• Description:
  The problems presented by old mine workings affect both present-day mining and land development. An automated method of locating these old mines from the surface using electrical resistivity techniques was developed earlier under a Bureau of Mines contract. Subsequent Bureau research has refined the techniques and expanded the area of study to a variety of geologic provinces. During this research, six mining areas in the United States were investigated with the Bureau's automated resistivity method. This report describes the mining areas involved and the results of the resistivity investigations, which showed a high rate of success in detecting old mines. It also describes the field measurement techniques and data analysis procedures. [Description provided by NIOSH]
