Positive dynamics of world prices and the revival of exploration financing promote continued large investments in the construction of new mines to increase the production of minerals in the Pacific Ore Belt (POB). Several large deposits have been discovered, explored, and prepared for development in the countries of this region, thus attracting increased attention from mining companies. The total potential of mineral extraction in the POB, including in the East of Russia, could increase by 1.5–2 times over the coming years.
