Mongolian case 'may take time' Carr says

Foreign Minister Bob Carr says it may take some time to resolve the case of an Australian lawyer prevented from leaving Mongolia.

Sarah Armstrong was stopped at Ulaanbaatar airport earlier this month because authorities want to question her about allegations of corruption.

The 32-year-old is a mining lawyer for Rio Tinto subsidiary SouthGobi Resources.

She hasn't been arrested or charged and still has her passport.

Ms Armstrong faced lengthy questioning at the weekend but Australian officials were prevented from being present.
