Processed Kimberlite Tailings Reclamation Research Program 2003 Annual Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, December 2003)
This 2003 annual report documents four years of revegetation research on processed kimberlite tailings at the EKATI Diamond Mine's Long Lake Containment Facility (LLCF). The studies evaluate soil amendments, seeding strategies, and native plant establishment methods to determine whether vegetative cover is viable for reclaiming the facility instead of the originally proposed rock cover.
