This article presents the design of an innovative receiver capable of identifying electric and magnetic components of electromagnetic fields. The receiver senses and records electromagnetic disturbances generated as mine tunnels collapse. It offers excellent operating specification and the ability to sense and log magnetic and electrical component strength values in real time. The paper analyzes the data obtained with the use of a system installed in a working mine and attempts to determine hazards resulting from increased rock stress levels that, cause spontaneous EM emissions.
