Territory and natural conditions

Territory

The Kemerovo Region is located in the southeast of Western Siberia. The total area – 95,700 sq. km, which accounts for 4% of Western Siberia and 0.56% of the Russian Federation.

The region has only land boundaries. It borders the Tomsk Region in the north, Krasnoyarsk Krai and the Republic of Khakassia in the east, the Republic of Altai and Altai Krai in the south (the boundaries run alongside the main ranges of Gornaya (Mountainous) Shoria and Salair Ridge), the Novosibirsk Region in the west.

The most important feature of the geographical position of the Kemerovo region is that it is located in proximity to the center of Eurasia at the junction of Western and Eastern Siberia and in the distance from seas and oceans.

Natural conditions (Relief peculiarities)

The Kemerovo region is situated in the southeast of Western Siberia; southeast of West Siberian Plain constitutes the northern part of the region, Kuznetsk Alatau - the western and northwestern part, Salair Ridge and ranges of Gorrnaya (Mountainous) Shoria – the southwestern part and Kuznetsk Depression – the central part of the Kemerovo region.

Kuznetsk Alatau – the biggest mountain system of the region. The total length exceeds 500 km. The highest point – Amzas-Taskyl (Big Tooth) – 2,178

meters above sea level. The main ridge and few spurs are covered with eternal snowfields on the northern slopes, with surviving mountain tundra and alpine flora. There are vast territories covered with preserved dark coniferous and leaf forests.

Salair Ridge is an ancient chain of mountains. It stretches from the South to the North for about 300 meters with breadth of about 15-40 km. The ridge is smooth; its average altitude reaches 400 meters above sea level.

Gorrnaya (Mountainous) Shoria is also called Siberian Switzerland for its ski resorts, alpine meadows and incredibly fresh air. Gornaya Shoria is situated at the junction of the ridges of northeast Altai, Kuznetsk Alatau and Salair Ridge.

The territory of the region comprises mountainous-taiga, forest-steppe and steppe landscapes.

The relief of Kuznetsk Depression is predominantly flat.

General information on climatic resources

In the territory of the Kemerovo Region extreme continental climate is displayed. Winters are cold and long, summers are short and warm.

An average monthly temperature in January amount from -18°C to -22°C, in July – from +17°C to +22°C.

The highest temperature observed in summer is +38°C and the lowest winter temperature reaches to -54°C in the South and -58°C in the North. Annual rainfall constitutes 300-500 mm, in mountainous area – about 900 mm.

Natural resources

Mineral resources

The Kemerovo Region has a great raw materials potential. In the territory of the region about 500 mineral deposits are explored and registered by State Register of Mineral Reserves of the Russian Federation.

The Kemerovo Region is considered to be a unique coal-bearing basin that accommodates coal deposits of different grades: coking coal, high quality steam coal (that meets the standards SECA and could be exported). The total geological coal reserves of the Kuznetsk Basin down to a 1800-meter depth are estimated at 733,400 million tons, of which 724,300 million tons meet the requirements for mineable deposits, namely for seam thickness and ash content of coal, accepted conditions of deposits subject to commercial exploitation.

According to the prospecting work results conducted in the beginning of the 21st century, about 68,000 million tons of A+B+C1+C2 coal reserves laying on the depth of 600 meters, including 32,800 million tons of coking coal with 15,100 million tons of rare grades are counted by the State Register of Reserves. Methane resources in coal beds are estimated at 13 trillion cubic meters. In the North-East of the Kemerovo Region there is a western part of Kansk-Achinsk lignite basin that accommodates 5 deposits: Itatsky, Urypsky in Tyazhinsk district. Tisulsk and Dudetsk deposits are relatively small and are of regional significance. The total potential of reserves is estimated at 52,650 million tons. Despite the fact that coal is a well-spread mineral, the majority of investments come to the development of considerable coal deposits: Elegestsky (Tyva), Elginsky (Yakutia), Chitinsky, Buryatsky and Irkutsky, Krasnoyarsk part of Kansk-Achinsk lignite basin, there is no heavy competition on the market of coal delivery. In general, it is formed by the delivery of law-quality bituminous coal predominantly designed to domestic market. Moreover, the competition is relative because as a rule, the work of power assets is based on a particular grade of coal and, as a consequence, on cooperation with certain importers.

The Kemerovo Region’s total potential reserves of iron ore are estimated at 5,250 million tons, of which commercial reserves (A+B+C1+C2) with 34-48% of pure iron reach 1,380 million tons. The most significant reserves of iron ore are the iron ore basin in Gornaya Shoria (2,169 million tons, including 1,013.1 million tons of commercial reserves) and Kuznetsk Alatau (commercial reserves reach 370.1 million tons). Moreover, there are considerable reserves of raw materials in proximity to the Kemerovo Region in Khakassia and in the southern Krasnoyarsk krai. In the Tomsk Region projected resources of iron ore reach 393,000 million tons with average iron ore content in mines of Bakcharsky deposit exceeding 40%. Few reserve iron ore deposits: Inskoy, Belorestky (Altai krai), Kholzuevo (Republic of Altai) are situated within a 500-km radius of Kemerovo region’s steel plants. A part of iron ore raw materials were traditionally imported into the Kemerovo Region from Gorshunovsky mineral processing plant in Irkutsk region.

A Resources Portfolio of nonmetallic mineral resources of the region comprises 5 fluxing limestone deposits (Tyazhinskiy, Guryevkskiy,Tisulskiy, Belovskiy and Novokuznetskiy districts), 3 quartzite deposits (Gornaya (Mountainous) Shoria, Yaya district), 2 dolomite deposits (Gornaya (Mountainous) Shoria), 8 fire-clay deposits (Guryevkskiy, Novokuznetskiy and Kemerovskiy districts) and 6 moulding sand deposits (Chebulinskiy and Izhmorskiy districts). Consequently, metallurgical complex of the Kemerovo Region has a great raw materials potential.

About two-thirds of explored reserves of Russian black iron ore are situated in Kuzbass, the greater part of which is centered in Usinsk deposit located in 85-90 km from Mezhdurechensk (commercial reserves of Usinsk deposit reach 106,400 million tons, total commercial reserves of Russia – 158,700 million tons). According to geological prospecting surveying fieldwork, in the southwest of Gornaya Shoria there is a manganese complex comprising 20 mineralizations and manganese mineralizations. Prospective reserves are estimated at 120 million tons of oxidized manganese ore.

Kemerovo region accommodates 10 gold ore deposits and 141 gold placer deposits. Commercial reserves of ore gold deposits reach 35 tons and of placer gold deposits – 29 tons. In 2015 gold ore mining (depletion of the ore reserves) is estimated at 993 kg, including 933 kg of extracting from placer gold deposits; ore gold deposits were not excavated.

In the territory of the region (especially in the area of Gornaya (Mountanous) Shoria and Kuznetsk Alatau) more than 90 deposits and 20 ore mineralizations are discovered (gold, silver, iron, manganese, zinc, lead, copper, titanium, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, mercury , stibium, uranium, thorium). Apart from that, there are aluminium ore deposits (7 – nephelines and 17- bauxites), one of which - Kia-Shaltryt urtite deposite - is being developed now in the Northern part of Kuznetsk Alatau.

The Kemerovo Region has a great non-metallic mineral resources potential: there are about 150 deposits of construction materials (about 40% are being developed now), mineral water, and peat (230 peat deposits with total peat reserves of 199.9 million tons including 34 large deposits of over one million tons), considerable reserves of talc and phosphites.
