Transcript	of our non-ferrous metal resources, expediting our geological prospecting work in this direction as much as possible. Still I feel constrained to report that the situation is not quite satisfactory. Take, for instance, copper. Our chief copper-producing centre is the Urals, which yields 95 to 97 per cent of our entire copper output. How do matters stand there as regards a scientific survey of our copper resources? In an article by B. A. Lindener on "Useful Minerals in the U.S.S.R." we read the following: "Exclusive of the copper supplies of the Perm deposits ... the total supplies of the Urals are estimated by the mining engineer N. P. Kuznetsov at 65,000,000 tons of ore, or 1,420,000 tons of metal. According to the geologist V. K. Kotulsky the figure given by Kolesnikov, viz., 365,000,000 tons, comes nearer the truth." In the ''Survey of Mineral Resources" for 1925—26 the actual and probable copper supplies of the Ural deposits are estimated at 325,195 tons. One can account for these contradictory statements by assuming that the figures given by Kuznetsov include also the possible supplies. Such is the situation in a region where copper has been mined for more than a century. On other regions we have no statistics whatever summarising our copper resources. Data are available only for individual mines. Still, the prospects for the development of copper production in the Soviet Union are good. In the first place, our attention should be turned towards the cupriferous sandstones of the Perm system running in a wide strip of territory parallel to the western Urals, which used to be worked in the past. According to preliminary surveys, they contain about one-half of all the copper supplies of the Urals. The Caucasus, which supplied 30 per cent of our entire copper output before the war, has now dropped 62
