In mining, tailings are the unwanted byproduct that affects the environment. But with the separation process called GravSep, acid forming mineral content of the tailings is reduced. The result: cleaner tailings.

Mining usually produces byproducts, called tailings, that are harmful to the environment. But with the physical separation process, which is GravSep, harmful substances in the tailings are significantly reduced.

Does eldora gold resources launches gravsep process set to rehabilitate tailings sites a success?

Eldora Gold anticipates, based on initial testing, that the auspicious debut (1/2 tonne per hour) of GravSep™ will result in not only the recovery of valued minerals, but also the rehabilitation of former tailings sites. Given the assembly of its portable equipment, Eldora intends to provide a dual benefit from the operation of GravSep™ units: by marketing the resultant concentrate into suitable channels and also providing a low-energy green solution to mining communities. The GravSep™ is designed to be scalable, and is suited for small deposits less than 300,000 tonnes that cannot support permanent high capital cost equipment installations. The anticipated advantages for Eldora's proprietary environmentally-friendly physical separation processing, which can be tailored to each specific deposit, now include potential for successful treatment and rehabilitation for many smaller size deposits using simple to maintain and operate equipment, as well as chemical-free processing. Pumping is the single major energy input, and it extracts and recovers valuable mineral concentrates which also have significant deleterious environmental effects when left in-situ. Yeah. It should be! With GravSep™ on site, Eldora will use a combination of physical separation processes to extract a concentrate from the first selected mill tailings site in Kirkland Lake, Canada. This concentrate will contain the majority of the recoverable metallic values in these former tailings, as well as the majority of the minerals responsible for the adverse environmental consequences of the original tailings disposal.
