Using an Old Tailings Dam to Build a New Tailings Area
Using an Old Tailings Dam to Build a New Tailings Area
(OP)
Our company recently purchased an old mining license with an old tailings dam perched in the valley. We would really like to get rid of the dam altogether and minimize all risk. We are currently auger sampling the dam to see if there is a valuable resource that we can add into our mill at a future date. However, there is also talk of using the material to construct the New Tailings Area. I was thinking we could use it in the transition zone between the random fill zone and the sand drainage zone. I have been trying to do some research online but no luck, does anyone have suggestions or related links?
Cheers

if the old dam is coarser than your new tailings then I would agree with placing the old tailings via spigots or cyclones to build the new dam walls.
