ABSTRACT:
Process for obtaining increased yields of minerals from bedded ore desposits in the absence of natural confining beds, by confining the flow of leach solution to the mineralized zone through operation of wells comprising, (a) injecting ground water into the barren zones above and below the mineralized zone while simultaneously injecting leaching solution into the mineralized zone at a single injection well location, and (b) recovering ground water from barren zones while simultaneously recovering leaching solution from the mineralized zone at a single recovery well location.
