Decisions on tailings alternatives are not merely technical; they are structured decision problems involving risk, weighting, sensitivity, regulation, and planning horizons.
Choosing among tailings alternatives is not merely a technical challenge; it is a structured decision involving risk, criteria weighting, sensitivity, regulation, and planning horizons. Data Riders structured this problem into a formal multi-criteria decision process applied to the long-term planning of mining operations.
