Oyu Tolgoi Underground Project
Oyu Tolgoi consists of a series of deposits containing copper, gold, and silver. The deposits stretch over 12 km, from the Hugo Dummett North Zone in the north through the adjacent Hugo Dummett South Zone, down to the Oyut Deposit, extending to the Heruga Deposit in the south. Over 80 per cent of Oyu Tolgoi’s potential lies underground.
