Where We Have Been
Heap Leach Solutions 2025
This Heap Leach Solutions conference was held in Sparks, Nevada. The conference was organized in partnership with the Mackay School of Engineering and Earth Sciences, which has educated generations of renowned scientists and engineers and has a long and proud history at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Precious metal heap leaching also originated in the Reno area, and many technologies, including agglomeration of precious metal ores, were developed there.
The conference continued to be a forum for heap leach practitioners and researchers to share knowledge and the latest developments in the field.
