Mining’s toxic timebomb: dams full of poisonous waste are dotted around the world. What happens when they burst? While tailings dams are meant to last for ever, extreme weather events are making many unstable – with devastating consequences for nature and humans

'Tailings dams – repositories of mining waste that is often toxic and stored under water – litter landscapes around the world. Often, they hold huge quantities of poisonous, harmful material.'

The most alarming finding at #RedChris involves its #tailings dam.

It is built on the same unstable clay layers that led to the catastrophic failure of the #MountPolleyDam in 2014. Despite this, and repeated fines for failed monitoring, its expansion is being fast-tracked.

Alberta government creating standards for releasing oil tailings into environment | CBC News The Alberta government says it will begin creating standards for releasing treated oil tailings into the environment.

The deployment will focus on selectively removing impurities from nickel concentrates to enhance metal recovery. current operations leave valuable nickel in tailings due to smelter specifications that penalize impurities like magnesium.

Retrogressive, rotational liquefaction failures of tailings at Andavilque in Bolivia. Still from a video posted to Youtube, showing repeated collapses of the mine waste, eating back into the lagoon.

Amazing footage of the 16 March 2025 #tailings #landslide at #Andavilque, #Bolivia has been posted to Youtube, showing retrogressive failures.

There was been a very serious, large-scale #tailings #landslide at Andavilque in the department of Potosi in #Bolivia on Sunday 16 March 2025 at about 5:30 am. The @Planet images below show before and after. There has been at least one fatality. 70% of the houses in Andavilque have been destroyed.

The 11 May 2024 tailings failure at Siana in the Philippines On 11 May 2024 a major tailings storage facility failure occurred at Siana in Surigao del Norte, Philippines

On 11 May 2024, a major #tailings storage facility (TSF) landslide occurred at Siana in Surigao del Norte, Philippines.
I've put together an initial analysis:- eos.org/thelandslide...
This appears to be a failure in an old, inactive TSF, although the mine itself has reopened recently. #Mining
