Description: 
This institute was organized about 1956 by incorporating a group of 
departments and laboratories formerly associated with the Crimean Branch of 
the Academy of Sciences, which was assimilated at that time by the Ukrainian 
Academy of Sciences. The principal task of the new Institute was exploita- 
tion of Ukrainian mineral-raw material resources. The Institute may have 
been reorganized again in 1959. 
Graduate study is offered in mineralogy, hydrogeology, geochemistry, 
physical chemistry, chemistry and technology of mineral substances, and
