Description:   To amass information on the long-term post-depositional activity of mine waste, the chemical behaviour of Zn, Cu and Pb in tailings discharged into Mandy Lake, Manitoba, was investigated. Two cores were collected that were representative of contrasting depositional facies. Tailings proved to be widely distributed, while underlying sediments were found to be organic-rich. Concentrations of heavy metals proved to be fairly low at both sites.
Notes: "An Acid Drainage Task Force project in contribution to MEND."
