Analysis of the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) members’ 2025 disclosures shows that implementing the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) is taking more time than initially anticipated. While significant progress has been made, achieving full alignment with GISTM remains a work in progress. ICMM recently published its Tailings Progress Report, which […]
Mining and metals advocacy group the ICMM has published its Tailings Progress Report, which sets out the progress its members have made in implementing the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM). Analysis of ICMM members’ 2025 disclosures shows that, while notable progress has been made, achieving full alignment with GISTM is taking more time than initially anticipated and remains a work in progress.
Nearly a year after commissioning, Pan African Resources’ Mogale tailings retreatment (MTR) operation, in Mogale City, is looking back on the success of the project, which has been critical to local community development and environmental mitigation. In 2022, Pan African acquired the asset from the liquidators of Mintails, and immediately embarked on the construction of the MTR, investing R2.5-billion to develop the plant that would ultimately process tailings from dumps.
Dam safety is a critical responsibility in mining, especially when dealing with tailings storage facilities (TSFs). This week’s Blog shows how real-time monitoring technology can be deployed to meet the GISTM framework, reduce risk, and streamline decision-making across the lifecycle of a TSF.
