Preliminary evaluation of in situ leaching on MTA [Minad-Teton Australia's] uranium deposits in the Lake Frome area, SA.
In-situ leaching of a uranium orebody can only be successful if the deposit meets a number of essential criteria. These criteria are: 1. The ore occurs in a generally porous and permeable horizontal bed underlain and overlain by impermeable strata;...-
