Russian zirconium industry: current issues in raw material supply
Russia imports the vast majority (3.5–14.9 kt/year or 98–100 % of consumption) of consumed zircon concentrate. However, in 2022, mass production of selective zirconium concentrate began at the Tugan titanium-zirconium deposit, which will soon cover up to 30% of Russia's needs for zirconium raw materials.
The trend of reducing Russia's import dependence on zirconium raw materials will increase the consumption of zircon and zirconium oxides. The availability of an independent and sufficient national production base of zirconium raw materials will contribute to the development of Russian production of zirconium metal, refractory and abrasive products.
A more detailed analysis can be found in the article of the journal "Mining Science and Technology" (Russia):

We present the articles of the second issue of scientific journal "Mining Science and Technology" (Russia) for 2025:
Scientists have conducted an in-depth study of Russia's cobalt resource base, providing new insights into the distribution of 1,562.3 thousand tons of cobalt reserves across 25 ore provinces and 150 major deposits. The research reveals that 62.5% of reserves are associated with copper-nickel deposits in the Norilsk region, while silicate-cobalt-nickel formations account for 19.9% of resources. A special focus was given to emerging sources of cobalt, including deep-sea ferromanganese crusts in the Magellan Mountains (110 thousand tons Co) and Clarion-Clipperton nodules (985 thousand tons Co). The study offers comprehensive recommendations for improving resource estimation methods and implementing innovative mining technologies like in-situ and heap leaching to develop hard-to-process ores more efficiently.
For details, see the article in Mining Science and Technology:
