Rio Tinto in Mongolian power struggle: "A power solution for one of Rio Tinto's most prospective mines remains elusive, raising doubts over whether plans to be in production within six months can be achieved.
The Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine in Mongolia looms as one of Rio Tinto's most exciting growth projects on the back of the company's recent takeover of Oyu Tolgoi's majority owner Ivanhoe Mines.
But difficulties in delivering power to the mine's remote location in the Gobi desert are continuing to fester, with Ivanhoe confirming that a deal to import power from China had still not been reached."
