Prospects for the development of the deposits of the Yuzhno-Yansky tin ore district

Abstract

A brief review of the mineral resource base of the native tin of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is given with a description of the economically important objects of the South Yansky tin ore region. The degree of assimilation of the mineral resource base of the tin in the Russian Federation is low. The undistributed fund has some high-grade ore deposits located within the region involved in the development. The most significant are the deposits of Burgachan, Ilintas, Alys-Khaya, which, together with prospecting ore occurrences, are considered as the basis for the creation of a large cluster for the extraction and production of tin. The involvement of these deposits in exploitation is hindered by their location in the specially protected natural area (SPNT) of Khotu. It is proposed to remove objects from the specially protected natural area.
