Abstract
The main objective of the first year of the DEEPMINE Programme has been to assess rigorously the<br>capability of the industry to mme safely and profitably at ultra-depth (3 to 5 km). Geophysical methods<br>provide signijïcant input to two technology elements, namely the delineation and definition of geological<br>structures, and the management of seismicity. The resuits of the first year of the Programme are reviewed.
