MDAG Case Study 6
Studies). There are numerous case studies that show the preceding oxidation profile exists in many tailings impoundments in many countries and climates (Morin and Hutt, 1997). Some recent field studies by Dold ... Dold et al. (1996) indicated there were two sources for acidity in the tailings. First, although the tailings on the hillside were discharged at pH 11, the mill water apparently became ...

MDAG Case Study 5
(Figure 5). Tailings are often pulverized rock with much of the economic metals/minerals removed in another component, the mill. The tailings are typically sent as a slurry to an impoundment for storage. Due to this semi-liquid form of placement, tailings impoundments often cover the largest land ...
