Hydro-Jex® is the single best choice for gold and copper heap leach optimization.

The name Hydro-Jex® is derived from combining two concepts. 

Hydro– use of water chemistry to implement service.

Jex – a contraction of “injection” and “extraction”.

Hydro-Jex® is a patented and proprietary set of of hardware, software, chemistry, and implementation procedures designed to help gold, silver and copper heaps operate more effectively, safely, and sustainably.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions of Hydro-Jex Technology and Service.

Enhanced metal recovery of clandestine metal trapped in the heap. During, normal heap leach operations, dry pockets and drainage issues occur over time causing metal to escape solution saturation and become left behind. 

Some mines experience 25-30% increases in overall metal revenue, with some experiencing over 60%. 

Due to wide array of issues and challenges from the traditional heap leach sprinkle, inconsistencies in layered stability start to from as adequate wetting does not reach all section of the heap. These dry pockets, or trapped pools of solution cause instability throughout large heaps and may cause lift and stack failure.

JEX service of Hydro-Jex® improves heap operations up and beyond traditional heap oeprations through improved metal volume and rate and accelerated reclamation timelines. 

Yes, and is considered best practices for sustainable and environmental impact for heap leach operations worldwide. 

By adequately wetting and technically disrupting the existing piles, the service releases trapped solution, pools, and increases drainage throughout the heap system. In doing so the timelines of full inventory exhaustion is accelerated to industry leading rates.
