The Technology: Sustainability & Impact

Greener technology for more sustainable mining operations

Our ESG commitment

Metals like copper and gold are vitally important to modern economics and industry. JEX Technologies is helping the industry reduce the environmental footprint of metal mining, enabling more production with lower impact. We are committed to developing innovative technologies that help our clients minimize environmental risks and liabilities, ensure regulatory compliance, improve stability, and meet their environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.

Hydro-Jex®: Reducing the footprint for metal mining

Hydro-Jex® improves the sustainability profile of heap leaching operations in several key ways.

  • By enabling higher production from existing copper and gold heaps, Hydro-Jex® technology reduces the need to build new mines to meet global metal demand.

  • Hydro-Jex® reduces the detoxification processing time by as much as 70%, reducing environmental risk and lowering costs and timelines for environmental remediation and compliance.

  • Enhanced heap stabilization minimizes the risk of toxic spills and runoff from active leach sites.

  • Accelerated pad detoxification and pad closure help mining companies address regulatory requirements for mine remediation and shorten the timelines for bond return.

Hydro-Jex® is considered to be a best practice in economic and environmental sustainability for heap leach operations.

When all metal is recovered, cleaning solutions can be injected to neutralize the remaining chemicals and stabilize the pad.
