History
The district is situated beyond the Polar circle in conditions, which can be called severe even in Chukotka. It includes mountainous north-eastern bank constantly covered with ice. The Shmidt District comprises Vrangel and Gerald islands. Geologically, they are Mesozoic. The Shmidt District is the youngest one, as it was established in 1973. It is middle by its size accounting for 70,900 km². The district population stands at 2,339 persons with the density of 0.04 persons per 1 km². Mys Shmidta with the population of 570 persons is its administrative center. The indigenous people – the Chukchee – account for 28.2% of the total district population. Internal sectors of the district have no permanent population and are used as reindeer pastures. Vrangel island is a reservation area and can not be used in economic activities.
Economics
The main economic activity is gold product. The district agro-industrial complex is represented by two companies.
Further plans of the district are associated with higher gold output. To achieve it, it is necessary to intensify the processing of ore fields and to carry out the appraisal of technogenic reserves. Power supplies for the future normal functioning of mining companies should reach 5 megawatt. Meeting of these demands will ensure the development of diesel stations and mini-thermal power plants using local coal.
Investment attractiveness of the district is expected to be raised by a program for the autoroads development.
Currently three gold-producing companies are active on the territory of the Shmidt District. The 2005 gold output stood at 1,625 kg.
