Territory environmental conditions Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) is located in southeastern part of Western . The area of the region is 95,700 km2, which makes up 4% of the territory of Western Siberia and 0,6% of the territory of the Russian Federation. Kemerovo region has only land administrative borders. In the North it borders on Region, in the East — on Krasnoyarsky region and the Republic of Khakasiya, in the South — on the Republic of Altay and Altay region (the borders stretch along the main mountain ranges of the Mountain Shoriya and Mountain Range), in the West — on Novosibirsk region. The main peculiarity of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) geographical position is that it is located near the center of Eurasia, on the border of Western and Eastern Siberia. It is situated quite far from the seas. Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) is located in southeastern part of Western Siberia. The North of the region is represented by the southeastern part of Western Siberia Lowlands, the East and Northeast — by the mountains of Kuznetsky Alatau, Southwest — by Salair mountain range, the South — by Mountain Shoriya ranges, the central part — by Kuznetsky basin. Kuznetsky Alatau is the greatest mountain system in the region. The total length of the main range is more than 500 km. The highest peak is Amzas-Taskyl (Verkhniy Zub), which is 2178 meters above sea level. Along the main mountain range and some arms there are perennial snow patchs on the northern mountain slopes, areas of mountain tundra, and alpine plants. Deciduous and dark coniferous forest have also been preserved in the area. Salair Mountain Range is ancient mountains. Their length form the south to the north is about 300 km, width — 15-40 km. The range is intensely flattened. Its average hight is about 400 meters above sea level. Mountain Shoriya is often called Siberian Switzerland because of its mountain ski resorts, alpine meadows, and remarkably clear air. Mountain Shoriya is located in the area, where the ranges of Northeastern Altay, Kuznetsky Alatau, and Salair Mountain Range join together.

Natural resources Mineral resources

Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) has considerable natural resources. About 500 deposits of various mineral resources have been thoroughly studied and registered be the State Register of Mineral Reserves of the Russian Federation on the territory of the region. Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) is a unique coal field, which has deposits of different coal grades: coking coal and high-quality power generating coal. According to the latest data, total coal resource potential is estimated at 370,82 bln tons in Kuzbass coal basin down to 1800 meter depth. They comply with the parameters for seam thickness and ash content, requirements for deposits, taken for commercial development. According to the results of prospecting, in the beginning of 2020 the State Register of Reserves had 69,26 bln tons of coal, explored for commercial categories (А+В+С1+С2) down to 600 meter depth, including 32,7 bln tons of coking coal (among them deficit grades account for 15,36 bln tons. In addition, methane reserves, kept in coal beds account for 15 bln m3. In southeastern part of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) there is western segment of Kansko- Achinskiy lignite basin, which is represented by five deposits: Itatskoye and Uryupskoe, which are located on the territory of Tyazhinskiy municipal district of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass); Barandatskoye is located in Tisulsky municipal district; Tisulskoye and Dudetskoye coal fields are not large and are of local significance. The main field reserves are estimated at 52,65 bln tons. Though coal is quite a wide-spread mineral resource in the Russian Federation, there is a great number of both explored and developed coal fields, and considerable investments have been made in the technology development in large coal deposits (Elegestskoye coal deposit in Tyva, Yakutiya, coal deposits near the cities of Chita, Irkutsk, in Buryat republic, in Krasnoyarsk part of Kansko-Achinskiy fuel and energy complex), the competition with Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) in coal supply is not intense. It emerges mainly due to the supply of bituminous power station coal, which is often used inside the country. Besides, it is a relative competition, because as a rule, power facilities use some certain type of coal. Consequently, they are connected with the supplier. The capacity of iron ore deposits in Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) accounts for 4,61 bln tons, including the commercial categories (А+В+С1+С2) – 1,37 bln tons, in which the content of pure iron varies from 34% to 48%. The main districts with iron ore deposits are Mountain Shoriya (3,95 bln tons, which geological reserves comprise 987 mln tons) and Kuznetskiy Alatau (geological reserves comprise 370,1 mln tons). Moreover, not far from Kemerovo Region (Kuzbass) there are large raw materials deposits in Khakasiya and in southern part of Krasnoyarsk region. In Tomsk Region total predicted resources of iron ore are estimated at 393 bln tons with mean iron content higher than 40% in the ore of the largest Bakcharskoye coal deposit. There are reserve explored deposits within 500 kilometers from metallurgical complexes of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass). They are Inskoye, Beloretskoye (Altay Region), Kholzunskoye (Altay Republic). In Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) there is a source of raw materials (main non-metallic mineral resources for metallurgy). They are 6 deposits of fluxing limestone (Tisulskiy, Belovskiy, and Novokuznetskiy municipal areas, Tyazhinskiy and Gurievskiy municipal districts of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass)); 3 deposits of quartz rock (Mountain Shoriya and Yayskiy municipal district of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass); 2 deposits of magnesian lime (Mountain Shoriya), 7 deposits of refractory clay (Kemerovskiy and Gurievskiy municipal districts, Novokuznetskiy municipal area of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass); 3 deposits of moulding sand (Chebulinskiy and Izhmorskiy municipal districts of Kemerovo region (Kuzbass).
