Investigation
into the suitability of tailings media for direct revegetation, Pajingo gold
mine, north Queensland
The objective of this preliminary study was to determine whether the
tailings at the Pajingo operation were a suitable substrate for the direct
establishment of local native tree, shrub and grass species. The chemical
and physical properties of the material were characterised and limitations
for seedling emergence and growth identified. Glasshouse experiments were
commenced to ascertain the nutritional requirements of the target species
and any potential issues related to heavy metals.
