摘要：

The study focused on the dispersion of metals within and around the Louis Moore tailings dam. The work involved sampling and analysis of tailings, soil, grass and cow-dung. As, Ni and Mn were high in both tailings and soil with maximum values (mg/kg) of 937 and 975 As, 583 and 416 Ni, 1161 and 680 Mn respectively. Maximum values of (mg/kg) 11 and 16 As, 41 and 46 Ni, 520 and 426 Mn were recorded in grass and cow-dung respectively. The study recommends rehabilitation of the tailings dam in order to control the dispersion of metals to the environment.
