Managing Seismic Risk in Underground Metalliferous Mines Course
This course is designed to introduce mine geotechnical engineers to basic mine seismology concepts and their application in mining. Geotechnical engineers who work on medium to high risk seismic mines would benefit most from this course.

Developer Updates – August 2023
mXrap Developer Updates – August 2023 If you would like to access these updates and require a root upgrade, please contact the support email address for assistance.
Updates to Short-term Response Analysis
There have been a number of recent updates to the Short-term Response Analysis app. These include: Chart for determining re-entry using different parameters: This chart gives you values for a particular parameter over time (based on a user-defined time window size and step). A threshold value for that parameter can be set, allowing you to see when the seismic data drops below that threshold. The parameter investigated can currently be set to energy, event count,
HW–FW filter
For a few months now, a new tool has appeared in the General Analysis app; the hanging wall (HW) and footwall (FW) filter. The HW–FW filter allows you to filter your events based on where they are in relation to ticked survey/s. If more than one survey or plane is used for the HW–FW filter, they need to be somewhat parallel in order to make sense. Below is an example of the classification when one
What are Bundles?
Bundles are a form of protection which we use to limit access to specific parts of mXrap applications. One of the primary incentives behind the use of Bundles is to reduce the amount of the root folder which is exposed to users for editing. While we encourage users to modify the root folder to suit their specific needs, modifications to core parts of the app can hamper our ability to maintain and upgrade root folders
Marker Style Updates
The upgrade to mXrap version 5.16 introduced a variety of changes and improvements to marker styles. The changes can be separated into general updates which are relevant to all users and developer updates which are relevant to app developers who create and customise marker styles. General Updates: For general users the focus was on making it easier to quickly customise a series marker styles on the fly. In addition to this we have added support
Some mXmas fun
With the holidays approaching we thought we would send everyone some mXmas presents! And obviously what everyone wants for mXmas are mXrap videos ?. These videos are not geotech related but come from various games, generative art, or physics simulations that we have made for fun. Scroll down for more details. The mXrap team wishes everyone well for the holidays and a happy new year. Please be aware that the mXrap offices will be closed
