W:O [W/O] ratio (waste to ore ratio) Explanation: I believe "tailings" are "jales" or "relaves", whereas "estériles" refers to waste (rock). WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WASTE ROCK AND TAILINGS Waste rock is bedrock that has been mined and transported out of the pit but does not have metal concentrations of economic interest. Tailings are the finely ground residuals that remain after the mill process has removed the valuable metals from the ore. http://backfortymine.com/2018/08/30/the-difference-between-w...
