During Downstream or Centreline Cyclone Deposition:

•Underflow is directed to a Deposition Embankment.

•Overflow is deposited upstream of the embankment, in the tailings storage facility basin.

Deposition Vectors either:

•Move up the embankment upstream face (downstream); or are

•Raised vertically (centreline).

During a deposition model run:

•Deposition Embankments are generated prior to tailings deposition commencing.

•Deposition Embankments are merged into the deposition surface.

•Deposition Embankment fill volumes are calculated:

oUnderflow is directed to the Deposition Embankment while it has capacity; thereafter underflow is directed to the tailings storage facility basin.

oOverflow is directed to the tailings storage facility basin.

To specify Downstream Cyclone Deposition:

•Set Downstream Cyclone Deposition Parameters on the Material Data Sheet:

oCheck the Cyclone Deposition Box.

oCheck the Material Deposited in Embankment Box.

oEnter the Cyclone Underflow Material Dry Density.

oEnter the Underflow Percentage (percent tonnage).

•Specify downstream or centreline deposition on the Deposition Line Data Sheet:

oDownstream Deposition: Specify the opposite Deposition Direction to the Vector Direction:

▪Deposition Direction Left of Line and Vector Direction Right of Line; or

▪Deposition Direction Right of Line and Vector Direction Left of Line.

oFor Centreline Deposition:

▪Specify the Deposition Direction, either Left of Line or Right of Line.

▪Specify the Vector Direction as On the Boundary (Vertical).

•Define the Deposition Embankment.
