Peculiarities of Applying the Public–private Partnership Technique in Exploration of Natural Resources

The paper examines the ways of how to apply the public–private partnership technique (PPP) in exploration of Siberian natural resources. We summarize the successful PPP projects carried out in populated regions in Russia and analyze possibilities to expand the method in order to create non-productive and infrastructural objects in mineral resources sector. The article shows main risks arising while exploring natural resources using the PPP technique. We conclude that it is necessary to preserve the uniqueness principle for a project in the sphere of mineral resources exploration, as well as the uniqueness principle when drafting the PPP documents. It is shown that due to violation of the basic PPP principles (such as competitiveness when choosing a partner, transparency in project implementation, accessibility of information on whether project implementation is efficient), it is impossible to improve the efficiency of government expenditure in mineral resources sector

Economic potential of the Novosibirsk Oblast mineral resources complex

The paper analyses the resource potential of the Novosibirsk Oblast and conditions, factors, and forms of its involvement in economic turnover. We calculated values of the solid commercial minerals economically important for this region. Our economic assessment of the regional resource potential allow the conclusion that, in principle, there is opportunity to build both new and up-to-date mining enterprises (with refinery run and processing of minerals) and local or large regional centers for economic growth.
