In 1936 significantly richer nickel depoette were dtecovered to the

Until 1936 it ma. believed that there were between five and ten
tons of 1i~w~ ads ore on the Monohe tundra. If one figrea out the
iaillion
aet.: content of this ore, the oorresponcting quantities of pure nickel and

obvioa$, however, that these depostts are important, so the total reserves
Yin be ooneiderably larger than the figures quoted. 'the nickel reserves
fired out in 1938 repo ?rdly eonetttuted 45 percent of to total nt~kel
reserves of the Sovtet Union As far ae is known, no other important
nickel deposits have been discovered eleewhere in the Soviet Union since
that.tima? Therefore, if one counts in the high grads nickel depoetts later
dlsoovered on the gonohe tundra and the Petsamo ores, which now belong to
the Soviet Union, it beoomes clear that the Kola Peninsula and Peteaalo are
now the , Bonet Untons most taportant sources of nickel by far. The f o1lowL
iuI figures for the reserves (the calculated metal content in the ore
x.& rve) at two of the deposits on the gonohe tundra were reported in 1932.
$ap0h12a7Yenoh - 1,000 tons of nickel and 200 tone of ooppe~!. It
rat reported that possibly the ore reeervet there were tan times greater.
Zyadaayvenoh ? 8,000tons of nickel and 7,000 tone of copper.
2. Prottctton.
It is very difficult to give ftgnree for the production of nickel
and capper ore on the Manche tunntra. In 1938 the prod~otion of thelow.grade
O!'! (,abort O.:3 peroen nickel) apparently was of the magnitude of 300,000

tout, corepond.tflg to eomewhat lees than 1,000 tone of pare nicke1
(l`or nurpo$ee of comparison, it may be mentioned that normal protraction
at Petsamo corresponds to nearly 14,000 tone of pure nickel. In 1938 a

gorek to process these ores. tine .souroe dated 1941 reports that the emphasis
now is on the mining of the richer ores in little and naiha Yaraka
Mountains. Lt previously mentioned, there is no exact data an the reserves
of these depoeite. If they are large enough, it may very well be that the
pro~#nction on the Monehe toindra'now corresponds to a quantity of pure niokei
in the neighborhood of 10,004 tons - approxiaately the same as Peteamo

aaents. 'the oily allegedly bead a population Hof no lefe than 70'000 in 1941
(30,000 to 1936). This nu bex of inhabttanta far exceeds what would be neoes-
Mary to opeT*te the mtnes and the suoeiated iadustrtes. ?rot the quoted
prodnotton figUIes one would figure on aropein standards, a populatton oa
no more than 10,000. even if one tekee every oonceiv-sble tndustry Into
oanstderation, the population figurres eeene exoesetvely high. However, there
is reason to believe that tt is true. 'therefore, the question arises as to
vhet the earplug populatton does to asrn a living.
The trust y erontk1el is responsible for all work oonneoted with the
mines and the proeeaetng of the ore at Monohegorek.
The concentration and further processing of the ore is tndioated by

also a sma11 ore area et 5ore17U31uYVench.
T'he nickel ore on the volch tundra occurs in association with nortte
rook in the same manner ae the ore on the llonohe tundra. The ore area
ooonre 3t the boundary between norite ?nd ,gneiss rook types. The ore sons
t, a icm o and 1 O..2OO meters wide. Eowewer, it is irregularly atneraUsedi
large pests of it hear no ore at all.
POT the most part, the ore is of the sa* a type as the lgr~pade ore on
the onche tundrar but differs from it in that it contatn$ chromite. The
usw-l composition is reported to be O.3i'O.5 peroant nickel, about 0.2 per
peat sore=. a i O_4aO,6 percent ohro~.
!o esttmates of the ore reserves of the Yolchi tundra are avatlabIs.
So far nothing has been aaid about working these deposits. They are regarded
as a mature source of ore for the ntc1 works in ilonohegorek.
The ore field has been quite thoroi,ghly tnyeettgatedF i t t as Iraq as

ORE/
The Composition of the Ore
The Fetsamo ore i+s very riok. Ott orzttatno 1,5.43 percent nickel
and 1'8 percent copper, corresponding to a maul oontent of 4.6 per cent,
xndivi us1 portiof of the ore are richer, over 10 percent. The Oa than
dapoefe . 8udbn which produce over 88 percent of the nickel production
of the world, about 100,000 tone of aaeta11io nlokal w have m r sta1 content
of 3w5 percent. The Norvegten deposit in be, whtah are no longer being
worked, Iwmre operated on a 0.8 percent metsl content.
8. The Ore Reserves end production
The ore reserves are estimated at over five nillion toles. Jt is
possible that the reoerves are eoneideacably lerger.
The mining installations admit a pro4uotion of about 400,000
tons of crude ore per year or 1,200 tone per day. The production during the
perid 1842*44 estimated at 300,000 tons per year. This oorreepond$ to
sbont 8,000 tone of nickel and 34,000 tons of capper.
3. Concentration
The ore is welted at the electric furnsos !forks in o1os~aki,
v1 ?e to nteke1..eepper satte is delivered. Ls preciously mentioned; the
pQ~ ~ 411A'9 MP w~+r~ ~~
plant vae destrod ed by the Germane in 1944, but it is now fsirly certain
that it has been rebuilt. Iovever, it is not likoly that it to in full
operation, as the J'saniskoskt power plaint still i not in operation. The
.T~~M,l ~ ws - !ant v*e dertcned to have a capacity of about 4O,0Q0 kw
prior to its destruottOf. The preeent reconstruotion of the power plant
ekes proYiteton for eguiL or possibly sonOvh&t greater poser capacity.
4. Traneprtatian Oondtttone
?he transportation eonditions are favorable, provtded the oracle
ore ie procaued to matte on the spot. The ztte hae a combined niokeio
copper content of about 30 percent. Thus. en annual production of 800,000
tone of crade ore yteids about 40,000 tons of ntckei~copper aatte.
Thic
tone readily be transported ty seat via the port of Lit*ehamaari.
Apparently the mutes tare producing at peak capacity, but it e
hardly poseibie that the smelttng wor t could be operating at peak eapseity.

Theee two aluminum eiiieates are of importance as raw materiale
in the manufacture of fireproof eubetancee and of electrical insulators, etc.
The Kola Peninsula hae by far the largest deposits of these minerals
in the world, just ae it does for apatito and nepheiite. They are cyu tte
V
rseerves of 1~i-24 million tone in the Keyev O Massif in the eastern
part of the bola Peninsula. The area ie practically uninhabited and the
nearest railroad station is 11.0 Icm away. The depoeite were not worked at
all untti 1943, but atteapto at conc~imYraYton of the or had been carrtvd
out with success. It had been planned that these deposits were to be worked
as 4oon ae possible. However? extensive road and railroad installations
were required for this. It ie hardly likely that the depoette are being
worked y'et, bat it is quite possible that they will be in a year or two.
Besides these deposite there are also relatively email depoeits
of cyanite and sillimanite in three other areas on the Kola Peninsula. So
far as is knowns none of these deposits is being worked.
Cyanite is the more valuable of these two minerals. It is need
primarily for the manufacture of heat..reeieta t ceramics and for electrical
insulatore, ae well ae a raw material in the aluminum industry and in the
production of eilu?in. (Siluain is an aluminum= tlicon alloy). The ei,lhimanite
is used mostly for the manufacture of fire resistant eubetances.
The ,unite ,maleo...f the Xeye.v (e) Maseif contains for the most
part 4O 5O per et cy nite_ but some rich portions may contain up to SC per-
cent cyanite. The iron content, which is often excessively high in cyanite
deposits, is only i percent in this deposit. The enriched cyanite concentrate
contaIne only 0.2 percent trop. The aluminum oxide content ie 63 percent.
Cyanite and eiU i anite shalee from other depoeite contain only
15-30 percent cyanite or sihlimanite and, for that reason, cannot be compared
with the eyev ore.

Khtbtnite to a comae-,grained nephelitepsyenite of yule oacurranoe
on the Khibine tundra,, this rock conetete essentially of nephelite,
feldspar, and aegerite. Khtbinte has slight heat-conductance prapertiee
and is suited, therefore, as a home construction material, particule~rly
for foundations. It played a for role in the construction of the ctty
of Kirovsk.
