Abstract The geomechanical monitoring system of ground surface in the area of the Atasu Iron Mine lease is described. The actual undermined ground surface is examined using drone photogravimetry. The sources of ground deformation are determined from independent measurements within a created temporal reference test site aligned with GNSS coordinates. High-precision geometric levelling is accomplished using metal benchmarks set as three levelling lines along and across the strike of ore bodies with a view to revealing rock mass movements in the course of underground mining.
