The greatest Tank Bioleaching method in copper cathode production in the world is now constructed by Iranian Babak Copper Co. on a location 23 km away from Shahr-E-Babak city with nominal capacity of 50,000 tons a year. The chemical studies, pilot and process designing are done by EPCM, a Canadian company, and its executional operations have been started on Aug-17-2011 and hopefully will be inaugurated in mid-2016.
