Quantifying Tailings Dam Risks at Mining Insurance & Risk Association

Generic technical literature on quantitative risk assessment for dams and levees exists starting with the US Corps of Engineers all the way to space applications at NASA. However, due to apparently excessive complication, the mining industry has been reticent to introduce quantitative risk assessment for tailings dams.  Today, ORE2_Tailings™ makes quantitative risk assessment accessible to mining companies in a sustainable and specific way. That is especially useful when large inventories (portfolios) are present and require sensible prioritization.

Recent reports document the scope of the challenge, like, for example:

In this context, the application of cutting-edge risk-assessment methodologies and risk-management practices can contribute to a significant reduction and virtual elimination of dam failures. The discussion focuses on identifying and describing the risk-assessment approaches and risk-management practices allowing to:

  • develop a reasonable way forward,
  • achieve sustainable socially and corporately acceptable levels of tailings dams’ risks and finally
  • enhance value by applying Risk Informed Decision Making

We will discuss the following topics:

  • Appropriate selection of operable KPIs.
  • Probabilistic approaches looking at the dam system and not “just the dam”.
  • Avoidance of Failure Mode-driven reality censoring (human factors and arbitrary credibility).
  • Avoidance of hasty shortcuts (e.g. using consequences only rating) and their misleading effects.
