Abstract: The results of Chilean copper tailings characterisation under the TTD/Robinsky methodology are presented. 
These results are drawn onto five cases in order to obtain a hydraulic balance of the deposits; and they are 
compared to a typical case of a conventional tailings dam. From the point of view of the increase of water 
recovery, this paper concludes that characterisation studies carried out under the thickened tailings disposal 
(TTD) methodology make it possible to evaluate — at a pre-feasibility level — the convenience of 
discharging tailings with this method.
