Deep-Level Gold and Platinum Mining
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-09490-3 (ISBN)
This book provides the basic know-how and guidance to effectively exploit non-destructive geophysical technologies and apply them in the underground mining environment to optimise mineral extraction and to contribute to safer mining. The effective application of these technologies can enable a better understanding of the unseen orebody and the surrounding rock mass ahead of the mining face; the potential benefits of applying in-mine geophysics is demonstrated through a selection of case studies conducted in deep-level hard rock mines in South Africa. This book also offers valuable insight and training material for students in a variety of relevant mining disciplines like geology, rock engineering, mining engineering, mine planning and mineral resource management.
Dr. Michael van Schoor is a Principal Researcher at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa.His area of interest lies in using geophysical methods to solve a wide range of problems in mining and groundwater studies. Dr. van Schoor holds a PhD in Geophysics from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom. His key competencies are in ground-penetrating radar, borehole radar, electrical resistance tomography, induced polarisation and the radio imaging method.
