Abstract
Technological transformation based on competitive mining and deep processing of mineral resources involves the introduction of innovations in mineral extraction and processing, as well as the promotion of technological trans-formation through government policy and international cooperation. The prospects for further development and imple-mentation of these technologies will enable the industry to remain competitive and meet contemporary challenges. In anticipation of the development and adoption of the Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Far Eastern Federal District until 2030, with a forecast up to 2036, the authors address the complex task of substantiating the devel-opment strategy of the Russian Far East for the next decade amid emerging challenges, threats, and opportunities. The strategy is expected to encompass social development, infrastructure, transportation, mineral resource extraction, and advanced technologies. The mineral resource base of the Far Eastern Federal District is examined, demonstrating its potential for establishing major metallurgical facilities and thereby transforming the territory into a self-sufficient re-gion. The study also reveals existing infrastructure constraints, including the lack of transportation routes and power transmission networks to prospective areas, as well as insufficient geological exploration activities, despite the fact that many deposits remain underexplored or poorly studied. The market environment of Russia and the Asia-Pacific coun-tries is analyzed with regard to the priorities of scientific and technological development.
