Abstract:

This study presents the results from several case studies on the application of passive seismic Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) surveying methods for Heavy Mineral Sand (HMS) deposit subsurface layer detection for exploration and mining. The results from these case studies demonstrate the usefulness of this rapid and low cost survey method to complement HMS deposit mapping and its ability to provide additional stratigraphic information in gaps between drillholes.
