Abstract

The Karahcay-Cherkess Republic (North Caucasian Federal District, Russia) holds considerable mineral resources comprised of copper and tungestn, coal, raw materials for cement production, building and ornamental stone, sand and gravel materials, underground thermal, fresh and mineral water. The Republic operates such large plants as Urup Mining and Processing Integrated Works, Kavkaztsement Cement Works, Ust-Dzhegutisnky Gypsum Works, Khabes Gypsum Works, quarries of highly decorative ornamental stone and break stone. Nevertheless the Republic inefficiently uses its resource potential since mineral deposuts are located far from main transportational routes and probable consumers, as well as due to insufficient study of the available mineral occurrences. Recently new investors have come to the mining industry of the Republic, prospecting and geological exploration are revived at promising deposits and the accelerated industrial, social and economic development program is elaborated for the region.

keywords Karachay-Cherkess Republic, mineral and raw materials reserves, mineral resources, stock of raw materials.
