The tectonic structures of different rank are distinguished in the Norilsk Region. The first-order block structure is formed by intersection of rank I geodynamically active faults: Khatanga, Imangda-Kystykhtakh, Norislk, Fokin-Tangaralakh megafaults and other. Rank II faults are the Norilsk-Kharaelakh fault, which intersects the mine field, and other 7 structures. Using geological sections and boring records obtained within the mining lease, slip faults and oblique-slip faults of rank III, represented by ridges in the terrain, are plotted in the satellite image. In the rockburst-hazardous high-grade ore sites in Glubokaya mine, it is recommended to arrange safe zones by advance boring of destressing holes in underground openings in zones of rank III faults.
