Extraction and beneficiation of iron and gold-bearing ores
Annual extraction and beneficiation volumes of iron and gold-bearing ores in Russia from 2017 to 2022 are presented in series by specific products. Rows are categorized by raw material type: unbeneficiated iron ore, iron ore concentrate, and oxidized pellets. This allows for assessing the output trends of each individual product. Data are presented in millions of tons and cover the entire country without regional breakdowns

How to read this table
The row distinctions allow for comparing primary extraction volumes with volumes of further processing. It shows the volume of unbeneficiated ore extracted in millions of tons and how it relates to the production of concentrate or pellets. Comparing these indicators helps to understand the production structure of the mining industry over the period under review
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “Gold‑bearing concentrates, % of previous year” — 119; the smallest is “Unenriched iron ore, million t” at 8.6. The gap between them is 13.9-fold.
The table is 83% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.
