The ventilation research group from CANMET's Elliot Lake Mining ResearchLaboratory undetook a tracer gas study to determine the airflow patternsthrough a stope undergoing leaching in one of Dennison's local uraniummines. This report gives the results of the analysis and draws someconclusions about the airflow patterns in the stope and the efficiency ofthe system used to ventilate leaching stopes.
