Starting from 2019 extraction of diamond ore reserves from Internatsionalnaya pipe by Internatsionalny mine of ALROSA is carried out in complex geological and geomechanical conditions. Geodynamic situation is complicated by a few gas dynamic phenomena of different nature and scale recorded. The investigation results on gas release dynamics from dolomite rock mass during drivage of Spiral decline, in a test site on level.-802/-820 m in case of prediction and prevention measures undertaken to combat gas dynamic phenomena are presented. The dynamic characteristics of gas in outburst-hazardous dolomite rocks are calculated by the initial velocity of gas release. Efficiency of the current outburst hazard prediction method using facility MIG-Ts1 is proved. At the same time, it is necessary to perform additional studies to collect sufficient statistics and reliable data on gas release and gas pressure during drivage operations in the mine.
