“It could have been an earthquake or it could have been a mining-induced earthquake,” said Woodgold. “It’s in an area where there is not a lot of earthquakes, but where there is a lot of mining activity.”

I didn't know this was possible and to be honest was going to make some snide remarks before reading the articles. I probably make a 3.3 every time I eat Taco Bell but I actually appreciate this earthquake thread for informing me that mining can register. I usually scoff/hate earthquake threads if it's under a 6.

There is alot of mining around these regions so I believe it was caused by those mines and not tectonic plates.

I would have to agree. I grew up in a northern ontario mining town. We were on bedrock, but there were a couple of earthquakes that happened, even though we werent on any fault line.

Of course the earthquakes were indistinguishable from the daily underground blasting, so who knows how many actually happened.

It wasnt a aftershock? 3.3 is pretty weak, i felt some rumblings around those size from aftershocks due to quakes up north or wherever..... innnnnnnnteresting....

Yeah i agree with the Taco Bell remark even thoough we don't have one here in Regina...just Taco Time. This proves mini.g to cause earthquakes a bit. I wonder if Fracking will cause an earthquake anytime soon.

Funny too, cause I heard about it early yesterday as well - heard it made the morning news, but not the news at noon. If thats true, it reminds me of the old cnn trick- get the "goodstuff" out once, in the a.m.
It even got a little write up in today's Star Phoenix.

Just gotta ask - are you hearing any sounds in your skies? Don't mean to re-hash the sounds thing, but its the first time we've heard these types of sounds in the sky (jet-sounding no trumpets I swear), and its hardly ever that you hear of earthquakes in SK, especially ones where the media reports its caused by mining. Cause you look at all the mining going on, and more in the works. Just an observation. And you?

No I haven't heard any sounds in the skys yet except noises on planes, trains and construction machines. I'll post a video if i catch any weird activity if i hear it
