In 2024, MineFill completed a feasibility study for the paste backfill component of the Skouries Project in Greece. The study focused on developing an efficient backfill solution capable of meeting initial production requirements while providing a clear pathway for future expansion.
Through an innovative dewatering approach, MineFill developed a modular paste plant concept that satisfied start-up backfill demands and could be expanded within the same footprint as production requirements increased.

Project budget
The Skouries Project required a paste backfill solution capable of supporting start-up mining operations while remaining adaptable to future increases in production demand.
The challenge was to develop a practical design that minimised initial capital requirements while allowing seamless expansion as the operation matured.
MineFill completed a feasibility study focused on the paste backfill system and developed an innovative dewatering strategy to support plant design.
The resulting concept featured a modular and expandable paste plant layout that could satisfy initial backfill requirements and later be expanded within the same footprint to accommodate increased production rates.
The completed study provided a scalable backfill solution that aligned with both the immediate and long-term objectives of the Skouries Project.
By combining feasibility engineering with innovative plant design thinking, MineFill delivered a practical pathway for future growth while maintaining operational flexibility.
