Abstract
The paper presents the results of a long-term seismological monitoring within the Starobin potassium salt deposit of Belarus carried out since 1983 till 2017. The seismicity not directly caused by specific deposit mining conditions, but due to the underground rock excavations is discussed. The fact of the induced seismicity manifestation is caused by the fault activation in the salt mining region as a result of changing the stress conditions in the horizons subject to the action of the natural tectonic forces. Spatially, the seismicity manifestations are observed beyond the mine field limits and involve the territories adjacent to the mining region. The averaged values of the seismicity increase are weakly dependent on the mining excavation features, but, firstly, on the geometry of the faults found in the region and the pattern of the regional tectonic stresses.
