Several efforts are underway to extract gold and copper from tailings. Reprocessing mine tailings may also have environmental benefits. A recent project described in Mining is a series of experiments carried out …
In 2014, a tailings dam at the Mount Polley copper and gold mine in British Columbia failed as a result of an unstable foundation, sending 24 million cubic metres of slurry into the surrounding waterways. A year later, the Samarco mine's tailings dam failed as a result of seismic activity combined with structural defects and other issues.
Either way, sustainable re-handling and reprocessing of tailings is becoming a more prominent part of mining operations. Tailings management requires a careful approach and integrated solutions. All aspects relating to de-risking, re-handling, water management and reprocessing need to be considered in a sustainable way.
Extraction and reprocessing of gold mine tailings have shown to be more profitable than the conventional mining, since it require fewer resources considering that the comminution costs have already been incurred 2 . It also allows additional production without increasing mines foot prints and without requiring additional land permits.
The project involves the reprocessing of ground rock, known as tailings, from which gold was previously extracted in the Golden Sunlight mills. The focus will be on removing and concentrating sulfur (iron pyrite) that will then be sold to and used in gold production by Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), the largest gold producing complex in the world.

The type of extraction method that can be used on mine waste depends on the mineral deposits the tailings come from and what processing approach was used to generate them, says Jowitt. If similarities are found between systems, similar approaches could be used across tailings facilities.
SYNOPSIS The reprocessing of tailings resources to extract gold on an industrial scale has become common practice. While these projects are common in the Witwatersrand basin, similar low ...
A study on how to figuring out ways to turn gold tailings to profits with novel reprocessing technologies to extract valuable gold metals from the waste.
Tailings Reprocessing ASGM tailings are typically reprocessed to extract residual economic value. Research indicates that cyanide leaching is the most practised method for recovering gold from tailings. However, due to the ubiquitous use of mercury in ASGM and the mixing of tailings at
As mentioned above, the reprocessing of tailings as a primary input material in different sectors can diminish the extraction of new ore bodies and certify the lucrative usage of the tailings. This situation accelerates the conversion from linear to circular economy in the tailings reuse. ... Copper/gold tailings-based geopolymer: Improved ...
It expects to recover 58 kg of gold per month, and has enough slimes to last until 2025. Goldfields has also developed new technology for a tailings retreatment plant, and …
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-
Strategic Acquisition: Element79 Gold will purchase the tailings from Palaza for a competitive price of USD $10 per ton, plus VAT (18%), with a base case (optional total batch purchase) of $10 per ...
EnviroGold Global's Hellyer Tailings Reprocessing Project began in August of 2020 when Hellyer Gold Mines Pty Ltd ("HGM") engaged the Company to assess the feasibility of recovering precious ...
EnviroGold Global Executes MOU to Reprocess Tailings with 634k oz Gold, 22.9M oz Silver and 419k tonnes Copper-Lead-Zinc with grades of 2.60 g/t Au, 94 g/t Ag, 2.33% Zn, 3.01% Pb and 0.19% Cu Contained in 6.37Mt of Measured & Indicated and 1.21Mt of Inferred Resources ... Commenting on the Hellyer Tailings Reprocessing Project, EnviroGold ...
By reprocessing tailings, dewatering them and then storing them in a dry stack, mines can remove some of the economic, environmental and societal risks associated with tailings stored in slurry. The water recovered can then be reused, helping to drive down abstraction and logistics costs. As 70% of the mines operated today by the majors are in ...
The reprocessing of tailings resources to extract gold on an industrial scale has become common practice. While these projects are common in the Witwatersrand basin, similar low-technology processes are not operational in smaller goldfields. This study explores the possibility of reclaiming the tailings dump of
In gold, copper sulfide and iron ore tailings, the potential of extracting minerals is an opportunity. Reprocessing tailings to collect the valuable minerals can be a cost-effective …
Reprocessing Gold Tailings by Gravity Methods. Tailings originating from the gravity concentration of a gold ore containing about 14 g/t Au have been treated by various beneficiation methods. These tailings have been screened on the 147 and 74 micron sieves and the two coarsest fractions have been separated on shaking tables with unsatisfactory ...
Beneficiation and reprocessing gold tailings. Nowadays, more and more mining companies are figuring out ways to turn tailings to profits with novel reprocessing technologies to extract valuable metals from the waste. Tailings reprocessing is gaining more and more traction both for economic and environmental reasons. Here are some example include:
WHITEHALL, Mont., Feb. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) – The pioneering Tailings Reprocessing Project at Barrick's end-of-life Golden Sunlight Mine ...
1911 Gold (TSXV: AUMB; OTC: AUMBF) has begun tailings reprocessing operations at the True North complex at Bissett, Man., where it expects to process between 170,000 and 190,000 tonnes of historical tailings this year to recover approximately 3,500 to 4,000 oz. of gold.. Early in 2022, the company completed a sampling program to characterize …
The mining and ore processing of sulfide-bearing deposits generates large volumes of waste rock (WR) and tailings, which often contain barren and residual iron sulfides (e.g., pyrite and pyrrhotite).
Similarly, tailings dumps arising from the processing of chrome ore in the Lower Group reefs of the BC are also being retreated to recover PGEs. Several commercially profitable enterprises have also been set up with the …
