Mining, milling, and tailings

Mine and mill tailings (releases over 10,000 years)

The tailings ponds are the largest toxic impoundments on the planet.

And the tailings ponds range in size up to 9,000 acres.

So this is an absolutely this is one of the larger tailings ponds.

SemCrude, just one of the licensees, in just one of their tailings ponds, dumps 250,000 tons of this toxic gunk every single day.

In addition, in many areas the hazards of natural origin interact with those of technological and human origin, such as inadequate waste disposal in riverbeds, industrial waste and mine tailings.

(c) A review of state of the art technologies dealing with processing of mining waste and tailings for the recovery of useful mineral components in order to alleviate disposal problems.

The tar sands consume more water than any other oil process, three to five barrels of water are taken, polluted and then returned into tailings ponds, the largest toxic impoundments on the planet.

Finally, I would like to express my growing concern about the restrictions placed on humanitarian operations in Eritrea, including the significant delay in relief food distributions, the impoundment of the United Nations project vehicles and the lack of access to some of the Organization's warehouses and containers.

53. Inasmuch as Burkina Faso apos s Sahelian area is studded with artisanal gold miners apos tailings of the type found at Essakane, it is reasonable to envisage several small mines of the same kind in the near future.

And of course, these tailings ponds well, you can't see many ponds from outer space and you can see these, so maybe we should stop calling them ponds these massive toxic wastelands are built unlined and on the banks of the Athabasca River.
