Her father is employed at the mining site and the family lives in a common traditional Mongolian circular structure made out of felt called a Ger. The Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine (translated means Turquiose Hill) is a combined open pit and underground mining project. While the construction continues open pit mining is currently underway with full production expected later in 2012. When the mine starts full operation the country will be set to become one of the world's top copper and gold producers with estimates of 450,000 tons of copper and 330,000 ounces of gold. Financing for the project has come in part from the Rio Tinto Group and an investment agreement between Ivanhoe Mines and the government of Mongolia. Mongolia’s largest foreign investment project to date is projected to increase the country’s GDP by 35%. Many estimate Mongolia to be the world's fastest growing economy with an estimated $1.3 trillion in untapped mineral resources.

While the construction continues open pit mining is currently underway with full production expected later in 2012. When the mine starts full operation the country will be set to become one of the world's top copper and gold producers with estimates of 450,000 tons of copper and 330,000 ounces of gold. Financing for the project has come in part from the Rio Tinto Group and an investment agreement between Ivanhoe Mines and the government of Mongolia. Mongolia’s largest foreign investment project to date which is projected to add one-third of future value to the country’s GDP.

The police picked up a dozen boys to get them off the streets in the cold weather housing them at the Ulaan Bataar Child Welfare/ detention center sponsored by World Vision. There about 45 kids live in the dormitory where they get hot food, showers, and some educational activities until their parents claim them. Before the children can go into more permanent shelters they are kept in the welfare center for up to 6 months. After that the state labels them as being abandoned or orphaned. Mongolia suffers with a very high number of alcoholics, all consuming cheap Mongolian vodka that is readily available to the poor and the unemployed, Many Mongolians have immigrated to the capitol city from the far away provinces seeking employment, living in rented traditional circular felt yurts with no running water or electricity. The problem is severe causing the number of street children to rise, fleeing their abusive, dysfunctional homes. Some children are regularly beaten at home, and for the impoverished it is common to send the child out to make money.

About 2,500 Chinese workers are contracted to help with construction onsite. The Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine (translated means Turquiose Hill) is a combined open pit and underground mining project. While the construction continues open pit mining is currently underway with full production expected later in 2012. When the mine starts full operation the country will be set to become one of the world's top copper and gold producers with estimates of 450,000 tons of copper and 330,000 ounces of gold. Financing for the project has come in part from the Rio Tinto Group and an investment agreement between Ivanhoe Mines and the government of Mongolia. Mongolia’s largest foreign investment project to date is projected to increase the country’s GDP by 35%. Many estimate Mongolia to be the world's fastest growing economy with an estimated $1.3 trillion in untapped mineral resources.

In the past few months the region's summer captiol has witnessed the biggest pro-independence demonstrations since the separatist insurgency erupted in 1989. The protests have triggered a heavy crackdown by Indian security forces including many strict curfews and with that tourist numbers have dropped significantly. Continous disturbances have brought down hotel occupancy from 100 percent in May 2008 to almost zero in September 2008," according to government statements.
