November 2019 SECTION MEETING:

Tailings and Water Retention Structures at Mine Sites

Join us for a presentation from Dave Enos, manager of U.S. legacy and dormant property portfolio for Teck American Incorporated
Several recent tailings dam failures causing loss of human life and significant environmental damage have prompted regulatory and investor scrutiny of global tailings dam management practices. As a result, the mining industry is predicted to require more tailings dam engineers, potentially leading to a shortage of qualified professionals. This presentation provides an introduction to mining  waste tailings dams including: types of dams, changing legal and societal requirements, and key risk failure mode evaluation and mitigation.
