TAILINGS MANAGEMENT: RESPONDING TO EMERGING CHALLENGES SEMINAR19–20 MARCH 2020
This two-day seminar will address the emerging challenges in the day-to-day management of tailings storage facilities and the obligation to comply with the relevant operating standards and closure requirements. It will explore the conditions and obstacles encountered in everyday mining, and innovative solutions utilised in different mining operations and environments; and will include case studies, specialist presentations and discussion sessions.
Topics covered include:• Upstream tailings storage facilities• An owner’s perspective on governance and stewardship• Mine closure planning from a legal perspective• Laboratory testing• In situ testing• In-pit tailings project case study• Examples of industry practices• Risk mitigation in response to static liquefaction• Concerns related to selenium from mining• Water management measures and problems related to
poor management• Filtered tailings forum• Economics of tailings storage facilities• Implications of the Draft Global Tailings Standard
(globaltailingsreview.org), including liability and securing insurance
STATIC LIQUEFACTION WORKSHOP17–18 MARCH 2020

Facilitator:
This two-day workshop aims to provide a demonstration of static liquefaction triggering as it related to tailings, and outline the various tools available to assess the potential for this behaviour. This will be achieved through explanation on the interpretation of the cone penetration test (CPT), laboratory techniques to refine CPT interpretation and provide inputs to other analyses, and finally analytical and numerical methods to assess static liquefaction susceptibility. The importance of understanding the brittleness of the material in question will be emphasised. Theoretical discussions will be alternated with examples from various failure case histories to highlight the relevance of the concepts.The workshop will include discussion of techniques developed over the past few decades to provide historical context, along with current state-of-practice approaches, and finally an outline of areas of current active research on the topic and the relevance of new data on engineering practice.
Mining and tailings consultants, operators of tailings storage facilities, as well as regulators will find this workshop of interest.
