After about eight months-enough time for radioactivity to decrease to safe levels-mining engineers will drill three holes from the surface to the top of the "chimney" of fractured rock. Through these holes, sulfuric acid will be poured into the chimney, where it will dissolve copper out of the rock. The solution, containing copper sulfate, will then drain into holes drilled at the bottom of the chimney and be pumped up through a shaft to a precipitation plant at the surface.
