The present year should see production
volume at Oyu Tolgoi surpass that of Erdenet, according to the latest
update on the project jointly presented by the Prime Minister and
Erdenes OT directors in December. While output until the end of 2013
totalled 250,000tons of copper concentrate – of which 70,000 tons were
exported through Gants Mod port – the target for 2014 is to produce
690,000 tons of copper concentrate, which is 200,000 tons more than what
Erdenet will.
