This is the tailings impoundment area for the Red Chris Mine and it is located in a Y shaped valley approximately 3.5 km northeast of the Red Chris ore deposit. Construction of three dams will be required at the south, north, and northeast arms of the valley. The tailings impoundment will provide storage for all process tailings generated by the project. The tailings will be conveyed from the plant site through pipelines to the tailings impoundment, where they will be discharged from the North and/or South Dam.
