Abstract: During the underground tunnel construction process of metal mines,the geological conditions in front of tunnel face vary widely,especially when the goaf or the water-containing goaf occurs,resulting in great safety hazards.In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of mine roadway construction,the advanced early warning research is much needed.Therefore,water bearing fracture zone and goaf left in front of roadway tunnel face in the underground mine -10 m middle are found by adopting the upgraded TEM equipment together with the self-made multi-turn or over multi-turn small coincident loop measuring device,through the sector positioning data sampling method,and using multiple data processing and interpretation method.The results showed that the mine TEM method can be applied in advanced warning detection of roadway tunnel face in metal mines,and can provide technical guarantee for the production safety of metal mines.
