Wits geophysicists have invented cost-effective and environmentally friendly seismic technologies that will contribute to sustainable mining exploration.
The innovation, a project led by the Wits Seismic Research Centre in the School of Geosciences, is a response to the Advanced Orebody Knowledge call titled,
Developing technologies that will be used to obtain information ahead of the mine face such as Tunnel Seismic Prediction (TSP).
Led by Professor Musa Manzi, Director of the Wits Seismic Research Centre, this innovative active-passive seismic approach is envisaged to revive the seismic mining methods in the country and will contribute to sustainable mining activities. Manzi says that this innovation, born in November 2020, seeks to address challenges of sustainable exploration of mineral resources that are vital to the economy and technological advancement within the African continent and in the world.
