    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.

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

      @@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.
