According to the State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine, the competition is being held to identify a potential investor for the search, extraction and enrichment of metallic minerals within the subsoil use object.
In accordance with Article 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On Production Sharing Agreements" and Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated August 27, 2025 No. 1059, a tender has been announced for the conclusion of an agreement on the distribution of metallic minerals that will be mined and enriched within the Dilyanka Dobra deposit.
This is an important step for the development of the domestic mining industry and the integration of Ukraine into global supply chains of critical minerals. The start of international PSA competitions for critical minerals is one of the indicators of the implementation of the Ukraine Facility plan, - said the Head of the State Service for Geology and Mineral Resources of Ukraine Oleg Hotsynets. - The implementation of the competition will be an impetus for the formation of domestic high-tech production.
The Dobra deposit, with a total area of 17.07 sq. km, is located in the Kirovohrad region. It consists of two separate zones of closely located veins of ore-bearing pegmatites - Stankuvatskaya and Nadiya and three tungsten ore occurrences located on the eastern flank. The presence of two lithium minerals (petalite and spodumene) in the ores allows for selective production of spodumene and petalite concentrates.
A special permit will be granted to the winner for 50 years for the purpose of searching, mining, and enrichment (primary processing) of lithium, niobium, rubidium, tantalum, cesium, beryllium, tungsten, and gold.
Lithium ore reserves and resources are tested in quantities according to categories C2 (class code 122), average Li2O content – 1.34%; P1 (class code 333) – 1218135.1 t (average Li2O content – 1.37%) and P2 (class code 334) – 70634.5 t (average Li2O content – 1.43%). Prospective and forecast resources of associated useful components according to categories P1+P2 are separately noted.
Ukrainian and foreign companies can participate in the competitions, except for representatives of a state that is carrying out armed aggression against Ukraine or significantly contributing to the commission of such actions, as well as representatives of a country that does not comply with the recommendations of international organizations involved in the fight against money laundering, terrorist financing, or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The deadline for submitting applications for participation in the competitions is December 12, 2025.
