      ABSTRACT

      Purpose is to assess a natural field of rock mass stress within Vostochnaya Sary-Oba deposit using in-situ measurements. It will help identify stress distribution as well as high-stress areas that may be dangerous for mining operations.

      Methods. The research has applied a technique of well hydraulic fracturing to study parameters of the initial stress field within the deposit. For the purpose, two metering points in two measuring (horizontal and vertical) wells were used. Hydraulic fracturing has been tested at each installation location.

      Findings. The in-situ measurement results have helped obtain quantitative parameters of stress-strain state of the rock mass. It has been understood that the available tectonic disturbances may result from the shape of structural folds as well as from tectonic fissility. Operating azimuth of the maximum horizontal stress within the points coincides, it is equal to 70° ± 10.

      Originality is the use of a new approach to assess the stress rock mass state within Vostochnaya Sary-Oba deposit while applying in-situ measurements and well hydraulic fracturing. The abovementioned favours more accurate and reliable assessment of rock stress state at the field being quite important for mining safety and for the development of the efficient supporting procedures and ore extraction procedures.

      Practical implications. The research results are applicable to adapt project documents for the deposit mining, a supporting technique selection, and ore extracting. Moreover, they will help make the substantiated choice of a structure and geotechnical parameters taking into consideration safety of operations as well as quality of ore mining. In addition, the results help develop measures to prevent rock mass outburst and fall in mine workings.

      Keywords: rocks, ore, rock stability, mine working support, outburst, rock mass fissility
