The head of RosGeo emphasized that mineral resources used to be and remain the main economic base for development of the Arctic, Eastern Siberia and Far East, noticing that today this is the very macroregion, where the prospects for discovery of both new oil and gas provinces and metal deposits for the new economy are concentrated, and it is impossible for decarbonization programs to get implemented without its engagement.
Sergei Gorkov said: “Almost all known mineral deposits in the Far East and Eastern Siberia were discovered by RosGeosubsidiaries, while the potential for discovering new reserves is very high. I am quite positive that most of the promising areas, where we are currently conducting the geological exploration will become deposits, and mining enterprises with investments and technologies will come there, the regions will receive taxes and new jobs”.
The head of RosGeo made an announcement of a large session to be held at Sochi Investment Forum dedicated to the prospects of geological exploration in the regions of Eastern Siberia and the Far East.
Sergei Gorkov, as the Chairman of the Russian-Emirates Business Council, emphasized the importance of demonstrating the prospects of the Russian Arctic and the Far East to potential investors from the UAE and promised that REBC would provide all possible support to the contacts between businessmen from Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
