Mining: Oyu Tolgoi, Gobi of Mongolia New door installations

nnnn

Reliable door performance in a tough environment

nnnn

The world's largest undeveloped copper

nnnn

deposit, which also turns out to include

nnnn

significant deposits of gold and silver, is

nnnn

located in the Gobi of Mongolia at a site

nnnn

called Oyu Tolgoi, which means "Turquoise

nnnn

Hill". The Oyu Tolgoi site is the signature

nnnn

feature of Ivanhoe Mine's flagship project.

nnnn

The concentrator's quickly evolving shape

nnnn

is a barometer of the pace of the full-scale

nnnn

construction now underway on what will

nnnn

be one of the world's largest copper, gold

nnnn

and silver mining complexes. The concentrator

nnnn

initially will process 100,000 tonnes of ore

nnnn

perday minedfromthe open pit, increasingto

nnnn

up to 160,000 tonnes a day when ore from

nnnn

the underground mine is added in 2015.

nnnn

During the first 10 years of production, the

nnnn

complex will produce a projected average

nnnn

of 1.2 billion pounds of copper, 650,000

nnnn

ounces of gold and three million ounces of

nnnn

silver - every year.

nnnn

Challenges / Critical Issues

nnnn

High Wind load: Wind speed in the

nnnn

Gobi desert can reach up to 200 km/h.

nnnn

Doors need to withstand the wind

nnnn

loads of hurricanes.

nnnn

Cold Weather: Winter temperature

nnnn

in the Gobi desert can reach as low as

nnnn

-35- -40° C. All building facilities and

nnnn

equipments must perform at extremely

nnnn

low temperatures.

nnnn

Excessively dusty condition: The dust

nnnn

and sand in Gobi desert makes the

nnnn

building difficult to keep clean. The

nnnn

workshop needs to stay clean for equipment/

nnnn

truck repairs and maintenance.

nnnn

No immediate service: Immediate service

nnnn

is difficult to achieve in the deep de-

nnnn

sert. All facilities need to be reliable

nnnn

and stable. Highly reliable equipment

nnnn

with low service and maintenance

nnnn

needs help keep downtime to a mini-

nnnn

mum.
