Tailings Management Systems

Tailings Management Systems are organized methods used by mining companies to safely handle and store leftover materials, called tailings, after extracting minerals. These materials often contain fine particles and residual chemicals. The system involves containment structures like dams or ponds, monitoring their stability, and implementing safety measures to prevent leaks or failures. Proper management is essential to protect the environment, nearby communities, and workers from potential contamination or accidents. Effective tailings management balances resource recovery with environmental safety and long-term stability.
