Mongolian mining sector makrs 90th years

It has been 90 years since the mining sector of Mongolia emerged.


The Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy and the Mineral Resources Authority are organizing an international open forum in recognition of this 90th anniversary on May 9th and 10th at the Central Palace of Culture of the Mongolian Trade Union.

The aim of the conference is to introduce and present current mining companies and organizations to the public, and support their cooperation. They will discuss the difficulties they face, and talk about ways to overcome them. Another important objective of the open forum is to connect investors with mining projects while also assisting growing businesses with new investors. The latest mining technology, equipment and innovations will also be discussed between the representatives of the mining industry.

The opening ceremony will include speeches from the President of Mongolia Ts. Elbegdorj, Prime Minister S. Batbold, the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy D. Zorigt and the Speaker of Parliament D. Demberel.

Additionally, representatives from the Ministry of Road, Transportation, Construction and Urban Development, the Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and the Ministry of Finance will speak on Mongolian infrastructure, environment, human resources and economy.

M.Ariunbayar, the head of the Mining Research Department at the Mineral Resources Authority said, “This whole year is to be celebrated as the 90th anniversary of the birth and development of the Mongolian mining industry. This conference will mark the first of many major events to be held,” during a press conference on April 16th .

The lead organizers at the press conference said that the work of organizing the conference is in its final stages and is essentially finished, and offered invitation to journalists and media outlets.

The beginning of the mining sector of Mongolia dates back to 1922, when the Mongolian People’s Government made significant steps toward resolving high-energy demand in Niislel Khuree city, now renamed Ulaanbaatar.

It began with the Government’s resolution on February 10, 1922, which was to begin full-scale mining and extraction operation at Nalaikh coalmine on December 25th of that year.

Later in 1939, a resolution passed by the Ministers’ Council of Mongolian People on October 6th added a mining affairs department to the Geological Study and Research Works and combined them with the then-Ministry of Industry and Construction.

For the past 90 years, the Mongolian mining sector was both subdivided and united numerous times under 20 different ministries.

In the past 90 years, over 30 ministers were responsible for the sector; notable officials include the first President of Mongolia P. Ochirbat, former Mongolian Prime Minister A. Amar, General of All Armed Forces S. Danzan, and Deputy Chair of the Ministers’ Council of Mongolian People M. Peljee.

Throughout its 90 years, the Mongolian mining sector has undergone a number of changes. Even so, it fulfilled its role as a mining sector and has always supported Mongolia financially, up to the point where it is now the most important sector in Mongolia. The mining sector of Mongolia has produced 89.2% of export products, and made up 20.2% of Mongolian GDP as of 2011.
