Abstract
Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is accepted as the optimal backfilling material for many underground mines. However, the lack of in-stope backfill pressure data poses fundamental problems from both operational and research standpoints. In response to the requirement for in situ data, a comprehensive field instrumentation project has been conducted. Results are presented here for two stopes at the Cayeli Mine, where geotechnical instruments were installed at the barricades and throughout the stopes. Measurements from a large (slow rise rate) stope with high binder content CPB demonstrated a rapid departure from hydrostatic loading, resulting in relatively low barricade pressures. Conversely, data from a smaller (fast rise rate) stope with lower binder content CPB demonstrated that when cement hydration is retarded, high barricade pressures occur. These examples illustrate the relationship between CPB rise rate and the moderating effect of cement hydration on in situ pressures, which ultimately control barricade pressures. Once CPB gains shear strength, arching of pressures occurs. In situ pressures were reduced with proximity to stope walls and further, under stope access brows, demonstrating that barricade location influences barricade loads. The application of real-time pressure monitoring of pastefill barricades has been demonstrated as an important tool in optimizing operational backfilling efficiency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
