Rio Tinto’s Boron Mine
Sisprobe has set up a seismic network at Rio Tinto’s Boron Mine in California to monitor ground motion cause by mine operations and regional earthquakes. The Boron mine is approximately 100km from the epicenters of the 2019 Ridgecrest M6.4 and M7.1 earthquakes. Shown is one of the seismic monitoring stations that provides real-time monitoring, event alert, and ground motion analysis

Using drilling as a seismic noise source
Sisprobe has shipped 100 nodes to a location near Freiberg in Germany where the Canadian compagny Excellon Resources Inc. (NYSE: EXN, TSX: EXN) is conducting exploration drilling for silver ore deposits. We will record noise emitted from the drill bit and assess whether this provides a useful source of high-frequency noise for near-borehole seismic imaging. The project will be conducted in conjunction with the PACIFIC and INFACT Horizon 2020 projects.

A video tour of the Marathon PGE-Cu deposit
In the PACIFIC project, Sisprobe did a passive seismic survey of the Marathon PGE-Cu deposit, Ontario, Canada. Seismic velocity models help to define the geometry of the gabbroic intrusions that host the mineralisation and represent an economical and environmentally friendly exploration technique.
