Klinck, B.A.; Hawkins, M.P.; Moore, Y.; Ngorima, C.; Kelm, U.; Palumbo, B.; Lee, J.-S.. 2002 The environmental impact of metalliferous mining : Korea, Chile and Zimbabwe case studies. Nottingham, UK, British Geological Survey, 57pp. (CR/02/190N) (Unpublished)

Abstract
This report provides some of the conceptual background to the MINDEC model, which was developed as part of DHD research project R7118: Cost effective evaluation of hazards from mine waste. The report is structured along the lines of the risk assessment paradigm of source - pathway - receptor. Reference is made to examples of sources, pathways and receptors studied during field visits to Chile and Zimbabwe and a risk assessment methodology is demonstrated using a Korean case study of abandoned gold mine tailings.
