This paper describes the rehabilitation status of a gold tailings storage facility (TSF) on the Witwatersrand, South Africa. The aim of the rehabilitation was to effect surface stability and dust control, rather than ecological restoration and closure.
Gold mining in South Africa resulted in vast volumes of tailings, which have been deposited in impoundments. Poor management of most of the tailings dams resulted in the escape of seepage, adversely affecting soils and water quality. Some tailings dams have been partially or completely reclaimed leaving contaminated footprints. These zones …

The process to extract gold from mined ore produces waste called tailings, or slurry. At South Deep, this slurry is made up of small mineral particles and water that contains traces of the chemicals and reagents used in the gold extraction process. Our mine is certified in terms of the International Cyanide Management Code, which prescribes how ...
Brief history of gold mining in South Africa. INCLUDING MAJOR EVENTS. 1873. First large-scale production began when alluvial deposits were discovered at Pilgrim's Rest. 1884. Gold was discovered in the …
Contaminant leaching from gold mining tailings dams in the Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa: A new geochemical modelling approach
The name is derived from "happy prospect" in Afrikaans, and once upon a time, life and the gold haul were both good at the Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mine, 50 miles west of Johannesburg. But two years after the mine's owners abandoned it because it was unprofitable, sewage runs in the streets of the old mining village, tailings impoundments ...

This article corresponds to an independent study that answers questions concerning the definition of mine tailings and the socio-environmental risks linked with mine tailings chemical composition by examining the practical experience of industrial-scale copper and gold mining projects in Chile and Peru.
This paper describes the rehabilitation status of a gold tailings storage facility (TSF) on the Witwatersrand,South Africa.
Radiological hazards associated with exposure to Naturally Occurring Radionuclides Materials from gold mine tailings in the province of Gauteng in South Africa were evaluated.
Tailings retreatment represents the greatest contribution to recycling by Pan African. By reprocessing waste rock and tailings to extract gold left behind during the initial mining …
Gold mining activities in South Africa resulted in contamination of residential environment with uranium-rich wastes from mine tailings. Health of the people living around the mine tailings could be affected by uranium exposure due to its hazardous chemotoxic and radiological properties.
GOLD TAILINGS RECLAMATION IN. [ [. r: [ [ [ [ [. SOUTH AFRICA l. by JJP van Wyk2. Abstract. This paper deals with the history of rehabilitation (reclamation) on gold mine …
With gold supply only increasing 1.5% to 2% a year worldwide and being constrained, South Africa has the equivalent of half a dozen gold mines in the form of tailings available for turning to ...
South African legislation requires mines to address all residual pollutant impacts and to initiate an end land- use that conforms to the concept of sustainable development, before they can be considered for closure. The conventional vegetation for gold tailings in South Africa involves grass planting into ameliorated tailings, and is primarily used for dust …
Tailless utilization process of gold tailings. The all-component clean resource utilization process of gold tailings includes the following steps: (1) Firstly, the gold tailings are classified using a hydraulic cyclone, resulting in coarse gold tailings of + 325 mesh and fine gold tailings of − 325 mesh, respectively.
