About Tailings Fact Sheet
What are tAILingS. Put simply, tailings are ground up rock minus the gold. Rocks mined from underground which contain gold are called ore. Processing involves crushing the ore into sand to liberate and recover the gold. What's left over is called tailings. Approximately 95% of the tailings are generated from gravity separation methods, which ...
