Evolution of partnership, interaction between the state and business with regard to the mineral resource base development
The topical issues related to interaction between the state and business, their evolution since the beginning of market relations in the Russian subsoil use were considered. The conclusion on the discrepancy between the existing institutional, legislative, financial assurance and the conditions of efficient mineral resource base development was made. It was shown that overcoming the problems that were accumulated in the geological industry for over a 25-year period, where the priorities of mineral resources for newly formed subjects of subsoil use were dominant, will require a full range of systemic as well as important measures and decisions. It was noted that one of the most important measures was the foundation of a state geological corporation as a single production-technical, scientific-analytical and information competency centers at the market of comprehensive exploration and mineral resource base development.
