Abstract: The seismic monitoring program on Zhezkazgan mines and its features are described. Physical concepts of 
strong seismic event forecasting based on laboratory experiments and earthquake seismology investigations 
are considered. High concentration of events, seismic gaps and seismicity migration can be used as 
precursors of strong seismic events. A parameter, which characterises the possibility of weak events 
interacting and forming a strong seismic event is introduced. The case study of a strong event with radiated 
energy 107.11 J which was forecast in real time mode by analysing only seismic data is considered.
