en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in Russia has set targets of producing 70 tons of gold and 65 million tons of coal annually by 2036 through its updated socio-economic development strategy. The strategic document was adopted at the 19th plenary session of Il Tumen, with the target year set at 2032, a long-term outlook to 2036, and a vision for 2050.

According to the plan, by 2032, the republic's gold production should reach 65 tons, and coal production should reach 60 million tons. In 2025, Yakutia mined 56.9 tons of gold and 51.6 million tons of coal. Based on this, compared to 2025, the republic's gold production needs to increase by 14% by 2032, and coal production by 19%; by 2036, these two outputs need to increase by 23% and 30%, respectively.

The strategy also sets targets for increasing rare earth metal production: reaching 5,000 tons by 2032 and 5,500 tons by 2036.

To meet the electricity demands of industrial and mining enterprises, Yakutia plans to increase its total installed power generation capacity to 2,418.2 megawatts by 2036. Over 25% of the republic's electricity consumption is used for mining. To achieve this goal, the region will implement the construction of the Novolenskaya and South Yakutsk thermal power plants, replace aging power generation facilities with modern units in decentralized power supply areas, and introduce small-scale nuclear power plants.

Over the next decade, a series of gold mining projects will be implemented in Yakutia. The largest projects include: the launch of the Kyuchusa processing plant with an annual production capacity of 10 tons of gold in 2029 (Seligdar Holding Company, 2029); reaching the design capacity of 5 million tons of ore per year at the Tokkinsky processing plant; developing the Roman deposit (planned annual production of 9 million tons of ore, Nordgold Group); and expanding production at the Kuranakh deposit cluster through heap leaching (Polyus Company).
