Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between the gross regional product and the capital investments in the mineral mining industry in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). A regression analysis using the STATGRAPHICS software suite was employed to determine the degree of dependence between these parameters. Alternative models were compared and analyzed, including the linear, exponential, and S-curve regressions. The results indicate that the S-curve model provides the highest accuracy with the correlation coefficient of –0.8527 and the R-squared value of 72.7%. These findings confirm a strong inverse relationship between the levels of investments into the mineral mining industry and the volumes of gross regional product, highlighting the importance of sound investment policies for sustainable social and economic development of the region. Practical recommendations are proposed to enhance the efficiency of the investment management processes, encompassing technological modernization, economic diversification, and integration of the efforts by the state authorities and businesses that are aimed at implementing large-scale projects.
