Processed Kimberlite Tailings Reclamation Research Program, Ekati Diamond Mine, 2000 Annual Report (BHP Billiton, December 2000)
This annual report documents the Processed Kimberlite Tailings Reclamation Research Program for 2000 at the Ekati Diamond Mine, presenting first-year results from three field studies (Soil Amendment, Revegetation, and Species Trials) designed to develop effective revegetation techniques for processed kimberlite tailings disposal cells. The studies evaluate soil amendments, seed treatments, and plant species suitability to determine whether vegetative cover or rock cover is appropriate for long-term tailings stabilization.
