CIM 2020: Tailings, Waste Rock, and Water Management – What is all the Fuss About?
Date: December 10, 2-3pm EST
Tailings, waste rock and water are by-products of the mining industry. They have little or no economic interest. However, the extraction of mineral resources generates large quantities of these materials, and variable techniques of storing them need to be developed. Important risks are associated with the management of these substances in the long term. If wrongly assessed, the risk factors could lead to incidents with catastrophic consequences. Recent examples of design and management give an insight to this engineering domain in fast development. Mrs. Kissiova holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Civil Engineering from the UACG in Sofia (Bulgaria) and a master’s degree in Tailings Management Engineering from the Polytechnique Montreal. Mrs. Kissiova has over 25 years of experience in engineering, design, construction and operation of tailings and water management facilities. Prior to joining Osisko Gold Royalties in 2018, Mrs. Kissiova was Principal in Tailings Management with Golder Associates Ltd. She was an active Engineer of Record for a number of mining properties in Northern Quebec and Lead Tailings Management Design Engineer for various projects in Canada, including Canadian Malartic and Laronde Mine amongst others, as well as internationally for Iamgold and Dundee precious metals properties. Mrs. Kissiova is committed to promoting a better understanding and control of the risk factors related to tailings and waste management through adopting best design, and management practices capitalizing on the lessons learnt.
