Predicting Groundwater Inflows At The Yaramoko Gold Mine, Burkina Faso
Michael Palmer

Groundwater flow in crystalline rock environments with poorly developed or unsaturated saprolite is dominated by fracture flow, whether this be within the upper weathered/fractured zone or deeper in the bedrock where structural discontinuities are present.

Assessing Flood Hydrology In Data Scarce Tropical Regions
Francis Smith

A robust hydrological assessment can be a challenging task in regions where a lack of data, of a sufficient quality, is available to fully validate both hydrological assessments.

Improved Conceptualisation Of Shallow Weathered Groundwater Flow Using Surface Geophysics
Paul Hubbard

Shallow groundwater flow in weathered hard rock areas typically focuses on fractured weathered zones, which are often simplistically conceptualised with a uniform thickness and permeability.

Water Supply For A Permafrost Mine Project In Northern Russia
Houcyne El Idrysy, Lenar Sultanov

Mine project Feasibility Studies (FS) usually require the involvement of various consultancies and process design companies where cooperation between the involved parties is critical to the success of the study.

Prediction Of Cyanide Draindown In Arid Environments
David Tait, Iozsef Miskolczi

Heap leach pads are continuously irrigated with raffinate solution during their operational life; typically cyanide solution for gold ore, and sulfuric acid for base metal leaching such as copper or nickel.

A Commitment Too Far? - World Risk Report
Jane Joughin, Emily Harris

While operational mines usually have the necessary environmental and social approvals and permits, many struggle to keep on top of accompanying compliance obligations, which can number in the hundreds, even thousands, and be impracticable.
