Demonstrates that simulated and measured tracer gas profiles can be collected and compared to ascertain the nature of damage or change to an underground mine ventilation system, provided: (1) the damage is extensive enough to cause a substantial change in system function; (2) reasonable assumptions can be made regarding the general area of damage and the normal function of the ventilation system.

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.
