KamNIIKIGS, JSC (town of Perm, the company is a part of Rosgeo State Holding) will perform the analytical studies of the drill-hole cores of the Arctic Islands. The company won the respective open tendering procedure. The Customer under the contract is I. S. Gramberg All-Russian Research Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources of the World Ocean. The exploration is financed from the resources of the federal budget.
