 If the Mongolian Mining industry is to grow substantially as many in Mongolia would like to see it must do so responsibly and demonstrate that it has the highest regard for the best record of performance in the world. We have all heard and read about the horrible accident records in the mine of other countries. We have also all read of the historic record of the mining industry and how it was considered a working environment to avoid.
The modern mining industry is not that way now and can demonstrate it can perform with a safety record as good as any industry sector. Our challenge in Mongolia is to prove that we can learn how the safe industry works and duplicate it so that the growth of mining in Mongolia is something we can all be proud of. Newspapers like to print front page stories of mining accidents. We want to prevent the Mongolian newspapers from having that opportunity because we have adopted the best practices in the world.
