Backfill -- Whatever It Takes (55c598fa-a68c-4837-a73c-9de81a01def4)

The Bullfrog Mine is an underground goldmine that uses the underhand-cut-and-fill mining method. The portal was established on June 18, 1991. Mining is expected to be completed by the summer of 1999. This paper starts by discussing what it took to get from nothing to 2000 tons-per-day backfill, and ends with a hindsight commentary on things that did and did not help.
