| Description |
This paper describes the design and operational
features of several asphaltic concrete gold heap leach pads which have been
constructed in the United States over the past 12 years. For these projects,
crushed ore is placed on the pad, leached, removed and deposited in a waste
area. Procedures used in pavement structure and asphaltic concrete design are
summarized and operational procedures described. Seepage considerations and the
need, if any, for leakage detection systems and secondary liners are discussed. |
