Technology of in situ leaching (ISL) is one of the most promising directions in the field of mining and processing of ores of uranium, gold, copper and other metals deposits. In situ leaching through wells as the main method for uranium mining: history, status, development prospects, economics, production management, innovations, digital modelling of processes, by product extraction of valuable components, environmental aspects. Prospects of in situ leaching mining of noble and non-ferrous metals deposits. Heap leaching of metals: problems and prospects.
