Since 2004, the processing of the iron oxide?copper?gold (IOCG) ore of Guelb Moghrein, Akjoujt, Mauritania, has resulted in the generation of approximately 40 million tons of mine tailings. The storage of these tailings poses significant environmental ch...

Over a century ago, copper mills on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Lake Superior sluiced 64 million metric tonnes (MMT) of tailings into coastal waters, creating a metal-rich ?halo?. Here we show that relatively small discharges can spread widely in time and ...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major anthropogenic source of heavy metal discharge worldwide. However, little research has been carried out on the development of AMD in abandoned pyrite mines and the heavy metal contamination of mine surface water. The ai...

A native cyanide-degrading bacterial consortium was isolated from goldmine tailing sediments. Mine tailings are toxic effluents due to their metal?cyanide complexes. The bacterial consortium was able to degrade an initial sodium cyanide concentration ran...
