Abstract
The Russian Far East is sometimes cited as a potential mineral treasure house. It is well endowed with many minerals, including gold, platinum, diamonds, tin, tungsten, copper, lead, zinc, silver, coal and nonmetals. In terms of both their tonnages and grades, many of these deposits are world-class deposits.1 Significant tonnages of tin and tungsten are already mined, but these do not attract much interest from Western companies because of the market structures for those minerals.
