Many mining operations generate seismic signals. They come from blasting and from underground mine failures such as rockbursts, longwall first caves, coal bumps and pillar collapses. Traditionally, seismic motions have been of concern on a local scale because they could create damage to structures at the mine site or at neighboring locations.
Recently, there has been much interest in the comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). It prohibits and kind of nuclear explosion, anywhere. So distinguishing signals of mining operations from a possible nuclear explosion becomes important.
