Abstract
The article addresses seismic activity induced and triggered by iron ore mining in Gornaya Shoria. In 2024 in the populated areas of Sheregesh and Tashtagol, perceptible earthquakes with local magnitudes 4.5 and 4.6 took place, respectively. A partial synchronization effect in seismic activity was revealed in the area of three mines, namely, Tashtagol, Sheregesh and Kaz, with simultaneous amplification of seismicity over a period from 2012 and to the present day. Seismic activity is spasmodic, with periodic attenuation both in terms of energy and number of seismic events, and with the subsequent recommencement. The energy of seismic activation events correlates with the mining rate and steadily rises as the latter grows.
