For origin times after September 30, 2002, USGS computations of hypocenters and magnitudes for routine mining events

are listed in this publication only for exceptionally large events and for events that are also listed in the Reviewed

Event Event Bulletins (REB) of the International Data Center of the United Nations' Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban

Treaty Organization.
