Non-ferrous metals

Macroeconomic perspectives of the restoration of the branch:

Tin market exits a 20-year-long stagnation period and is growing rapidly. At the same time, demand is exceeding supply;
Long-term preservation of high growth rates of the electronics industry and integration of lead-free solders;
Main sales markets for tin in the countries of APR.

Internal prerequisites for the development of the sector:

16% of all Russian tin reserves are situated in Chukotka, experience of their exploration is also great there. There is a possibility of discovery of new large ore deposits;
Considerable growth of state investment into geological exploration within the next 10 years;
Possibility of replacement of import deliveries of tin for the growing Russian industry.

The program of economic development in Chukotka can be carried out, considers vice-premier of government CHAO M. Sobolev.

First of all, the long-term program leans on resources of peninsula. Let’s begin that geological resources of Chukotka are explored today on 10 %-17 %. The next regions are explored much better. And even on these, tentative estimations resources here can be found. The proved resources of gas on the Priosernoe deposit - 7,3 billion cubic meters. Oil resources are estimated approximately in 10 million tons, the proved stocks make 4 million tons of them. They are dispersed on small Fields, such, as Hatirskoe, where extraction is conducted by "Sibneft" company. But it is not necessary to dismiss a shelf – it’s insufficiently studied yet, but there are data, that it’s resources can make up to 14 billion tons of conditional fuel. Exxon Mobile Company in similar ice conditions, in Baffin bay has constructed 7 platforms. What prevents to construct them here?

Reindeer breeding can be profitable: E. Marochkin acting on the head of agriculture and foodstuffs department makes comments.

There was a moratorium on an industrial slaughter of deers in district till 2006. But now it is removed, farms have allocated a contingent for commodity slaughter this year. It is planned to hand over in a trading network about 9 thousand deers this year. Within the limits of national project the agrarian and industrial complex have got slaughter area on terms of financial leasing which is assembled in Kanchalan. Basically its value is in that correctly cut production will receive a trade look and will answer all established norms. The livestock of deers for September, 1st - from above 183 thousand. It’s below the level of 1990 (490 thousand heads), nevertheless, in Chukotka a livestock grows on faster rates, than on Yamal, and it’s our main competitor. Potential market - not only Vladivostok, but also Japan, Korea, China. Reindeer breeding is, at least, preservation of a traditional way of life of native people and food safety of region and when sales volumes become great enough, branch can turn in profitable.
