Mining Tailings

One of the biggest ESG risks in the mining industry is now a controlled input material.

Problem / Context

Ore tailings are the remnants left after the extraction of valuable minerals, usually stored in reservoirs (tailings dams).

The tailings dam collapse caused environmental and human disasters, making it one of the most pressing ESG issues in the global mining industry.

Market size

Market size

  • The mining industry releases billions of tons of tailings every year.
  • Pressure from investors and ESG regulations is forcing mining companies to seek solutions.
  • Opportunities to collaborate with major mining corporations (partners such as EGA, TATA)

Technical

Technical specifications

  • The composition depends on the type of ore (copper, iron, gold, bauxite, etc.).
  • Spherical, smooth particles — easy to shape, high flexibility.
  • May contain heavy metals and mineral processing chemicals.

ProtectGD Solution
