Geochemical Characterization and Reactive Transport Simulation of Metal Leaching and Acid Generation in Waste Rock from the Ekati Diamond Mine, NT
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5492. The objective of this project is to characterize the geochemical evolution of the waste-rock contained in Pigeon waste-rock storage area to refine management solutions for this waste stream. The proposed research activities will involve field collection of Pigeon waste-rock samples and installation of monitoring eq...

GMOB: Remediation Strategies for the Long-term Management of Arsenic-trioxide-bearing Roaster Wastes at the Giant Mine, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4862. The overall goals of the four projects proposed within Phase 1 are to provide an enhanced understanding of the physical and geochemical properties of the roaster waste; and, to screen for potentially viable remediation alternatives that may warrant additional research (e.g., long-term laboratory experiments, pilot-sca...

Geochemical Characterization and Reactive Transport Simulation of Metal Leaching and Acid Generation in Waste Rock from the Ekati Diamond Mine, NT
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4769. The objectives of this project are to provide critical insights into the potential long-term water quality impacts that may arise from waste-rock weathering; to develop scaling relationships to predict contaminant release, transport, and attenuation in the field; and to inform closure-cover design to mitigate the gene...

Waste rock studies at a diamond mine site
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2005
Summary: This research study is designed to investigate the processes related to water quality and quantity (collected at different scales) draining from country rock stockpiles that are located in areas of continuous permafrost. The quality of water draining from a country rock stockpile is determined by the combined effects of oxygen transport in the air phase, biogeochemical processes that control miner...
