The large volumes of waste generated during gold beneficiation are a major pollution concern in South Africa. To remove these potential pollution risks in perpetuity, non-conventional approaches to mine waste management are required which avoid land disposal of "unwanted" material. This dissertation explores the opportunities, drivers and …
'ant heaps', old tailings which were processed 100 years ago by gold mining companies. "These 'ant heaps' had more gold in them than. most current day gold mines. Because the . technology at the time was not very sophisticated, they could not recover as much as they can now. Most of those historic tailings have now been reprocessed."
CHAnGes in version 3.1 Version 3.1 is an update to the third edition of A Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities (the Tailings Guide), released in November 2017, to reflect the second edition of MAC's Developing an Operation, Maintenance, and Surveillance Manual for Tailings and Water Management Facilities (the OMS Guide), …
Even though there are national mining waste registries, the information is often at a too generic level (e.g. not containing information on concentrations and impurities) in order to evaluate the remining potential, or the information may be available only in a specific language (Žibret et al., 2020).Table 1 shows as a major example the summary …
This can make mine tailings an environmental concern, so proper transportation and disposal are crucial. Consequently, the next step is to pump mine tailings away with slurry pumps into tailings ponds. Tailings ponds are sedimentation holding ponds enclosed by dams and liners to capture and store the waste.
historic gold tailings dams in the Witwatersrand area of South Africa is being investigated. The objective is to recover uranium and residual gold from the tailings, as well as to oxidize the sulphides to eliminate long term environmental liabilities associated with acid mine drainage. The tailings from the re-processing plant will be re-
This weathering can release the gold hidden in the rejected rock. To recover that gold, simply gather the fine material and pan it out. A couple of cautions: Old mine dumps are often on private property or active mining claims. Know the status of the ground before you collect material. The rocky slopes on the sides of mine dumps are often …
Mine tailings, the byproduct of mining and mineral processing, are increasingly mass produced as a result of increased demand for metals and minerals as well as the advancement in technology that allows for the exploitation of lower-grade ores. Lower grades can increase the volume of tailings that may contain new gangue …

Feasibility of tailings retreatment to unlock value and create environmental sustainability of the Louis Moore tailings dump near Giyani, South Africa N.K. Singo1 and J.D. Kramers1 Synopsis The reprocessing of tailings resources to extract gold on an industrial scale has become common practice.
The increased exploitation of ores leads to the generation of mining waste, which has a negative impact on the environment and human health. For this reason, it is necessary to take care of it in an adequate way by applying some of the possible treatments. In addition to protecting the environment by applying appropriate treatment, …
Gold extraction is largely driven by mineralogical factors, which can cause significant gold losses to tailings. Deportment studies of gold in tailings show that gold losses can occur either as liberated gold particles or as fine gold locked in sulfide and non-sulfide minerals, with locked-gold predominating. Studies
The former apartheid government placed many settlements near or even on top of the mining waste dumps. In 2013, mining companies produced 562,000 times as much waste as gold, according to the South African Chamber of Mines. A decade before, that same ratio was less than half as large, at 212,000 to 1.

The way tailings are handled can have a long-term impact on the mines' economic efficiency, risk management and sustainability. Stacking of tailings is still unconventional compared to the wet tailings dam approach. However, it seems that tailings filtration followed by stacking is the most promising and ecological way forward.
A standard method of reprocessing involves dragging tailings from an existing dam back to the concentrator and using required mineral processing solutions to liberate the valuable metals. The...
