Abstract

The question of whether tailings dumps are or could be sustainable is somewhat unanswered within the sphere of sustainable mining. The literature is abundant concerning the negative impacts of tailings upon the local environment–human system and wider. However, the literature is equally numerous concerning the unique ecological habitats that can develop, and resultant recreational and job opportunities within the tourism and leisure industry. Therefore, whether tailings dumps could be a sustainable entity, is important to answer.
