4.7 Mud Rheology<br />

Mud rheology data was obtained on the Westmoreland <strong>Leach</strong> Residue slurry<br />

sample over a range of solids levels using a Brookfield YR-1 vane viscometer.<br />

The yield stress results are presented on Graph 4.7 are also summarised in the<br />

following Table 4.7.<br />
