Mining and Heap Leaching Solutions

Maximum recovery, maximum efficiency

At Netafim, we focus 100% effort on maximizing your precious metal recovery, because every centimeter on the heap counts. Irrigation is an essential part of heap leach mining and drip irrigation specifically promotes less evaporation than other methods.

Meeting the Needs of the Mining and Energy Industries

Netafim USA's Mining Division offers the industry's broadest range of quality products, responsive customer service, global resources, and a team of experts to support your mining operations.

In addition, it doubles as a dust suppressant. Our precision drip products enable mining operations to achieve maximum efficiency by distributing the heap leach solution in a uniform manner, and in a way that protects the target minerals from any damage and increases the yield.

In the realm of mining, water management holds paramount importance, not only as a vital component of the leaching process but also as a dust suppressant. Netafim's precision drip products are engineered to fulfill both these critical roles with exceptional efficiency.

Our innovative drip irrigation technology serves as an instrumental tool for mining operations, facilitating the uniform distribution of the heap leach solution. This precision not only safeguards the target minerals from potential damage but also significantly enhances mineral yield. The result is a streamlined and highly efficient mining process that maximizes productivity while minimizing resource wastage.

At Netafim, our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in our mining solutions. We recognize the need for responsible water management in the mining industry and strive to deliver cutting-edge solutions that reflect our dedication to environmental stewardship.

With Netafim as your partner, you gain access to a wealth of expertise, resources, and state-of-the-art products that can transform your mining operations. Join us in the pursuit of efficient, sustainable, and environmentally conscious mining practices that unlock the full potential of your mineral resources. Together, we can shape a brighter and more responsible future for the mining industry.

Netafim's drip irrigation systems eliminate the risk of spraying toxic chemicals into the air where they can be carried away from the mining site. Instead, our systems focus smaller amounts of solvent directly onto the mound during the mining process.

In traditional mining, the application of toxic chemicals often poses a significant risk, as these chemicals can inadvertently spray into the air, leading to potential contamination of the surrounding environment. Netafim's drip irrigation systems present a transformative solution by eliminating this risk altogether.

Our precision-driven approach ensures that only minimal amounts of solvent are delivered directly onto the mining heap, precisely where it's needed. This focused application significantly reduces the chances of toxic chemicals dispersing into the air, mitigating the risk of environmental contamination, and safeguarding the health of nearby ecosystems.

By choosing Netafim's drip irrigation systems, mining operations embrace a responsible and sustainable approach that aligns with modern environmental standards. We empower mining companies to strike a

harmonious balance between resource extraction and ecological preservation, fostering a future where responsible mining practices protect the environment and surrounding communities.

With Netafim as your partner, you're not only optimizing your mining operations but also championing environmental stewardship. Join us in revolutionizing the mining industry, where efficiency, productivity, and sustainability converge to create a brighter and more responsible future. Together, we can set new standards for responsible mining practices that benefit us all.

Netafim's mining and heap leaching solutions can also help organizations increase yield and efficiency throughout their mining operations without unnecessary environmental impact. Utilizing industry-leading irrigation equipment that places a focus on effective distribution and low consumption can help to reduce the burden of these operations on our planet.
