At a number of ore deposits of the Far East and the Kola Peninsula dangerous for mining impacts, measurements of acoustic emission parameters have been carried out and new data have been obtained on the specific features of the manifestation of dangerous forms of rock pressure in various sections of the mine field. A method for measuring the local control device “Prognoz L” has been developed and additional criteria for the impact hazard of an array of rocks from a number of deposits developed by the underground method have been substantiated.

The article presents the results of geomechanical studies to assess the rock-bump hazard of the rock mass in the deposits (Kukisvumchorrskoe and Apatite Circus) of the Kola Peninsula using a special set of technical means, including the automated seismoacoustic system for monitoring rock pressure, “Prognoz-ADS”, and the local geoacoustic device “Prognoz-L”, developed at The Institute of Mining of the FEB RAS. Based on the measurement and analysis of parameters of seismoacoustic events reflecting geomechanical processes in the developed mountain range, we constructed maps of seismoacoustic activity and volumetric mining and geological models of mines. Using these tools, it becomes possible to assess the rock-bump hazard in these deposits and identify hotspots for emerging dangerous geodynamic events at an early stage, which allows us to take the necessary security measures to prevent them in advance.

The article shows complex algorithm for locating geoacoustic events. Location algorithms problems are considered and methods for their solution are proposed. The requirement list is suggested for the developed algorithm, and the complex algorithm key stages are formulated.
