The solution of geological problems in ore districts by seismic methods is reduced to the identification of inhomogeneities of the velocity section, with which certain geological objects are associated.

The results of seismic surveys in areas composed of magmatic formations indicate a large role in the formation of wave fields of elements of discontinuous tectonics.

The task of compiling velocity models of ore districts is extremely difficult due to the variety of forms of distribution of elastic parameters in magmatic rocks and an insufficiently developed set of methods of their study ...

The experience of applying seismic studies in the Pechenga ore district has allowed in recent years to proceed to the solution of geological problems directly related to the search for copper-nickel deposits ...

Despite the large volume of seismic exploration in ore areas is still poorly covered the question of the properties of seismic boundaries in igneous rocks. The information about them is based mainly on the results of interpretation of kinematic characteristics of wave fields, which give an opportunity to get a fairly complete idea about the morphology of boundaries, but very little - about their detailed velocity structure ...

Since 1970, a combined system of surface and borehole observations by reflected wave (RW) and vertical seismic profiling (VSP) methods has been successfully applied during detailed seismic work in the Pechenga region of the Kola Peninsula. ...
