$95 million.

The exploited and already abandoned deposits of all the most important minerals in Belarus were found in Soviet times. But its leadership has a hope that those geologists missed something somewhere, writes the site "Belarusians and the market".

That's why this time the government of Alexander Turchin will allocate another Br276 million or the equivalent of $95 million to find what was not found before.

According to the "Nedra" program for 2026-2030, there is a prospect of discovering new deposits based on the forecast resources of many types of minerals.

Br273.3 million on this program will be spent from the republican budget, while another Br2.7 million will be used by the participating organizations.

As the site Charter97.org wrote, Lukashenko does not give up hope to find large oil deposits in Belarus. The dictator promises to find it, it is only necessary to "drill and drill".
