Mining
An old coppermine tailings dump is reclaimed using high pressure hydraulic monitoring. The resultant slurry is being processed in an acid leaching plant. The remaining tailings are pumped to a newly constructed tailings disposal facility (new tailings dam). Preliminary hydrogeological studies indicate a possible leakage of 2,000 m3/day at the newly constructed facility. To me, this seems quite a lot. What's your opinion? Many thanks in advance, Pimhein Kool
