Tailings storage has always been a focus area for mining operations. But, more companies now are looking beyond storage to valorization. Opportunities exist for reprocessing or repurposing waste rock from mining. Resa Furey and Andrew Watson talk economic and environmental benefits of tailings valorization, while also sharing challenges and feasibility considerations. An overarching theme in this Mining Magazine article is collaboration between technology vendors, engineers, and consultants.
