Seismic traveltime, amplitude and pulse-width can be used to reconstruct se
ismic velocity and attenuation coefficient images for a rock mass. This stu
dy discusses the appearance differences of velocity and attenuation coeffic
ient in the ore vein and rock mass in the images. The location of the rock
vein and the characteristic of the rock mass are discussed according to the
difference responses of velocity and attenuation from the ore vein and mix
ed rock vein, fracture and rock body. The effect and limitation of the seis
mic tomography method for investigating ore body and rock mass is suggested
on the basis of a field test result. The special observation method in thi
s study gives a good reference for obtaining full position and directional
observation in seismic tomography.
