Discusses relationships between certain design parameters and effect of other factors. Concludes that inclusion of backfill design calculations at an early stage of mine design can often produce over-all economies. Data applies not only to backfill plant and tailings disposal area design but also to the pillar recovery method and over-all mine stability Canada 1979-01-01 English Journal Article Journal Name: CIM Bull.; (Canada); Journal Volume: 72:801 Medium: X; Size: Pages: 82-89 https://doi.org/ [] 72:801 Journal ID: CODEN: CIBUB CLA; EDB-80-054178 2010-12-29 5531232
