Two years after the landmark announcement marking the beginning of underground production at Oyu Tolgoi LLC / Оюу толгой ХХК copper mine in Mongolia, the site is celebrating monumental progress. On a momentous occasion, President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa joined mine operators at the 1,300-metre underground site, standing as a testament to rapid advancements and collaboration.

“It’s an amazing feat of engineering, technological advancement and safety standards,” stated a representative from Oyu Tolgoi, emphasizing the project’s complexity and success. The company also announced the establishment of the South Gobi Underground Mass Mining Institute, aimed at further developing local skills and knowledge in the mining sector.

Beyond its economic contributions, Oyu Tolgoi is actively involved in promoting sustainable practices in Mongolia.

This ambitious project underscores OT’s commitment to environmental stewardship and its dedication to mitigating the impacts of climate change.

President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa’s visit underscored the government’s continued support for the project, recognizing its significance to the nation’s economy. “My huge thanks again to President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa and other Members of the Parliament as well as Cabinet for your visit and continued support,” expressed a representative from OT, highlighting the importance of the partnership.

The year 2025 is anticipated to be a pivotal year for Oyu Tolgoi, with further expansion and increased production expected. The mine’s success is attributed to the collaborative efforts of its workforce, the government, and partnerships with hundreds of local suppliers.
