In this workshop, industry experts will build on the publicly available BHP/Rio Tinto Filtered Stacked Tailings Guide for Study Managers, a link to which will be sent to registered individuals prior to the workshop.
With increased emphasis on safe tailings management within the mining industry, filtered tailings have emerged as a leading option for mine operators aiming to significantly reduce the water volume discharged and stored in surface tailings facilities. The successful implementation of a filtered stacked tailings project presents many challenges, including ensuring the physical and chemical stability of the tailings stacks, effectively transporting and placing the dewatered tailings, and selecting scalable dewatering processes – all while maintaining economic viability.
Key learning outcomes
