Abstract
This paper examines the characteristics of geomechanical processes occurring at the Altyntau Kokshetau open-pit mine and discusses approaches to their effective management. To ensure reliable prediction and prevention of hazardous geomechanical phenomena during the mining of the Vasilkovskoye gold deposit, a dedicated geotechnical service has been established, equipped with advanced monitoring and measurement systems. As the pit deepens and mining operations transition to underground extraction under increasingly complex geomechanical conditions, further development of geotechnical monitoring methods and instrumentation at the Altyntau Kokshetau mine is required. This includes the installation of additional geomechanical monitoring systems in areas where hazardous geodynamic events are predicted, as well as the identification and validation of reliable precursors of such events.
