This is a three-part series on the history and future of In Situ Recovery Mining (ISR), originally known as Solution Mining. It was previously called In Situ Leach (ISL) mining, but has been changed to ISR to accurately describe the process.
Because of the nature of many uranium deposits in the United States, Australia and Kazakhstan, ISR mining has become quite popular. According to the World Nuclear Association, 21 percent of the world’s uranium production came about from ISR mining in 2004.
What you will read in this series has never before been compiled into one readily accessible document. StockInterview.com investigated the true roots of the ISR process, interviewing the individual who helped pioneer and develop the present day ISR method of uranium recovery. Stockinterview.com conducted interviews with some of the world’s top ISR experts, those who have built and operated ISR operations. We hope this series helps you better understand the uranium industry. |

Reversing Mother Nature
We talked to North America’s leading In Situ Recovery (ISR) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISR worked. Most of the significant ISR operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISR mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature. |
