technology
As part of Goldcorps Towards Zero Water (H2Zero)
initiative which aims to reduce fresh water consumption
and eliminate conventional slurry tailings, the company
has begun testing a new mine-waste management
technology called EcoTails

Goldcorp Inc. H2(Zero)
Mine-waste management technology called EcoTails

The brainchild of Simon Hille, VP of metallurgy and

process, and Mike Jacobs, director of water and tailings
at Goldcorp, EcoTails is a new way of thinking about
mine waste management and water conservation. It
blends filtered tailings with waste rock in transit
creating a geotechnically stable product called
GeoWaste, and eliminates the need to keep
conventional slurry tailings contained in a dam and
submerged in water.

 In the GeoWaste, tailings fill the void spaces between
waste-rock particles, reducing the opportunity for
oxygen flow. When the coarse waste-rock particles and
the finer, filtered tailings particles co-mingle, the overall
product has improved shear strength and better
physical stability, which facilitates mine reclamation.

 The results include the elimination of a tailings dam,
lower fresh water use, reduced acid rock-drainage, a
smaller mine footprint, and less overall risk.
Co-mingling has been around for a while, explained
Hille. However, the traditional way of mixing is labour
intensive and complex, using multiple mobile machines.
Now were blending on a conveyance system to harness
efficiency of mass material movement. EcoTails sets us
up to fundamentally change how we operate in the
future, not just for Goldcorp, but for all large-scale
operations.

 EcoTails could also offer lower overall costs. Goldcorp
envisions scaling-up the technology to make it cost-
competitive against the industry standard and at high
volumes. Doing so will require processing equipment
that is up to 375% larger than what is currently on the
market to lower operating costs and streamline
maintenance.
Hille is currently overseeing a proof-of-concept study at
the Peasquito mine that will be completed this
summer. A full-scale prototype is next, and depending
on the results, the possible deployment at the mine.
