Results assessment of seismic hazard from mining-induced seismicity on the mining’ in the Khibiny and Lovozero massif’s (the central part of the Kola Peninsula in Russia) are limited to determining the co-ordinates of seismic events and their energy considers this paper. Studies have been undertaken to extend the set of interpretation parameters, to include the angles describing the spatial orientation of the fault plane, as well as parameters describing the location of the principal stress axes. These parameters are determined with the help of an algorithm, using the first-motion data of P-waves recorded on the seismogram. It is shown that the extended set of parameters describing the focal mechanism of seismic events implies a clear connection with the geological and tectonic conditions of large-scaling mining operations and the resultant seismic hazard.
