Geological exploration in the Khanty-Mansiisk autonomous district-Yugra, as well as in Russia, is at the low-low-low level, the Director of the scientific analytical rational mining center of the Khanty-Mansiisk autonomous district Alexander Spielmann stated in an interview to the Samotlor-Express.
According to the center, in 2001, more than 1 million meters were covered by the prospecting and exploratory drilling and 19 deposits were discovered. In 2010, 271 thousand meters were covered and 4 deposits were discovered. “The operation volumes fell 4-5 times,” – the expert states. – If we not to provide at least 0.5 million meters of headway in Yugra by 2020, the geological exploration won’t be restores as an industry.
