Abstract
The opportunity to examine the internal characteristics of two
waste rock piles through their full depth arose during the rehabilitation
activities at two mines sites. Waste rock dumps at both sites
were excavated and removed to open pits for permanent closure.
The sites are located within climatic and geologic regimes that
offer a striking contrast. The purpose of the study was to examine
the internal structure of the waste rock dumps and obtain observations
with respect to structure, geochemistry, fluid flow pathways,
weathering and other characteristics that may aid our understanding
of the long-term behaviour of suiphide bearing waste rock systems.
The research program was sponsored and directed by the International
Network for Acid Prevention (INAP), together with Rio Tinto Ltd.,
Inco Ltd., Placer Dome Inc., EGi (Environmental Geochemistry International
Pty Limited, Sydney, Australia), R & D Start (Graduate Program,
Australia), and NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada). The research activities were conducted jointly
between the Department of Mining and Mineral Process Engineering
at the University of British Columbia, Canada, the Department
of Civil Engineering at The University of Queensland, Australia,
and EGi. This paper describes the field characterization program
that was implemented at the sites, highlights the geochemical
and physical laboratory testing program, and presents the results
of numerical modelling undertaken to describe the flow system
within the two waste rock dumps. The specific details of the investigations
summarized here are described by Fines et al. (2003) and Tran
et al. (2003).
