TailingsTailings are the rejected material from mining and screening operations. Large-scale operations often leave huge piles of this material on site. Often, as in the case of riverbed metal extraction, this has buried valuable river-flat soils under the largely worthless and often contaminated tailings. Modern extraction methods have resulted in less damage but land rehabilitation continues to be a major problem and costly consideration.
