Q » Explain the process of Tailings.
31 Oct, 2025
A » Tailings are the byproducts of mining operations, consisting of ground rock and process effluents. During mining, ore is crushed and processed to extract valuable minerals, leaving behind tailings. These are stored in tailings ponds or impoundments to prevent environmental contamination. Proper management is crucial to prevent pollution, ensuring that tailings are contained and eventually rehabilitated to restore ecosystems and landscapes post-mining activities.
