The mineral resource base of diamonds, precious and base metals of the Siberian Federal District: The status and development prospects

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The paper examines the status of the mineral resource base of diamonds, precious (gold, silver, and platinum group metals), and base (nickel, cobalt, copper, lead, and zinc) metals (DPBM group) of the Siberian Federal District, as of January 1, 2024. The reproduction of the mineral resource base at the expense of all funding sources is analyzed for the period of 2020–2024. The risks that affect the long-term sustainability of the mineral resource base are shown. The need is substantiated to strengthen the early-stage geological exploration funded from the federal budget to increase the forecasted resources and to create an "exploration potential".
