In 2000, the share of Russia in the world mineral output amounted to 8.3%, to which a significant contributor was the Murmansk Region producing Cu, Ni, Co, Al, P, REE, Zr, Ti, Ta, Nb, Fe ores and other minerals. The Europe-biggest mining companies "Apatit" and "JSC Kola Mining & Metallurgical Company", and some other leading enterprises ("KovdorGOK", "Kovdorsluyda", "Olkon", "Lovozerskaya Mining Co."), are producing up to 100% phosphoric raw materials in Russia, 10-12% iron ores, 18-20% Ni, Cu and Co, up to 100% Zr, 80-90% mica, about 35% ceramic raw materials, 70-80% Nb- and Ta-bearing concentrates. During the twentieth century 200 claims and licenses were granted to the effect that about 40% of the explored regional mineral resources were involved into exploitation.
