This report describes a re-analysis of previous work on the relationship between ERR and seismicity. Data from four mines spanning the Ventersdorp Contact, Carbon Leader and Vaal Reefs were analysed using the MINF suite of programs (e.g. Spottiswoode, 1999). For each area considered, seismicity was compared to energy release (ERR times area mined), with seismicity and energy cumulated over time. Results were not in contradiction with previous work, but help to refine and consolidate certain ideas.
