The relevance of the topic. The Russian mining industry has traditionally been oriented towards foreign markets, which creates a structural dependence of both production volumes and exploration financing on the global environment. Goal. An analysis of industry dynamics over the past decade shows a significant shift in investment priorities: from the dominance of the hydrocarbon sector to an increase in the share of rare earth metals, precious metals and strategic mineral raw materials. Methodology. System analysis, comparisons, induction, as well as a method of processing and visualizing research results. Results and conclusions. Under the conditions of sanctions pressure, the problem of depletion of the mineral resource base of critically important resources - apatite, lead, bauxite, tungsten and diamonds, where the pace of exploration does not compensate for production volumes, is becoming more acute. The adopted «Strategy for the development of the mineral resource base of the Russian Federation until 2050» defines new priorities for overcoming dependence on foreign markets and depletion of the resource base, including technological re-equipment of the industry and the development of domestic engineering for the mining industry. Scope. Industrial sector of the economy in the industry context.

Relevance of the topic. In 2020, the Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zone of Russia until 2035 was adopted. Due to the significance of the Arctic, in terms of the wealth of natural resources, the transport significance of the Northern Sea Route, ensuring the security of the northern borders of the country, the document is a set of strategic planning goals of particular importance for national security. Purpose. Assessment of the current stage and prospects of the Arctic zone development strategy. Methodology. Systems analysis, induction, tabulation comparison methods and visualization of study results. Results and conclusions. The Arctic is a key source of fuel resources for domestic needs and export operations, which determines its main specialization in mining. However, resource wealth is not limited to fuel, which indicates the prospects for diversification of the region's economy. One of the negative factors of development is a significant migration outflow of the population to regions with a more favorable climate, which is caused by both climatic factors and a reduction in the economic base of processing and extractive industries. The strategy aims to improve the quality of socio-economic indicators of the Arctic zone of Russia (a total of 14 target indicators) compared to the base period 2018—2019. with an intermediate stage period of 2025. The study is aimed at assessing the implementation of the objectives of the Arctic Zone Development Strategy in 2024. Analysis of the dynamics and prospects for the implementation of strategic planning goals was carried out. The results obtained demonstrate the need to reassess the target parameters of the Strategy, since with a high degree of probability it can be argued that most of them will not be achieved in modern political and economic conditions. Scope. Assessment of the effectiveness and adjustment of measures for the development of the economy of the Arctic zone and the overall implementation of its development strategy.
