'One understanding of the project – transparency' forum – 21 May 2013
Ladies and Gentlemen and distinguished guests
I am delighted to be here today on behalf of Oyu Tolgoi LLC to introduce the project.
My presentation covers the initial history of the Oyu Tolgoi project and its achievements up until today. The second part of the presentation, on project management systems, will be done by Tulga, IT department manager, as a case study of the IT department.
The Oyu Tolgoi project is ranked as the largest project in the history of Mongolia and is currently one of the largest mega projects in the world. We have constructed an open pit mine and a concentrator in the Gobi desert, without any previous infrastructure, in less than 30 months.
This achievement is the result of sustainable partnerships between our government and our investors. About 18 thousand engineering-technical personnel, from 44 UN member countries, have been working together to achieve this historic record in Umnugobi aimag.
When we started geological exploration work at Oyu Tolgoi, about a decade ago, we never imagined that these small brown hills would contain such enormous copper reserves. Today, this has become one of the topics of the project, of most interest to the public.
