The Talnakh cluster of magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE deposits, Oktyabrsky, Komsomolsky, Taimyrsky, Kharayelakh, Skalisty, Severnijy, Mayak and Mokulaevskoe are operated as the Polar Division of MMC Norilsk Nickel, Норильский никель or Nornickel. They are located ~35 km north of the Bear Creek Division mines of Nornickel at Noril'sk that are east of the Urals, 75 km east of, and 500 km south of where the Yenisey River flows into the Arctic Ocean.

These mines are described in the main Noril'sk record.
