The Kondyor Massif (Russian: горы Кондёр) or Konder[1] is a circular intrusion of igneous rock,[2] about 8 kilometres (5 mi) in diameter. It is located in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia, c. 600 km (373 mi) west-southwest of Okhotsk, or c. 570 km (354 mi) south-east of Yakutsk. It is reached from Yakutsk by road via Amga. It is an important source of platinum.

Since 1984, Artel Starateley "Amur" (part of the Russian Platinum group) has developed this alluvial platinum deposit.
