2008 Beverley Field Trip

proudly hosted by Heathgate Resources Pty Ltd

Paydirt's Uranium Conference is offering delegates the opportunity to attend Heathgate Resources' Beverley mine site for the day.

Date: 16 March 2008

Cost: $750.00 inc GST

Beverley, 530km north of Adelaide, opened in 2000 and is one of only three operating uranium mines in Australia, producing 1,000 tonnes per annum. Beverley is an in-situ leaching operation and unique in the Australian mining industry. A series of wellfields - essentially water bores - pump a weak sulphuric acid solution into the orebody which dissolves the uranium minerals before extration pumps bring the uranium-bearing solution to surface and through PVC piping to plant for treatment.

Delegates will be treated to a full tour of the mine site and plant as well as receiving presentations on Heathgate's operations and the environmental inpact of in-situ leaching.
