Tailings

Up to Glossary

This Definition applies to: Any version.

Tailings, also called gangue, are the rejected material from mining and screening operations. Tailings are the uneconomic remainders from mining; as mining techniques and the price of minerals improve it is not unusual for tailings to be reprocessed using new methods or more thoroughly with old methods, perhaps to recover minerals other than those originally mined. en.wikipedia.org
