Mongolia has considerable reserves and resources. Two main types of gold mineralization are familiar in country which are placer gold and hard rock gold. The placer gold deposits explored at a sufficient level and they are in active exploitation. The hard rock gold deposits are prospected at low level and have reasonable potential to explore. Only Boroo gold hard rock deposit is produced over 70 tons of gold and others are under development stage. Gold is also mined from porphyry type copper mine.
