Re-vegetation of unused open areas and seeding accessible areas of
tailings storage facilities with annual grasses
By: Dylan Slater 8th July 2016 Mine development and construction company Fraser Alexander has concluded a contract for platinum group metals (PGM) miner Tharisa Minerals to install and commission
a tailings storage facility at its Tharisa mine.
Wirlu - murra has signed a contract with Viento, also in joint venture with Eastern Guruma, to build
a tailings storage facility for the Solomon project.
I may add that these two companies (Lihir and Ramu Nickel) and its consultants have argued before the Court that, because the site is located in a seismically active and high rainfall zone with sharp topography, a conventional land - based
tailings storage facility (TSF) is too expensive and environmentally unsuitable.
