Resource and raw materials porention
Resource potential represents a provision with basic types of natural resources. In these terms the Krasnoyarsk Krai is the largest raw-material base of Russia, first of all it is the mineral base with stocks and resources of basic types of minerals. The unique resource potential of the Krai is supposed to be a considerable source of income in the regional budget in the foreseeable future. The basic types of natural resources of the Krasnoyarsk Krai are: land, mineral primary resourses, forest, water and recreation resources.
Land resources
Land resources of the Krasnoyarsk Krai are 72 367,1 thousand hectare.

The enterprise plans to increase in 2008 extraction of gold up to 2,1 tоns, and by 2010 — up to 4 tons. In 2008 extraction of gold in the Krai is expected at a level of 35 tons, which means keeping the first place among gold mining regions of the Russian Federation.
Stocks of lead and zinc of the Krasnoyarsk Krai are concentrated in the unique Gorevsk lead and zinc deposit. The Gorevsk deposit contains 42,7 % of total stocks of lead and 2,5 % of stocks of zinc in Russia. The Gorevsk Mineral Concentration Plant extracted and processed 708 thousand tons of lead-zink ore of which 43,2 thousand tons of lead and 11,6 thousand tons of zinc concentrate were processed in 2007.
70 % of the Russian coal reserves are located in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. This is about 20 % of the world’s coal reserves. Two world’s largest coal fields are located on the territory of the region: the Tungus coal basin and the Kansk-Achinsk brown coal basin. About 13 % of the country’s coal and 10 % of CIS coal is extracted in the territory that makes up more than 35 million tons per year. The largest coal-field is Kansk-Achinsk brown coal basin, the prospected reserves of which are more than 65 billion tons. Norilsk ore deposit area is unique in terms of cooper extraction, nickel and platinum group metals. On the basis of this deposit Norilsk “Mining and Metallurgical Plant” JSC — the world’s largest producer of nickel and metals of platinum group — was founded.
This particular enterprise is the largest supplier of non-ferrous and precious metals in the world market and completely meets the demands of Russia in copper, nickel, cobalt and metals of platinum group.
The Krasnoyarsk Krai ranks the second in Russia (the 1st is Tyumen area) by initial total resources of oil, natural gas and a condensate, which makes more than 53 billion tones of conditional hydrocarbons. In Krasnoyarsk Krai, Taimyr and Evenkiya reserves of oil and gas of industrial categories C1 + C2 are estimated in 2,4 billion tons and 1,7 trillion cubic meters.
A number of oil and gas fields in the north of Turukhansk and in Angara Area are already prepared for industrial development. Concerning investment attractiveness the basic projects in oil-and-gas sector are connected with industrial development of Turukhansko-Vankorskaya group of oil-and-gas deposits, Yurubcheno-Takhomskaya zone and gas deposits of Lower Angara Area.
Raw-material base of oil and gas deposits will allow to extract up to 52 millions tones of oil and gas in the Uniform gas system up to 25 billion cubic meters by 2017.
Porozhinsk deposit containing manganese oxide and manganese carbonate is one of the largest in Russia. The state balance of mineral stocks counted 29,4 million tonesof manganese in oxide ores by categories C1+C2.
The Krasnoyarsk Krai has a competitive raw-material base of rare metals and niobium pentoxide — Chuktukonskoye and Tatarskoye deposits.
The Krasnoyarsk Krai is also attractive in terms of extraction such kinds of minerals as aluminium raw material (Goryachegorsk deposit of nephelinic syenites, stocks of ore — 738 million tons), antimony (Udereisk deposit, stocks of metal — 37,8 thousand tons), nickel and metals of platinum group (Kingashsk deposit, balance stocks of ore — 219,4 million tons, the prospected resources — 219,1 million tons), talc (Kirgiteyskoye deposit, balance stocks — 7,6 million tons), magnesite (Verhoturovskoye deposit, balance stocks — 110,7 million tons), phosphorite (Seybinskoye deposit, stocks of ore — 6.6 million tons), zeolite (Sahaptinskoye deposit, stocks of breeds containing zeolite — 33,2 million tons) and others.

Recreation resources
Hydromineral resources are the base of the sanatorium complex in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. Medical drinking waters with high level of mineralization were found inside the Rybinsk valley. Mineral waters of Kansk-Taseevsk valley are quite various in their chemical composition. There is the cardiological sanatorium named “Krasnoyarskoe Zagorie” located near the Kanakovsk water-source.
There are three types of balneological resources (therapeutic muds): turfen, sapropelic and silt. “Ozero Tagarskoe” hospital is specialized in pneumonic, tuberculosis forms. It is situated in the therapeutic region in Minusinsk. Health-improvement sanatorium situated in the territory of Borovoe Lake (Plahino) in Abakan region is very popular for its therapeutic mud and waters.
More than 200 thousands rivers, also lakes and water reservoirs conduce to development of different types of water tourism (foldboating, whitewater rafting (Mana River, Sisim River), canoe, rafting, kite surfing, yachting).
