Old Mine Tailings: New Mother Lode For Rare Elements

July 24, 2013 -- Prospectors say they have discovered a modern mother lode—not one buried deep within the earth, but sitting on the surface: the tailings of old mines, some dating back to California Gold Rush days. What these contain, though, isn't gold or silver. It's rare earth elements.

Mine Waste in the Eastern Adirondacks May be Untapped

"The possibility of accessing rare earth elements from mine waste and mill tailings is attractive partly because the minerals have already been excavated from the ground," said USGS scientist Ryan Taylor, who led analyses of rock samples from the region. "This would reduce mining costs by making it easier to access the minerals.

Mine Tailing

Mine tailings are the finely ground residue from ore extraction. The grain size of the tailings depends on the nature of the ore and the milling process. Size measurements (Robertson, 1994) of tailings from four mines in Ontario, Canada, indicated the tailings materials to be predominantly silt and fine to medium sand with <10% clay content.
