Mining and minerals processing waste management refers to the strategies and practices employed to handle and dispose of waste generated during mining and minerals processing operations. These wastes include tailings, waste rock, slags, and other by-products of mineral extraction and processing.

Mining and minerals processing companies should aim to minimize waste generation through process optimization, recycling and reuse initiatives, and adopting cleaner production technologies. Implementing source control measures, such as proper handling and segregation of waste materials, can also help reduce waste volumes and potential environmental impacts. Mining and minerals processing waste can generate leachates or runoff containing contaminants that can potentially impact water quality. Effective leachate management systems, such as liners, collection systems, and treatment processes, should be implemented to prevent leachate migration and mitigate any potential environmental risks.

Mining and minerals processing waste management is subject to legal and regulatory requirements. Companies must comply with applicable environmental regulations regarding waste disposal, monitoring, reporting, and closure obligations. Regular monitoring, reporting, and audits are necessary to ensure compliance and maintain a social license to operate.
