Abstract:

The geological structure of the Mazurov, Azov, and Anadol deposits (Ukrainian Shield, Eastern Azov region), the structural and tectonic conditions of ore localization and their mineralogical and geochemical types are presented. The distribution and concentration of rare elements including rare earths (REE) in ore bodies is given. The balance reserves of ores and the estimated resources of zirconium oxides, REE, niobium and tantalum in these deposits have been calculated. The technological aspects of ore enrichment and processing are considered. The results of the calculation of the expected technical and economic indicators of the development of deposits in the mining unit are presented. The feasibility and investment attractiveness of the creation of a mining association in the southeastern Azov region is economically justified. On the basis of the Donetsk chemical and metallurgical plant (DCMP, in the Donske, Volnovakha district) the creation of an industrial complex (mineral deposits association) is proposed, capable of processing stale tails of DCMP and ores of the Mazurovka deposit by means of "Tantalum-niobium enterprise" and its structural unit "Rare-earth mining enterprise" targeted for mining ores of Azov and Anadol deposits. The objective of the industrial complex is to carry out a complete closed cycle of work within the above mentioned ore deposits, starting with exploration, development, enrichment, production of commercial products in the form of concentrates, and ending with their deep processing to obtain the necessary final products, as well as their implementation in domestic and foreign markets. The creation of additional small exploration and production enterprises for the extraction of other types of raw materials is envisaged that ensure the work of technological processes of the industrial complex. The mineral deposits’ association will be the base enterprise for the creation of the REE industry of Ukraine, ensuring the use of strategic types of mineral raw materials — rare metals — as one of the important indicators of the level of development of the country’s economy.

Keywords: Azov, rare-metal and rare-eath raw material, investments, mining unit.
