Abstract
Seismic techniques have significant potential for providing data that are critical for deposit delineation and resource evaluation. Developing and emerging seismic technologies include; combined surface and borehole imaging and surface to borehole and borehole to borehole tomography. Combined surface and borehole imaging using seismic interferometry to redatum surface sources into the borehole helps mitigate imaging bias inherent in surface seismic data and allows imaging of structures with dips ranging from horizontal to vertical. Tomography that combines the flexibility of unstructured meshes with appropriate choices of seismic arrivals provides convenient links between the geophysical data and mesh based geologic models. This paper demonstrates the potential of these techniques through examples using both synthetic and real seismic data.
