The presentation to the SASA Eastern Cape Chapter as an invited guest at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University presents a prospective and retrospective optimal spatial sampling scheme using the spatial distribution of secondary iron-bearing oxides/hydroxides, to characterize a mine tailings area.enMinesSpatial sampling schemeGeochemicalsMine tailings areaMine wasteMetalsCopiapite abundanceJarosite abundanceGoethite abundanceFerrihydrite abundanceHematite abundanceKaolinite abundanceConference PresentationDebba, P.
