Abstract. The Botogol graphite mine, located in the Oka district of the Republic of Buryatia, was one of the first mining enterprises of the Baikal region. History of the discovery and development of the Botogol graphite deposit has not only many "white spots", but also widespread myths. The article provides data on discovery and initial stage of development of a high-quality graphite deposit.
