In 2004, Vankorneft CJSC was formed to develop the Krasnoyarsk oil, gas and condensate field. This pool is considered the largest of all those opened and put into operation in the Russian Federation over the past 25 years.

Krasnoyarsk Territory: Vankor field

The pool is located in the Turukhansky district. It is located in the northern part Eastern Siberia, 142 kilometers from the city of Igarka. The Vankor oil and gas field has an area of ​​416.5 km2. Billing period its operation life is 35 years. As of January 1, 2014, the volume of initial recoverable reserves amounted to 500 million tons of oil, 182 billion m 3 of gas (dissolved with natural gas).

Power

As of December 31, 2010, the total oil reserves in categories C2 and ABC1 of the domestic classification amounted to 3.5 billion barrels, gas reserves - about 74 billion m 3. The pipeline has a design capacity of about 30 million tons/year. In 2011, 15 million tons of oil were produced in the basin. By 2014, it was expected to achieve a capacity of 70 thousand per day, 25 million tons per year. By August 2009, the projected profit was $80 billion. By the completion of the ESPO pipeline, an increase in raw material production was planned. In August 2009, the Vankor field produced 18 thousand tons per day. For 2012, it was planned to increase production to 18 million tons - compared to 2011 (15 million tons). The growth in indicators was ensured by drilling new wells using the latest technologies and development methods. In 2010, it was planned to produce 12.5 million tons. At the end of the year, the Vankor field produced 12.7 million tons. It was planned for 2014 maximum level in terms of production - 25 million tons.

Specifications

As of August 2009, only 88 wells had been drilled at the Vankor field. 44 of them were operational. A total of 425 wells are planned for the project. Of these, 307 are assumed to be horizontal. Oil from the field enters the Vankor-Purpe pipeline, and then goes into the Transneft system. Supplies to the Far East from the basin were planned to be carried out via the Eastern Pipeline. The Vankor-Purpe system was put into test operation in the second half of 2009. The length of the section was 556 km, the diameter of the pipe was 820 mm. The system connected the Vankor field with the Transneft pipeline.

Geology

In accordance with the zoning system, the Vankor deposit is located within the Pur-Taz region and is part of the West Siberian geological province. The basin is tectonically confined to the uplift of the same name in the northern section of the Lodochny Shaft, which complicates the southern region in the Bolshekhetsky structural terrace of the Nadym-Taz syneclise. Sand fractions are found in productive horizons. They are confined to the Lower Cretaceous layers of the Yakovlevskaya and Lower Kheta formations. The top of the Dolgan formation contains accumulations of non-industrial gas.

How did the Vankor field begin to function?

Reviews from workers who worked here at the very beginning speak of the vigorous activity of the enterprise. The pool was opened in 1988. The first exploration geologists were Kichigin, Krinin, Kuzmin, Bidenko, Tretyak, Martynovsky. Since its discovery, work has never stopped at the field. In July 2008, a dry well was drilled at the Zapadno-Lodochny site. Almost immediately after this, the management of the enterprise changed. The company was headed by A. Dashevsky. He was once the head of the oil and gas production department at Rosneft. Specialists from various fields were involved in the development, operation and maintenance of the pool different regions countries. Most The staff consisted of employees from Bashkortostan. Industrial operation began on August 21, 2009. According to the project, it was planned to launch the field at the end of 2008, but it was postponed to the third quarter of 2009.

Village

There is a watch going on there. The Vankor field is located in a remote area. In this regard, delivery of people to the village is carried out by winter road or by air. In the latter case, only helicopters are used. You can fly from Tarko-Sale, Korotchaev, Igarka. From December to May, travel is carried out on the winter road. There is mobile communication in the village. Beeline and MTS operators work here. Tariffing is carried out according to the rules applicable to Krasnoyarsk region. There is also a network of roads in the area. The main one leads from the Camp 1220 temporary settlement and helipad to the Pre-Dump Facility. It is covered with concrete slabs. Other roads are unpaved.

Life and activities of people

Many people want to get to the Vankor field. Reviews from those who have visited here are generally positive. Among the advantages, people note high wages. The disadvantages of living here include high fines for various violations. Thus, smoking is prohibited in the field, and you cannot use washing powder (only soap). In winter, according to employees, it is quite difficult here. Firstly, this concerns roads. Concrete plates turn into a skating rink, which increases the likelihood of an accident. In spring, dirt roads become impassable. As for the flight to the village itself, the speed of delivery of people depends on weather conditions. Sometimes you have to wait for a helicopter for weeks. In general, the work is no different from activities at any other similar field. Vacancies open here from time to time.

Prospects

Today, more than three thousand people work at the field, average age of which - 35 l. The company faces the task of increasing the share of local specialists. This can be realized through professional training. New specialties for the oil industry have now been introduced in Krasnoyarsk technical schools and colleges. In cities, preparatory classes are formed for school students. They begin the vocational guidance of young people under the “School-Institute-Enterprise” program, which has been in effect since 2005. Since 2012, more than 400 places for specialists have been created. This is due to the commissioning of new field facilities.

Finally

With the discovery of the deposit, a new historical period began for the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The region's economy began to develop in a new direction. The Krasnoyarsk Territory currently has the status of an oil-producing region. The preparation and launch of the facilities was carried out with the participation of the best domestic design institutes. Equipment for the field was supplied by 150 companies, including 65 manufacturing plants. About 90% of the technical equipment of the pool was carried out by domestic enterprises. ZAO Vankorneft acts as a customer for more than 70 companies in the region. In turn, these enterprises involve organizations in related industries (mechanical engineering, metallurgy, construction, transport, etc.) in their activities.

The Vankor project is characterized by a multiplier effect - for one place in the oil industry, 3-4 are formed in the service sectors. Since 2004, cooperation has been carried out with the production region on the basis of social responsibility and partnership. In accordance with a long-term agreement between the Rosneft company and the regional leadership, significant amounts of money are allocated annually for the implementation of various public and industrial activities. The mining enterprise, among other things, as part of its charity, supports widows and veterans of the Second World War, indigenous peoples of the North, and allocates funds for sports and cultural events.

2. The state of the gold mining industry in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

Conclusion

Introduction

The topic of this test is “Development of the gold mining industry.”

Note that the factory industry of Krasnoyarsk in the 19th century was based on capital received mainly from income from gold mining and trade and usury activities; It is no coincidence that the owners of the first factories and factories - the Gadalovs, Kuznetsovs, Danilovs, Plotnikovs - were both gold miners and merchants.

In Krasnoyarsk itself there were offices of large gold mining companies - I.F. Bazilevsky. G.V. Yudina, S.V. Vostrotin, the Kuznetsovs' partnership (the Kuznetsovs' farmstead has been preserved - Mira Ave., 87, 24; the house of G.V. Yudin - Uritsky St., 123).

A significant part of the urban bourgeoisie went to work in the mines to earn money.

Thus, in 1875, the number of otkhodniks amounted to 811 people, and the wages of unskilled workers amounted to 70-100 rubles for the season, which lasted from April to October. gold mine profitability

The gold industry, through market connections, stimulated the development of urban industry and trade, and therefore its decline in 1870-80 had a negative impact on the state of the urban economy, causing a reduction in industries and trade.

Further, the gold mining industry of the USSR developed according to its own specific laws. The current position and development prospects of each enterprise in the industry depended mainly on its success in fulfilling planned targets for production volumes, and therefore the existence of obviously unprofitable mines was allowed. Alluvial deposits of Siberia were actively developed, Far East and the Northeast, which accounted for up to 70% of the country's gold production, despite the fact that their reserves were limited. In economic terms, it was not large companies, as all over the world, who worked more efficiently, but small mining cooperatives. The high productivity of these enterprises was based not only on the personal interest and hard work of workers, but also on the use of relatively cheap fuel and inexpensive equipment. At the same time, the State Geological Service carried out systematic and systematic exploration of the country's territory, creating or expanding the mineral resource base of mining enterprises at the expense of the budget.

So, the purpose of this work is to consider the development of the gold mining industry in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, its condition, problems and prospects.

Test objectives:

· Consider the state of the gold resource base in the Krasnoyarsk Territory;

· Determination of the state of the gold mining industry in the Krasnoyarsk Territory;

· Identification and consideration of some problems in the development of gold mining in the region.

1. The state of the gold resource base in the Krasnoyarsk region

If in Russia as a whole the balance reserves of gold categories A+B+C1 are 5.8 thousand tons, and C2 - 2.4 thousand tons, then the Krasnoyarsk Territory occupies one of the first places in the country in balance reserves - 789 tons (more than 13%), predicted gold resources (more than 20%). The mineral resource base of the gold mining industry of the region consists of 68 actual gold ore deposits, 3 complex gold-bearing deposits and 234 alluvial deposits. The total resource potential of these gold-bearing objects, according to various estimates, ranges from 19 to 28% of the Russian one.

The priority place (93% in terms of reserves and 95.4% in terms of predicted resources) is made up of ore gold deposits. The share of placer deposits in the gold resource potential in the region, as follows from the above figures, is relatively small.

The resource base of ore gold in the region, when transferred to reserves of industrial categories, will allow for many years to maintain and increase a high level of gold production. The supply of active reserves of placer gold is about 5 years.

In the region, the main areas of distribution of gold deposits are the Yenisei Ridge, the Angaro-Kan region, the Eastern and Western Sayans. In the future, the Yenisei Ridge will apparently remain a leading gold-mining region, since the main resource potential and almost all existing gold-mining capacities are concentrated here.

The main volumes of geological exploration work for gold are now concentrated here, carried out both in budget resources, and at the expense of subsoil users. The total gold resources of the Yenisei Ridge are 1,570 tons. The Angaro-Kan gold-bearing region, having a smaller resource base than the Yenisei Ridge, has a more favorable geographical location, which puts it among the most promising areas. There are three ore clusters in it: Posolnensky, Kuzeevsky and Bogunaisky.

The study of the region made it possible to estimate its resources mainly in low categories, in the amount of 336 tons. The Eastern Sayans are the largest gold-bearing province in the region after the Yenisei Ridge.

The data obtained in recent years allows us to expect a significant increase in the ore base here, primarily in the Mansky gold-bearing region, in which mineralized gold-bearing zones have been identified.

The Sisim gold-bearing region has a similar geological structure, where prospecting work can lead to a significant increase in the resource base. For the Verkhne-Kansky gold-bearing region quantification ore gold potential was not carried out.

Here, concomitant gold content in copper-nickel ores has been established, as well as a new platinum-bearing gold-sulfide type of mineralization in the komatiite-basalt strata of the Cannes greenstone belt, which is new for the region. The presence of rich gold placers in the area allows us to count on the discovery of indigenous sources. The total gold resources of the Eastern Sayan Mountains are 250 tons.

The Western Sayans, due to their remoteness and inaccessibility, are a little-studied gold-bearing province. Here it is necessary to conduct research starting from the earliest stages.

Several formational types of gold occurrences have been identified in Taimyr, of which areas of polychronous ore genesis are of interest. A number of gold-mercury occurrences are known in the central part of Taimyr, the most significant of which are Uzkoe and Izvilistoe.

On Bolshevik Island, the main occurrences of ore gold are concentrated in the southeastern part and are confined to a northeast-trending zone with a length of about 30 km and a width of more than 4 km.

On Bolshevik Island, in almost all large valleys, floodplain placers with a length of 10-30 km with industrial parameters are installed.

For three such deposits, reserves have been calculated and approved. The raw material base of placer gold is 45-50 tons. The total potential of the province can be estimated at a few thousand tons of gold.

The little-studied Anabar gold-bearing province can be considered as a reserve base for the gold mining industry, focused on eluvial, to a lesser extent alluvial placers and primary gold-quartz mineralization.

In the North Yenisei region of the region there is a unique (second in terms of gold reserves in Russia) Olimpiadinskoye deposit, in which proven gold reserves are estimated at 3.1 million ounces.

The total proven ore reserves in the ore reserves category are 20.6 million tons, probable - 71.3 million. The gold content in the ore is 4.6 grams per ton.

A promising feature of the Olimpiada deposit is the presence of areal and linear weathering crusts. The deposit of gold-bearing weathering crusts with a gold content of 8-10 g/t against the background of 3-4 g/t primary ores has a complex morphology with a significant depth along a large fault; such enriched areas are a priority target for mining. The Kvartsevaya Gora deposit, located 40 km from Olimpiada, is also promising.

Recently, the Polus ZDK became the winner of the auction for this facility. The one-time payment for the right to use subsoil amounted to 1.68 million rubles. Plot area - 2.8 sq. km.

Ore gold of Quartz Mountain belongs to the gold-quartz low-sulfide formation. Three stockwork-vein zones of northeastern strike are identified at the deposit.

Their length is 850-1100 m along strike and 240-515 m along dip, the width of exposure to the surface ranges from tens of meters to 220 m. The thickness of individual vein bodies is about 2.5 m, and the thickness of vein-stockwork zones is up to 37 m. Contents gold in individual samples - 100 g/t or more. Sulfide content 0.5-5.0%.

They are mainly represented by arsenopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. The deposit is estimated to have on-balance reserves of category C2 in the amount of 8.3 tons and conditionally off-balance reserves of 4.2 tons with a gold content of 4.6 and 2.6 g/t, respectively. Inferred resources are estimated in categories P1+P2 in the amount of 42-47 tons with an average gold content of 2.2-3.6 g/t. With open-pit ore mining volumes of 300 thousand tons per year and the production of 966 kg of gold, the necessary capital investments are estimated by experts at 20.2 million dollars, the profitability index of invested capital is 1.0, net discounted profit is 338 thousand dollars / year . 000 Sovrudnik is provided with low-quality reserves for 5-7 years.

Due to the low quality of the ores and the remoteness of the main mining sites from gold mining factories, this enterprise operates at the limit of profitability.

In general, a number of gold miners (for example, Artyomovskaya Gold Mining Company, etc.) have a very difficult situation with the availability of active reserves.

Placer gold reserves in the region are divided into two groups according to mining methods: for hydromechanical mining (more than 55%) and for dredge mining (about 45%). For alluvial gold, there is a steady tendency for its raw material base to deplete.

It should be emphasized that significant investments are made annually in the development of the mineral resource base of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The amount of federal budget funds invested in geological exploration work in the region has increased in recent years.

Already in 2000, as a result of geological exploration work, the increase in gold reserves in the Krasnoyarsk Territory exceeded production volumes, and this trend continues. There is an increase in the volume of financing of geological exploration work at the expense of subsoil users. The effective use of these funds is carried out through licensing and exploration programs developed for the region.

An example of successful activity is the work of Polyus CJSC. So, during 2000-2004. The geological exploration team of Polyus JSC carried out prospecting and assessment work on the Olimpiadinskaya area. As a result of these works, the previously identified Blagodatnoye ore occurrence (northern area) was reassessed and a new one was discovered - southern section, including 4/5 of the reserves of the entire field.

In the fall of 2005, the gold mining company Polyus successfully passed the state examination of gold reserves at the Blagodatnoye deposit, located 26 km north of Olimpiada.

According to the results of the examination, gold reserves of categories B+C1+C2 in the open pit area in the amount of 222.4 tons with an average content of 2.4 grams per ton were placed on the state balance sheet for the Blagodatnoye deposit. In addition, off-balance reserves of category C2 in the amount of 42 tons are taken into account in the quarry contour, and in the amount of 89.9 tons beyond the quarry contour.

The predicted resources of the P1 category deposit amounted to 117 tons. This event can be considered a landmark event for the entire Russian gold mining industry: for the first time in modern Russian history, a subsoil user carried out large-scale exploration and listing of the reserves of a large gold ore object.

This not only replenished the gold production of Polyus CJSC over 25 years of work in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (about 170 tons), but also ensured a significant reproduction of its reserves in the region.

Polyus is also successfully carrying out geological exploration work at the Panimbinsky gold mining cluster. Plot area of ​​66 sq. km located in the North Yenisei region.

The license for it was issued to Polyus in December 2004. Five occurrences of ore gold were identified within the boundaries of the site: Panimbinskoye, Pravoberezhnoe, Mikhailovskoye, Zolotoe and Tavrik. Their reserves and resources are planned to be further explored in the coming years.

It is expected that the Panimba node will produce up to 300 kg of gold per year. In 2005, Polyus increased the number of areas where exploration is carried out. For example, 48 million rubles were invested in the exploration of the Titimukhta gold deposit in just nine months of 2005. In addition, geological exploration work in order to prepare for industrial development is being carried out at the Tyradinskoye and Olenye gold deposits.

In total, in 2005, for example, the Polyus company spent more than $30 million on geological exploration. The development strategy of Polyus over the next 5 years provides for serious investments in geological exploration, where it is planned to invest about $140 million.

According to the company's management, this figure reflects minimal required level and can be significantly increased to $200 million. Trans Siberian Gold Company increased gold reserves at the Veduga deposit by 19%. The Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia invites companies to continue the geological study of the Tumninskaya area in the Kuraginsky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Applications for this promising gold-bearing area have begun. The metal here is mainly ore, but there is also placer gold. The total resources of the area are 32 tons (including 30 tons of ore gold).

It should be noted that advanced exploration of deposits is general need for advanced replenishment of the region's raw material base. Today there is a certain turn to the previously dominant position of the state: “Whoever needs it, let him explore.”

And it is right. It is shown above that large gold miners, such as Polyus CJSC, are able to successfully conduct geological exploration at their own expense.

But there are also small cooperatives, especially “placers”, which cannot afford this.

Therefore, in order to increase the investment potential of the region and increase gold mining, geological exploration work should be carried out at the expense of the budget. After all, every ruble invested in geology yields more than 150 rubles of reserves in the subsoil. A condition for the development of geological exploration is the removal of administrative barriers.

Today, after a company wins an auction for a field, it sometimes takes a year to obtain a license and other bureaucratic procedures before drilling rigs can enter the area. Therefore, more rapid regulation of environmental management is necessary.

2. The state of the gold mining industry in the Krasnoyarsk region

Gold mining in the region is one of the oldest and specialized industries, operating for more than 150 years. In recent years, a “gold boom” has been growing in the world - production and prices for gold are growing steadily. This trend also affects the state of the gold mining industry in the region. Since 2003, the region has taken first place in gold mining, becoming the “golden heart” of Russia. Half of Siberian gold is mined here. The growth rate of Russian gold mining is higher than the world average, and in the region over the past 5 years the average annual growth rate was about 7%. The region remains the leader in gold mining, currently producing about 18% of the total Russian production.

The region's gold mining complex includes more than three dozen enterprises concentrated in 12 administrative districts. The industry has developed about one and a half hundred deposits. If in 1991-95 6-7 tons of gold were mined annually, then since 1996 production began to increase. In 1999, it reached 18 tons of gold per year, and even greater growth has been observed in recent years (Fig. 1). In the future, production is predicted to remain at the level of 30-32 tons per year. Such rates of growth in production volumes are not observed in any of the industries of the region or Russia as a whole.

The largest enterprises are: Polyus CJSC, Priisk Drazhny LLC, Sovrudnik LLC, Severnaya JSC, SAGMK JSC, Angara JSC and Tsentralnaya JSC. They provide the vast majority of production. The main gold mining region of the region is the Lower Angara region, where more than 90% of the metal is mined. The main production centers are Eruda, Razdolinsk, Partizansk, Severo-Yeniseisk, Yuzhno-Yeniseisk. Gold mining and processing account for up to 10% of all taxes in the region. The largest gold producer is CJSC Polyus.

At the same time, about 90% of production comes from ore deposits, mainly from Olimpiadinskoye. Large-scale gold mining is possible there within 30 years. A further increase in gold production in general is planned mainly on the basis of primary deposits. In addition to Polyus, in recent years a significant contribution to the increase in gold production has been made by such enterprises as Sovrudnik LLC, Priisk Drazhny LLC and Krasnoyarsk GGK OJSC. CJSC ZDK Polyus, after commissioning in 2002 the second stage of a processing plant with a capacity of 4 million tons of ore per year, basically maintains its production volume at the level of 25 tons of gold per year. The development prospects of CJSC ZDK Polyus are associated with an increase in gold recovery capacity factories at the Olimpiada field up to 9.5 million tons per year. In 2005, the level of production at the Olimpiada deposit amounted to more than 1 million tons of oxidized ore and about 5 million tons of sulfide ore. The Polyus company is thus a leading Russian manufacturer gold, one of the world's largest producers in terms of raw material base and production volumes. In general, the portfolio of assets of the Polyus group includes more than one and a half dozen ore deposits and about a hundred placer deposits.

The growth of gold mining in the region in the coming years may also be associated with the development of such enterprises as CJSC ZDK Zolotaya Zvezda and OJSC Vasilyevsky Mine. CJSC ZDK Zolotaya Zvezda launched a pilot plant in 2002 heap leaching at the Babushkina Gora deposit. At the same time, this enterprise prepared the Bogolyubovskoye gold deposit, the resources of which are estimated at 70 tons of gold, for industrial development. OJSC Vasilyevsky Mine is completing the construction of a mining and metallurgical complex with a capacity of 300 thousand tons of ore per year on the basis of the Vasilievsky and Nikolaevsky gold ore deposits. Gold reserves of categories B+C1+C2 at the Vasilyevskoye deposit are estimated at approximately 23 tons, category P1 - about 25 tons, the average gold content is 7.0-7.5 g/t. The ore bodies have a length of up to 0.7 km and a thickness of 1.0 to 15.0 m. At the Nikolaevskoye deposit, the main gold reserves are concentrated in one quartz vein with a length of about 1.5 km and an average thickness of about 4 m.

In addition, now OJSC Vasilyevsky Mine has increased its gold mining assets by acquiring LLC GPK Samson in 2004, as well as receiving licenses for geological study, exploration and production of the Ilyinsky and Nizhne-Talovsky gold ore occurrences and the Gerfed deposit. The enterprise's supply of active reserves is about 5 years. In 2005, 81 kg of gold was mined in the Eldorado quarry (Sovrudnik LLC) in the North Yenisei region. In 2004, during a test run, only 3.6 kg of precious metal was extracted. An increase in the extraction of precious metal from low-grade ores over the past year was achieved using the introduced heap leaching technology. In 2006, it is planned to extract over 200 kg of gold using this technology.

Previously, gold mining in the North Yenisei region was carried out from placer deposits by a dredge fleet and from ore deposits by a gold recovery factory. In 2006, it is planned to resume gold mining on the Chirimba River in the North Yenisei region. Now one of the gold mining enterprises in the territory, AS Priisk Drazhny LLC, is moving a dredge to Chirimba and obtaining a license to work on the river. Gold mining in this area has been carried out since the times of Soviet power, but ceased in the 90s. It is expected that in 2006, a license will be obtained, and dredge No. 18 will be transferred to a new site. On the Chirimba River, gold mining can only be carried out using the dredge method. In the Taimyr-Severozemelsky gold-bearing province, gold mining from complex sulfide ores is carried out as a by-product and does not exceed 4.5 tons.

Speaking about the development of the gold mining industry, one cannot fail to mention the restructuring processes taking place in it. As you know, in the fall of 2002, Norilsk Nickel bought 100% of the shares of Polyus CJSC from Khazret Sovmen for $230 million. Since then, the largest gold producer in Russia and the tenth among the world's gold miners - taking into account new acquisitions in 2003 - became "Norilsk Nickel". The purpose of MMC Norilsk Nickel's penetration into the gold mining industry was the desire to balance the group's revenue. However, the "gold" assets of Norilsk Nickel were recently separated into a separate company. This led to a more adequate valuation of shares of both Polyus and and Norilsk Nickel. Due to the fact that gold mining is more highly profitable business than nickel mining, the financial indicators of the new company will obviously differ from those of the parent company for the better. On Russian market Polyus Gold shares will appear this year. Regarding the activities of Polyus, mention should be made not only of the annual billion-dollar tax revenues to the regional and local budgets, but also of the charitable sustainable development program of 24 million rubles, which provides for responsible environmental management, with the publication of reports in the G.I. format and a set of activities to alleviate social tension in the region.

Regarding the investment potential of the region, it should be noted that there are currently about 80 deposits and occurrences of gold that can be put up for auction. However, not all of them are attractive to investors. In 2004-2005 In the region, licenses were issued for the Udereyskoye gold-antimony deposit (Novoangarsk Enrichment Plant LLC), the Pervenets deposit (Tamsiz OJSC) and the Bogunaevskoye deposit (Angarsk Production Company LLC).

A number of these sites require additional exploration to confirm reserves. CJSC ZDK "Polyus" received a license for geological exploration and subsequent mining at one of the sites of the Zyryanovsky ore cluster in the Yenisei region, the Razdolinsky ore cluster in the Motyginsky region and the Noybinskaya area in the North Yenisei region. Trans-Siberian Gold, which proposed building a Veduga mine with reserves of 2.8 million ounces of gold, recently announced that the development project would only be profitable if it cost less than $220 million. and subject to a significant reduction in production costs.

The government included in the federal property privatization program for 2006 the state stake in Yeniseizoloto OJSC. It is planned to sell 85.38% of the company's shares, which are in federal ownership. Note that back in 2004, the regional branch of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research already put this package up for auction, but it never took place due to a lack of applications.

The starting price of the package was then more than 56 million rubles. The processes described above, which are a reflection economic policy, will ultimately influence whether the “golden heart” of Russia will remain in the Krasnoyarsk Territory? In our opinion, there are all the prerequisites for this. By 2010, the region plans to increase gold production by 40% compared to 2003, which is expected to be achieved primarily through the development of the Olimpiadinskoye deposit and adjacent areas. With the increase in gold production, its processing at OJSC Krasnoyarsk Non-Ferrous Metals Plant named after V.N. Gulidov will also increase. The planned increase in processing in 2010 to the 2003 level should be 23%. Thus, the gold mining industry of the region looks confidently into the future.

3. On some problems in the development of gold mining in the region

Despite the undoubted successes, the gold mining industry of the region has problems, the solution of which requires integrated approach. Many placer deposits in the region are on the verge of profitability. Although indigenous objects have a margin of safety, they require “long-term” loans.

If “placers” can get loans for a season, then to work on a primary deposit, loans are needed for several years in order to have time to “get on their feet” during this time and begin to repay loans. It is possible to work in primary deposits with a good profit if you introduce modern advanced production and processing technologies. At the same time, if energy prices rise uncontrollably, problems will arise.

For “placers” this is simply death, because the gold content in placers is low. They survive miraculously; in some old deposits, gold is washed out many times. A condition for the development of the gold mining industry is a reduction in tax pressure. The mineral extraction tax in Russia is higher than the world average. Therefore, changes are needed in Tax Code RF regarding the introduction of a differentiated mineral extraction tax rate depending on the mining, geological and economic conditions of deposit development.

It is also necessary to exempt those companies that operate in the Far North from paying taxes on part of the profits allocated for technical re-equipment. It is also advisable to widely attract domestic and foreign investments, banks, and mining companies interested in making a profit from gold mining. Restrictions on access should also be lifted individuals as individual entrepreneurs in geological exploration and gold mining.

The main condition for the development of the gold mining industry is advanced geological exploration work aimed at improving the raw material base of the region. For their successful implementation A whole range of measures is needed, the most important of which are:

intensification of geological exploration with technical re-equipment of geological enterprises, including their laboratory facilities;

widespread use in practice of scientific results, achievements and recommendations of scientists, especially Siberian school geologists;

Identification and preparation for exploitation of new unconventional gold deposits;

Geological and economic reassessment of the reserves of a number of deposits with the identification of their “active” part, which makes it possible to profitably develop these objects in modern economic conditions;

Assessment of the resulting gold-bearing man-made objects and improvement of the technology for extracting metal from them, incl. located in the permafrost zone;

Comprehensive solution of environmental issues related to gold mining, especially in the environmentally vulnerable northern regions of the region.

Conclusion

For the region, the priority types of primary gold deposits, which should be primarily targeted by prospecting and evaluation work, are gold-sulfide, gold-platinum-copper-nickel, gold-quartz, gold-bearing weathering crusts and gold-antimony.

For placer objects these will be: buried placers, placers associated with weathering crusts, karst-basin placers, placers in deposits of sand-gravel mixtures and technogenic placers. At the same time, the selection of priority areas for carrying out prospecting and appraisal work for gold should be based not only on geological criteria. Socio-economic and geo-ecological aspects should be taken into account, as well as the need to create infrastructure for the construction of new mining enterprises.

The latter was especially emphasized during a meeting on the development of the gold mining industry held in Magadan at the end of 2005 with the participation of Russian President V.V. Putin. And I want to believe that the problems that are hindering the further development of the industry will be successfully resolved.

Graphite, thermoanthracite. Graphite reserves are 86.5 million tons, resources are 264.8 million tons; thermoanthracite reserves – 41.9 million tons, resources – 178.1 million tons. All deposits and manifestations are located in the western part of the Tunguska coal-bearing basin, where two graphite-bearing regions are distinguished: Kureysky and Noginsky. Kureyskoe The graphite deposit has balance reserves of industrial categories in the amount of 9.8 million tons. Noginskoe The deposit with balance reserves of 1.6 million tons of graphite provided, until recently, the need for raw materials of the Krasnoyarsk graphite factory. Thermoanthracite together with graphite is installed only in Seregen field and in Taimyr. Since 1931 it has been worked out Noginskoe field.

Magnesite. Within the Yenisei Ridge there is Udereysky magnesite-bearing region with predicted resources of 352 million tons, where deposits have been explored in detail Kirgiteyskoe, Talskoe, Verkhoturovskoe . Currently, the Kirgitey group of deposits is being developed in the region by the North-Angarsk MMC, and the Verkhoturovskoye deposit by JSC Stalmag. Talc. Verkhoturovskoe And Kyrgytian Place of Birth. Verkhoturovskoe - reserves 65.6 million tons. Kirgiteyskoe deposit (industrial h reserves 7.6 million tons). In 1992, quarry production was started (TEAO "Sitalk"). Since 1997, the deposit has been developed by ZAO Microtalk. In 1999, talc production amounted to 8 thousand tons.

Zeolites. This is a relatively new type of mineral raw material that has unique properties adsorption and ion exchange, which determines wide areas of its application. Due to the lack of explored deposits, synthetic ones were widely used (natural ones are 20-200 times cheaper than the latter). Currently, clinoptilolite, mordenite, chabazite, ferrierite, erionite, and phyllipite are of practical value. The total reserves of zeolites of 73 million tons are concentrated in two deposits of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: Pashensky And Sahaptinsky . A license was issued to the Nika enterprise for the study and extraction of this raw material.

Optical and piezo-optical raw materials. The largest spar-bearing province is located within the administrative boundaries of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (in Evenkia). The area of ​​the province is about 100 thousand km2, within which a unique Lower Tunguska region has been identified, where almost all the recorded reserves of optical calcite in the country are concentrated. In total, 29 objects are known within its boundaries, some of which are large industrial deposits. Iceland spar accumulations (clusters and veins) are associated with globular lavas. General reserves are assessed as unique. Field Crystal located in Vanavar district, Babkinskoe and Levoberezhnoe (operated) near Tura.

Diamonds. Industrial concentrations of kimberlite-type diamonds were discovered in the middle reaches of the river. Podkamennaya Tunguska in the Nizhne-Tychanskaya (300-400 million carats) and Tarydakskaya areas (350 million carats). According to experts, the diamond-bearing prospects of the region are commensurate with the Yakut province. Most large diamond Krasnoyarsk Territory weighing 700.6 mg (3.5 carats) was found in the alluvial placer of the river. Tychany (Evenkia). The diamond is an octahedral crystal with a strong alluvial matte and crescent-shaped cracks, and unfortunately, it is not of gem quality. It is known that 60% of diamonds found in Evenkia are of jewelry quality. Gem-quality diamonds weighing up to 2 carats are present in the Dogoi placer in the Khatanga region of the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug.

Impact diamonds. In the north of the region, within the Popigai ring structure (Khatanga region), unique deposits of impact industrial diamonds ( Percussion, Rock ). The deposits were discovered in 1973 during exploration work. In terms of total diamond reserves, this group of deposits exceeds all known diamond-bearing provinces in the world. Technological testing of Popigai diamonds has shown a wide range of uses, from surgical scalpels and soldering iron tips to rock cutting tools and high-quality abrasives. In terms of abrasive ability, impact diamonds exceed kimberlite and synthetic diamonds. The relative inaccessibility of the area and the weak interest in this type of raw material in the country have not allowed these deposits to be involved in development to date.

Colored stones. Borusskoe jadeite deposit (680 t) and Kantegirskoe jade deposit (18.5 tons, Shushensky district) and Kurtushibinskoe jade deposit (Ermakovsky district). Jade deposits are being prepared for mining. On the Siberian Platform there are deposits of agate, chrysolite and carnelian. Deposits of jade, jadeite, opal and chrysoprase have been established in Western Sayan. Pink tourmaline (rubellite) and pink talc were found on the Yenisei Ridge. In the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory there is amber and datolite (Norilsk industrial area). In the Minusinsk Basin - rhodusite-asbestos. In the central regions of the region - amethyst ( Nizhne-Kanskoye, Krasnokamenskoye ), coil- ( Verkhnesobolevskoe, Berezovskoe ) and marble onyx ( Torgashinskoe ).

Rock salt. Trinity and Kanarayskoe The deposits are located in the Taseevsky district.

Construction Materials:

Building stone. The balance reserve as of January 1, 1996 included 26 deposits, of which 15 deposits were developed in 1995. The largest production volume is noted in Kuraginsky – 305 thousand m3, Krutokachinsky – 273 thousand m3 and Arginsky – 185 thousand m3 of deposits. Kaolin. The main deposits and manifestations of this raw material are located in the Rybinsk depression of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Here is the previously developed Balayskoe deposit and currently being developed Kampanovskoe field. Refractory clays. Kampanovskoe deposit in the Uyarsky district. Cement and flux raw materials. For the production of cement and flux raw materials, two limestone deposits are being developed in the region: Torgashinskoe (Berezovsky district) and Mazulskoe (Achinsky district). For the Krasnoyarsk cement plant, clays are mined at Kuznetsovsky (Berezovsky district) field. In the Norilsk industrial region, limestone for cement and construction lime is mined at Calargonese deposit (Izvestnyakov mine) and flux sandstones - along the way Kayerkansky field. Sand and gravel materials. 39 deposits. 22 fields are being developed. The largest production volume in Terentyevsky, Peschanka, Berezovsky (eastern outskirts of Krasnoyarsk) and Filimonovsky (224 thousand m3). Gypsum and anhydrite mined in the Norilsk industrial region at Tikhoozersky (Gypsum Tikhoozersky mine), gypsum and Gorozubovsky (Anhydrite mine) anhydrite deposit. In the southern part of the region there are two gypsum deposits - Dodonkovskoe and Troitskoe (84.5 million tons). Expanded clay raw materials. There are 12 deposits on the balance sheet, of which two deposits are being developed: Kozulskoe (Kozul district) and Teptyatskoe (Achinsky district). Bentonite. Kamalinskoe field. Facing stone. Plot White marble marble deposits Kibik-Kordonskoe in the Shushensky district and Hromadske and Ushkanske granite deposits in the Uyarsky region.

Agronomic ores.

Agronomic ores include mineral raw materials, the properties of which are capable of increasing and restoring soil fertility, in particular phosphorites And apatite. Apatity. Yraass, Essei (73 million tons) and Maganskoye Apatite-magnetite deposits are located in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Phosphorites. In the southern part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory there are two deposits of phosphorites - Obladzhanskoe and Seybinskoe (6.5 million tons).

The groundwater:

As of September 1, 2007, 69 areas of fresh water deposits have been explored for domestic and drinking water supply to the population in the region. groundwater(approved by the State Reserves Committee, TKZ and accepted by the NTS), of which 31 sections of the field are exploited. The total amount of approved and accepted operational reserves in the territory of the region as of September 1, 2007 is 1885.009 thousand m 3 /day, including fresh groundwater (for domestic and drinking water supply) - 1884.033 thousand m 3/day, mineral waters- 0.976 thousand m 3 /day. Mineral water reserves in the amount of 0.976 thousand m 3 /day have been prepared for industrial development.
