Because of Weir irregular and unplanned nature, seismic signals produced by rock bursts and coal bumps will tend to be more ambiguous than Pose resulting from blasting operations. Figure 4 is a graphical depiction of the likely seismic visibility of domestic mines demonstrating roughly the proportion of operating mines that may be visible to the CTBT monitoring network.

On the right are a series of cooperative steps that could be undertaken at "visible" mines, starting with their identification for purposes of complying with the confidence-building measures provisions of the treaty. Passive cooperation would involve active mines providing accurate data on their largest blasts and collapses, as proposed in Chapter 4 of this report.

From page 17... ...
Most of the remaining mines producing potentially ambiguous, visible events could be "fingerprinted" through a relatively unobtrusive program of active cooperation such as that proposed in the DOE Working Group report (see text box) , whereby multimedia, on-site monitoring of blasts by a designated agency would be performed.
