English term or phrase: pregnant liquor
Traditional mining methods rely on the relocation of large volumes of mineralised and waste rock. Thus, underground cavities, open pits and waste rock or tailings repositories are left after mining. Where geological conditions are appropriate, mineral deposits (including uranium and other metals) can be mined by ISL. Known also as solution mining, ISL mining utilises liquids moving through mineralised rock to recover uranium. Chemically treated water is delivered underground where uranium minerals are dissolved or leached into solution, forming pregnant liquor. The pregnant liquids are then pumped back to the surface for extraction of uranium.
