ReclamationMine: Reclamation and Environmental Protection
Information and links on a variety of technical aspects of mining & mineral exploration.



 
ReclamationMine Objectives

The objectives of ReclamationMine are:

  • Link to the website of the Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation (TRCR).
  • Be a forum for rapid e-publication and dissemination of news and information about the activities and successes of mine-land reclamation professionals working in western Canada.
  • Inform industry and the public about advances in the technology of mine site reclamation.
  • List links to sites that deal with reclamation.

This is your site: we seek your input and your contributions. Please send us your technical papers, photos, news and views so that we can rapidly post them and enhance quick dissemination of events, happenings, and activities relevant to reclamation and environmental protection.

Our first focus is the Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation; but we seek to go further and provide a platform for the rest of the world to benefit from the ideas, inspiration, and successes of mine reclamation in western Canada. And conversely we seek to bring back to western Canada, in one easy-access location, the news, views, and resources on mining land reclamation worldwide.

Mine Reclamation Symposium Proceedings 1977-2002

A CD has been produced which contains the papers presented at each of the previous 26 symposia from the first in 1977 to 2002. The CD was prepared to further one of the main goals of the Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation: sharing knowledge about mine reclamation.

To leach or not to leach?
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
In-situ leaching (ISL) or in-situ recovery was developed in the mid 1970s as a method for extracting uranium from typical roll-front type deposits located in water saturated permeable rocks that were not suitable for conventional mining. It was conceived independently in both the (former) USSR and the USA using similar approaches in engineering and technology. read more »
