Alexco owns six patents and has additional US patents allowed and pending for the in-situ use of nutrients in earthen materials. Alexco's technologies and patents provide in-situ encapsulation technologies whereby soluble toxic metals including arsenic, zinc, selenium, nitrate are geochemically encapsulated by more benign minerals within the groundwater aquifer or within and downgradient of sources of contamination such as within a pit lake, tailings impoundment, heap leach pad or waste storage area.
Alexco is the industry leader for pit lake and underground mine pool treatment and our technologies and professionals have successfully treated billion gallon pit lakes for contaminants including selenium, zinc, uranium and nitrate.
Alexco's technologies have been successfully applied at numerous sites and locations and have demonstrated successful remediation for contaminants while at the same time unlocking property value and development opportunity that was previously restrained with environmental liability.
