Mineral law amendments put security, ecology before profit in Mongolia

A member of the working group that is preparing amendments to the law on mineral resources, MP D.Gankhuyag, has said that the group wants the amended law to focus on mine workers’ security and health first, then on protection to nature and ecology, and only thereafter on profit.


The group has also discussed the role in mining of local authorities and concession claimants.

The new law should be adopted before April 30 when the deadline for suspension of granting mineral resources exploration and exploitation licenses ends. The working group is coordinating with the Office of the President and the Mineral Resources Authority to make this possible.
