Tailings management at Nabarlek
Description
Nabarlek is the first opencut mine to have its tailings placed directly in the pit from which the ore was won. An account is given of the continual re-assessment and upgrading of the operations and technology in relation to tailings disposal. The main decision was to change from subaqueous to a semi-dry deposition, using geotextile laying and a free draining gravel or cobbles for covering. Some of the lessons learned during this operation are enunciated. 2 refs., 5 figs
