Mongolia’s Vast Copper Resources and the Opportunity in Electrification

Copper

Enough copper for 6 million electric vehicles. Every year.

At full production, Oyu Tolgoi — a partnership between the Government of Mongolia and Rio Tinto — sits on one of the largest known copper deposits in the world.

By 2030, it is projected to rank as the fourth largest copper mine globally.

Electrification runs on copper. Mongolia has it.
