Abstract
Public awareness of tailings dam failures is increasing in the wake of incidents in Canada and abroad. The present work establishes the current state of practice in mine tailings dam monitoring and provides a summary of the current technical and operational gaps identified through industry and stakeholder engagement. These gaps may be addressed with currently available technologies supplied by commercial instrumentation manufacturers; however, the assumed costs and lack of regulatory demand may serve as barriers to adoption. An integrated approach and diverse suite of technologies is needed to address issues of dam stability, worker and public safety, and environmental protection. Technological applications and limitations are described and design requirements are proposed for an integrated, real-time monitoring system. Socio-economic impacts and loss reduction benefits are considered and the need for industry and regulator participation is emphasized.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
