Two thirds of Russian gold production comes from six eastern ‘federal subjects’ in the country: Amur, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, Krasnoyarsk, Magadan, and Sakha-Yakutia. Currently the single biggest producer of Russian gold is the Olympiada mine, producing 720,000 ounces in 2011. It is estimated that 5,000 tons of gold in the far eastern reaches of Siberia are still un-mined.
