Assessment of category of the rockburst hazard for the Charmitan gold deposit
The paper analyzes the results of studying the physical-mechanical properties of the rock mass of the Charmitan gold deposit and estimates the degree of rockburst hazard in it. Some rocks and ores with high strength properties are shown to be capable of accumulating significant potential energy that can result in brittle fracturing. It is concluded that the Charmitan field, by the physical-mechanical parameters of host rocks, belongs to the category characterized by the manifestation of rock pressure in a dynamic form.
