The article presents the probable approach to the assessment of the availability of the mineral deposits. This approach is specially created for initial estimation of resourses and reserves of low degree of exploration. As the initial data the most significant parameters of a deposit are used, which can be proved objectively. These parameters are valuable components in ore, volumes of ore reserves, strip ratio, mining technology. The results of preliminary economic estimation of efficiency of development of predicted gold and copper deposits of the Krasnoyarsk North are presented. Economic efficiency of development of gold deposits Nizhnelitkinskoye, Groznenskoye, and Zhilnoye are estimated. The development of copper deposits is inexpedient. Keywords: mineral resources, production efficiency, the probability of development, copper and gold deposits With the increase of efficiency of the development of potentially attractive mineral deposits, with the development of the system of licensing of subsoil use and the growth of share of private investors in the domestic mineral and raw materials complex, the need for rapid assessment tools for mineral deposits is increasing, which would promptly let to perform the assessment without time-consuming calculations, without wide range of specialists and using a large amount of initial information. Especially such methods are in demand for assessing the efficiency of field development at the early stages of stock research. The accuracy of such estimates of the predicted effectiveness of field development is influenced, on the one hand, by a low degree of reliability of geological information on the size 1 The research was carried out with the financial support of the Russian State Scientific Fund and the regional state autonomous institution "Krasnoyarsk Territory Fund for the Support of Scientific and Technical Activity" within the framework of the research project "Development of long-term scenarios and organizational and economic mechanisms for the development of the Arctic zone of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and evaluation of their Influence on the social and economic state and dynamics of the Krasnoyarsk Territory "(project No. 16-12-24007). Arctic and North. 2017. No. 26 5 and quality of the reserves, on the other hand, insufficiently substantiated and subjective economic information on the expected costs for mining and processing of minerals. The estimate is subjective because there is no formalized method for selecting of the analog field. In other words, since there are no two identical deposits and there is no method of bringing them to a "comparable type", the choice of the developed field as the analog for estimated costs of a prospective field will depend on the expert's experience, and will therefore always be subjective. In addition, the expected costs for the development of a new field, obtained by the analogy method, are not always sufficiently justified, since the information on the actual costs of enterprises related to their commercial interests is often inaccessible and unreliable. In addition, the efficiency of the development of fields is influenced by the factors which are not directly related to the parameters of the development of specific reserves, but characterizing general conditions of subsoil use and the specific investment climate in the region. These factors often cannot be considered even at the stage of the feasibility study of field development. The method proposed by the authors makes it possible to evaluate the probability of involving deposits in the development, based on the available geological information about the size and quality of the stocks of the aggregate deposits of this genetic type of the regional mineral resource base. With the use of the threshold availability curve (boundary probability), the calculated values of the specific operating costs for the development of deposits located at the margin of profitability can be received. This is a kind of analogue of the maximum permissible, closing costs, allowing

The administrative boundaries of Siberia against European Russia and the Steppe provinces have been ignored, except in certain statistical matter, because they follow arbitrary lines through some of the most densely populated parts of Asiatic Russia. The present volume deals with general matters. The two succeeding volumes deal in detail respectively with western Siberia, including Arctic Russia, and eastern Siberia. Recent information about Siberia, even before the outbreak of war, was difficult to obtain. Of the remoter parts little is known. The volumes are as complete as possible up to 1914 and a few changes since that date have been noted.

  • Introduction to Picor-Ice SNAME Presentation Notes Slide 1 – Title Thank You, SNAME Arctic, for Your Kind Invitation to Speak
    Introduction to PicoR-Ice SNAME Presentation Notes Slide 1 – Title Thank you, SNAME Arctic, for your kind invitation to speak. This goes back to an excellent presentation earlier in the year (2018) by Bruce Calderbank on ice- related marine casualties in Canada. I asked if a blatant commercial presentation might be in order. Following last month’s update on the Arktos evacuation vehicle, the chairman invited me to deliver today’s presentation on PicoR-Ice. Thank you again. Slide 2 – The PicoR-Ice System PicoR-Ice is a ground-penetrating radar (GPR), the same technology you see on cable TV documentaries of treasure hunts and archaeological digs. But PicoR- Ice focuses on ice and snow thickness measurements. It is “non-invasive,” reducing need for drilling in ice. It processes radar returns and displays the underfoot reflection pattern instantly. And the entire system fits in a very manageable carrying bag, seen here on my back deck table with a standard champagne bottle for scale. Slide 3 – System Spec Sheet We have an engineering audience here today and so the system specifications are essential. A few highlights. Optimum ice thickness measurement down to 2 metres underfoot; snow layer thickness to 3 metres. Accurate to 2-3 cm. Transmission frequency of 1700 MHz trades off depth of penetration for increased resolution, important for operational underfoot thickness calculations. 30 to 60 pulses per second. When running vehicle-based survey, maximum vehicle speed of 40 km/h. The sensing technology is enclosed in a rugged and compact transmit-receive package (show actual module to audience).

  • Japan-Russia Workshop on Arctic Research Held in Tokyo on October 28–30, 2014, Possible Research Subjects, 29
    Cooperation on Arctic Research between Japan and Russia Joint Group of Japan and Russia on Arctic Research March, 2015 AERC Report 2015-1 Preface This is the report on the results of the discussions conducted by Japanese and Russian institutes and researchers on Arctic research following the recommendations made by the 11th Japan-Russia Joint Committee on Science and Technology Cooperation in September 2013. The discussions were mainly conducted at two workshops (WSs) held in July and October of 2014 in Tokyo, Japan. The Arctic region has been facing drastic changes in recent years. These changes are affecting the region’s environment and life in society, and moreover pose a threat to affect regions outside the Arctic region as well as the global environment. Clarification of these changes is an urgent issue, and it needs to be carried out by international and domestic efforts as well as through bilateral cooperation. The discussion on cooperative research between Russia, which dominates the largest area in the Arctic region among the Arctic countries, and Japan, which is a non-Arctic country but has long history of Arctic research, will surely make a substantial contribution to the overall understanding of these phenomena. We hope that the discussion made here will be implemented in some manner in the near future. Furthermore, continuous discussions in WSs are needed to narrow the existing gaps between the themes, and define other potential and productive research themes that could not be discussed in 2014. The organizers would like to thank Dr. Vladimir Pavlenko and Professor Tetsuo Ohata who on took the roles of WS coordinators and finishing the report for each side, and the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC), which financially supported the realization of the WSs and the development of this report.

  • Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (The Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea)
    Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (the Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea) Seventeenth century 1629 At the Yenisei Voivodes’ House “The Inventory of the Lena, the Great River” was compiled and it reads that “the Lena River flows into the sea with its mouth.” 1633 The armed forces of Yenisei Cossacks, headed by Postnik, Ivanov, Gubar, and M. Stadukhin, arrived at the lower reaches of the Lena River. The Tobolsk Cossack, Ivan Rebrov, was the first to reach the mouth of Lena, departing from Yakutsk. He discovered the Olenekskiy Zaliv. 1638 The first Russian march toward the Pacific Ocean from the upper reaches of the Aldan River with the departure from the Butalskiy stockade fort was headed by Ivan Yuriev Moskvitin, a Cossack from Tomsk. Ivan Rebrov discovered the Yana Bay. He Departed from the Yana River, reached the Indigirka River by sea, and built two stockade forts there. 1641 The Cossack foreman, Mikhail Stadukhin, was sent to the Kolyma River. 1642 The Krasnoyarsk Cossack, Ivan Erastov, went down the Indigirka River up to its mouth and by sea reached the mouth of the Alazeya River, being the first one at this river and the first one to deliver the information about the Chukchi. 1643 Cossacks F. Chukichev, T. Alekseev, I. Erastov, and others accomplished the sea crossing from the mouth of the Alazeya River to the Lena. M. Stadukhin and D. Yarila (Zyryan) arrived at the Kolyma River and founded the Nizhnekolymskiy stockade fort on its bank.
