Transforming Tailings in Mining

At an average copper mine, 99% of mined rock ends up in the tailings stream. Mining produces a staggering 19 billion cubic meters of tailings each year – the biggest waste stream on the planet. Watch Weir Minerals VP of Technology, John McNulty, describe some of the ways in which our market leading solutions such as Terraflowing are helping to better deal with tailings - using less energy, less water and creating less waste. This video was first shown at Weir's December 2022 Capital Markets Event.
