There is characterized the mineral resource potential of mining regions of Far East. There are shown the peculiarities of raw material specialization and basic branches of mining production. Nine mining regions (Tynda, Selemdzhinskiy, Malo-Khinganskiy, Zeya, Ayano-Mayskiy, Udskoe, Urgal, Severo-Primorskiy, Yuzhno-Primorskiy), recommended for the active mastering, are singled out on the territories, which have the determined (explored) or forecasted mineral objects. Distinguished mining regions cover various areas on research, prospect and exploration grade. Many mineral objects require the realization of search and exploration works. In the range of cases, the preliminary forecast researches are required for more purposeful detail search or exploration. Each distinguished mining region accents an attention not only on characteristic of mastered or prospective highly liquid minerals, but also on the minerals, which can be interesting as deficient raw materials in the near future, including the accompanying components in complex ores.
