Unveiling Rock Brittleness for Mine Exploration: The Potential of Non-Destructive Seismic Methods

Rock brittleness, a crucial property in industry, significantly impacts drilling, hydraulicfracturing, reservoir performance, and the mining industry. Seismic methods offer valuabletools for estimating brittleness across vast areas, leveraging the strong correlation betweenbrittleness and elastic properties like Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio.These non-destructive approaches provide large-scale characterization, real-time dataacquisition, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional methods
