10,180,000,000. 8,850,000,000. Tailings are what is left over after mills separate the metal from the mined rock. The processed material "tailings" comes from the "tail" end of a mining mill and comprise fine particles mixed with water forming a slurry. Mining companies will store this waste in dams or ponds.

1. Introduction. Hazardous mine tailings (HMTs) are the by-products of mining industries and consist of a mass of heavy metal elements that can result in severe environmental impacts and loss of human life where catastrophic HMTs dam failure happens [1], [2], [3].In China, up to 1.5 billion tons of HMTs (e.g. including lead-zinc tailings, copper tailings, …

Introduction. Tailings consist of ground rock and process effluents that are generated in a mine processing plant. Mechanical and chemical processes are used to extract the desired product from the run of the mine ore and produce a waste stream known as tailings. This process of product extraction is never efficient, nor is it possible to ...

Say a copper mine produced 1Mt of metal in 1999 at 90% recovery. The remaining 10% of copper, around 111kt, went to tailings. If the average copper price in 1999 was US$1,500/tonne then that 10% represented US$166.5 million of metal. Fast forward 20 years and at today's price, US$5,842/tonne, if that material could be reprocessed and an …
