Rio Tinto refutes claims that Oyu Tolgoi agreements are illegal

Global miner Rio Tinto on Tuesday refuted suggestions that the underground mine development and financing plan (UDP) or any other foundational agreements for the Oyu Tolgoi mine, in Mongolian, were illegal.

This comes as the Administrative Court upheld claims by the Darkhan Mongol Nogoon Negdel nongovernmental organisation (NGO) that the government of Mongolia did not follow due process in finalising the UDP.
