Water & Tailings Management

Manages processed waste through engineered transport, placement, containment, monitoring, and closure practices. The selected approach considers geochemistry, water balance, geotechnical stability, environmental protection, land use, and long-term stewardship.

Engineered facilities contain tailings and process water through safe operation, monitoring, and closure. Design considers site conditions, water balance, embankment stability, seepage control, extreme events, closure, and long-term performance.

Removes contaminants from mine and process water to support reuse, compliant discharge, or environmental protection. Treatment systems are tailored to flow, water chemistry, discharge standards, receiving conditions, and opportunities for recycling.

Captures and returns water from process streams and tailings systems to reduce freshwater demand and discharge. Efficient recovery improves site water balance, lowers operating costs, and supports more resilient and sustainable plant performance.

Blends thickened tailings with binders and water to fill underground voids and support mine stability. The mixture can provide ground support, improve ore recovery, reduce surface tailings storage, and place process waste underground.
