Kinross Paracatu recently welcomed a delegation of journalists and government officials – including the Deputy Mayor of Paracatu– to the mine to visit the tailings facilities.
The purpose of the visit was to share Kinross’ transparent and best-in-class approach to safe and responsible tailings management which prioritizes protecting our workforce, the environment and host communities.
During the visit the delegation received a tour of the geotechnical monitoring centre which is staffed 24/7/365 by employees who ensure there are no disruptions to the day-to-day activity of the facility. The delegation then visited the tailings facility itself and participated in one of the daily in-person technical inspections to gain a better understanding of the comprehensive monitoring tasks performed each day to ensure the safety and stability of the facility.
