Mine tailings: reprocess, recover & recycle
Yes, that number would need to be offset against the capital cost of new equipment if required, higher processing costs etc. but, given that average ore grades are declining and operating costs are rising, there are now some cases where the reprocessing of tailings works out cheaper than processing material.
