In 2021, MineFill completed the paste reticulation design and laboratory testwork programme for the Cerro Los Gatos mine in Mexico. The project focused on generating the technical information required to support detailed flow modelling and paste mix design.
Through laboratory testing and engineering analysis, MineFill provided key inputs that assisted in the development of an effective paste reticulation system aligned with the project’s operational requirements.

Project budget
The Cerro Los Gatos project required a detailed understanding of paste performance characteristics to support the design of a reliable reticulation network.
Accurate testwork and engineering analysis were essential to ensure the proposed system could meet operational requirements while supporting future mine development.
MineFill delivered a comprehensive laboratory testwork programme alongside paste reticulation design services for the project.
The testing data was used to support detailed flow modelling, while engineering assessments helped establish the parameters required for paste mix design and system development.
The completed programme provided valuable technical inputs for the ongoing design and optimisation of the Cerro Los Gatos paste backfill system.
By combining laboratory testing with specialist engineering expertise, MineFill helped establish a strong foundation for future project development.
