Russia recorded a significant increase in silver reserves. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, the volume of newly explored resources of the precious metal over a five-year period significantly exceeded actual production. In 2025, the positive dynamics continued – reserves increased by approximately 4 thousand tons. This figure was one of the highest in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The main contribution to the increase in the resource base was made by active geological exploration<\/a> work on existing fields. Refinement of Noyon-Tologoy made it possible to increase its potential by almost 2 thousand tons, and refinement of the geological model of Peschanka added about 1.3 thousand tons of silver. An important achievement was the inclusion of Unkursky in the state balance deposits<\/a> in the Trans-Baikal Territory, where not only significant reserves of silver were discovered, but also promising deposits of copper.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Investments in geological exploration are showing strong growth. Private investments in 2025 reached 36 billion rubles, which is more than 75% higher than in 2023. The state supported the early stages of exploration work, allocating about 2.5 billion rubles over three years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Activity at auctions in the field subsoil use<\/a> remains high. Based on the results of seven competitions held, the federal budget received over 6 billion rubles. Additional auctions are planned before the end of the year, including an auction for the right to develop deposits of precious metals in the Arkachan area.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The current silver resource base in Russia is estimated at 124 thousand tons, which are distributed among 610 deposits. More than 80% of all reserves are concentrated in the eastern regions of the country. The Trans-Baikal Territory holds the lead, containing in its depths more than a quarter of all-Russian silver resources. The steady growth of reserves strengthens Russia’s position in the global precious metals market.<\/p>\n\n\n
