Large gold and copper heap piles suffer due to reduced pad and lift inconsistent settlement. As piles are made, pile material can vary greatly and cause stability issues from decreased permeability yielding increased dry pockets, inefficient drainage, and inter-heap solution retention which adds exponentially to stability risk from these problems. 

JEX services directly addresses these problems. Through a patterned and carefully designed JEX services, heap piles achieve better internal heap wetting coupled with a more complete drainage recovery allowing material of the heap pile to be leached more evenly throughout the entire pile. This increased safety and stability also contribute to stable heap piles in continued mining and heap leach activity.
