Mining operations can vary substantially between sites, and have the potential to impact the surrounding environment in many ways. The Westbay System is an ideal technology for monitoring a wide variety of these impacts, including site characterization for environmental impact assessment, waste piles, monitoring of leach operations, closure analyses, and tailings and process water ponds.

Mining Applications

• Pre-feasibility planning and support
• Subsurface characterization and monitoring of pore pressures (slope stability), and drainage
• Acid rock drainage assessment and control
• Monitoring of leach operations
• Environmental impact assessment and site closure
