Cut Costs and Reduce Risks with Proven Dredge Methods
For copper mine operators facing high-stakes leaching challenges, Skyline's specialized dredges deliver a proven edge in efficiency and safety. Since Skyline Dredging & Excavating Inc. has redesigned, we've transformed copper leaching methods, laying multiple lines in minutes at the Phelps Dodge Morenci Copper Mine in Arizona - the result? Slashing costs, boosting production and employee safety. While minimizing traditional risks like edge instability and erosion. Our Skyline system is capable of resloping erosion washouts, putting slopes back to grade. This method also reduces use of haul trucks, fuel, personal and time. Operation allowing faster mineral recovery without the ground-pounding wear of conventional equipment. Ideal for large-scale copper mines, this approach ensures MSHA-aligned protection, quicker setups, and real production gains, all while respecting the site's terrain and long-term viability. We've proven it at Morenci; now bring that Montana-tough innovation to your leaching pads.
