  2. CBPM CUPRUM The general designer and researcher of LGOM copper basin

  3. TECHNOLOGICAL CHAIN Waste disposal Mining Processing

  4. SALES VOLUME

  5. Owner structure of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (as at 12 January 2001)

  6. 2000 Copper Sales - Markets

  7. 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

  8. Tailings ponds

  9. Localisation of tailings ponds

  10. „Żelazny Most” tailings pond

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. KGHM Polish Copper S.A. /CBPM CUPRUM Polish Academy of Science, Kraków POLISHPARTICIPANTS

  15. 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

  16. START MARCH 2000

  17. CLOTADAM G1RD-CT-2001-00480 Chemically Stabilised Layers KGHM PM S.A. CBPM CUPRUM

  18. Chemically Stabilised Layers Through forming chemically stabilised layers with properly selected lifi-time to help in faster, more effective and more environment- friendly closing tailings pond GENERAL TARGET

  20. Frame Scope of Work • Updating of the existing database • Preliminary selection of chemicals and additives • Elaboration of agents and methods for their application, including local additives • Laboratory research on application conditions and effectiveness of selected agents • Pilot tests • Technical-economic assesment • Elaboration technology for industrial application

  21. START SEPTEMBER 2001
