What are the main mineral resources in Russia?
Russia has the largest mineral and energy reserves in the world, and is also the largest exporter of oil and natural gas.

80% of Russia's total reserves of resources are distributed in Asia.

Mineral resources: coal (Kuzbas), oil (Tyumen Oilfield, Second Baku Oilfield), natural gas, iron (Kursk), manganese, copper, lead and zinc. The proven oil reserves are 8.2 billion tons (data in 2009), accounting for 4-5% of the world's proven reserves, ranking eighth in the world. The proven natural gas reserves are 48 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 1/3 of the world's proven reserves, ranking first in the world.

Diamond resources: Russia recently announced a diamond mine discovered in the 1970s. The mine is located in a crater with a diameter of more than 100 km in eastern Siberia, with an estimated reserve of more than one trillion carats, which can meet the demand of the global gem market for 3,000 years. Scientists say that this crater named Popigai has a history of more than 35 million years, and its diamond reserves are estimated to be 10 times that of the rest of the world combined.
