Introduction. Recent Ural mountain belt is an N-S Paleozoic orogen rejuvenated in the NeogeneQuaternary period. It separates the East European plate located to the west of it and the West Siberian plate located to the east of it. The Uralian orogeny presumably occurred at the Paleozoic time as a result 36 "Izvestiya vysshikh uchebnykh zavedenii. Gornyi zhurnal". No. 4. 2021 ISSN 0536-1028 of these plates interaction, which affected the geologic structure of the region. In the modern era, low tectonic activity in the bowels of the Urals continues supported by rare tangible earthquakes with a magnitude from 2.0–3.0 to 5.0–5.5, 3.0 – 3.5 on the average, and the intensity in the epicenter from 3.0–4.0 to 5.0–6.0 on MSK-64 scale. Research aim is to analyze the spatial relationship of sensible earthquakes epicenters and mineral deposits in the Urals. Research methodology included estimating the position of Ural earthquakes epicenters and mineral deposits relative to the geologic and tectonic structures of Paleozoic time, recent epoch, and the modern era. Research results. Most earthquake epicenters in the Urals are concentrated within the western part of the Uralian Orogeny to the west of the Main Uralian Fault (MUF), while most mineral deposits, especially ore deposits, are concentrated within the eastern part of the Uralian orogeny to the east of MUF. In the axial zone of MUF, earthquake epicenters are close and sometimes coincide. Consequently, the processes of ore deposits and earthquake foci formation are of a similar nature

This article describes the confrontation between fixist and mobilistic ideas in the USSR in the twentieth century. The history of discovery of the Urals thrust-nappe structure and the creation of the thrust-nappe theory are outlined. The fundamentals of the thrust-nappe theory are considered. These fundamentals allow for the explanation of geological processes and phenomena from the standpoint of mobilism. The geologic processes of interest include orogenesis, folding, magmatism, metamorphism and the formation of mineral deposits such as oil, gas, metal ores, coal and others.

Relevance of the work. The data on the structure and properties of the subsoil, obtained on the basis of geophysical studies, make it possible to significantly revise the ideas about the structure and patterns of formation of mineral deposits within the Ufimsky ridge fault and its zone of influence (55º–56º north latitude in the Urals). Purpose of the work: constructing a model of the formation of the Ufa mantle ridge fault and identifying its mineragenic features using the example of deposits of ferruginous quartzite, kyanites and rare earth mineralization. The methodology of the research. The published databases and their summarizing materials on deep seismic sounding of the Urals with the allocation of a mineragenic load characteristic of the Ufa mantle ridge fault and its influence zone were used as a factual basis for the research. Research results. The Ufa ridge fault is a structure formed by the uplift of the upper mantle, presumably at the intersection of intramantle shear faults. The transverse asymmetry of the mantle ridge fault and the later rift-collisional processes are reflected in the overlying complexes and lead to a distortion of the lines of the outcropping of deep faults at the level of the modern erosional section. Horst formation was complicated by rifting-collisional tectonic events with accompanying magmatic, metamorphic, metasomatic, and dislocation processes, accompanied by various types of numerous manifestations and mineral deposits exposed by erosional processes. Schemes of the location of deposits and manifestations of ferruginous quartzites, kyanites and rare earth mineralization in its more eroded part are given as examples confirming the confinement of various types of minerals to the structure of the Ufa mantle ridge fault. Conclusions. The cropping of deposits and occurrences of ferruginous quartzites, kyanite, rare earth mineralization and other minerals is closely related to the development of the Ufa mantle ridge fault.

Gradation of industrial territories is an urgent problem for boroughs located near industries of this type as developed mineral deposits. It is particularly relevant for «factory-type» settlements in the Urals, where historically industrial settlements developed together and on the basis of mining and metallurgical industries, often having common borders. After decades and, sometimes, centuries, the justified and safe use of these territories causes serious problems due to fragmentation and lack of information about their condition. The article presents development of a method for displaying information about the character and degree of undermined industrial territories; the information is needed to justify questions about the involvement of such territories in economic use. The problem is solved using the Geoinformatic methods, which provides a reasonable approach to solving the problem of safe involvement in economic activities undermined industrial territories
