Ore-Body Delineation using Borehole Seismic Techniques for Hard Rock Exploration

Very often, economically viable ore deposits are low in volume and located at depth within extremely complex geological environments. Such deposits are difficult to explore. Borehole seismic methods, particularly crosshole reflection imaging, could be utilized to detect and delineate such resources....

description Very often, economically viable ore deposits are low in volume and located at depth within extremely complex geological environments. Such deposits are difficult to explore. Borehole seismic methods, particularly crosshole reflection imaging, could be utilized to detect and delineate such resources. This study aims to evaluate the true potential of crosshole seismic reflection method for mineral exploration. One of the most promising applications of this method is in finding down-dip extensions of the existing resources.
