The statement from the Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry notes that this volume is 5.6% higher than the results for the same period last year.
The economy of Mongolia is largely dependent on the mining sector and the export of mineral resources. From January to December 2025, mining products, including coal, copper, and iron ore, accounted for 99.2% of the total export volume of the country.
The majority of coal production in Mongolia is provided by the Tavan Tolgoi coal deposit, which is one of the largest undeveloped coking and thermal coal deposits in the world. This deposit is located in the southern aimag of Umnugovi and has estimated reserves reaching 6.5 billion tons, of which about a quarter consists of high-quality coking coals.
