Geomorphological reclamation is a technique used to recreate the form and function of natural landscapes. By mimicking the surrounding terrain, it helps establish long-term stable landforms and reduce visual impact. It also serves to lower sediment loads caused by erosion. This approach supports more effective restoration efforts and facilitates the recovery of natural ecosystems after mining activities have ceased.
Viscaria will apply geomorphological design in the layout of its waste rock deposition and subsequent ecological reclamation. Here, we outline how the design of the northern and southern waste rock dumps at Viscaria will be developed.
