Abstract
Data on the hydrocarbons, metallic and non-metallic min¬erals of the northern regions of the Russian Federation are presented. It is shown that significant reserves and resources of oil, gas, coal, chromium ores, copper, nickel, platinum, gold, diamonds, phosphates are concentrated in these regions. Large-scale development of many depos¬its is carried out, there are significant resources that are the basis for the growth of mineral reserves. At the same time, some deposits are not involved in the development, due to inaccessibility and insufficient quality of raw ma¬terials. Associated components in complex ores, primarily rare and rare-earth metals, are extracted in very small volumes. Russian metallurgical enterprises are poorly provided with titanium, chromium, manganese ores, alu¬mina. At the same time, most of the metals is imported from abroad. In order to achieve sustainable economic growth, along with building up the mineral resource base, it is neces¬sary to develop technologies for deep processing of raw materials, increase its domestic consumption, and devel¬op such industries as engineering, electronics and optics. It is extremely important to increase the role of mining in the social and economic development of the northern regions.
