3D reflection seismic investigation for mine planning and exploration in the Kevitsa Ni-Cu-PGE deposit, northern Finland

A 3D reflection seismic survey was conducted over an area of about 9 km2 at the Kevitsa Ni-Cu-PGE platinum group elements deposit, northern Finland. The principal objective of the survey was to image major fault and fracture zones at depth. Understanding the geometry of these zones is important for...
