Ok Tedi Mine - Dumping Waste
Dead rock and ore is removed by giant trucks, that load 150 tons in a haul,
shoveled across the edge into the valleys of Sulphide Creek/Ok Mabiong
to the north, or into Ok Mani to the south. Because of heavy rainfall,
the creeks and rivers are powerful enough, to transport even coarse material
downstream - 120,000 tons a day.
