Description:   The management of mine tailings was discussed with respect to disposal. Previous disposal strategies were to just deposit tailings in nearby watercourses or on land with no means of retention. This leads to chemical contamination of biota (heavy metal contamination), and dust problems from dried tailings. Strategies to contain tailings, and reclaim and revegetate these containment areas were explained.
