ULAN BATOR, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia exported 10.2 million tons of coal worth 858.8 million U.S. dollars in the first two months of 2025, local media reported on Wednesday, citing official data released by the country's Ministry of Road and Transport.

The figure decreased by 35.7 percent in terms of value and 3.4 times in physical volume compared to the same period last year, the data showed.

The mining sector remains one of the main pillars of the Mongolian economy, as the country is rich in natural resources such as gold, silver, copper and coal.

A significant share of Mongolia's coal production is accounted for by the Tavan-Tolgoi coal deposit, which is one of the world's largest untapped coking and thermal coal deposits, located in the southern Mongolian province of Umnugovi. It has a total estimated resource of 6.5 billion tons, one-quarter of which is high-quality coking coal. Enditem.
