Criteria of the concept of sustainable development in the sphere of subsoil use are the preservation and improvement of the quality of the natural environment, achievement of a certain quality of life of the population, increasing the efficiency of environmental management. The investment base of the region was taken as the main object of the study, which is explained by its key importance for the process of development of mineral and raw material resources. The implementation of the concept of sustainable development of the economic system involves the creation of built-in mechanisms of stabilization, providing sustainable economic growth in the future. Such "stabilizer" can be financial resources of the Trust, formed at the expense of deductions of subjects of natural resource use from natural rent. It is proposed to calculate the size of the mountain rent as the balance of monetary funds generated in the process of field development. Calculation of cash flow forecast on a conditional example is given.
Sustainable development is the only process that provides, based on the rational use of natural resources, the optimal development of economic sectors, full employment of the population and the growth of people's standard of living. The concept of sustainable development today is, rather, a scientific concept of economics of nature management than a real scheme of economic growth and development. Therefore, in modern economic conditions, the study of the formation of the mechanism of sustainable development of the region seems extremely relevant. The article is devoted to the problems of forming a mechanism for the balanced development of the region, the basis of the economy of which are mineral resources. The problem under consideration is proposed to solve on the basis of the concept of sustainable development of the economic system, the criteria of which are to preserve or improve the quality of the environment, achieve a certain quality of life of the population and increase the efficiency of environmental management. The implementation of such approach is based on the investment strategy, which involves the possibility of using the financial resources of the trust fund, formed at the expense of deductions of subjects of natural resource use from the natural rent. The amount of financial resources of the trust fund is proposed to be determined by calculating the indicators of the cadastre of mineral deposits on the basis of the evaluation of cash flows.
