I’m doing this presentation on Mining (mining student myself) and i have to do 7-10 minutes talking about mining in Mongolia. Below is how I’m kind of preparing for it. If there’s any grammar errors please help me spot em. Also I’ve got some unfinished awkward sentences in the last paragraph please help me with those. And if there’s anything that needed to be omitted or added, please suggest me. Thanks a lot in advance. I’m sorry this is a long question. But I’ll forget you as a person who did a huge favor for me. Thanks again.
Good morning everyone. My name’s bilguun batbaatar. I’m originally from Mongolia. Today I’ll be doing the presentation on Mining in Mongolia as my main topic.
For subtopics I’ll briefly discuss about the background info on Mongolia in general
And then I’ll talk about mining in Mongolia, Canadian Mongolian relationship regarding mining industry, future prospects of the industry in Mongolia. Lastly, ill briefly discuss the benefits of working overseas.
So Mongolia… It’s a place of history, beautiful natural sceneries and today a place mining.
Throughout history, Mongolians have always been known as warriors, those who like to engage in war. As a result we found, the largest contiguous empire the world has ever seen just 800 hundred years ago. (map) Here’s the picture of Genghis khan, the founder of Mongol Empire (picture). Here’s the map of Mongolia Today. Pretty small compared to the previous one. I don’t know why. We have about 2.7 million people, bordered with china on the north and Russia on the south.
Moving on… Mining in Mongolia. (slide) Mongolia is a very rich country in terms of natural resources and minerals. We have a variety of different minerals such as gold, lead, copper, oil tin and uranium. Although we are very rich in minerals we don’t have expertise, technology to bring…..As a result we need mutually beneficial foreign investment, expertise in the field. And Canada happens to be the perfect example for that. Canada and Mongolia have a cooperative bilateral relationship which includes significant Canadian investment in the mining sector. Here’s an example. (slide) Ivanhoe mines is a Vancouver based mining company that has its biggest asset in Mongolia called The oyu tolgoi deposit and it is considered one of the largest copper and gold deposits in the world. It’s under construction and scheduled to start production in late 2012.
People in the mining field travel a lot. And some of you might be interested in coming to Mongolia and work after graduation. In that case, you are all welcome to come.
