Adaptation of Tectonic Earthquakes Precursors for the Prediction of the Mining-Induced Seismicity During Mining Operations

A number of seismic precursors such as concentration; fractal dimension of spatial distribution of seismic events and repeatability slope have been estimated to predict mining-induced seismicity in the Khibiny apatite ore mines conditions. A combined use of several precursors increases the reliability of prediction. To locate the most prone-to-rockburst sites, whose level of damage is determined by the probability of a dynamic event occurrence, is quite a performable task.
