Abstract: An operating facility (1) for operating a mine by in-situ leaching comprises a supply manifold (9) for supplying leach liquor to the injector well heads (3), a production manifold (15) configured to discharge leachate to a leachate treatment plant (17), a treatment manifold (19), a facility (20) for providing a treatment solution configured to inject the treatment solution into the treatment manifold (19) and/or into the supply manifold (9); and for each producing well, a production pipe (21) equipped with a production cut-off device (25) and a treatment pipe (23) equipped with a treatment cut-off device (27), fluidically connecting the corresponding producing well head (5) in parallel, respectively, to the production manifold (15) and to the treatment manifold (19).

Abstract: An operating method for an in situ leach mine comprises a routine phase implemented at the end of life of a block (3) of cells (5) of the mine, including collecting the leachate produced by at least one cell being recycled (5) in the block (3), the leachate forming the recycled leachate; and injecting the recycled leachate into at least one cell (5) of said block (3).
