On the southern side of the slimes dam, seepage collects in a drain and flows southwards down a small valley. Seepage from the western toe of the slimes dam collects in a drain, which flows, along with seepage from the northern side of the slimes dam, into a natural wetland that is to the north of the slimes dam. Outflow from this wetland is ...

Today, the universal disposal method for tailings is the tailing pond. Tailings are slurried with water and pumped to tailing ponds for settling. Frequently, tailings are cyclone-classified before deposition. Coarse sands are used to build-up the tailing dam, while the slimes are deposited inside the pond.

Background. Recent major tailings dam failures have led to an industry-wide review of the design and management of tailings storage facilities. Before the 1960s, mine tailings were often disposed directly into ponds, lakes, rivers or natural topographic depressions, or stored in impoundments supported by earthen dams, without necessarily …

Tailings dams are used to store water and waste that come as by products from the mining process. It is estimated there are at least 3,500 tailings dams around the world. But as there are around 30,000 industrial mines, the number of tailings dams is likely to be much higher. Tailings dams can be huge in size, as big as lakes, and reach 300 ...
