MINE BACKFILL – USING MINE TAILINGS, OR WASTE ROCK, COMBINED WITH WATER AND CEMENT, COMBINES SUSTAINABLE TAILINGS MANAGEMENT WITH SAFE, EFFECTIVE MINING PROCESSING.

CECMS provide a full suite of testing facilities and laboratory resources that are capable to handle any level of project study or to support an on-going operation. EP and EPC or turnkey implementation of backfill systems are done with an agnostic approach to technology selection. By providing the entire equipment value chain, CECMS can deliver a scalable, modular solution for the entire backfill solution. Our plant solutions are suitable for nearly every application, including: Iron ores, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Nickel, Gold, Silver, PGM’s and Coal.

CECMS and our industry partners continue to set the standard for backfill service by performing our own in-house test work. We understand the science behind the solution and can implement robust designs that have been proven in the field through feedback from our commissioning teams.
We work with our equipment subcontractors to develop the feed materials and recipes, build the mobile process for backfill production and placement and implement the quality control and video monitoring program. Contract terms are negotiable and could involve a one-off system design and handover, or on-going delivery contracts where the owner pays by the hour or by the tonne placed.
