Abstract Coal mine waste rock is generated dur-ing coal extraction and is usually disposed of in non-engineered dumps. The dumps are extended vertically to 100–120 m height to reduce the spatial footprint. The waste mass generally consists of loose, cohe-sionless material associated with high heterogeneity, so the dumps are prone to slope ...

Mining is very vital to the production of goods, services and infrastructure; it advances the quality of lives in the society. However, the possible hazard of waste and radioactivity generated by mining, dumping and tailing, has called on the society to find ways of seeking remedy that will adequately treat mining waste from mine dump, tailing and …

The right of a mining company to mine dumps it has created, has been discussed by Heleen van Niekerk in a previous MLiA contribution. The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA) previously did not regulate mine dumps, allowing such dumps to be mined without acquiring a mining right in terms of the MPRDA. This lacuna ...

Coal mining generally produces very high volumes of waste. In underground coal mining, these waste dumps are often located in areas of shortest hauling distance from mine openings. These dumps are the active sources of environmental impacts that can endanger and/or threaten both ecological and social systems in a region.
Deep shaft gold mining and associated mine dumps across the 80-kilometer mining belt altered the topography, hydrology and ecology. Toxic chemicals from mine dumps polluted groundwater and soils. Mining companies created numerous dams and reservoirs to prevent polluted water from entering the rivers. Rich neighborhoods were located north of the ...
