Delineation of Groundwater Capture Zone for the Faro Mine, Faro Mine Complex, Yukon Territory. ...
The purpose of delineating the capture zone of the Faro Mine is to predict groundwater flow in the area for predicting the Mine’s natural potential for capturing contaminated water from the Faro Mine’s waste rock pile. The groundwater flow of the Faro Mine was modelled using Visual MODFLOW to deline...
