The article analyzes the mineral and raw material base of coal deposits of the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), all of them were explored in the Soviet time in the middle of 40-50 years. The paper presents a comparative characteristic of the geographic and economic, mining and geological and geotechnological conditions of coal deposits in the basins of north rivers Jana and Indigirka. The qualitative characteristics of the coals have been studied, which showed that from the point of view of consumers from the local better are the coals of the Krasnorechenskoe and Tikhonskoe deposits, and the worst brown coals of Uyandinskoe and Kularskoe fields, which have a very high humidity and ash content. The article assesses the possibility of using coal for generation of electric and thermal energy during development of ore and placer gold deposits in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The unit cost of electricity generation is lowest when using coal as fuel, which can be extracted from the Kular deposit. Taking into account the lower quality of the coal fields of Kular deposit, it is possible for the subsoil user to consider the issue of extraction and delivery of better-quality coal from the previously developed Soginskoe deposit. The results give the opportunity of a fuller assessment of the potential, role and place of coal, especially local coal, for the generation of electrical and thermal energy for use by mining and processing companies, focused on the implementation of ore and placer deposits development projects in Arctic zone.
