The Yaregskoye oil-titanium deposit is located near Ukhta in the Komi Republic of Russia. It contains a thick bed of titanium-rich sandstone above an oil reservoir. The deposit contains over 40% of Russia's titanium reserves and can provide raw materials for titanium and pigment production for many years. Oil from the deposit is also unique and suitable for asphalt, lubricants, and other products. Plans are being developed to mine 1.2 million tons of ore annually from the deposit along with associated oil and titanium concentrate production. Required investments have been estimated and the project is included in Russia's development program for the Komi Republic.

Complex development of the Yaregskoye oil-titanium deposit
The Yaregskoye deposit of oil-titanium ores is located near Ukhta. The deposit represents an oil reservoir with a thick (up to 25 m) bed of ore-bearing sandstone containing oil located under it. A titanium dioxide content of ore is 11% on the average. This is much higher than commercial contents of ore in most deposits. Titanium reserves of the deposit that account for over 40% of total titanium reserves of Russia are approved by the State Reserves Commission and allow long-term planning of ore mining and processing. Development of the deposit may solve the problem of titanium raw materials for production of metallic titanium and other products thereof and pigment titanium dioxide. Oil of the Yaregskoye deposit is unique: it is particularly heavy, high-viscosity, high-gumming and is an excellent raw material for production of road asphalts; various (transformer, refrigerating, white medicinal) oils the demand for which is very great in Russia; furnace and black oils; naphthaplast; polymerplast, and other products. Oil from the Yaregskoye deposit has been mined since the 40th. Recoverable reserves are 59 million t. Presently, up to 500,000 t a year of oil are mined from the deposit through four oil-shafts. OAO (open joint-stock company) Yaregskaya Neftetitanovaya Kompaniya (Oil-titanium Company) holds a license for the development of the deposit. Investments in the complex development of the Yaregskoye oil-titanium deposit were substantiated by OAO All- Russian Aluminium-Magnesium Institute in 2000. The project supported by the RF Government is included in the Federal Special Program of the Social and Economic Development of the Komi Republic in&1998-2005. Planned production capacities of the enterprise are: mining of 1.2 million t a year of ore; production of 220,000 t a year of titanium concentrate and co-production of 70,000 t a year of oil, and production of 1.2 million t a year of oil. In future, it is planned to subject titanium concentrate to metallurgical treatment for production of titanium slag, titanium-silicon alloy 30% of which is expected to be produced as titanium allow flux-cored wire and pigment titanium dioxide. Estimated capacity of titanium ore production will be achieved by two stages: ore output of 600,000 t a year due to the reconstruction of the current mine at the 1st stage and 600,000 t a year due to building of a new mine at the 2nd one. Required investments are: $161.1 million in the ore-titanium complex; $156.7 million in a pigment plant; $67.6 million in oil production using new technologies; and $181.4 million in oil refining. Period of recoupment is 9 years. The forms of investors’ participation are: leasing, on a compensatory basis through delivery of finished commodity.
