In-situ recovery (ISR) is a form of extractive mining technology used to recover minerals from the earth’s surface and subsurface without the need for open pit mining or underground mining. It is an increasingly popular form of mining due to its low environmental impact, cost, and safety benefits. In this article, we will discuss what…

Instead of excavating, in-situ mining concentrates existing deposits of minerals or metals. It is a process that preserves the land while still allowing the extraction of valuable resources. What Is In-Situ Mining? In-situ mining is extracting minerals from the Earth without digging them up or moving them from their natural environment. This process involves injecting…

Exploring and extracting uranium is a significant part of the Canadian economy. Since the discovery of uranium in the 1930s, many mineral deposits have been located and mined throughout Canada, making it one of the world’s leading sources of uranium.  This blog post will provide an overview of Uranium exploration in Canada and what you…

In situ mining is a process used to extract minerals and metals from the ground without excavating and transporting the ore to a processing facility. It is a cost-effective and efficient way to remove resources from the Earth, but there are several things to consider when handling in situ mining feasibility. This blog will discuss…

What outdated beliefs do you need to discard when it comes to uranium mining? Are you curious about what it’s like to reside next to a uranium mine?   Most people have a radiation-related fear of something or someone. It is not unexpected. Such concerns are fair in light of the Chernobyl catastrophe. But that doesn’t…

Mining is a broad industry that encompasses a wide range of activities, including the exploration and extraction of minerals, metals, and other materials from the earth. Mining activities can also include processing and refining materials and producing goods such as coal, oil, and other energy sources. Unfortunately, it’s undeniable that mining has a considerable impact…

The constant demand for travel has cost humans a huge amount of rocks, metals, and other minerals, mostly used in projects like building airports, highways, and railroads. This act of mining for minerals has become a huge global industry, with a constant demand for new resources. This entailed an enormous environmental cost, as forests were…

The kind of orebody, safety concerns, and economic factors all play a role in the choice of mining technique for a certain uranium deposit. To recover uranium ore, both excavation and in situ methods are employed. Open Pit Mining vs. Underground Mining In general, underground mining is used for deep deposits, while open pit mining…
