This final report on the SIMRAC project GAP409 presents a method (SOOTHSAY) for predicting larger mining induced seismic events in gold mines, as well as a pattern
recognition algorithm (INDICATOR) for characterising the seismic response of rock to mining and inferring future behaviour. The pattern recognition algorithm codifies and quantifies previous intuitive, qualitative analyses. The predictor, based on accelerating seismic release, depends on the existence of sufficient data, a past history in an area, and power law accelerating behaviour of a seismic time series.
