Mine tailings and waste management
Many of the everyday products we enjoy contain minerals, and the demand for these raw materials continues to grow. However, mineral extraction generates tailings and waste that mining operators must manage responsibly to minimize the environmental impact of their operations while ensuring the safety of neighbouring communities.
How can you successfully fulfill your regulatory and social obligations without eating away at your profit margins? It’s important to be aware of the real costs associated with your mine waste and tailings, and to ensure their rigorous planning and management.

Conducting operations in a more sustainable and economical way
Understanding the full cost of managing your tailings can help you identify sources of considerable savings and profitability. Your goal is to find technical solutions that are both practical and economical, so you can dispose of your tailings, whether solid or liquid, while respecting regulations related to your area of activity. There are various factors to consider when choosing solutions, such as the distance tailings must travel before disposing of them.
Your challenges:
- Identify and manage long-term tailings risks
- Minimize the impact of tailings ponds on ecosystems
- Optimize your mine tailings management
- Respect regulations
