It is a known fact that, due to underground and surface mining activities, small scale (M<3.0) microearthquakes occur around mine sites. These are induced microseismic events that usually develop in uncontrolled way depending on the cause of human activities. The methods used to determine the static and dynamic parameters of the environment by monitoring the microseismic events in time and space domain are called Passive Microseismic Monitoring Methods. These methods not only used for determination of physical parameters on the mine site, but also they are used for determination of the risks of collapse, landslides, rock burst etc. and prediction of hazard which are developed due to increase in seismic activity in mine sites. For this reason, Passive Microseismic Monitoring Methods contribute to prevent or minimize economic losses in mines rather than providing an economic return. Moreover, regional earthquakes and their impacts on mine sites may be followed by these methods. In such methods that are used usually high-frequency sensors, a real-time and continuous monitoring can be done by at least 8-10 stations installed around the mine site. Seismological methods and techniques are used in monitoring and analyzing of microseismic events in mine sites. In this paper, implementation techniques and obtained results of Passive Microseismic Monitoring Methods, which are cost-affordable and very important in terms of the results, are discussed.
