Uranium Deposits in Mongolia
Soviet and Mongolian geologists began exploring for uranium in Mongolia in the 1940s. From 1967 to 1988 more systematic exploration for uranium was undertaken, and four major uranium deposits were defined in Mongolia, the Priargun, Gobi-Tamtsag, Khentii-Daur, and Northern Mongolian uranium provinces. Uranium deposits of economic value were discovered in the Dornod, Gurvanbulag, and Mardai areas of eastern Mongolia and the Kharaat area of southern Mongolia. The proven Uranium resources of Mongolia in these deposits are about 62,000 metric tons.
