Mineral resource base is the foundation for the operations of mining enterprises and related industries. Certain mineral resources are of strategic importance for providing the country’s national and economic security and enhancing its technological sovereignty. Depletion of existing deposits and reduction in the number of studied geological sites with reliable information on ore potential are intensifying competition for new licensed areas for subsoil exploration between mining companies and investors. The key to successful reproduction of the mineral resource base in this context is to increase the pace of exploring potential deposits without losing the quality of the geological information obtained. Assessment of the reproduction processes acceleration is impossible without considering the influence of the time factor on economic systems. The article dwells on the main reasons why the time factor is one of the most significant ones in the mining enterprise’s economics. The article pays special attention to the methods for accelerating reproduction of the mineral resource base; among these methods the author identifies organizational, innovative, educational, financial and junior ones. Application of these methods is examined on the example of a successful mining company, Polymetal JSC, which is one of the leaders in the country’s gold mining industry.

In the article, based on modern ideas about the use of natural resources, the concepts of natural resource potential and an economically demanded resource are formed, a methodological approach to assessing the tax potential for predicting the formation of income of the consolidated budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation from the use of mineral resources is proposed. On the basis of the performed analysis, the subjects of the Russian Federation are identified, the economy of which is determined by the development of the mineral resource complex. The development in the regions of stimulating economic approaches in the field of environmental management and resource conservation is substantiated. Proposals are given to expand the economic independence of the regions of Russia.
