It also drafts, creates and sets standards for legal documents, papers for geological investigation of mineral resources and their licensing. Activities of the Institute: 1. Forecasting of mineral type and geoeconomic evaluation of mineral resources and deposits. 2. Geological surveys, reconnaissance and evaluations. 3. Setting legal standards for geological investions and development of mineral resources. 4. Provision of maintenance in the development of mineral raw material complexes in Russia, its regions and branches of industry. 5. Analysis and forecast of home and overseas markets; geomarketing of mineral resources and products. 6. Giving expert opinion on plans, projects and licensing documentation dealing with natural and technogenic objects of nonmetallic raw materials. The center can provide: 1. Methodical recommendations on the forecast of mineral type and geoeconomic estimate of resources and non-metallic deposits. 2. Data bases and banks, software for various solutions of problems connected with the development of raw material complexes, introduction of monitoring of raw materials and markets, mapping of deposits using GIS technologies. Special Computer Analytical Center (SCAC) This center is a part of the Federal information analytical system at the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia and provides the state Bank with digital geological information as well as data in regard to non-metals. Activities: 1. 2. 3. 4. Designing data bases. Digital cartography. Creation of GIS-projects. Creation of analytical data processing and geoinformation systems. The centner is capable of: - developing digital maps and geoinformation systems forecasting and searching for mineral resources and evaluation af deposits using computer modeling computer technology using GSR-50 The center has at its disposal: 1. GIS “Non-metals of Russia” with factographic and cartographic data bases. 2. GIS “Sectioning and profiling” to create models of the ore deposits. 3. Authorised and licensed computer programes. 2 Analytical technological center for certifying and testing (ATCEC) (Certificate of GOSSTANDART of RUSSIA N ROCC RU .0001.510445) This center carries out a complete set of analytical mineralogical and technological investigations to study and assess non-ore raw materials. Activities: 1. Quantitative chemical, (crystalline) structural, mineralogical and X-ray analyses of nonore raw materials, products of enrichment and their derivatives as well as various analyses to determine the presence of heavy metals in natural waters, soils, bed residues, grounds, plants` ashes and foodstuffs. 2. Development and metrological certifying of standardizing methodological and standardizing technical documentation as well as (norms and) standards dealing with the quality assessment and feasibility of extraction, processing, etc. of the raw materials. 3. Development of standards for structural and element composition and basic physicomechanical parameters. 4. Certification of raw matherials and products obtained from them. 5. Arbitration and control functions. 6. Development of technologies to increase concentration in raw matherials and their processing and testing in small samples as well as quality assurance for production. The center possesses: - up-to-date apparatus and technological equipment certified techniques for the assessment of raw material quality and its complex utilization. original technologies of mineral raw material processing and technical adjustment . stock of basic standard samples.
