The valued platform for sharing research and operational experiences in the application of mine backfills worldwide
Minefill is recognized as an integral component of most underground mining operations. The stability of and safety within underground mines are enhanced by the design, operation, and control of minefill systems. The proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Mining with Backfill focuses on the application of mine backfill technologies including planning, design, operations, and research.
There is no other forum available that provides this same focus on minefill technology. The information is even more valuable in today’s stakeholder-driven economy where the pressure to place mine wastes back underground has never been stronger.
Minefill 2017 includes 37 papers from experts around the world. Topics include:
- Legal, safety, environmental, and financial drivers for backfill
- Legal, safety, environmental, and financial drivers for backfill
- Binders, admixtures, and other chemicals to improve fill performance
- Backfill reticulation: pumping, piping, and hydraulic analyses
- Field fill mass blast and stress monitoring before and after exposure and data analysis
- Minefill geomechanics, numerical modeling, and interaction between backfill and rock mass
- Laboratory testing on static and dynamic behaviors of backfill
- Hazard and risk control practices in backfill application
- Application of new technology and new equipment in mining with backfill
- Case studies
