Abstract
Underground exploitation takes place at greater depths which causes the need to reduce the operational costs of excavation. That can be achieved by choosing an appropriate mining method. Large scale mining methods are commonly used to excavate deposits with a low content of useful components that lie at greater depths. Sometimes conventional mining methods cannot produce the satisfying results. In that case application of unconventional mining methods or combination of both conventional and unconventional mining methods can be used for exploitation of metal ores. In situ leaching is one of unconventional methods that can be used for exploitation of copper deposits, and which in the near future may become one of the most favorable methods for the excavation of copper ores.
