Recently, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had made a statement that the exploration should operate small businesses. According to Russian officials, the only way you can return the highest level in this sphere. "If you remove all the obstacles and allow the MB to actively develop in the area of ??exploration, we will fill a vacant niche in this sector of the economy," - Vladimir Putin. To date, exploration work in the area, only large enterprises. Naturally, their interest and mineral deposits. Engage in "small change" they were not advantageous, since such deposits are not able to bring desired income is more exploration company. According to many officials, namely small and medium businesses could carry out exploration and study of mineral deposits. Thus the country will develop the scope of geological research. Also successfully develop small and medium businesses, which today is considered the main lever movement of the economy. The Prime Minister said, and that in exploration necessarily need innovative approaches and technologies. Today, the country focuses on small business development in the field of innovative technologies. In this exploration also requires upgrading and highly qualified personnel. Putin: "In my opinion, which was originally geological studies must deal with the state, but rather, to finance this phase of exploration. As for a further period of geological sector, the oil field development may already be engaged directly to the company. Let the small fields remain MB, and large - to large enterprises. " I would like to clarify that the mineral resources sector of the Russian Federation today provides about 30% of the total state GDP. With regard to exploration investment, the bulk of investments - are private. In relation to public investment, private account for 10 rubles to 1 ruble. The Premier noted that today, unfortunately, oil exploration, gold, gas, copper and other strategic reserves over production.
