Abstract:
Laboratory measurements on 126 samples and forward seismic modelling over a 2D geologic representation of the Thunderbox gold mine, in Western Australia, were conducted to investigate the seismic response of the gold-hosting rocks and structures at the mine. Laboratory measurements consisted of bulk density and ultrasonic P- and S-wave velocities at ambient conditions. We also selected two samples from the Thunderbox shear zone and two samples representing the gold-host rocks to investigate the pressure dependence of P-wave velocity.
