The result of this work will be the transfer of the most significant reserves to the state balance. This will open up new opportunities for industrial development of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Particular attention will be paid to rare earth metals. The authorities of Buryatia showed interest in them even at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

In 2025, research will cover 29 promising territories in Siberia and the Far East. Work is planned in Yakutia, Trans-Baikal and Krasnoyarsk territories, Chukotka and the Magadan region.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These surveys are aimed at strengthening the country&#8217;s mineral resource base.
