Overview:
Geophysical methods can be applied to all stages of the mine lifecycle in new and innovative ways, including improving safety, aiding production, and managing environmental challenges. Most contemporary subsurface investigative techniques rely on invasive and extensive drilling programs. Drilling and assaying simply provide point-source information, which needs to be extrapolated over a broad area to estimate subsurface conditions. On the other hand, geophysical methods offer a robust alternative by providing a visual volumetric summary for improved subsurface targeting options. Geophysical technologies can enhance exploration, preconstruction investigations, locate problematic subsurface targets, and provide information for improving recovery. We also apply geophysical investigations for environmental characterization for seepage, acid rock drainage, and plume delineation. Geophysical surveys offer high-resolution spatially-continuous studies or can present a temporal component when performing the same survey multiple times, focusing on changing subsurface conditions. For this presentation, we will discuss geophysics in mining.
