In the case of underground mining of mineral deposits under difficult mining and geological conditions and at great depths, one of the most urgent problems is the prevention of dangerous geodynamic events. The use of digital elevation models significantly expands the possibilities of preliminary assessment of the potential hazard of their manifestation. This article discusses the results of an assessment of the neotectonics and geodynamics of the Streltsovsky ore region carried out using digital elevation models. The interpretation of the obtained data is based on the concept of lateral tectonic flows adapted for the Far Eastern region of Russia. Digital elevation models based on the GTOPO30 made it possible to identify and evaluate the drift direction of three tectonic flows in the region. The direction determined by the relief coincides satisfactorily with the GPS direction.
