South America: San José TSF Independent Audit

The HEMCO mining complex features an underground gold mine producing fine gold tailings, which are hydraulically deposited as slurry in a downstream tailings storage facility (TSF) since 2016. SRK Colombia was engaged to perform a dam safety inspection and an audit including site visits, and workshops to assess safety and compliance with Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and Canadian Dam Association (CDA) standards. SRK continues to support the project by identifying gaps and developing an action plan to implement updated GISTM and CDA guidelines for the operation and closure of tailings storage facilities.
