Weathering and transport of potentially acid generating material (PAGM) at abandoned mines can degrade downstream environments contaminate water resources. Monitoring the thousands mine lands (AMLs) for exposed PAGM using field surveys is time intensive. Here, we explore use Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPASs) as a complementary remote sensing platform to map spatial temporal changes across...

Mining waste are materials that result from the exploration, mining and processing of substances can consist natural materials, processed to varying degrees during ore-processing enrichment phases, possibly containing chemical, inorganic organic additives. Evaluation REEs potential Klein Letaba tailings dam was envisaged assist in containment at currently un-rehabilitated mine material. These a...
