Phosphate raw materials are not mined in Ukraine.
The total reserves of apatite ores in Ukraine are almost entirely concentrated in two deposits - Stremyhorod and Novopoltav (as a concomitant component of titanium ores).
At the same time, near the Stremyhorod deposit, there are smaller deposits of the same ores, which lie at a shallower depth and require significantly smaller capital investments for their development.
The most promising of them are Vydiborske and Fedorivske. In addition, within the Korsun-Novomyrhorod pluton, the Nosachivske deposit of phosphorus-titanium ores has been explored.
The development of these deposits will provide a significant share of Ukraine's needs in phosphorus fertilizers.
An independent type of apatite ores are the apatite-containing basic rocks of the Holoskivska area (Khmelnytskyi region).
To increase the mineral and raw material base of apatite, it is planned to conduct:
-exploration and evaluation works for apatite and apatite-ilmenite ores in promising areas of the Ukrainian Crystal Shield and the Donetsk Folded Region;
-exploration and evaluation works for apatite ores within the Holoskivska ore-bearing field (Khmelnytskyi region).
