The Mongolian National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (MNCCI) has sent an open note to all MPs about the delay
in formally naming the operators of the Tavantolgoi deposit. There is suspicion
that Parliament deliberately put off discussion on the issue before it ended
the Spring session. There is also talk that following pressure from some
politicians and businessmen, the 39^th Order of Parliament regarding
the deposit mine could be amended.

The note says that the MNCCI, on
behalf of the private sector in the country, placed great importance on
implementation of the order, which was passed on July 7, 2010. It also says the
MNCCI favored the Government to have a bigger role in managing the mining of
the deposit.
