Legal and economic conditions of realization of products of geological study of subsoils
- Authors:
- B. V. Khakimov
The causes of insufficient exploration volumes in Russia are analyzed. The major of them is an erroneous notion of the exploration product in market conditions. The exploration product is proposed to be defined as the totality of the exploration results (information), guaranteed subsoil use right to perform the next stage (mining), and power of assigning (selling) this right to another subsoil user (mining company). The necessity of the separate legal regulation of different types of geological information (raw, reporting, survey, and reference) and free access to reference and survey information is substantiated

Mineral and raw material resources in the economy of Russia
- Authors:
- F. D. Larichkin
Most of researchers estimate the future as struggle for resources. With rational use of the available huge natural-resource potential Russia during several decades will have an advantage over economically developed countries, having less important or considerably exhausted natural resources. Everything will depend on how rational this time advantage will be used, how efficiently the problem of integration of natural resources and achievements of the scientific-technical progress will be solved in the country, with transition on this basis to use of resource-saving technologies of deep comprehensive processing of the entrails’ resources and manufacturing of products competitive at the world market and having high value added.

Geological and economic assessment of valuable nonferrous and rare metals in coals of Kuzbass
- Authors:
- V. A. Salikhov
- O. S. Krasnov
The geology-economic aspects of processing coal industry waste with recovering scarce metals from ash-slag waste in Kusbas are considered in the report. Geological, technological, and economic conditions are used as criteria for geology-economic assessment of the scarce metals according to the recommendations of UN reserve/resources classification. Based on the level of exploration, the presence of technologies for recovering scarce metals and the level of their demand, reserves of a number of scarce metals in ash-slag waste in Kuzbas can be evaluated as potentially economical, i.e. promising for recovering in short and medium-term prospect.

Effectiveness of the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use in the formation of subsoil use licensing system
- Authors:
- N. K. Nikitina
The review of publications on problems of strategic management has allowed to make a conclusion that efficiency of activity of the state bodies depends not so much on optimization of costs, how many from optimization of managerial processes. There is an objective necessity of transition for new area of management - the management focused on result. The management focused on result, is the control system connecting questions financial, personnel and operational management with expected results, and also achievement of the strategic purposes. It does not mean, that financial parameters become less important, it means, that they are necessary for balancing others - not financial parameters. This principle (the management focused on result) has allowed to broadcast concrete activity and strategy of Federal agency on subsoil use and its territorial bodies on maintenance of the state system of licensing of using with bowels in full enough set of parameters for an estimation of efficiency of this activity which actually forms system of the strategic control and management.

Cost estimation of subsurface sites on the basis of comparative approach
- Authors:
- N. M. Lobov
- O. N. Kasatkina
- S. A. Krylov
The Market Approach (Sales Comparison Approach) in mineral property valuation can boast easy-to-understand logic and yield reliable results. It can provide a reliable indication of a property's market value only if sufficient and representative data on arm’s lengths transactions with mineral properties that have similar characteristics are available. Official publications covering state bids are an essential source of this data. It is important to make sure that the bid be competitive and double-checked for compliance with the arm’s lengths criterion. Price per unit of reserves/resources is the most popular unit of comparison in mineral property valuation. Elements of comparison usually include physical and chemical properties, mineral quantity, applicable extraction and processing methods, geographic location with respect to availability of infrastructure and market for the product. To make models and calculate reliable adjustments, the data on similar mineral properties should be comparable and the elements of comparison selected on a uniform basis. It needs to collect some additional data on comparable mineral transactions.
