Description

Underground Mine Backfill 1 - Introduction is the first in a set of two Underground Mine Backfill courses. This course is intended as an introduction to mine backfill properties, types, uses, mining methods and system layout. Underground Mine Backfill 2 - Slurry, Paste and Rock Fills reviews each backfill type and its preparation, distribution, stope preparation and placement practices as well as relevant safety and quality control issues. A review quiz can be found at the end of each section to evaluate your understanding of the material presented.

The objective of the courses is to provide an overview of common underground mine backfill practices and technologies for mine technical personnel. The goals are to:

  • Provide a standard from which operators can understand the basic principles and practices for using underground mine backfill.
  • Provide an understanding of how critical the role of backfill and backfill personnel are for mining.
  • Provide a common foundation for backfill training.
  • Provide a uniform backfill terminology.
  • Provide an understanding of the various stages of backfill systems.
  • Provide an understanding of potential hazards to personnel and equipment safety in order to prevent backfill-related accidents.

As many companies have site- and company-specific standards for their unique situations, training for specific operational duties is beyond the scope of this course and is left to mine site-training procedures. This course is not intended to replace existing mine training practices, but to complement them as a common reference.

Very good. Some of the material needs to be updated, as there are significant changes to the industry, particularly in the USA.

I was expecting so much more from this course, because it was quite expensive. I would suggest to add recorded lectures, videos and to create more advanced interface.

Overall, an not a bad introduction to mine backfill but needs updated. The course was made in the early 2000's and there has been many advances in the industry since then but if you are looking for the basics then this course will provide a basic understanding. I also had issues with the course referencing a table but the table not being there.

Good reminder. Must be updated. A lot of research were done in the last 20 years and the use of paste backfill in the mining industry has greatly expanded.
