	Abstract - J. Meldrum
		Acid-generating sulphidic tailings from a Ni-Cu mine were exposed on the shores of Hudson Bay for 30 years before burial in a drained bedrock basin.
		Results of the column experiments indicate that significant oxidation of the Rankin Inlet tailings occurs at 30°C but at lower temperatures this rate is substantially reduced.
		Thermal modeling and direct measurements have shown that the freezing of the tailings in Rankin Inlet is progressing.
