The Mineral Industry of Russia THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF RUSSIA By Richard M. Levine Russia, which extends over 11 time zones, is the largest budget (Novikov and Sazonov, 2000). According to Russian country in land area in the world and occupies more than 75% analysts, if a reevaluation were to occur on the basis of market of the territory of the former Soviet Union (FSU). Accordingly, economy costs of production, then actual reserves would it possesses a significant percentage of the world’s mineral diminish by 30% to 70% for ferrous and nonferrous metal resources. Russia, which was a major mineral producer, reserves. Such a reassessment, however, would provide the accounted for a large percentage of the FSU’s production of a country with a realistic base for knowing which deposits could range of mineral products, which included aluminum, bauxite, be economically developed and be competitive on world cobalt, coal, diamond, mica, natural gas, nickel, oil, platinum- markets (Novikov and Yastrzhembskiy, 1999; Novikov and group metals (PGM), tin, and many other metals, industrial Sazonov, 2000). minerals, and mineral fuels. Mineral consumption in Russia has fallen drastically since the The mineral industry was of great importance to the Russian dissolution of the Soviet Union because of the general downturn economy. Enterprises considered to be part of the mineral/raw in economic activity and the sharp fall in defense industry material contributed more than 70% of the budget revenues production, which was a major consumer of a range of metals. derived from exports (Malyshev, 2000). Low domestic demand coupled with worn out plant and The most significant regions of the country for metal mining equipment affected the quantity and quality of output were East Siberia (cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, columbium, (Malyshev, 2000; Yatskevich, 2000). Faced with the downturn PGM, tungsten, and zinc), the Kola Peninsula (cobalt, copper, in domestic consumption, Russia had become a large exporter nickel, columbium, rare-earth metals, and tantalum), North of minerals to world markets. It was exporting a large Caucasus (copper, lead, molybdenum, tungsten, and zinc), the percentage of its production of nonferrous and precious metals Russian Far East (gold, lead, silver, tin, tungsten, and zinc), and and oil and gas. In cases where Russia was still exporting the Urals (bauxite, cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc minerals to other FSU countries, it was, at times, incurring (Novikov and Yastrzhembskiy, 1999). heavy debt from nonpayment as was the case with natural gas Most Russian crude oil and natural gas production came from shipments. Until economic activity in Russia significantly large deposits in West Siberia. Coal production was mainly increases, Russia’s mineral industries will continue to try to from East Siberia and West Siberia.

  • Sverdlovsk Region: Profile
    Sverdlovsk Region: Profile Geography Sverdlovsk region is situated at the boarder of Europe and Asia, at the junction of two large physical-geographical complexes. Its area is 194,8 thousand sq. km (1,1% of the Russian Federation area, that is 20th place in RF). The western part of the region lies mainly on the eastern slopes of the low Ural Mountains, their heights range from 700-800 up to 1569 m (Konzhakovsky Kamen mountain). Extreme southwest of the region is situated on the hilly Foreurals, and the eastern part of the region borders with West-Siberian Plain. The region is mainly covered with taiga. In the mountain part of the area prevail coniferous trees and the plain is mostly covered with pine forests with birch and aspen forests and forest-steppes in the south. The soils of the region are typical for forest and forest-steppe zones. The southern part of the region is well-developed, while the northern part is poorly populated and barely changed. The biggest rivers of the region are Tura, Tchusovaya, Sosva, Iset. 173 fresh water springs were found which can provide 1 408 thousand m3 of potable water per day that significantly increases water resources. Forests and numerous water sources create favorable conditions for development of tourism. Furthermore, national parks Pripyshminskiye Bory, reserves Visimsky and Denezhkin Kamen’ are situated on the territory of the region. More than 1900 different kinds of plants grow within the bounds of the region and nearly 212 species of various animals and birds could be found here. The region borders with Tyumen, Kurgan, Tchelyabinsk, Perm Regions and Bashkir and Komi Republics.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35.

ISBN Since 1979 the «International Mine Water Association» has been organizing annual international meetings focused on various aspects of mine water, including its hydrology, chemistry, biology, environmental aspects, and potential reuse, as well as how best to control it through better prediction, mine water management and treatment. The IMWA2019 Conference theme was «Mine water: technological and ecological challenges». The conference was held during 15-19 July, 2019 in Perm on the basis of Perm State University. The post- conference tour gives a unique opportunity to cross the Ural mountains twice and see the features of change in the geological situation in different structural- tectonic zones: from the East European platform, the depression area of the region (foredeep), Western Ural fold system (advanced folds of the Urals), the Central Urals mega anticlinorium (Central Ural uplift), the Main Ural fault and the Tagil synclinorium (deflection) of Tagil-Magnitogorsk mega synclinorium. The main stops along the route are the old Ural cities founded as places of development of mining and historical sites. These are the points of discovery of the first oil in the Volga-Ural oil and gas province, the first diamond, the first ore and placer gold, the oldest iron ore and copper deposits.
