4.3.5. Deposition Volumes

Tailings deposition into the Upper Mundic Gully TSF was modelled using Muck3D to estimate the

maximum available tailings storage and to develop the construction staging of the embankment. The

estimated volumes for the two embankment stages are presented in Table 28 including sufficient

storage to contain the PMP runoff.
