Closure options under consideration at some iron ore mine sites in Western Australia include backfilling with mineralised and/or non-mineralised waste rock. Post-closure, following groundwater rebound, flow-through conditions may develop in the backfill located within the saturated zone below Read more... about Weathered Sulfidic Waste – Laboratory-Scale Tests for Assessing Water Quality in Backfilled Pits

The Century open cut zinc mine at Lawn Hill recently changed ownership from MMG Limited (MMG) to New Century Resources (NCR). Closure planning for the site was initiated by Zinifex, developed further by MMG, and is continuing under the new ownership. The waste rock dumps will be covered with a Read more... about Pit Lake Water Quality Modelling at Century Mine

Characterization of acid mine water by acidity helps us explore possibilities for recovering by-products with economic value and choosing the most suitable and efficient treatment system possible. This is because characterization by acidity allows us to ascertain not only protonic acidity, but Read more... about Acid Mine Water Treatment With Recovery Of By-Products Of Economic Value

Closure options under consideration at some sites include backfilling mined-out pits with waste rock. Backfill may include mineralised and non-mineralised waste rock. Following groundwater rebound, flow-through conditions may develop in the pit post- closure. The backfill located in the Read more... about Backfilled Pits – Laboratory-scale Tests for Assessing Impacts on Groundwater Quality

Various Australian and international regulatory bodies (Environmental Protection Authority, 2015) require an early assessment of the geochemistry of waste rock. This usually includes estimates of the locations and volumes of potentially acid-forming (PAF) materials and requires sampling of the Read more... about Geostatistics and Sample Numbers from an Acid and Metalliferous Drainage Perspective
