This project is the result of a collaboration between the ACG and Newcrest Mining Limited to define best practices in managing seismic risks in underground mines. A benchmarking campaign was conducted to assess the seismic risk management practices at 16 underground mining operations each experiencing different levels of seismicity. The following mines were visited by Craig Jones, Geoffrey Newcombe, David Cuello and Yves Potvin:
- Agnico Eagle Laronde Mine (Canada)
- Glencore Kidd Mine (Canada)
- Glencore Nickel Rim (Canada)
- Codelco El Teniente Mine (Chile)
Face to face interviews were conducted with site personnel of the following operations:
- Independence Group Long-Victor Mine (Australia)
- KCGM Mount Charlotte Mine (Australia)
- Goldfields South Deep Mine (South Africa)
- Goldfields Hamlet Mine (Australia)
- Newcrest Telfer Mine (Australia)
- Glencore Ernest Henry Mine (Australia)
- Northern Star Kanowna Belle Mine (Australia)
Telephone/Skype interviews were conducted with personnel from the following operations:
- Newcrest Cadia (Australia)
- CMOC Northparkes Mine (Australia)
- MMG Rosebery Mine (Australia)
- Iamgold Westwood Mine (Canada)
- LKAB Kiruna Mine (Sweden)
To supplement the data collected during the interviews, a separate survey was distributed to mXrap sponsors asking how frequently various seismic analysis techniques were used onsite. There were 30 responses to the seismic analysis survey from a variety of operations around the world and the results will be discussed in the relevant sections below.
