en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 5, 2026, the Chilean Mining Council launched a new version of its Tailings Platform. This public portal consolidates data on the active tailings storage facilities of its member companies, with the updated platform aiming to continuously strengthen information transparency and citizen access to relevant information. Tailings management is a critical aspect of mining operations, and the platform provides systematic data support on this issue.
The new version of the Tailings Platform includes updated information as of December 2025, enabling the tracking of key tailings management variables such as operational status, risk classification, capacity, permits, water management, emergency and closure plans, as well as facility inspection and monitoring information. The platform also integrates spatial visualization capabilities for tailings storage facilities and provides audiovisual resources to help understand the definition of tailings, different types of tailings storage facilities, and Chile's regulatory framework.
"This update reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency and continuous improvement. Having up-to-date and publicly available information strengthens trust and demonstrates how our member companies manage their tailings storage facilities to high standards," said Karla Lorenzo, Committee Manager of the Chilean Mining Council. The Council reaffirmed its adherence to the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, jointly promoted by the International Council on Mining and Metals, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the Principles for Responsible Investment. This international standard advocates for the integration of social, environmental, technical, and economic criteria throughout the entire lifecycle of tailings management.
