Gornodobyvayushaya enterprises in Russia form the basic industry of the economy. Enterprise development will take the country to stable position and independence from external markets.

World rankings

Historically, Russia has large reserves of minerals. Thanks to the development of mineral resources, the country occupies a leading position on the world market. Large stocks do not always mean unambiguous leadership, for example, Russia has an overwhelming lead in the world ranking for reserves of iron ore, but the iron content is low. The same situation with titanium, tin, tungsten and many other metal resources.

Differ from the General provisions of the Norilsk deposits, where the quality of produced material is characterized by high performance. Today there are large mining companies from Russia, where they developed raw material for the production of Nickel (20% of the world market), cobalt (10%), copper (3%). The Norilsk mines on the global market comes a significant amount of platinum, tellurium, palladium. According to experts, Norilsk reserves will last for 30 years.

Russia produces 48 kinds of mineral raw materials, which makes it the absolute leader among the 166 mining countries. Most of the countries-participants of the market operate on a more modest list – up to 10 types of minerals. The share in the Russian mining industry in the world production is around 10%, which allows to take third position.

Industry Issues

The Main problem of the mining in Russia is the lack of systematic exploration. All public projects in this area was discontinued in 1966. The modern system of subsoil use by private developers won't be motivated to conduct research. As a result of growing threat for the entire industry. Most known deposits are already on the verge of depletion, and new ones are not opened and there is no planned scientific exploration.

This situation leads to the dependence of steel plants from external supplies. Aluminum production in domestic enterprises is directly dependent on the components. For the production of metal require bauxite and alumina, their production is gradually decreasing. The proportion of bauxite is 5-6 million tons per year, alumina – up to 2.9 tons per year, this is not enough for production capacity. The quantity of purchased raw material reaches 5.3 million tons.

In addition to inadequate exploration of mineral resources, there is the problem of abandoned fields, the development of which are not made investments. The total copper reserves of Russia are estimated at 100 million tons. The largest Deposit of this metal is located in Eastern Siberia. According to the Udokan Deposit contains about 200 tons of raw materials, but they were never engaged. In development are other large deposits (October, Gayskiy, Talnakh), where the stocks come to an end.

In the depths of Russia is 10 thousand tons of gold, but the situation in the industry of gold mining repeats the General trend. Industrial development is natalkinskoe field and in Sukhoy Log (for 1,500 tons of metal per year). The share of the far Eastern Federal district accounts for a large portion of gold production (up to 58%). Development and exploration of new deposits is not conducted.

Economy

Mining companies of Russia are the main base, forming the country's budget. The contribution to GDP of 60-70%, increasing exports of raw materials and finished products to ensure the filling of the stabilization Fund of the economy and the reserves of the state. Mining industry – is a complex of branches, which includes:

  • Extraction of mineral and energy raw materials (oil, gas, peat, uranium, coal, etc.).
  • Mining of ores of ferrous and other metals (iron ore, chromite, vanadium, molybdenum, etc.).
  • Mining of nonferrous metal ores (copper, tin, lead, zinc, Nickel, etc.).
  • Mining of mining chemical raw materials (Apatite, potassium salt, iron pyrite, phosphates, etc.).
  • Mining of industrial raw materials for the needs of the different industries (graphite, asbestos, chalk, limestone, clay, granite, etc.).
  • Mining of precious, semi-precious, precious stones (diamonds, gems, etc.).
  • Hydro-direction (underground water).

Mining companies of Russia are formed at the site of the development. To complete the work and reduce the costs usually builds a complex of interconnected enterprises. Deposits of metallic ores is accompanied by the concentrator, metallurgical plant and complex infrastructure projects, including settlements for workers, road junctions, and energy systems to ensure operation of industrial enterprises.
