Sarah Armstrong, 32, works for SouthGobi Resources, a subsidiary of mining giant Rio Tinto.
Ms Armstrong was detained at the airport in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar on Friday.
She has been questioned by anti-corruption officials in relation to activities at a coal mine in the country's south.
The attache of the Mongolian embassy in Canberra, Hantulga Galaazagraa, has told the ABC that Ms Armstrong is a witness in a case alleging unpaid tax by a mining company.
