Mine Tailing Management: A Proactive Approach to Risk and Resilience

From standards to resilience — build safer, smarter, and sustainable tailings facilities for the future.

Tailings facilities are among the most critical — and riskiest — elements of mining projects. Recent catastrophic failures like Mt. Polley and Brumadinho have shown the cost of outdated training: lives lost, communities disrupted, billions in damage, and reputations destroyed.

NEXGROW’s mission is to close this knowledge gap. This course equips engineers, managers, and decision-makers with the skills to move from compliance to resilience, ensuring tailings are managed with safety, sustainability, and dignity at the forefront.

📘 Translate global standards (GISTM, regulations) into practical site-level action.

🎯 Apply risk-informed and performance-based design under uncertainty.

📡 Leverage technology — AI, sensors, and remote monitoring.

🌍 Build resilient strategies for closure and community trust.

🎓 Earn a certificate of completion to prove your skills.

This 4-module program delivers a practical, scenario-driven approach to tailings management. Designed for mining engineers, geotechnical professionals, and decision-makers, it bridges the gap between international standards and on-the-ground execution.

Through case studies, expert insights, and real-world scenarios, participants will learn how to design, monitor, and manage tailings facilities that stand up to technical, environmental, and social challenges.

By the end of the course, you will:

Confidently apply GISTM and regulatory frameworks.
Develop monitoring and design strategies that address uncertainty.
Use technology and TARPs to respond to risk in real-time.
Design closure and post-closure plans that protect communities and the environment.
