Abstract
Heathgate Resources Pty. Ltd. operates the Beverley Uranium Mine in South Australia (SA) by utilizing a moderately acidic In-situ leaching (ISL) technology, which is best in terms of minimizing surface disturbance. The paper describes the optimization of ISL operation with regard to both leaching efficiency and minimization of environmental impacts in the framework of relevant approvals and regulations.
