Mining produces large volumes of waste rock that must be managed long term, well beyond the ‘life of mine’. Mine waste must be managed to mitigate potential issues such as Acid and Metalliferous Drainage and to enable valuable metals or other materials contained within the waste rock to be recovered.
Categories of technical and scientific mine rehabilitation publications related to mine waste management are listed below. Publications will be added on individual pages as they become available.
-
Publications on practices for managing mine waste in Queensland.
-
Publications on mine waste reprocessing for Queensland mines.
