The Technology

Globally, there are 200 billion tons of copper ore and 10 billion tons of gold ore in existing heaps that can be treated by JEX.  Thes heaps contain enormous amounts of copper and gold that can be recovered using the ground breaking and proven HYDRO-JEX® technology.

 Hydro-Jex® recovers the previously unrecoverable with:

• Significantly increased metal recovery

• Very low recovery cost

• Highly effective for copper and precious metals operations

• Near zero marginal environmental impact

Hydro-Jex® enables mine operators to recover more metal from mature leach heaps at a faster rate, enhancing both economics and environmental impact. At the same time, the technology reduces cost. Here’s what that means for the mining industry.

• Metals recovered by the technology are otherwise deemed economically unrecoverable. Each pound or ounce recovered improves the overall profitability of the operation, which alone is a sufficient benefit for industry adoption. 

• Additionally, the metal recovered through the use of the Hydro-Jex® technology is recovered at a fraction of the cost, significantly increasing the overall profitability of the heap leach operation.

• Combined, these benefits make the Hydro-Jex® technology compelling.

• Hydro-Jex® is seamlessly introduced to a pad with minimal disruption of customer operations.

• More metal recovered from existing mines means less metal needed from new mines.
