If the Parliament approves the draft resolution, railroads with length of 280km en route Zuunbayan-Khangi and 780 km en route Erdenet-Artssuuri will be built. It is expected that new railways will increase competence of export of raw materials and products, and make significant contribution to the economy.
Although iron ore will be mainly transported through Zuunbayan-Khangi railway, it is also possible to transport coaking coal, copper concentrate, construction materials and metal products.
Erdenet-Artssuuri railway will be connected to the Kyzyl-Kuragin railway of the Tuva Republic of the Russian Federation. By doing so, a new transit transport corridor that connects Europe and Asia will be established, allowing Mongolia to reach the third market and sea ports, using railway trasport network of the two neighboring countries.
