Ann: Mulga Tank Mineralogy Highlights Carbon Capture Potential, page-22

Ultimately, the big potential for tailings and carbon capture will come from future mines being designed now, like Baptiste, says Turenne.

“The engineering challenge going forward is to think about a mine operating at a very high scale – how do you engineer around a real-world tailings facility to try and maximize that CO2 exposure to the surface of the brucite,” Turenne says. “One of the advantages of having an exploration/development stage project is trying to find clever ways to do that will form part of our engineering plans and tradeoff studies so that we can build it into the project plan from Day 1.”
