Mine Smarter; Waste Less - New Innovations Needed

Mine Smarter; Waste Less - New Innovations Needed

July 3, 2025

There is “collision course” of more mining needed in US vs. the notorious lack of innovation in the mining sector, and with "water management" being the biggest need for innovation.  EcoVAP fits this need of “less waste” with its Evaporation Matrices, providing 59x the amount of evaporation with no thermal energy, misters/srpayers and practically no opex…just the turbo-charged biomimicry of Mother Nature.  By dewatering tailings storage facilities (TSFs), the landspace required is shrunk to a small fraction, and environmental risks (such as catastrophic failures, breaches, leaks, wildlife harm) are practically eliminated.
