Heap Leach Optimization Services

GSA has extensive experience in characterizing and monitoring solution and air-flow to optimize heap leach design and operations. Our successes include installing some of the first large-scale heap-leach monitoring systems in North and South America, groundbreaking research on flow in gravelly materials, and the development of integrated laboratory, field and modeling methods to evaluate heap leach fluid dynamics and metal recovery. GSA is also unique in that we operate an unsaturated flow laboratory that specializes in characterizing mine waste and heap leach material. We have conducted extensive research and developed advanced laboratory methods to predict solution behavior and air flow in heap leach environments.
