Webinar is a free of charge closing event for the MinerAll project: Mine Tailing Productization and Utilization Enhancement With Automated Mineralogy.
Aiming to improve the valorization of mining waste into valuable resources
Mining waste is a major environmental issue, and the mining sector has the responsibility to actively mitigate its impact through circular practices and innovative waste management strategies. Minimizing waste generation from the start is more effective than managing it afterwards, which is essential for reducing risks and ensuring long-term environmental stability.
This webinar highlights the importance of the process design phase, demonstrating how GTK Mintec has been improving its ability to identify and utilize circular opportunities in mining waste management.
