Abstract
A method of disposing of fines material includes the step of mixing a slurry containing fines material with a slurry containing coarse material to form a slurry which contains a mixture of fines material and coarse material. The slurry containing the mixture is deposited onto an inclined surface so that liquid can drain from the mixture. The mixture contains a majority of fines material by mass.
