The paper deals with the commodity flows (production, import, export, consumption, prices) of manganese, chromium, silicon, vanadium, niobium, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium and nickel ferroalloys in dynamics from 2000 to 2019 throughout Russia. The paper also specifies groups of ferroalloys: import-dependent (silicomanganese, metallic manganese, ferroniobium), export-oriented (ferrosilicon, ferrochrome, ferrovanadium, ferromolybdenum) and counter import-export (ferromanganese) flows. The paper notes that there has been a liquidation of import dependence on ferromanganese and ferromolybdenum. Trends in shares of Russian ferroalloys in their world production and consumption, as well as in the world trade are determined. The share of Russia in the world production of ferromolybdenum increased (up to 5-8 %), while ferrovanadium and ferrosilicon decreased. The shares of Russian consumption (in world demand volume) of ferrovanadium (up to 11-7 %) and ferroniobium (up to 5-7 %) increased, and the shares of national demand for ferrosilicon and silicomanganese in the volume of world supply decreased. The shares of Russian import in the world trade volume of metallic manganese (up to 11-16 %) and ferroniobium (up to 5 %) are increased, and the share of national imports of silicomanganese and ferromanganese decreased. The shares of Russian export in the world trade volume of ferrosilicon (up to 17-21 %) and ferromolybdenum (up to 5-8 %) are increased, while the share of national exports of ferrovanadium decreased. As a result, the authors give proposals to mitigate the import dependence on certain types of ferroalloys (metallic manganese, silicomanganese and ferroniobium.
Purpose. Selection of the most explorable mineral deposits in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts of the Russian Federation as investment projects.Methods. System rank analysis of minimizing the risks of investment projects for their provision with transport and energy infrastructure.Findings. There were selected the most attractive mineral deposits in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts, which had not been developed before due to lack of investment.Originality. Ranking of mineral deposits is carried out not by geological and economic indicators, but according the degree of these objects availability.
Practical implications.It is presented an additional possibility of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts territories development by changing the attractiveness of investment programs for the mineral resources exploitation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
