2021-1-4 Some tailings impoundments are hydraulically mined to not just process the tailings but to re-site them for environmental reasons. This is an affective method and can take a shorter time than mechanical excavation, depending on the density and particle sizes of the tailings.

More2021-1-4 The tailings dumps were hydraulically mined, reprocessed and stored in an engineered impoundment located 10km south east of Kalgoorlie. From the 60 million tonnes of tailings mined 695,000 ounces of gold was recovered by Carbon-in-Circuit (CIC) and Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) leach and absorption circuits (Kaltails 1998; Normandy 1998).

More2017-6-16 In the past, mill tailings have been discharged onto hillsides or directly into lakes or streams. These practices are now prohibited by state and federal laws. Today, the universal disposal method for tailings is the tailing pond. Tailings are slurried with water and pumped to tailing ponds for settling.

MoreAt the Lindum dam, the INTASOL team is taking a two tiered approach of hydraulically cutting off the top, sterile section of the dam in order to hydro mine the gold tailings below. Meticulous planning and co-ordination ensures that we remove and pump the top sections to a pit area, while we efficiently hydro mine the lower sections that have been exposed.

During the first year of tailings placement, the tailings elevation is expected to rise 100 m, with this
MoreTailings are part of virtually any mining/refining process. Tailings are the stream of unwanted residuals of mined ore that are deposited (usually hydraulically) in large storage dams adjacent an operation. If not managed correctly they can become unsafe, high risk structures that create legacy issues for local community and the environment. ...
