The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is a major raw-material region of Russia. Large deposits of diamonds, gold and hydrocarbons are concentrated on the territory. The paper studies the territorial location of mineral resource and production potentials of the basic subsurface management sectors (oil and gas production, as well as diamond, gold and coal mining industries). The mining industry potential in the municipal districts of the region is comprehensively rated by using the method of integrated assessment on a ten-point scale. The assessment identified four local zones of development and location of subsurface management sectors: Arctic, Western, Southern and Eastern; which will allow creating territorial and sectoral clusters in the region in the future, providing the concentration of organizational and managerial efforts and the rational involvement of financial resources. The results of this study can be applied in the strategic planning of socio-economic development of local zones and municipal districts of the republic.
