In 1999 the ACG initiated the series of international seminars on paste and thickened tailings. This influential and respected annual
event continues to provide a valuable forum for international tailings and mine waste practitioners to explore, learn and share
advances in paste and thickened tailings and, increasingly important, water conservation and environmental stewardship.
The ACG team looks forward to welcoming many previous seminar attendees and those interested to learn more about mine waste
management to the 18th International Seminar on Paste and Thickened Tailings.

PASTE 2015 SITE VISIT: CHINOVA RESOURCES PTY LTD OSBORNE MINE
8 May 2015
Osborne Mine is located in Northern Queensland, approximately 1,000 km inland from the eastern
coast. It commenced operations in 1995 with the development of an open pit mine and in 1996
transitioned to underground mining. In 2015, Osborne will have been in operation for 20 years and
will have mined 29 Mt of ore. The site has produced 672, 420 t of copper and 673,295 oz of gold.
Osborne Mine produces about 112,000 t of tailings per month. In 2003, following progressive
evaluation and development of a high density discharge tailings management system, Osborne
implemented the first of two trial depositions forming advancing cones of deposited tailings within
their TSF2 site. These trials proved successful and, following successful permit applications to the
regulators, TSF2 was converted to high density thickened tailings discharge. The principle benefit
of this change was in the reduction of construction costs for confining embankments. However, an
additional major benefit lay in a reduction of make-up water volumes. The majority of water loss
in the process water circuit occurs in the tailings system, as a result of evaporation. High density
thickened discharge (HDT) provides a means for significantly reducing water losses, since, by
recovering and reusing more water at the thickener and in the plant, less water is discharged onto
the TSF – thus less water available for evaporation. HDT also enabled a significant improvement in
operating costs.
HDT is continuously modified and adjusted as ore from satellite mines has been brought in to
supplement the diminishing Osborne Mine ore. Mineralogical influences of the supplementary ore
significantly affected the thickening and beaching characteristics of the tailings slurry, particularly in
the most recent operating period. However, through appropriate modifications and adjustments the
benefits of high density thickened discharge have been retained.
The resulting TSF landform is that of a shallow-sloped shedding mound so that there is no need to
retain water on the TSF. Chinova has been proactive with ongoing site monitoring and rehabilitation
with a view to shedding runoff to the environment. Their site plans include ensuring that the
discharge water from the site will meet the stock-water guidelines and that the erosion gullies
forming in TSF cover materials, or on the side slopes of confining embankments, will not result in
exposure of the tailings over 500 years.
Please contact the ACG for site visit details.

Rheology Fundamentals for Slurries and Pastes Short Course
3 May 2015 | Pullman Cairns International Hotel | Australia
“Integral to process plant design is identification of the slurry system
operating window that allows increased throughput while decreasing
capital and operating costs. For any system involving thickening or paste
production, understanding the material rheological characteristics is
prerequisite to identifying this window and successful, optimal and
reliable operation.”
PROGRAMME*
08:00
Registration
08:30
How do we define a slurry/paste
• Solids concentration
• Density
• Particle size distribution (PSD)
• Particle morphology (shape)
• Mineralogy/surface chemistry
10:00
Morning break
10:30
Slurry rheology/flow properties
• Explanation of the following flow properties and an overview
of what they mean in the ‘real’ world
>> Yield stress
>> Viscosity
>> Shear rate dependence
>> Time dependence
• The effect of solids concentration, PSD, morphology on the
flow characteristics of slurries
ABOUT THE COURSE
An understanding of slurry and paste rheology or fluid flow,
dewatering including thickening and filtration and surface chemistry/
rheology interrelationships, is fundamental to slurry system design,
operation and risk management.
Although the situation has improved over recent years, investment
into understanding slurry fundamentals is still often insufficient to
mitigate against the risk of under or over design and poor operating
performance.
The course will focus on identifying what information is required, how
to interpret measured data and how to apply to new system design
and existing operations.
Slurry rheology measurement
• Yield stress measurement
>> The vane method
>> The slump test
• Shear stress – shear rate (flow curve and viscosity)
measurement
>> Rotational methods including the ‘bucket’ rheometer
>> Capillary/pipeloop testing
• Laboratory versus pipeloop testing
• Data extrapolation
• Reading rheograms
Attendees will learn about slurry physical and chemical properties,
how flow properties or rheology are measured and how to
meaningfully interpret rheological data for viscosity, yield stress, time
dependence and dewatering information.
The course will outline how to apply rheology and surface chemistry
for pipeline transport and thickening equipment selection and optimal
control and operation.

An Introduction to the Design of High Density Tailings Disposal
Pipelines Short Course 4 May 2015 | Pullman Cairns International Hotel | Australia
ABOUT THE COURSE
The objective of the course is to provide attendees with an overview of the broad design principles of high concentration slurry pipelines used for
the disposal of paste and thickened tailings.
The course includes a brief overview of the hydraulic design of pump and pipeline systems by considering the interaction of the pipeline system
and pump performance curves when pumping water. This provides the basis for understanding the differences between Newtonian and
non-Newtonian pipeline systems. The concept of rheology and its importance in pump and pipeline design will be discussed, and the
implications of pumping viscous slurries on equipment selection will be presented.
On completion of the course, delegates will have an appreciation of the requirements for the design of high density tailings slurry pipelines.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The course is aimed at mining professionals who have limited exposure to the design of slurry pipelines and wish to obtain further understanding
of the basic design principles required for high density pumping systems.

Mine Backfill System Design, Operation and Management Short Course
4 May 2015 | Pullman Cairns International Hotel | Australia
ABOUT THE COURSE
TARGET AUDIENCE
Backfill is seldom recognised as a critical part of the mining cycle until it is too late. Poor
design, inadequate comprehension of the materials, or under-sizing of the entire system
can lead to unreliable fill delivery, or worse – no backfill placement at all.
The course is aimed at mining professionals who have limited
exposure to the design of paste backfill systems, or may be
operating a system now and wish to obtain further understanding of
the basic design principles.
A sound understanding of the material properties and proven design fundamentals
ensure a mine’s backfill system will be reliable and cost-effective. This course will briefly
touch on backfill methods, and then focus on paste fill and the important relationships
between system design, operation and management.
The course objective is to provide participants with an overview of the fundamentals to
be considered when effectively sizing, designing and operating mine paste fill systems.
On completion of the course, delegates will have an appreciation of a best practice
operation and the design and operational requirements of a safe and reliable paste
backfill system.
