Mining tailings' undrained strength (Su) is a relevant design parameter for tailings storage dams. One way to obtain Su, independent of sample extraction and along the depth, is to carry out ...

The first step in producing aluminium is mining this ore. Bauxite occurs mainly in tropical and sub-tropical areas, like Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Australia. Australia is one of the world's largest producers of bauxite, with five large mines supplying around 30 per cent of global production. Bauxite mining has five steps:

Prime Minister Hinds officially welcomed the Chinese firm, BOSAI Minerals, to the local mining sector, having acquired 70 percent shares in Omai Bauxite Mining Inc.
