GCL and geosynthetic membrane installation for mining site
April 1st, 2023
Nestled in the Midas Trench lineament on the northwest side of the Humboldt Range, numerous mines take full advantage of their proximity to the basin and ridge frontal faults that serve as conduits for gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids. In 2020, CETCO was contacted by a mine in this region to assist with its heap leach pad […]
Using geosynthetics in mining heap leach pads
September 13th, 2021
Photograph courtesy of NAUE GmbH & Co. KG Industrial mining is essential in our tech-driven world. The need to create more efficient and cost-effective solutions has led to the rising popularity of a large-scale mining technique called heap leaching. Heap leaching utilizes chemical reactions to separate desired minerals from raw ore. The technique can produce […]
