Waste storage areas where economically unviable rocks generated during mining activities are stored. Ore extraction during mining operations often yields uneconomical rocks alongside valuable ores. These uneconomical rocks may not always require controlled and regulated storage areas but can sometimes be considered waste depending on the chemicals or minerals they contain.
Waste rocks typically consist of non-metallic minerals found within ores and are often in the form of soil or rock. Waste storage areas are essential for mining operations as they constitute part of the waste management processes necessary for the sustainability of mining activities.
