The Standard is further informed by existing best practice and findings from past tailings facility failures. In addition, the Standard underwent a public consultation and commenting period.
The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, which is the outcome of the Global Tailings Review process, is an important milestone towards the ambition of zero harm to people and the environment from tailings facilities.
