Controlmines project figure

Overview of "La aguzadera" and "Embalse de Gossan" tailings dams at Riotinto Mines (site scale) and detailed view of the northwest dam (detailed scale).

  • The figure represents the working scales of the project.
  • We selected this image to highlight the enormous extent of the waste facilities at Minas Riotinto.
  • The figure was created by the project team based on a (latest update) PNOA image taken in June 2022 and a PNOA digital terrain model (5 m resolution) corresponding to the year 2015.
