Abstract: |
The 500.000 t/a underground Mittersill scheelite mine produced around 12 Mio. t during its 40 year lifetime. The active western field dips with 55° to the NNW under the western flank of the steep valley. The ore zone is developed over a vertical length of 600 m from its outcrop at 1.250 m down to the 650 m asl. The deepest workings are already more than 1.000 m below surface due to the dipping below the mountain range. Open stoping with backfill, cut and fill as well as sublevel caving are the prominent mining methods. End of 2015 a micro seismic system from Canadian ESG Solution was installed to get a better understanding of induced stresses and movements in rock formation. As of December 2015 the system consisting of ten sensors are constantly recording all microseismic events in the mine at a depth between 500 and 1.000 m. The events are analysed and graphically displayed according their location, magnitude and category. |
