The management of Mine Tailings Storage Facilities is a critical part of any mining operation
and forms one of its largest future liabilities. Therefore effective management is critical long
after the mining operations have ceased, the Tailings Storage Facilities remain.

To minimize current and future liabilities, Soil Solutions
has devised a number of specialized applications for
use on Mine Tailings Storage Facilities, which will
improve the integrity of the structures, reduce water
usage, eliminate dust and erosion while allowing the
growth of vegetation.

Soil Solutions provides short, medium and long-term
sustainable solutions with respect to effective dust and
erosion control for remediation of mine tailings storage
facilities. Our solutions will improve the integrity of the
tailings structure, without the continuous use of water
or expensive and ineffective shade cloth barriers and
irrigation systems.

Effective Tailings management will ensure decreased
liability, environmental compliance, reduced effect
on neighbouring communities and an over all
decreased environmental impact.

As with all of our projects, Soil Solutions will provide custom Value Engineered Solutions™ for
your dust control and remediation of tailings facilities that take into consideration a number
of prevailing factors including:

Ü Tailings Deposition Schedule
Ü Direction of Prevailing Wind
Ü Stability of Buttress and Day walls
Ü Dust Mitigation of Beach Areas
Ü Slope length, height and orientation
Ü Accessibility
Ü Existing Conditions
Ü Current Wind and Water Erosion Problems
Ü Life of Tailings and Remediation Plan

Our dust and erosion abatement solutions require ONLY ONE application,
which will last up to 10 years where required!

Resulting in substantial cost savings compared to the expensive and maintenance intensive
shade cloth barriers and irrigation systems, while providing a substantial decrease in water use,
which will also allow for improved structural integrity of the tailings.
