The rest of the rock is known as tailings. It comes out of the concentrator as a wet slurry and is typically stored near to the mine, in most cases within a tailings pond. The tailings pond at the Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide copper-zinc-silver-gold Myra Falls Mine on Vancouver Island is shown on Figure 8.2.3.

Mining is of great relevance to the global economy, but its activities are challenging due to socio-environmental impacts. In January 2019, an iron ore tailings dam collapsed in Brumadinho (Minas Gerais, Brazil) releasing 12 × 10 6 m 3 of tailings, causing human losses and devastation around 3.13 × 10 6 m 2 of a watershed.

Iron ore tailings (IOTs) are a form of solid waste produced during the beneficiation process of iron ore concentrate. In this paper, iron recovery from IOTs was studied at different points during a process involving pre-concentration followed by direct reduction and magnetic separation. Then, slag-tailing concrete composite admixtures …

The mine tailings can be considered for re-mining, instead of being merely discarded. Re-mining tailings extends the operating life of existing mines. The approach of viewing the disused materials from mines (overburden and tailings) as a potential resource rather than waste helps to ascertain strategies for preventing waste or transforming ...

What Are Gold Tailings. To be shortly saying, tailings are ground up rock minus the gold. The placer or rocks mined from underground which contains gold is called ore. The gold mining process involves crushing the ore into sand and dust to liberate and recover the gold. What's leftover is called tailings.
