%X Borehole to borehole electromagnetic tomography, also known as the Radio Imaging Method (RIM2), has been used at Callide Coal Mine since 1996 for mapping fault structures behind high walls. The RIM2 system has been used at frequencies from 12.5 kHz to 302.5 kHz at borehole separations of 50 to 120 m. A high level of correlation with the logged geology is obtained by using close spaced transmitter and receiver spacings and by the choice of the highest frequency at which signal penetration still produces a good dynamic range. The use of RIM2 was instrumental in improving the geologic model of the structures behind the highwalls at Trap Gully. The RIM2 system has imaged three main structural styles including reverse faulting and monoclinal folding, and horst block faulting with seam offsets of less than 5 m to greater than 20 m. The tomographic images produced have since been confirmed by the use of other geophysical methods and geotechnical drilling.
