Seismic Methods in Mineral Exploration - A Case Study from Flin Flon Mining Camp, Canada

Geophysical techniques become more and more important in looking for new deep-seated ore deposits. Due to the depth limitation of the most commonly used EM techniques, seismic methods become an alternative tool for ore targeting. Here we report on the comprehensive seismic program for ore exploration that has recently been carried out in the Flin Flon mining camp in Canada. We provide an overview of the most important results from Flin Flon project with the aim to provide guidelines for planning future exploration projects in other mining camps.
