The article discusses the main criteria for the regional forecast of significant reserves of placer raw materials of the Kular mining-industrial region (MIR): gold, kularite, quartz. The connection of the industrial accumulation areas of these minerals with the near-contact (productive) zone of a denudation section of the Permian and Triassic deposits of the Eastern-Verkhoyansk folded zone, and that of gold-quartz placers with a dike swarm of lamprophyres and conglomerates of all stratigraphic levels are characterized. The estimated resources of gold-rare-earth-quartz raw materials, along with the actually expected diamond-bearing territory, put forward the Kular MIR as a primary industrial facility for the revival of the former economic potential of the Bulunsky and Ust-Yansky Uluses of Polar Yakutia, but already as a source of integrated polymineral diamond-goldrare earth-quartz raw materials.

Keywords: forecast, Northern Yakutia, Kular mining-industrial region, indicators, placers, lamproites, diamonds, conglomerates, resources, gold, kularite, quartz.
