Hybrid open pit/underground mining considerably complicates geomechanical behavior of rocks in the work area, which can initiate hazardous deformations in mines and in adjacent surface infrastructure site. In this connection, it is highly important to implement comprehensive monitoring of geomechanical processes in the course of mining. The monitoring accuracy and operational efficiency largely improve through the use of modern technologies of instrumental surveying. The content, arrangement and efficiency of such monitoring are described in terms of hybrid mining of the Gaisky copper ore deposit.
