G. Ankhbayar, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, has
said Discover Mongolia 2010 will offer international mining investors a
resourceful base to launch and expand businesses, establish new contacts, and
learn of the latest developments and make deals. After a year’s absence, the
founding members of the Forum have come together again and this year’s meeting,
scheduled to be held in Ulaanbaatar from September 8-10, will have more value.
The goal is to reinvigorate the business and entrepreneurial spirit of the
participating investors by boosting the quality, content and scope of the Forum
events. These will include a mining conference; the Government Hour, where
Government officials directly discuss Government policies in the mineral
industry with participants; an investors’ exhibition; a mine tour and a fishing
tour.

The Forum was started in 2003 at the initiative of a
group of proactive mineral consultancies which included Mine Info LLC and
Monrud LLC, and also the Mongolian National Mining Association (MNMA), the
largest professional NGO in mining in the country. The 7th forum last year was
organized by MNMA on its own.
