Abstract: This paper presents a case history of a geological exploration for an ore transportation tunnel for Jinduicheng molybdenum mining project. In the investigation, shallow seismic wave reflection method was used to delineate the bedrock depth, category of the surround rock mass and the location of the fault zone. In the practical project, it is necessary to use the optimized test borings to calibrate the geophysical results.

Key words: Shallow Seismic Method, Tunnels, Surrounding Rock Mass Evaluation
