Estimation of efficiency of development of copper and gold deposits of Krasnoyarsk North

The article presents the probable approach to the assessment of the availability of the mineral deposits. This approach is specially created for initial estimation of resourses and reserves of low degree of exploration. As the initial data the most significant parametres of a deposit are used, which can be proved more or less objectively. These parametres are valuable components in ore, volumes of ore reserves, strip ratio, mining technology. The results of preliminary economic estimation of efficiency of development of predicted gold and copper deposits of the Krasnoyarsk North are presented. Economic efficiency of development of investigated gold deposits is established. Development of deposits of copper is considered inefficient.
