Resumen
Descripción
This report was written in 2008 in the
wake of a World Bank mission to Mongolia in 2007. The team
identified that the South Gobi region is poised for a major
boom in economic activity, with a foundation based on
planned development of mines of world class significance.
The Mongolian Parliament is considering an greement with
Ivanhoe Mines for the development of a copper and gold mine
at Oyu Tolgoi, and a shareholder agreement that relates to
proposed development of a coal mine at Tavan Tolgoi. Other
proposed mines in the relatively near future include copper
and molybdenum at Tsagaan Suvraga (TS) and export coal at
Nariin Sukhait. It is likely that infrastructure development
in the region will spur the development of additional mines
and associated industries. The following discussion sets out
the major infrastructure, environment, and regional
development issued identified by the October mission of the
World Bank.
