Rosneft, Russia's largest oil producer, has acquired the Tomtor rare earth metal deposit, the country's largest. Previously, Russian President Vladimir Putin urged the acceleration of the mine's development last year.
The Tomtor deposit, located in the northern Yakutia region of Siberia, is a key project in Russia's plan to boost rare earth metal production. Rare earth metals are used in the defense industry, mobile phone manufacturing, and EV production.
According to Russia's official corporate registration information, Rosneft gained full control of Vostok Engineering, the operator of the project, on May 20.
