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.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.Geotechnical engineeringGeophysicsGeologyComputer visionImage processingMineralogyGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth SciencesGeophysicsGeologyComputer VisionImage ProcessingMineralogyGeotechnical engineering.Geophysics.Geology.Computer vision.Image processing.Mineralogy.Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences.Geophysics.Geology.Computer Vision.Image Processing.Mineralogy.338.274109682622.15Van Schoor MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910586635703321Deep-Level Gold and Platinum Mining3060627UNINA
