MINE TAILINGS

SPECIALIZED ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS

The challenges associated with tailings storage are always increasing. Advances in
technology allow lower grade ores to be exploited, which generate higher volumes of waste
that require safe storage. Environmental regulations are also advancing, placing more
stringent requirements on the mining industry, particularly with regard to tailings storage
practices and dust containment.

Soil Solutions provides short, medium and long term sustainable solutions with respect to
effective dust control and remediation on mine tailings and residue deposits, which will
improve the integrity of the tailings structure, without the continuous use of water or expensive
and ineffective irrigation systems. Effective Tailings management will ensure decreased
liability, environmental compliance, decreased effect on neighbouring communities, and an CO 2
over all decreased environmental impact. As with all projects Soil Solutions will provide
specifically engineered solutions for your dust control and remediation of tailings which will
take into consideration a number of prevailing factors including:

Tailings Deposition Schedule Accessibility

Direction of Prevailing Wind Existing Condition

Buttress Current Erosion Problems

Sides and Slopes Life of Tailings and Remediation Plan

Beach Areas

Our dust control solution will entail only one application which can last up to 4 years if required, this results in substantial cost
savings when compared to the expensive and maintenance intensive irrigation systems as well as a substantial decrease in
water use, which also contributes to improved structural integrity of the tailings.

For longer term remediation, we provide effective Hydro seeding solutions, which are effective with just one application.
