Abstract
Since 1939 a series of rockbursts have been occurring in the gold mines at Kirkiand Lake. These rockkbursts recommend themselves as a source of energy for the investigation of crystal structure, since the mechanism of energy release has been shown to be similar to that of earthquakes. A seismograph has been installed at Kirkland Lake to time the occurrence of the bursts and a series of seismograph stations has been installed along a traverse towards Ottawa. By changing the location of these stations as bursts are recorded, a refraction profile will be built up. While the program is in operation the stations serve also as additional stations of the Canadian chain.
