State owned Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi is one of the most important companies in Mongolia. Recently, the enterprise came back to life, as some of the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic were lifted. Thus, between 1 and 12 April, it produced a total of 3.5 million tonnes of coal from its East and West Tsankh mines located in the South Gobi Province. The company has transported a total of 321 thousand of tonnes coal and exported nearly 6000 tonnes of coal to China. In other words, Erdenes TT is now operating at almost normally rates after Mongolia reopened its border with China earlier this month. The country closed its borders with China in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus in mid-February.
