Lanmuchang mine tailings (upslope of a sealed adit)
Guizhou, Lanmuchang, China
Mine tailings and waste rock
- Type
- Mine tailings and waste rock
Tailings sampled upslope of a sealed mine adit, used as the tailings end-member of the Luchengjiang soil mixing model (Lu et al., 2026). Heavier than the deposit lorandite (-1.65); tailings studied near the mining zone by Yuan et al. (2024) ranged from -0.56 to +2.41 and mine wastes of Liu et al. (2024) reached +2.95. Indicative coordinates of the deposit.
