Development of solid minerals mining in the Arctic: new projects and technologies

Project*

 


Rich deposits of diamonds, nickel, cobalt, copper, coal, gold and other minerals are concentrated in the Russian Arctic. According to general estimates, the cost of mineral resources in the Arctic subsoil is about two trillion dollars.

However, the degree of exploration of minerals in the macroregion still remains at a low level.

At the working session, it is planned to discuss the actual problems of exploration, extraction and processing of solid minerals, the issues of attracting investments in capital intensive projects for the development of Arctic fields.

Issues for discussion:

  • Assessment of the reserves of solid minerals in the Arctic zone
  • Integrated development of solid mineral deposits of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation
  • Perspective Arctic projects for the development of deposits of solid minerals
  • Ensuring environmental and industrial safety in the extraction of solid minerals
  • Innovative technologies for the development of deposits of solid minerals in complex mining and geological conditions
