The article assesses the prospects for the development of strategic mineral resources in the Arctic zone of Russia (AZR). Despite the almost century-old history of mining, the subsoil of the AZR still contains a sufficient amount of mineral raw materials. The most important for the country’s economy are currently Ni, Cu, platinum group metals, Di2, P2O5, Zn, Pb, Au, Ag, Fe-ores, Ti, etc. The results obtained are based on the analysis of the most complete database compiled on deposits of various mineral types in the Russian Arctic. The analysis showed that the mining industry has significant development prospects in the Arctic zone of Russia.
