In 1996, a study was conducted to assess seismic response for different stages and situations in a scattered mining environment. Seven different areas within a geologically complex mining block where analysed in an attempt to assess seismic response in terms of: differences in depth; proximity to geological structures; mining towards solid and mining towards an already mined out area. This analysis was conducted using various statistical and seismicity parameters to describe and compare different mining situations and the rockmass response to production. A rock engineering interpretation of the seismic observations was attempted in terms of anticipated stress levels, deformation and relative seismic hazard. It was possible to explain the seismic observations in practical and logical rock engineering terms and it was found that some parameters were good indicators of the local rockmass stiffness and could be related to areas where high levels of stress induced fracturing were expected. From this it was concluded that seismic observations could assist in day-to-day rock engineering analyses and assist as a decision making tool.
