Waste management in mining refers to the processes and practices involved in handling, managing, and mitigating the environmental impacts of waste generated during mining operations. Mining activities can produce various types of waste, including overburden (the soil and rock removed to access mineral deposits), tailings (the finely ground rock and water mixture left after mineral extraction), and waste rock (non-mineralized rock extracted alongside ore). Effective waste management is essential to minimize the environmental footprint of mining activities and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
