Groundradar tests UltraGPR on heap leach pile in rural Nevada

A large heap leach dump from a historical silver mine was the subject of an UltraGPR trial conducted by Groundradar.  The results were disappointing due to the apparent high conductivity of the rock pile.  Although the pile is essentially coarse-grained gravels, it is speculated that a significant degree of salinity likely exists due to the leaching process which prevented sufficient radar penetration.
