Fate and transport of metals from an abandoned tailings impoundment after 70 years of sulfide oxidation / M. C. Moncur ... [et al.].: En13-5/03-163E-PDF

"Hydrogeological and geochemical studies of an abandoned high-sulfide tailings impoundment at Sherridon, Manitoba, were conducted during the summers of 2000 and 2001. The Sherridon tailings have undergone oxidation for more than 70 years. Mineralogical analysis indicates that the unoxidized tailings contain nearly equal proportions of pyrite and pyrrhotite that together make up to 60 wt.% of the tailings"--Abstract.
