ЗГХФ Уул уурхайн бодлогын үзэл баримтлалын үнэлгээ: Монгол Улс

The report evaluates Mongolia's mining sector governance across six themes: legal and policy environment, financial benefit optimization, socio-economic benefit optimization, environmental management, mine closure transition, and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). While Mongolia demonstrates strengths in transparency (EITI participation) and professional human resources, it faces significant challenges in mine closure planning, waste management, and the formalization of ASM. The assessment concludes that Mongolia's overall implementation level of the IGF framework is 'average', with critical gaps in financial guarantees for mine closure and the lack of a comprehensive system for monitoring environmental impacts on water and biodiversity.

• Mongolia has a high level of transparency regarding mining revenues, having implemented the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) for 10 years.
• There is a critical lack of a clear system for planning and coordinating mine closures, including insufficient financial guarantees to cover actual restoration costs.
• Environmental management is weak, particularly regarding the monitoring of water quality and quantity, and the oversight of high-risk waste facilities like tailings dams.
• The government lacks a clear set of criteria for classifying deposits as 'strategic', leading to ambiguity regarding which laws and regulations apply to such sites.
• Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is a significant livelihood source, but operators face legal and technical barriers to formalization.
• Child labor exists in the ASM sector, with an estimated 15-18% of informal miners being children, primarily boys, according to a 2013 Asian Development Bank study.
• Public consultation during the project planning and assessment phases is often limited and fails to include a broad representation of stakeholders.
