The Gorevsk deposit contains 42.7 % of total stocks of lead and 2.5 % of stocks of zinc in Russia. The Gorevsk Mineral Concentration Plant extracted and processed 708 thousand tons of lead-zinc ore of which 43.2 thousand tons of lead and 11.6 thousand tons of zinc concentrate were processed in 2007. 70 % of the Russian coal reserves are located in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. This is about 20 % of the world’s coal reserves. Two world’s largest coal fields are located in the territory of the region: the Tunguska coal basin and the Kansk-Achinsk brown coal basin. About 13 % of the country’s coal and 10 % of CIS coal is extracted in the territory that makes up more than 35 million tons per year. The largest coal-field is the Kansk-Achinsk brown coal basin, the prospected reserves of which are more than 65 billion tons. Norilsk ore deposit area is unique in terms of cooper extraction, nickel and platinum group metals. On the basis of this deposit Norilsk “Mining and Metallurgical Plant” JSC – the world’s largest producer of nickel and metals of platinum group – was founded.

This particular enterprise is the largest supplier of non-ferrous and precious metals in the world market and completely meets the demands of Russia in copper, nickel, cobalt and metals of platinum group.

The Krasnoyarsk Krai ranks the second in Russia (the 1st is Tyumen Oblast) in initial total resources of oil, natural gas and condensate, which makes more than 53 billion tons of conditional hydrocarbons. In the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Taimyr and Evenkiya reserves of oil and gas of industrial categories C1 + C2 are estimated 2.4 billion tons and 1.7 trillion cubic meters correspondingly.

A number of oil and gas fields in the north of Turukhansk and in Angara Area are already prepared for industrial development. As for investment attractiveness, the basic projects in the oil-and-gas sector are connected with the industrial development of Turukhansko-Vankorskaya group of oil-and-gas deposits, Yurubcheno-Takhomskaya zone and gas deposits of the Lower Angara Area.

Raw-material base of oil and gas deposits will allow extracting up to 52 million tons of oil and gas in the Uniform gas system up to 25 billion cubic meters by 2017. Porozhinsk deposit, containing manganese oxide and manganese carbonate is one of the largest in Russia. The state balance of mineral stocks constitutes 29.4 million tons of manganese in oxide ores by categories C1+C2. The Krasnoyarsk Krai has a competitive raw-material base of rare metals and niobium pentoxide – Chuktukonskoye and Tatarskoye deposits.

The Krasnoyarsk Krai is also attractive in terms of extraction of such kinds of minerals as aluminum raw materials (Goryachegorsk deposit of nephelinic syenites stocks of ore is 738 million tons), antimony (Udereisk deposit, stocks of metal – 37.8 thousand tons), nickel and metals of platinum group (Kingashsk deposit, balance stocks of ore – 219.4 million tons, the prospected resources – 219.1 million tons), talc (Kirgiteiskoye deposit, balance stocks is 7.6 million tons), magnesite (Verhoturovskoye deposit, balance stocks is 110.7 million tons), phosphorite (Seibinskoye deposit, stocks of ore is 6.6 million tons), zeolite (Sahaptinskoye deposit, stocks of materials containing zeolite is 33.2 million tons) and others.

Forest resources

The area of forest resources of the Krasnoyarsk Krai (including Taimyr and Evenkiya Municipal Regions) is 155 781.2 thousand hectares (45.1 % of gross forest cover of the Siberian Federal District).

The industrial wood reserves of basic timber species are estimated at 11 120.22 billion cubic meters (36.4 % reserves of the Siberian Federal District, 13.6 % of the total reserves of Russia). Forests cover the 65.9 % of the Krai territory. 85.7 % of the Krai’s forests is coniferous species, 34.5 % – larch, 18.2 % – pine, 16.9 % – cedar, 10.7 % – birch, 8.8% – silver fir, 7.3 % – fir-tree, 3.6 % other wood species.

Water resources

The Yenisey River flows from the south to the north of the Krasnoyarsk Krai. The total number of lakes (with the area of more than 1 sq. km.) is 352. In the south of the Krai there is a complex of lakes with minerals and therapeutic muds. By 01 January 2007 the approved mineable reserves of water surface in the Krasnoyarsk Krai are 1 771.88 thousand cubic meters per day.

By January 01, 2007 approved mineable reserves of ground waters in the Krasnoyarsk Krai are 1 770.81 thousand cubic meters per day. In the Krasnoyarsk Krai the annual abstraction of water is 2 731.5 ml. m3; the effluent discharge is 2 424.2 ml. mi. By 01 January 2006 the approved mineable reserves of ground waters in the Krasnoyarsk Krai are 1 664.1 thousand m3 per day, 0.61 kmi per annum.

Recreation resources

Hydromineral resources are the basis of the sanatorium complex in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. Medical benefits drinking waters with high level of mineralization were found in the Rybinsk valley. Mineral waters of the Kansk-Taseevsk valley are quite various in their chemical composition. There is the cardiological sanatorium named “Krasnoyarskoe Zagorie” located near the Kanakovsk water-source.

There are three types of balneological resources (therapeutic muds): turfen, sapropelic and silt. “Ozero Tagarskoe” hospital specializes in pneumonic and tuberculosis treatment. It is situated in the therapeutic region of the town of Minusinsk. Health-improvement sanatorium, which is very popular for its therapeutic muds and waters is situated in the territory of Borovoe Lake (Plahino) in Abakan region.

More than 200 thousands rivers, lakes and water reservoirs contribute to the development of different types of water tourism (foldboating and whitewater rafting (the Mana River, the Sisim River), canoeing, rafting, kite surfing and yachting). The lakes of Verhne-Chulumskaya and Norilsk water systems, Mozharo-Tiberkulsky lakes as well as Krasnoyarsk water reservoir are rich in valuable fish species (taimen, nelma, goldilocks, broad whitefish, cisco, whitefish, peled, omul, grayling, vendace, pike, perch, carp, dace, etc.). Different kinds of the Krai’s biological resources significantly exceed the resources of the other regions of Russia. A lot of animals are available hunting resources: brown bear, reindeer, roe, maral, elk, wolf, hare, duck, goose, capercaillie, black game, tattler, thrush, etc.

Nowadays 150 caves are opened for public; among them there is the longest cave in Russia (50 km) – Oreshnaya. The Krasnoyarsk Krai has many especially protected territories: the Great Arctic State Nature Reserve, the Putoran State Nature Reserve, the Sayano-Shushensky State Nature Bioenvironmental Reserve, the Taimyr Bioenvironmental Nature Reserve, the Tungus Nature Reserve, the “Stolby” State Nature Reserve, the Central-Siberian Nature Reserve, National Park “Shushensky Bor”, the “Ergaki” Nature Park.

The Krasnoyarsk Krai has its share in the structure of known reserves of mineral resources and the structure of non-renewal exploitation in Russia.

The Krasnoyarsk Krai ranks the 1

in the rating of consumer potential among the Russian regions.
