FIELD: mining. SUBSTANCE: backfill mixture is formed as sludge-rock composition of high density within 2,000 - 3,000 kilo per cubic meter. Tails accumulated as a result of precipitation by gravity are added to the mixture after thickening up to 0.65 - 0.75 concentration by weight. The rock in form of 0.5 - 20 mm size particles is added after sieving and crushing. Sludge-rock backfill mixture is prepared at the content of current tails and rock within 30: 70 - 60: 40 ratio. Besides, water content is maintained at the level of 14 - 18 % by weight. EFFECT: higher productivity and saving resources. 6 cl
