Abstract
Abstract
Although the seismic technique is becoming an increasingly popular tool for mining its use tends to be restricted to exploration. Although capable of being used to characterize active mining areas, this application has tended to be restricted to underground or deep open-pit mines as acquiring high-resolution data over extensive areas has previously been prohibitively expensive. In this paper we show examples of the impact of high-resolution survey parameters on the resulting processed datasets and describe how such datasets can be acquired in a cost-efficient manner leading to an extensive 3D seismic acquisition programme.
