The structure of the leach pad actually used in mining is designed for efficient leaching and environmental safety. In a mine, the construction of the leach pad begins with placement on the bottom of about 12 inches of a non-permeable layer of clay. On top of that is a system of pipes to detect any possible leaks in the pad.

In Situ Leach Mining of Uranium (Updated September 2020) In 2019, 57% of world uranium mined was from by in situ leach (ISL) methods. Most uranium mining in the USA, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is now by ISL, also known as in situ recovery (ISR). ISL mining of uranium is undertaken in Australia, China, and Russia as well.

Thirty-seven different heap leach operations with a total production of 198 tonnes of gold per year (6,150,000 ounces/yr.) were surveyed to determine operating practice. These operations together produce 7.4% of the world's gold. When mines not surveyed are taken into account, it is likely that heap leaching produces 12% of the world's gold.

The best practices for chemical leaching are a combination of pre-concentration and mill leaching, as they lead to the least amount of waste, a short processing time for miners, and high gold recoveries. First, concentration is done through gravity techniques. Then the concentrate is simultaneously milled and leached.

Without agglomeration, fine particles travel through the heap, clogging the spaces between the larger particles and resulting in poor leach solution flow. Poor flow of leach solution will result in long leach rates and/or decreased metal recovery. Agglomeration immobilizes the fine particles and therefore improves heap permeability to fluid flow.
