With an increasing demand for critical minerals, the mining industry requires advancements in geophysical exploration methods. A recent seismic experiment in the well investigated Blotberget iron-oxide mining area in central Sweden aims to develop the application of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) for mineral deposit imaging. We present a comparison between seismic response of different recording arrays, including a synthetic model, broadband MEMS data, and a straight optical fiber, and extract the surface wave dispersion curves. Despite the associated challenges, we believe that distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is a promising method for surface-wave analysis and reflection seismic applications in hard rock conditions.
