Abstract

A noted Western specialist on the energy and natural resource industries of the former USSR assesses trends in the production of gold in the Russian Federation in the 1990s, focusing on regional patterns of output. A discussion of changes in the organizational structure and legal environment surrounding gold production is followed by a description of state gold purchasing and storage activities. Coverage then turns to an indepth analysis of production in Russia's gold-producing regions—the Urals, West Siberia, East Siberia, and the Far East. A concluding section surveys key obstacles confronting the industry in 1997 and the production outlook over the near and longer-term future. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Numbers: L72, N50, Q38. 8 tables, 31 references.
