Heap Solutions Mining Services

Heap Solutions mining services can be applied to a broad range of activities from exploration and heap leach optimization to mitigating environmental challenges such as acid rock drainage (ARD), seeps, and groundwater issues. The offsite flow of mining liquids via subsurface pathways may form seeps and drainage channels, thus causing environmental degradation by mine impacted waters that will need to be defined for remediation. These targets are perfect for mapping via electrical resistivity, induced polarization, or other electromagnetic geophysical techniques.

In addition to our work on rock piles, HGI offers a variety of other services that are applicable to mining. We have created separate webpage resources that describe these services, listed below. Most are geophysical in nature, but we also offer analytical expertise for metallurgical monitoring, drilling support, well design, leak detection, investigation of acid rock drainage, and enhanced metal recovery.

 

In addition to our work on engineered rock piles, we have a number of other mining related services – See below.
