Gold is currently mined at depths reaching 4km in the Witwatersrand basin of South Africa. Geophysical techniques have been used to explore for new resources, and to design and operate mines efficiently and safely. The authors report on recent advances in technologies for3D reflection seismics, borehole radar, and rock mass monitoring.
