By Timothy J. Killeen Although new mines use state-of-the-art technology, the industry also has a legacy of ageing containment dams at older mines, particularly shuttered mines that no longer generate revenues to finance improvements in the technology surrounding tailings storage facilities (TSF). Their failure can result in the release of millions of cubic metres of toxic sludge into river systems.
