Main topics in relation to the Asse II mine

In 2019 and 2020, the BGE conducted 3D seismic measurements in the area around the Asse II mine. This main topic provides an overview of the work carried out at the time.

Water has been seeping into the Asse II mine for decades, resulting in a risk of what is known as “drowning”. Miners use this term to describe a situation in which so much water enters a mine that it is no longer safe to work in it and the mine must be abandoned.
