Introduction to Evaluation, Design and Operation of Precious Metal Heap Leach Projects

You won't find a better basic reference on the technology of precious metal heap leaching. Whether you're a regulator, consulting engineer, investor, mining company employee, or simply interested in obtaining a fundamental knowledge of precious metal heap leaching, this is the book for you. Although intended to be an introduction, the book includes some fairly technical material--essential in providing even a general basis for understanding the technology involved and its useful application.

The book is divided into three major parts:

Overview--Predevelopment Aspects of Heap Leaching
Design--Elemental Development of Heap Leaching
Beyond Design--Considerations Critical to Project Success.

It also includes a bibliography of references directly related to the gold heap leaching process and a complete index.
