Cases exist of injuries and fatalities from sudden ore pass discharges, the collapse and subsequent flow of unconsolidated or poorly consolidated backfill, and the failure of tailings and slimes dams. In September 1970, 89 miners were killed at the Mufulira mine in Zambia due to an inrush of 450,000 m3 of muck into the workings.

The overall dam composite sample is assayed for gold, sulphur and other elements of interest. Where a slime deposit interfaces with a sand deposit, the incremental samples, which contain both sand and slime, can be screened and the gold grade of both the sand and slime fractions determined.

Tailings Dam Construction Design. of slime is likely to slide and cause the dam to break away. The procedure usually adopted in such cases is to separate the tailing into coarse sand and fines in a classifier, and to use the coarse product to build up the wall ; the remainder of the pulp is discharged into the interior of the dam.

Gold-mining residues typically fall into one of three categories: slime (particle size of about 75% passing 74 μm), sand (about 10–20% passing 74 μm), and waste rock.Since the slime and sand have been previously processed, it typically has a low gold grade (<1.0 g/t) and will provide relatively low recovery efficiencies, in the order of 50%.

Cyanidation mills and some iron ore plants which have contaminants that cannot be released into streams without treatment generally use the water-dam type construction. Some phosphate plants also use this type of dam to impound slimes. Water-dam construction is very costly and does not permit the free drainage of slimes for ultimate disposition.
