US EditionRussia's Oil Major Rosneft Takes over Tomtor Rare Metals Deposit in the Far East
- On May 20, Rosneft, Russia’s state-controlled oil company, obtained full ownership of Vostok Engineering, the operator managing the country’s largest rare earth metals site located in the Yakutia region of Siberia.
- The acquisition followed President Putin’s November directive urging accelerated development of the Tomtor field due to prior delays and calls for increased investment and state support.
- Tomtor hosts Russia’s largest rare earth metals reserves, essential for mobile phones, electric cars, and defense industries, and is key to reducing Russia’s dependence on Chinese imports.
- China controls 95% of global rare earth production, while Russia holds an estimated 3.8 million tonnes of reserves aiming for a 12% global market share by 2030, with Rosneft’s takeover reinforcing this goal.
- The acquisition marks a strategic step for Russia to expand rare earth mineral production domestically amid Western sanctions and geopolitical tensions, potentially advancing its position as a top global producer.
