Non acid generating tailings Tailings the sand and silt left over after metal extraction will be stored using the dry stack method This eliminates the need for tailings ponds and dams Due to the unique geology of the mineral deposit and the mining method we will use tailings will be non acid generating
Sampling in landscaped areas Cuttings should be placed on plastic sheeting and returned to the borehole upon completion of the sample collection Any turf plug generated during the sampling process shouldbe returned to the borehole Sampling in non landscaped areas Return any unused sample
Mn was the metal with the highest number of samples sites in non conformity 11 samples followed by Al and Fe 2 samples each The concentration of Mn was the highest at I10 1 63 mg/L which was 16 fold higher than the maximum permitted values 0 1 mg/L which represent a risk to the health of the population that consumes this groundwater
