Abstract

In the mineral and raw material balance of the country and the Far Eastern Federal District, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) occupies a leading position in the reserves and extraction of a number of strategic types of minerals. To develop an effective policy of rational use and development of the mineral resource base of the Republic, to solve strategic and operational tasks in the sphere of subsoil use, it is necessary to provide the state bodies of the subsoil fund with economic and analytical materials in the current time and forecast mode. The basic element of these materials is the economic evaluation of mineral and raw materials potential on the basis of the analysis of the situation in the markets for mineral raw materials, taking into account the geological and economic zoning of the territory and the derivation of general information on an electronic cartographic basis. The creation of a system of geological and economic monitoring is possible as a result of stage-by-stage studies of its individual blocks and components, the basis of which is the assessment of mineral resources and geological and economic mapping. The main purpose of this study is to formulate a methodology for geological and economic regionalization to assess the mineral and raw material potential of the region on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The research method involves the development of a system of indicators characterizing the state of the mineral and raw materials base by types of raw materials and specific subsoil use facilities. The main results of the research are: the improvement of the geological and economic geological information methodology and estimation of the cost of geological exploration work to translate the forecast potential of minerals into explored reserves; calculation of the mineral and raw materials potential of reserves and forecasted resources of the main types of minerals on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
