Description:   The development and implementation of a mine tailings metal recovery process by St. Genevieve Resources was discussed.  The multi-step process removes sulphates and extracts useable metals from mine waste tailings.   The process eliminates the environmental deterioration caused by leaching from the tailings while also allowing the utilization of a previously unfeasable source of metals.  The company currently has contracts to treat 30 million tonnes of tailings containing various amounts of tin, gold, zinc and copper.
