Building better water balance models for tailings and mine rock stockpiles
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
-
In mining operations, seepage from tailings and mine rock stockpiles typically contribute a small percentage of the overall site wide water balance yet their effect on water quality is often disproportionate due to leaching of oxidized products as acid rock drainage. Most site-wide water balance models built for the permitting stage make simplified, empirical assumptions on the hydrology of these structures. This work will show-case some examples of physics-based models built in GoldSim. At the same time, it is critical to know why and when it makes sense to build physics-based models in GoldSim (and when not to).
