This paper does a case study of endogenous deposits located in the zone of influence of convergent (converging, colliding) boundaries of tectonic plates in the zone of the continent-ocean transition, where there is increased present seismic and geodynamic activity, covers the issues of the ratio of natural and anthropogenic components of the stress-strain state (SSS) in rock massifs. It has been shown that, despite the confinement of the studied deposits to a single rock structure, as well as the proximity of their common neotectonic position, the SSS of the rock massifs containing them varies significantly. Based on a comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical data with the use of space data about the Earth (GRACE mission data for calculation of stress fields and radar images of the Earth's surface), the kinematics of the process of modern deformation of the upper part of the Earth's crust within the studied area is specified. It is established that the peculiarity of the region is the pronounced contribution of the natural component to the general present SSS of rock massifs of impactthreatening deposits. On a real example, the possibility of a predictive assessment of SSS has been shown, which is important at the stages of designing and conducting underground mining operations in severe mining-geological and burst -hazardous conditions.
