Abstract
One of the competitive advantages of the Far Eastern Federal District is the presence of the largest natural resource reserves in the Russian Federation: 81% of diamond reserves, 51% of forests, 37% of fresh water, 33% of aquatic biological resources, 44% of gold, 27% of gas and 17% of oil.It also occupies a unique economic and geographical position in the Russian Federation and in the Asia-Pacific region (APR).Despite this, the Far East of the Russian Federation is characterized by a discrepancy between the significant potential of resource development and the level of today's unsatisfactory state of the productive forces of the region's mining industry, as well as its transport and energy infrastructure.The article formulates specific current real-time problems and the corresponding imperatives (orders, imperatives) for the effective operation and development of the mining industry, following which will allow in the long term to reorient the region's economy to an effective path of development.
