The area is rich in various mineral resources:

brown coals: the Lelchitskoye deposit is located 1.5 km away. south of the town of Lelchitsa. The volume of proven reserves is 77.3 million tons (difficult hydrogeological conditions of production and insufficient amount of brown coal reserves make the development of the server section of the deposit economically impractical); the Tonezhskoye deposit is 42 million tons; the Bukchanskoye coal deposit (forecast. resources- 23.7 million tons), Borovskoye coal phenomenon (forecast. resources- 25 million tons), Pribylovichskoe coal occurrence (forecast. resources- 9.1 million tons), Rubezhskoye coal occurrence (forecast. resources - 12.6 million tons);
