“…The tailings of the closed Missima DSTP in Papua New Guinea are confined by topography covering an area of 20 km 2 (Hughes et al, 2015). In the Senunu canyon (Indonesia), which receives the tailings from the Batu Hijau copper-gold mine, copper concentration was significantly higher only close to the discharge point, suggesting a localized impact and limited tailing dispersal (Angel et al, 2013). In Greenland, the influence area of the tailings from the former Black Angel Pb-Zn mine in Maarmoilik was estimated through measurements of lead and zinc values in mussels and seaweed.…”

“…For example, waste tailings from a uranium-molybdenum mine produced an exceptionally high concentration of molybdenum, reaching a concentration of 6,550 mg/kg in soil (Stone & Stetler 2008). In Batu Hijau, Sumbawa, Indonesia, the copper-goldmolybdenum porphyry deposit has resulted in reduced fish populations and water pollution in the ocean (Angel et al 2013). Earlier research of the toxicity of molybdenum demonstrated that ruminants are the most sensitive to molybdenum.…”

“…In Indonesia, the mine tailings from the Batu Hijau, Sumbawa, copper, gold and molybdenum mine are dumped into the ocean with an annual amount close to several million tonnes. The sea is gradually polluted resulting in a reported reduction in fish populations (ANGEL et al, 2013).…”
