Mongolia Mining Report Q1 2012 by Business Monitor International

MarketResearch.com: Mongolia's mining sector is set to grow at an average annual real rate of 25.2% from 2010 levels to reach US$12.8bn by 2015. Growth will be led by a rampant increase in coal, copper and gold production. The bulk of this growth will occur in 2013 as the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine begins commercial production. There is an upside risk to our forecast as development of the massive Tavan Tolgoi mine could commence in the coming years.
