Rethinking tailings flowsheets: From early decisions to future readiness

Tailings management is no longer a downstream consideration — it is a strategic decision that influences project risk, water recovery, energy consumption, permitting pathways, and long-term mine value.

In this webinar, Weir’s tailings experts will explore how early flowsheet decisions can help mining companies evaluate trade-offs, reduce future constraints, and develop more resilient tailings management strategies.

Drawing on real project examples and emerging technologies, the session will examine how operators can:

•  Compare different tailings management approaches 
•  Align solutions with site-specific challenges 
•  Integrate tailings considerations earlier in project development 

Attendees will gain practical insights into the key factors driving flowsheet selection and learn how to make more informed decisions before critical design choices are locked in.

 

Key Takeaways

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

•  Understand why early tailings decisions matter 
•  Learn how to compare flowsheets using outcome-based criteria 
•  Explore emerging technologies and their applications 
•  Review real project examples and lessons learned 
•  Gain a practical framework for early-stage tailings evaluation and decision-making
