ESG provides microseismic monitoring of underground gold, silver, palladium, copper, nickel, potash, coal, salt, trona and limestone mines from around the world. These systems are used to monitor a wide range of mining activities such as:

• Caving
• Vertical retreat mining
• Sub-level caving
• Room & pillar
• Block caving
• Under cut & fill
• Open stope

The images show the installation and placement of monitoring instrumentation within a deep rock underground mine. ESG’s Hyperion Seismic Software can be used to display 3D images of microseismicity detected within the mine. Operators and engineers can use this software to visualize fault activation and stress redistributions.
