Landfill Precious Metals Mining

摘要

The process and practice of extracting and/or removing precious metals and/or other elements from landfills or other environments designated for the processing, storing, and final disposal of municipal solid or construction waste. This process applies to all landfill operations, when the intent is to recover precious metals (e.g. Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, etc.) or other valuable soil materials (due to decades or centuries of decomposing trash), and includes the inadvertent discovery of such materials during land reclamation or remediation activities that require the use of earth moving equipment/machinery such as excavators, front end loaders, etc.
