Mass Movement in the Waste Dump of High-Altitude …
The movement of waste rocks dumps together with ice, stored on the glaciers of the high-altitude Kumtor gold mine is reviewed in this paper. This mining site is located in the central part of the Tien Shan (Kyrgyzstan). There are no other cases around the world, when the waste rocks and removed ice were stored on the active mountain glaciers.

Gold mining has serious negative environmental impacts, especially due to pollution emanating from tailings storage facilities (TSFs, tailings dams, slimes dams). The most important forms of pollution from TSFs are acid mine drainage (AMD) and high levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). AMD arises from the high levels of pyrite in the …
