Demonstration of the Application of Unsaturated Zone Hydrology for Heap Leach Optimization
Heap leaching has become a widely used method of mining low-grade gold, silver, copper, and uranium ores. One of the key components to success in heap leaching is favorable heap hydrology. This report presents the results of a laboratory column study completed to further characterize the nature of preferential flow within heap leach piles and its impact on mineral leaching.

Max-Emitter
Download our info sheet on the new Max-Emitter. The Max-Emitter provides the ultimate in plug resistance with the widest flow-path in the industry.
Level Surface Applications
Download our info sheet on application of our emitterline for level surfaces. Learn about our emitter design and tubing which makes our solution the most appropriate solutions for Mining.
Side-Slope Applications
Ore-Max emitters are also optimized for side-slope applications. The collared emitter keeps solution runoff to a minimum and sonic welding prevents emitterline from coming apart.
Ore-Max Pressure Regulators
Ore-max pressure regulators provide consistent reliable performance in the field, coupled with rugged corrosion resistant construction for long life making it an excellent choice for miners.
