The event was located 6 km from Lively, Ontario, and was induced by mining activity at Inco's Creighton mine. Inco's in-mine monitoring system, and its subsequent visual inspection, places the event at 46.478 N 81.203 W, at a depth of 2.35 km. This event offers us a rare close-up view of a moderate earthquake, because it was recorded at close distances by five three-component broad-band POLARIS (Portable Observatories for Lithospheric Analysis and Research Investigating Seismicity; http://www.polarisnet.ca)...
