Abstract

The paper presents the analysis of the territory study on the presence of minerals in Yakutia. The purpose of this analysis was to summarize the data on the main deposits located in different geographic regions of the republic. The article provides a scientific review of the current state of the mineral resource base of Yakutia, including general information about the region, geological structure, and the largest mineral deposits. In addition, statistical data on the number of deposits and their reserves are given. The problem of the natural resources usage, as well as the subsoil distribution and rent income, is touched upon. The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is one of the largest regions of the Russian Federation, more than half of which is located beyond the Arctic Circle. Despite the harsh climate, significant reserves of various minerals are concentrated in Yakutia. There are large reserves of oil, natural gas, coal, diamonds, gold, silver, tin, niobium, uranium ore and other mineral resources. A number of deposits are unique and large. They include Chayandinskoye oil and gas condensate field, Deputatskoye and Terekhtyakhskoye tin-bearing deposits, Agylkinskoye tungsten deposit, Nezhdaninskoye gold ore deposit, Sarylakhskoye and Sentachanskoye gold-antimony deposits and other deposits of silver, rare metals, uranium and other minerals. Of the 35 explored hydrocarbon deposits, 15 are oil and gas condensates, 11 are gas condensates, 2 are oil and gas deposits, and 7 are gas ones. Explored reserves of diamonds in the Yakutian diamondiferous province account for 73.5% (150 deposits) of the Russian Federation reserves, gold - 12.3% (815 deposits). Mining forms about half of the gross regional product of Yakutia. At the same time the republic ranks 7th in the country, while the life quality of the local population takes about 70th place.
