a Density of hard rock metallic mines in the Western USA. Additional associated exposure sources include ore transfer stations, waste piles, mill tailings piles, and areas affected by spills, resulting in more than 500,000 discrete contamination sources . Sites are most often unmarked, unfenced, and located only through historical memory or
-hard rock mines must continually be re supplied with a wide range of products. In the North, the majority of supplies are transported over a vast network of ice roads. Trucks can break through the ice, leaking petroleum products and possibly toxic contents. Table 1 lists specific examples of waters impacted by hard rock mining in the North.
Résumé Objectives -- Scope and content of this thesis -- The sate of the knowledge and practice -- Hard rock mine waste and tailings impoundments -- Liquefaction -- Evaluation of the potential for liquefaction -- The liquefaction of hard rock tailings -- Methods of controlling liquefaction and its effects -- The use of waste rock inclusions in tailings impoundments -- Modeling liquefaction
Characterization of the Tailings. The basic geotechnical properties of the four tailings are summarized in Table 1, and Fig. 1 displays the grain size distributions. The specific gravity of the coarse and fine iron tailings are 3.23 and 3.08, respectively, which are consistent with those of metal tailings but much higher than those of natural soils.
Waste Rock and Mill Tailings: The same methods and equipment used to store or stockpile conventional aggregates are applicable for waste rock or mill tailings. Coal Refuse : Prior to using the refuse to construct a granular base, the bank should be cleaned or processed to recover the residual coal or combustible matter.

OMC is found to vary from 14.27% to 11.65% and the corresponding MDD varies from 1873 kg/m 3 to 1954 kg/m 3, which is fairly comparable with the typical results of hard rock mill tailings. The average effective porosity and void ratio for the optimum condition are close to 32.8% and 0.49, respectively.
The addition of reagents used in mineral processing may also change the chemical characteristics of the processed minerals and therefore the properties of the tailings and waste rock (EC 2004). The processing of hard rock sulphidic bearing ores is just one example of accelerated weathering.

The Mt. Emmons mine would generate 6,000 tons of mined ore per day for 10.5 years, requiring extensive construction of tailings dump sites in the headwaters of Ohio and Carbon Creeks, a vast industrial complex of mills, slurry pipelines and roadways, and one or more tailings impoundments of 200 acres bounded by 200 feet tall dams.
The miners were willing to take the risks in order to provide for their families. The miners would cart the ore out of the mine in wheeled carts pushed on rails and take it to the mill. The gold milling process consisted of three general steps: (1) Sorting the ore by size. (2) Crushing the rock. (3) Extracting the gold.

tailings and waste rock (EC 2004). Problems arise when this accelerated weathering process generates toxic levels that create short and long term tailings management challenges. The processing of hard rock sulphidic bearing ores is just one example of the potential problems associated with accelerated weathering.
The specific gravity of mill tailings, based on limited data, appears to range between 2.60 and 3.35, with most tailings having values under 3.0 except for iron ore and taconite tailings. The dry rodded weight of most mill tailings is likely to range from 1450 to 2200 kg/m 3 3 (90 to 135 lb/ft 3 ).

Cemented paste backfill has been proposed in the mining industry for managing metal mill tailings. Low sulfide tailing (0.49 wt%) samples were prepared into different cemented pastes that were mixed with flocculants (polymerized aluminum chloride). The best mixing proportions of tailings, binder, flocculant, and filling structure (containing 0.5 wt% of ordinary Portland cement in one paste
Tailings. Tailings are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the uneconomic fraction ( gangue) of an ore. Tailings are distinct from overburden, which is the waste rock or other material that overlies an ore or mineral body and is displaced during mining without being processed.
Past Hard Rock Mining Signs Pointing Toward Gold, and How to Use Them. Hard rock operations, of course, have an additional issue of dangerous old workings. I do not recommend going inside old underground mines. Mill Tailings. Mill tailings are the material that was crushed to a fine powder in order to extract the valuable minerals in the
The addition of reagents used in mineral processing may also change the chemical characteristics of the processed minerals and therefore the properties of the tailings and waste rock (EC 2004). The processing of hard rock sulphidic bearing ores is just one example of accelerated weathering.
The new emerging techniques such as environmental desulphurization, covers built with sulphide-free tailings, co-disposal of tailings and waste rocks, geotextile tube dewatering, and use of tailings in the cement production and road construction for both industrial and environmental purposes are discussed in terms of waste minimization.

Waste rock will be disposed of in five distinct waste rock storage areas (“WRSA”) of which four are located around the pit and one further to the south. The open pit generates 675.9 Mt of waste rock, 1.6 Mt of backfill, 3.16 Mt of historical tailings and 8.7 Mt of overburden that require storage.
tively used on metal-enriched soils and hard-rock mine wasted, such as TSFs, particularly in temperate areas (i.e., [10, 23, 24, 34, 35]), its use on postoperative TSFs of north-central Chile represent a new challenge. On one hand, postoperative TSFs being generated by large-scale copper mine operations in Chile have larger surface areas than the
Old hard rock tailings Years ago here in Arizona they were taking truck loads of ore from a famous Gold Mine on the Southern flanks of hard rock gold. Midas Gold Reports Results from Historic Tailings at Golden Opinion How the stock market behaves before and after Thanksgiving.
Basin Mill is used for ore mined from small hard rock mining operations. The mill utilizes crushing, grinding, and froth floatation to produce a concentrate from ore. The process results in the generation of rock tailings. This technique, first used in Montana in 1911, is commonly used for the recovery and upgrading of sulfide ores.
