Abstract: In the article the authors consider the Arctic region. It is becoming more and more accessible thanks to the melting ice and its technological advances. Arctic countries and transnational corporations view the exploitation of hydrocarbons and long-term investments in them as an attractive opportunity to significantly replenish their resource reserves. In addition to existing and promising oil and gas resources, deposits of other Arctic mineral resources are extremely significant and important for Russia. The article also presents the characteristics of the Arctic regions such as the area of the Arctic areas, population density, the volume of industrial production in total and per capita, including the volume of mining of metallurgical ores in the Arctic zone by countries such as Greenland, Finland, Sweden, Canada, Norway, USA, Russia.

Key words: mineral wealth, economic development, social development of the Russian Arctic, infrastructure problems, environmental protection, population consolidation, mineral resources.
