Tavan Tolgoi is the second largest mining investment in Mongolia, following the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine.

On March 21.2008, government took 93.6 percent of Tavan Tolgoi’s license from Energy Resources. About four percent of the total area will be retained by Energy Resources.” Although 4 percent share seems like a small portion, it is estimated to hold 400 million tons of coal reserve, of which 170 million tons is confirmed. Mining license of Tavan Tolgoi was transferred from “Energy Resource” LLC to “Erdenes MGL” LLC. This resolution was made on the basis of the fact that this deposit was included in the strategic deposit because of its exploration expenditure was provided by the state.
