Mine tailings dams: Characteristics, failure, environmental impacts
The ratio of tailings to concentrate is commonly very high, generally around 200:1 (Lottermoser, 2007).Moreover, as the point of peak metal production is surpassed, the extraction of lower grade ore is an established long-term trend (Mason et al., 2010).For example, in Australia the average Cu grade was c. 10% in 1885 but it fell to 1% by 2005, …

Gold in Tailings — Mineralogical Characterisation and …
Gold extraction is largely driven by mineralogical factors, which can cause significant gold losses to tailings. Deportment studies of gold in tailings show that gold losses can occur either as liberated gold particles or as fine gold locked in sulfide and non-sulfide minerals, with locked-gold predominating.
