Objetivo Mining has been a principal industry within Europe for thousands of years and continues to provide growth potential and associated socio-economic benefits. The safe and environmentally storage of the process wastes in the tailings facility (TSF) is an important cost for most mining projects, both during operation and post closure. Recent EU Landfill Driective COM(93)275 are currently being adopted by regulators and potentially, TSF will represent a high proportion of capital expenditure at start up and significant liability post closure. In the proposed study the aim is to develop technologies that can be incorporated into the operational phase to achieve cost effective tailings closure systems. In some cases the closure of a TSF may represent more than 50% of the overall closure cost. It is expected that the employment of cost effective closure technologies may reduce costs by at least 15%. The potential cost savings has been estimated at 1.2 billion Euros in the EU region.
