A Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) is an engineered structure designed to store waste materials, commonly referred to as tailings, generated during the mining process, particularly in the extraction of minerals such as metals (e.g., gold, copper, nickel) from ore. Tailings primarily consist of finely ground rock particles, water, and various chemicals used in the extraction process.
