Examples

This article is rather important and really needs expansion. Example mines from different mineral types should be cited to give a world wide perspective and span various minerals Suisun 01:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC) suisun[reply]

Gangue

The use of the word gangue to describe tailings is inaccurate. Gangue is the worthless fraction of an ore, the stuff you don't want. Gangue can be removed at many stages, for example when excavating the ore the gangue can be directed to a waste dump, if separation is possible at that stage. Gangue as a term has particular application in pyrometalurgy and pyrochemistry. Gangue deserves an entry on it's own. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.37.172.162 (talk) 15:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Sections

I just correctly formatted the tailings disposal methods. -- Autumninjersey 17:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A bit uneven?

It seems that parts of this article are very pro mining. They minimize the impact of tailings. I would like to change, but know nothing about the subject on hand here. 212.76.241.182 (talk) 23:52, 11 December 2008 (UTC)Hicham Vanborm[reply]

I would say extremely so.
