The low level of development of remote northern regions of Russia predetermines a very high dependence of the mining and processing enterprises of that area on the import of material and technical resources and the export of products obtained after mining. Infrastructural restrictions and a continuous increase in the costs of goods and services, often outstripping the growth of prices for mineral wealth, increase the risks in the implementation of investment projects and worsen their economic performance. The results of an analysis of long, complex and multi-link process chains formed by mining enterprises of the polar regions of Yakutia are presented. The procedure of supply, extraction, logistics and primary processing of mineral wealth requires improvement. It is shown that mining enterprises by volume and type of output can be divided into four groups. On the basis of a comprehensive review of the factors of external and internal environment, proposals are formulated to improve the management of the delivery of cargos and delivery of finished products within supply chains. The prerequisites for replacing part of the delivered fuel and energy resources with local coal are considered.
