Abstract This research aimed at recovering metals retained in the tailings from the flotation of copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) ores conducted at the New Concentrator in Kipushi (NCK). Metals retention in the tailings (0.73% Cu and 0.37% Co) increased due to the removal of the gravity separation section from the processing circuit together with …

DRD Gold extracted 33,600 ounces of gold, worth nearly US$40 million, in the last quarter of 2013. Mintails, a mine tailings processor, has developed new technology to process 350,000 tons of slimes from its extensive tailings resources. It expects to recover 58 kg of gold per month, and has enough slimes to last until 2025.
We are pleased to release the 2019 edition of the Africa Construction Trends (ACT) report, which includes 452 projects valued at US$50m or above, that had broken ground by 1 June 2019. In total, these projects are worth US$497bn. As done each year, the report includes continental, regional and sectoral capital project trends and also reveals ...

Mining is an important industry, accounting for 6.9% of global GDP. However, global development promotes accelerated demand, resulting in the accumulation of hazardous waste in land, sea, and air …
Tailings deposited as large piles can cause a variety of environmental problems: Slumps, landslides. Tailing piles can be unstable, and experience landslides. In 1966, in Aberfan, Wales, a hill of ...
Platinum had already reported a cumulative 730.8 Mt of generated tailings (Anglo Platinum, 2009). The ever-increasing volumes of piled PGM tailings pose considerable challenges to the mining sector. These alkaline tailings are regarded as hazardous waste, which must be managed properly to avoid contamination to local surface and ground waters.
Generally, metals are extracted from ores collected from hard rock mines. Recent advancement in mineral extraction technologies and declining ore grades in primary deposits have led to the idea of reprocessing of mine tailings as the potential secondary source of some of the critical minerals [15], [16], [17], [14].
Experiments conducted at the laboratory scale enabled identifying two exploitable routes for recovering metals retained in the tailings: firstly, the sulfuric acid …

Our studies indicate that metals obtained from reprocessed tailings can be up to three times cheaper than ore. Some iron-ore mines have 50%-55% metals content in their tailings, which is amazing really. And there are copper operations with 0.5% of copper in their tailings which is higher than what's in the ground.
The second, equally important reason for the low efficiency of ore processing was the equipment, which was not as advanced as it is today. ... In a situation in which global copper demand is growing and copper prices are steadily increasing, reprocessing copper tailings is becoming an increasingly logical decision [7, 8, 9].

The waste that emerges as a result of flotation of slags, and contains a certain amount of copper, is called tailings. Because the copper ore deposits in the world are decreasing, and their grade is dropping, it has become a necessity to recover valuable minerals from slag [2,3,4] and tailings [5,6,7].
To retreat 15 or 20 millions of tons of unsegregated tailings in which a large portion carries only 0.12 to 0.15 per cent., is no easy problem for the future metallurgist. There are many milling plants that treat complex ores which carry lead, zinc and copper, and it is not possible to make a satisfactory extraction from all of these values.
tailings rehandling and reprocessing Tailings deposits are found everywhere in the world where there is ongoing or legacy mining activity. These man-made deposits can present challenges for the owners, but can also hold interesting opportunities. Either way, sustainable rehandling and reprocessing of tailings is becoming a more prominent part
Copper is responsible for the largest quantity of tailings, with 40% of global stored tailings, according to corporate disclosures recorded by Franks et al. (2021). If this trend continues, the total amount of mining waste generated by the mining sector over the 2020-2050 period could be in the order of 2,000 Gt of tailings and waste rock.
