Summary: 1. Introduction to South African deep-level gold and platinum mining -- 2. Scenarios -- 3. Physical properties -- 4. Overview of key geophysical technologies -- 5. Top issues and applicability guidelines -- 6. Case histories.Summary: 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.PPN: PPN: 181439558XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SXEE
