Read MoreIn-situ leaching, also called in-situ recovery or solution mining, is traditionally a process of recovering minerals such as copper and uranium through boreholes drilled into the deposit.
Read MoreAccording to the present invention, the overall pressurized horizontal line drive selective solution mining system, in combination with any solvent or liquid volume that is in excess of the volume required to fill the horizontal mining/fracture plane, weakens progressively the previous fractured plane near the dissolution front, assuring further lateral growth and likely reduced injection pressure over time.

Water is injected underneath the targeted layer until the boreholes are interconnected. At this point the oil control blanket is raised to allow mining
Read MoreIn situ leaching (ISL), also known as solution mining or in situ recovery (ISR), involves leaving the ore where it is in the ground, and using liquids which are pumped through it to recover the minerals out of the ore by leaching. Consequently there is little surface disturbance and no tailings or waste rock generated.
Read More2019-6-28 In-situ Recovery (ISR), also known as in-situ leaching (ISL) or solution mining, is a mineral extraction method where ore is dissolved by a lixiviant, leached and pumped to surface. The primary minerals extracted using ISR include: copper,

SMRI views solution mining as mining of underground, water-soluble minerals, usually using one or more drilled wells to dissolve the minerals with water (not by using acids used in metal ore leaching). Minerals such as salt, potash, trona, and magnesium salts may be produced by pumping saturated fluid from underground caverns.

Read More2021-4-30 Solution mining techniques, focused on caverns in halite, are discussed in detail in Chapter 13, Warren (2016). Solution mining can substitute for conventional shaft mining in some potash deposits at depths of more than 1,100m, which is the current limit for conventional potash mining.

In-situ recovery involves a series of horizontal parallel wells that injects a solution into an orebody, while a neighboring well extracts the pregnant solution back to the surface. To detect if mining fluids are flowing outside of the mining area, monitoring wells are drilled around the saturation zone.
