Abstract
This paper examines the background and application of millimetre wave radar technology to control and direct the material mix introduced to refill large underground voids. In addition it documents the use of radars for surface mine visualisation to produce images of the bucket fill on large rope shovels and on draglines to help reconcile dig volumes and to specify dig and fill surface profiles.
