The State Special Inspection Agency made a detailed study from June 15 through August 1 of how mining license holding companies complied with rules and regulations, especially as related to environmental protection and reclamation, the land law, and the water law. The exercise was undertaken on a special request from the Minister of Nature, Environment, and Tourism, who had also demarcated the parameters of the enquiry. Dornod, Sukhbaatar, and Khentii provinces were kept outside the purview of the inspection. Around 190 companies in other provinces were detected as having committed 474 violations ranging from operating without a license, to operating in areas where no archeological survey has been made, to operating without any water utilization agreement, and making no rehabilitation work.
