Electromagnetic geophysical leaching plume detection experiments - San Xavier Mine Facility, Tucson, Arizona

Lee, D.O.; Wayland, J.R.

The objective of this work was to investigate whether a subsurface plume may be detected and followed using crosshole and surface-to-borehole electromagnetic geophysical techniques. both of these techniques were experimentally demonstrated to be feasible. The presence of the injected plume was easily detected with these methods but additional work must be done to refine the techniques. 5 refs., 15 figs., 1 tab.
