Order No. 3351-r implements Russian Government Resolution No. 2226 (5 December 2022), which set up a federal-budget infrastructure-subsidy scheme for investors building projects in the Russian Far East. The scheme reimburses a defined share of capital costs for grid, water, heat and access-road connections, up to a statutory per-project ceiling (RUB 2 billion, hit by both mining line items in this order). Selection is competitive: the 20 November 2025 annex lists 15 recipients across logistics, tourism, housing and mining, with a combined RUB 4.973 billion in approved subsidy ceilings against RUB ~760 billion in aggregate declared capital investment.
The two mining-sector recipients are both large, previously-announced copper projects with strategic-minerals relevance:
developing a mining-and-processing plant on the Malmyzhskoye copper-gold porphyry deposit in Khabarovsk Krai — RUB 296.5bn in declared capex and 2,576 planned jobs per the order's annex. The RUB 2bn subsidy covers technological connection to Rosseti's (Russian Grids) power infrastructure.
its Udokan mining-and-metallurgical combine in Zabaykalsky Krai — one of the world's largest untapped copper deposits — with RUB 267.4bn in declared capex and 4,384 planned jobs. The RUB 2bn subsidy funds construction of that transport-storage infrastructure.
Both projects are central to Russia's post-2022 push to build domestic copper-refining capacity as Western buyers and equipment suppliers exited following sanctions, and fit the broader import-substitution/domestic-capacity pattern captured elsewhere in the register (FRP recapitalisations, SPIC-backed metals projects).
Udokan) with quantified federal co-financing to Russia's strategic-minerals industrial-policy trail — useful anchors for tracking Russian copper supply growth as Chinese/Asian buyers absorb output redirected from sanctioned Western markets. Malmyzhskoye and Udokan are together expected to materially expand Russian refined-copper capacity through the late-2020s.
means the federal subsidy is a small fraction (<1%) of each project's declared capex — the state's role here is de-risking last-mile infrastructure, not core project financing, which is coming from RMK (Amur Minerals) and Udokan Copper's own investor base (incl. past Chinese and Russian metals-industry backers).
