CONSTRUCTION OF THE BARENTS-KARA MINERAL RESOURCE CENTER FOR NON-FERROUS METALS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEA COMMUNICATIONS

The purpose of the study is to elaborate suggestions for construction of a mineral resource center (MRC) for non-ferrous metals and improvement of the transport infrastructure, which contributes to the effective growth of the spatial economy. While studying the conditions for construction of a non-ferrous metals mineral resource center, the authors reveal the connection with the communication system, namely the need to transport the products of mining and processing plants to consumers. In practice, the interrelation of the constituent components makes it possible to determine the appearance of tax revenues and new jobs due to the creation of the non-ferrous metals’ MRC for the economy of the Arctic and the country as a whole.
