RAVENSTHORPE NICKEL PROJECT - TAILINGS STORAGE FACILITY
50 km north of, Hopetoun, WA 6348 Has Ravensthorpe Nickel Project - Tailings Storage Facility currently at Construction stage. Development will comprise a Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) to store a maximum of 87.81 Mt over a 25 year life. It is proposed that 3.51 Mtpa will be stored in the TSF. The TSF will comprise 3 cells of 180-190 Hectares each. The TSF will be using thickened tailings. This will reduce seepage induced groundwater impacts. This will be achieved by limiting the formation of a water pond on the tailings surface by thickening the tailings slurry prior to discharge, maximising evaporation from TSF and maximising transfer of liquid from the TSF to the evaporation pond. The evaporation ponds will be a maximum height of 2.9 metres and store annually 1.58 Mtpa. A permanent spillway will also be constructed. Click for more details...

BROWNS OXIDE PROJECT - NEW TAILINGS FACILITY
7 Km North West of, Batchelor, NT 0845 Has Browns Oxide Project - New Tailings Facility currently at Construction stage. The Tailings Storage Facility associated with the approved BOP has been found to overly a zone of potentially economic mineralisation. To avoid sterilisation of this zone of mineralisation th Company intends to construct a new TSF to contain the tailing from ore processed from the Browns oxide deposit in a location immediately adjacent to the approved TSF location. The new TSF has been designed on the basis that it will store both tailing and potentially acid forming (PAF) waste rock from the deposit. Prepatory activities associated with the construction of the new TSF are: vegetation clearing and grubbing, topsoil stripping and stockpiling, levelling of the site and compaction of existing clayey soils. The construction of the TSF will involve: an internal lining of compacted clayey soil, comprising a number of layers of low permeability material. Material for this zone will be preferentially sourced from a borrow pit located within the storage area, a rockfill zone for the external empbankment, constructed using NAF pit waste material, an internal ramp to access the decant system, and a PAF bund. The PAF bund will provide a physical barrier between tailings and the PAF waste, and is required because the tailings level will be higher than PAF waste level in the early stages of construction. A protective rockfill layer place (loose) over the face of the Zone 1 layer to provide protection from erosion and evaporative drying. Click for more details...
