A legislative and regulatory framework for this policy has been established in the country. In the context of RM and REM, this framework requires further refinement. A key criterion for the sustainable development of the industry is its balance across domestic production, exports, imports, and consumption. It is also crucial to achieve a balance in domestic production across its technological stages. The full-cycle production and technological chain for raw material processing can be formalized as a matrix, which can be used to create a material balance for each stage. Based on this metal balance, it becomes possible to substantiate the demand for RM and REM raw materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> rare and rare earth metals, import substitution, production and technological chain, technological stage, material balance.<\/p>\n<p>\u0420. 4-18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%; border-style: dashed;\">DOI: 10.53085\/0034-026X_2026_2_19<br \/>\n\u0423\u0414\u041a 553.068.5:553.493:622(470.21)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lalomov A.V.

Total volume of these resources can guarantee the production of loparite concentrate for more than 50 years. The extraction of loparite from placers and technogenic dumps is possible in case of using gravity-magnetic separation methods. The development of these facilities in the short term and with private investment is hindered by imperfect legal and regulatory frameworks. Current legislative acts do not align with the modern realities of the mining industry, leading to delays in commissioning new facilities. Overcoming these legal restrictions requires improving the legislation on subsoil use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> loparite, processing, enrichment, tailings, waste, Lovozero GOK, Karnasurt plant, Sergevan placer.<\/p>\n<p>\u0420. 19-24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%; border-style: dashed;\">DOI: 10.53085\/0034-026X_2026_2_25<br \/>\n\u0423\u0414\u041a: 553.068.36+553.493.65\/66+553.041&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Klyucharev D.S., Levchenko E.N.

As a result of these changes in the material composition of the uranium-bearing sands, the leachability of uranium from them by sulfuric acid solutions decreases in the direction of increasing thermal impact, from the bottom to the top of the sedimentary ore-bearing sequence.
