Seismic Risk Management in underground hard rock mines is a very important and complex task. With the support of Newcrest, the ACG undertook a survey to obtain a cross-section of the seismic risk management practices used in underground hard rock mines around the world. The results of this survey were compiled and are made available through this website.

This website provides an overview of what is being done - it is by no means an indication of what should be done.

As our methods and our understanding of mining-induced seismicity improve, so also will our risk management practices. The content of this website will be updated in future. This is just the start!
