RGS has been working with Deswik at Mount Isa Mine to undertake a range of environmental studies relating to rehabilitation and mine closure. Case study one looks at developing 3D geological models of the regolith and using this model within Deswik.CAD and Deswik.LHS to schedule the movement of material for rehabilitation of the MIM TSF as one of a number of rehabilitation options. Case study two shows how Deswik can be used to evaluate hydrological and geological aspects of the mine and how this information can be used for environmental evaluation.
