Description:   The susceptibility of different types of ore deposits to acid rock drainage (ARD) problems was discussed, and seven mineral deposit types were ranked according to ARD potential. An investigation was also performed on the weatherability of common sulphide minerals, by studying the behaviour of sulphide minerals exposed to weathering agents. Finally, the role of a field geologist in acid rock drainage assessments, was evaluated.
Notes: Summary in English and French.
