Real-time processing utilizes <br />modules from the .Earthworm software suite developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) <br />in Menlo Park, California (Johnson et al., 1995). The program detects, automatically locates, and <br />saves event data for triggered events. The network is divided into two sub-nets (each with five- <br />stations), one in each of the two main mining areas (Figure 1). <br />DATA PROCESSING <br />Identification of Events <br />• <br />Events are regarded as seismic in origin and logged by the Earthworm triggering system if they <br />appear on five or more stations with significant amplitude, impulsive onset and appropriate time <br />differences between stations. Triggering occurs within the two sub-nets (five stations in each) so <br />that important events are not missed. Earthworm also provides automatic locations for events <br />that have sufficient arrival time picks.
