Minefill has become a critical element in most underground mining operations. The design, operation, and control of mine fill systems play a pivotal role in enhancing the stability and safety of underground mines. By recycling processed tailings into mined-out voids, mine fill systems not only improve operational safety but also significantly reduce the volume of tailings requiring surface disposal.

The 15th International Symposium on Mining with Backfill will spotlight advancements in mine backfill technologies, encompassing planning, design, operations, and research. A key focus will be on its essential role in fostering sustainable mining practices.
