Tailings Management

Tailings management refers to the process of handling the waste materials left over after extracting valuable minerals from ore during mining. These waste products, known as tailings, can contain harmful substances that pose environmental risks. Effective tailings management aims to minimize these risks by safely storing and treating tailings to prevent contamination of soil, water, and air. This involves designing secure storage facilities, monitoring for potential leaks, and implementing rehabilitation measures to restore the land post-mining. Proper management is crucial for protecting ecosystems and surrounding communities while ensuring the mining industry operates sustainably.
