Heap Leach Pad Surface Moisture Monitoring Using Drone-Based Aerial Images and Convolutional Neural Networks: A Case Study at the El Gallo Mine, Mexico
An efficient metal recovery in heap leach operations relies on uniform distribution of leaching reagent solution over the heap leach pad surface. However, the current practices for heap leach pad (HLP) surface moisture monitoring often rely on manual inspection, which is labor-intensive, time-consum...
