Nowadays, the Neverovsky crushing and screening plant, the Loktevsky lime plant, and small food production facilities operate in Gornyak.

The area contains deposits of polymetals, limestone, and granite. The city's land resources amount to 2809 hectares.

Economy The city has a railway station, Neverovskaya, which, according to some sources, received its name from one of the first settlers in these parts, the exiled Pole Anton Neverovsky (), a participant in the Polish uprising of 1863, who lived in the Mariinsky district of the Tomsk province from 1864 to 1870 s, when he returned to his homeland in Galicia. According to another version, the station is named after Ivan Zakharovich Neverov (), holder of the Order of the Red Banner (posthumously), who died in battle during the conflict on the Chinese Eastern Railway.
