Waste Rock & Ore Storage Management Plan and Wastewater & Processed Kimberlite Management Plan, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, February 2000)
This document is the Waste Rock and Ore Storage Management Plan for the Ekati Diamond Mine, detailing the characterization, geochemical testing, and management strategies for mine waste rock, ore storage, and drainage from four kimberlite pipes (Panda, Koala, Misery, and Fox) scheduled for sequential mining between 1997 and 2014. The plan includes rock type geology, results of geochemical testing, water quality predictions, waste management strategies, and monitoring protocols required under the Type A Water Licence.
