The tailings at Gango contain substantial amount of gold with 7.37 g/t and 7.38 g/t at the surface and at 1m deep, respectively. Empirical data revealed that thiosulfate is a good lixiviant rivaling cyanide in leaching gold from the tailings.
Mine tailings: Waste not, want not
Mine tailings: Waste not, want not. Traditionally considered 'waste', tailings are just one of a number of by-products generated by the mining industry which are now being assessed for their economic value. For the uninitiated, tailings are created as ore is crushed, ground and treated to extract the valuable metals or minerals within.
Tailings of two cities: Juneau and Treadwell
After the mine tunnels caved and flooded 100 years ago, the town of Treadwell never recovered. The Alaska-Juneau Mine opened in 1897. By its close in 1944 due to manpower shortages, it had produced …

As gold mining is an expensive exercise, opportunities for low-cost gold production need to be found, which is spurring the retreatment of tailings, says State-owned Mintek's Minerals Processing ...
Tailings Storage Facilities | Sustainability | Gold Fields
Tailings differ from overburden: the waste rock or material that overlies an ore or mineral body and is displaced unprocessed and stockpiled separately (or co-disposed with tailings) during mining.
Arctic mines face thawing permafrost disaster
As the big thaw continues, more and more mines are likely to see water inundation and issues with their tailing's dams.
