Seismic across Different Mineral Deposits - Does It Work?

Abstract

Many years of application of seismic for mineral exploration in Western Australia provided very rich data base which is used to test and optimise data processing and analysis. High signal to noise ratio enabled investigation into the performance of partial and full pre-stack imaging techniques. On the other end of the scale, very complex geologies and poor seismic response inspired the use of novel technologies and also concurrent use different geophysical techniques. Various case histories are presented and discussed.
