The new Rio Tinto office will support the company’s exploration programme and technology centre and have a sharp focus on growing relationships with all partners in Mongolia.
Munkhtushig Dul has been appointed as Rio Tinto’s country director and will lead the new Rio Tinto office.
Munkhtushig will work in coordination with the Oyu Tolgoi LLC team, led by managing director Armando Torres.
The new office, which will be separate from Oyu Tolgoi LLC, will house Rio Tinto’s Exploration (RTX) team and the Mongolia Delivery Centre (MDC), the local branch of Rio Tinto's Information Systems and Technology (IS&T) team.
The MDC team will help service Rio Tinto’s global operations.
