Focus on Waste Geochemistry

Long-term water quality predictions are essential for innovative closure planning at mine sites. From years of experience, SRK has found that data from seepage monitoring programs can be a reliable indication of water quality when combined with careful characterisation of the wastes. Regular seepage surveys can be easily incorporated into...

As in other parts of the world the Mining Industry in South America is expanding at astonishing speed. As a consequence the need for high-level expertise in all aspects of the mining industry has never been greater and SRK in South America has been playing a key role in support...
