Dalny, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug

The settlement was abandoned as a result of the extraction of gold no longer being economically viable.{{Cite web |url=http://dead-cities.ru/city/Dalniy |title=Dead Cities.ru – Dalny |access-date=2010-04-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100305113535/http://www.dead-cities.ru/city/Dalniy |archive-date=2010-03-05 |url-status=dead }} The mines were declared unprofitable and that there was no possibility of developing any other form of economy in 1999 and the settlement was closed along with a number of others in Chukotka.[http://base.garant.ru/177401/ Постановление Правительства РФ от 2 февраля 1998 г. N 128 О мерах социальной защиты населения ликвидируемых поселков золотодобытчиков в Чукотском автономном округe] (Russian Federation Government resolution dated February 2, 1998 No. 128 on measures of social protection of the population of liquidating estates gold miners in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug "Russian Federation Government resolution dated February 2, 1998 No. 128 on measures of social protection of the population of liquidating estates gold miners in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug). The Russian government guaranteed funds to transport non-working pensioners and the unemployed in liquidated settlements including Dalny from Chukotka to other parts of Russia. The Ministry of railways was obliged to lease containers for the transportation of the migrants' goods to the Chukotkan administration and ensure that they were delivered to the various settlements. Despite the mines closing, the Kupol Gold Project environmental impact assessment, still recorded three people remaining in the settlement as of 2005.Bema Gold Corporation, p.89 However, as of 2008 is in the process of being officially liquidated, and a report on the Klen gold deposit for Highland Gold Mining Ltd reported the settlement as being deserted.

In 1981, one of the world's largest iron meteorites, named "Bilibino", was discovered near the settlement.[http://www.meteorites.ru/menu/encyclopaedia/hotinok2.html Лаборатория метеоритики] Meteorites Laboratory, meteorites.ru
