A Legacy of Innovation in Mining

For over five decades, since our first gathering in Mount Isa in 1973, the International Symposium on Mining with Backfill has evolved into the global cornerstone for backfill technology advancement. Our journey spans multiple mining nations, establishing ourselves as the premier platform for sharing groundbreaking developments in the field. Through the years, we've fostered an environment where industry leaders collaborate to develop cost-effective backfill solutions that balance complex operational demands.
