Abstract
The authors assess the commercial uranium prospects in the Yuzhny Island, Novaya Zemlya archipelago and characterize the main uranium ore targets with resource assessment. It is possible to identify highly productive uranium deposits of the black shale (Ronneburg) type here. The authors give recommendations for further works.
