Abstract
A 3D high resolution seismic survey was acquired across the Bushveld Complex for Western Platinum<br>(Lonmin group) in year 1999. The seismic data has provided a clear image of the structures of<br>Merensky and UG2 reef horizons and consequently a significant increase in the level of confidence.<br>The use of advanced processing coming from the oil industry to map potholes, faults and dykes which<br>disrupt the platinum reef horizons and cause mining problem is described
