Inside one of the largest copper mines in the world

Oyu Tolgoi CEO Deirdré Lingenfelder takes Richard through the Oyu Tolgoi Mine, a shockingly large economic powerhouse.

Great Mine, with Great people! Fun project to be part of.

[@Strollerist]

The Oyu Tolgoi (OT) mine contributes a staggering 35% to Mongolia's GDP, making it the country's largest private employer and taxpayer. Nicknamed 'the richest corner of the country,' the mine currently operates at just 20% capacity. Imagine the potential impact when it reaches full capacity! However, it's important to note that Rio Tinto, the company operating OT, has a market value 10 times greater than Mongolia's entire GDP. While the mine's potential is undeniable, it highlights the complex relationship between resource extraction and national wealth.

[@tinasheshepherd7601]

I would love to work for this mine

[@eduardopadilla9958]

they pay their people $50 dollars a day. i doubt you would want to work here

[@tinasheshepherd7601]

Yeah that’s some low wages! What about artisanal level or supervisory level? But the mine looks world class

[@eduardopadilla9958]

@@tinasheshepherd7601 they average 10 times the amount the mine workers make. They would make more if the british coperation didnt own 66% of the mine.

[@tinasheshepherd7601]

That’s the sad part of this mining industry all over the world but they must be better than here in africa were it’s $20 per day for Mine workers
