TECHNOLOGICAL CHAIN Waste disposal Mining Processing
Owner structure of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (as at 12 January 2001)
Copper Resources Industrial resources • 781.087 mln tonnes of ore • depth up to 1250 m • average content Cu 2,12 % • average content Ag 56 g/t • Anticipated exploitation period 20-25 years with current production volumes
TAILINGS PONDSENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS • Huge scale of the pond • Dusting • Contamination of surface and underground water with salt and heavy metals in the local drainage basin • Increasing heavy metal contents in soil and plants surrounding the tailing plant • Contamination of Odra river by technological water
LICYMIN G1RD-CT-2000-00162 LIFECYCLE ASSESSMENT OF MINING PROJECTS FOR WASTE MINIMISATION AND LONG TERM CONTROL OF REHABILITATED SITES KGHM PM S.A. CBPM CUPRUM
Life cycle assessment of mining projects for waste minimisation and long term control of rehabilitated sites The main objective of this project is to develop and validate a metodology to minimise the „full life-cycle” impact of metalliferous mining projects, adopting an integrated approach to production and process design, including waste disposal, remediation and the costs involved GENERAL TARGET
KGHM Polish Copper S.A. /CBPM CUPRUM Polish Academy of Science, Kraków POLISHPARTICIPANTS
Frame Scope of Work • Updating of the existing database • Conceptual LCA modelling of the production and processing and financial modelling of these options • Mining and processing alternatives will aim at developing methodologies to improve recovery, minimise waste production and ensure safe, low risk disposal • Environmental monitoring and long term control of the impacts of the mining activities
