Introduction Summary
The overview talks about how their economy was really down their, but then they started to become higher in the world. Their economy was just a farming and agriculture economy, and thats all they would sell. What they didn't know is that their were a ton of minerals right below their feet. They figured out that, so then they made the Oyu Tolgi Mine. The mine finds minerals like Gold, Copper, Uranium, tungsten, gold, and Molybdenum. Then they started selling that to mostly China. then the Soviets wanted the mine , so they tried to pay for it. Mongolia didn't give it to them. The thing is Mongolia received at the time things like gas, electricity, and other supplies from the Soviets. The when that was happening the Chinese started gaining less interest in all of the minerals that they were mining. Mongolia still held on to it and are a good country.
