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., UL https://www.earthdoc.org/content/journals/10.3997/1365-2397.fb2021059
