    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Backfill is described as waste material that is used to refill the underground voids left during mining for technical or safety purposes. Backfilling has several applications underground and the use of backfill has increasingly become a fundamental part in the entire underground mining activities all over the world. This has greatly been accelerated by the need to increase ore production as well as maintaining regional stability around mine operations. The ever increasing depth of mining operations has largely increased the use of backfill material in underground operations to allow efficient ... Continue Reading

         

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Statement of the problemThe Plateau Mineral Mining project at the Dabwam village will require operations to extend further to greater depths (1500m below surface) and hence the need for an extensive use of systematic backfill of the stopes. Dabwam village has been currently facing poor ground conditions that ultimately make the mining process challenging and dangerous. This ground conditions will therefore affect stable stope spans, sequence of mining and ground support practises. However, ore recovery will also be reduced from around 80% by prompting the mine to leave larger rib pillars (> 5m ... Continue Reading
