Seismic Reflection Investigations in Isolated Mining Districts of Northern Saskatchewan, Canada

A01 COMPLEXITIES OF MODERN SEISMIC REFLECTION INVESTIGATIONS IN ISOLATED MINING DISTRICTS OF NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN CANADA Summary 1 Multifaceted Vibroseis surveys established fundamental data acquisition parameters for implementation of the reflection method under severe climatic and logistical settings. The integrated results generated novel comprehensive high-quality subsurface images of the subsurface from near-surface to Moho depth around the McArthur mine the location of the world’s highest grade uranium deposit. The surveys utilized 3-C component Vectorsies detectors in 2-D and 3-D survey configurations. Special operational procedures were created to guarantee functionality of the data acquisition system in an extremely low temperature -35 to
