Detection of Tectonic Faults Using In-mine Geoelectric Methods

In-mine geoelectric methods – the geoelectric seam-sounding and geoelectric transillumination – were applied for detection of fault zones in a coal mine. The measured data were inter-preted using geoelectric tomography algorithm. An appreciable agreement were found between the location of tectonic zones predicted by the interpretation and those observed during the mining extraction.
