 Russia
Russia exports 16,000t of uranium each year, and uses 8,000-8,500t to produce nuclear fuel.[6] As of December 2000 it was estimated that Russian nuclear power stations used between 3,000t and 4,500t of uranium annually with an additional 2,200t committed to fuel Soviet-built reactors in the NIS and Eastern Europe.
Russia relies heavily on its large uranium stockpile to make up the difference between the uranium it annually exports and uses domestically (24,000-24,500t) and the uranium it annually mines (2,000-2,500t).
Russia's estimated reserves of ores with a high uranium content are 145,400t.[2] Most of these deposits are located in Chita Oblast, near Krasnokamensk, site of the Priargunskiy Mining and Chemical Combine (PMCC).

Compositional variations in platinum-group minerals and gold, Konder alkaline-ultrabasic massif, Aldan Shield, Russia
Abstract: The platinum-group minerals (PGM) of the Konder zoned alkali-ultrabasic massif, located east of the Aldan Shield, in far-eastern Russia, are predominantly represented by isoferroplatinum of two generations, both with Fe contents ranging from 7.5 to 11.5 wt.%.
A similar morphology and distribution as found with Pt Fe are observed with gold, related to rare lenses of sulfide and impregnations in dunite (Cu-, Pt-, and Pd-bearing high-grade gold) and monzodiorite cutting dunite (low-impurity middle- and low-grade gold).
