Maybe the government spokesman meant Naadam 2010, since this Naadam is over.

Meanwhile, as only happens in Third World countries the Licenses of a number of Canadian companies have been suspended for non-specific reasons. I have yet to see non-specific reasons causing suspension of an operating license in a western country, including most south American countries. I have never seen a concession lost except for not either paying cash due or not filing an assessment report.............only in the dark secret recesses of the Mongolian beurocracy does anyone know why.........maybe? It is certainly not clear to the general public.

And the Oyu Tolgoi saga drags on as Mr. de gruben predicted. Is there another election or national holiday coming due? Maybe the government will wait until that is near to suggest the agreement maybe completed before then!

I hope it is true, we all have been waiting for years.

We have been shocked more than one time for this kind of news, I wish no shock agian.

This what analysts think about the ability of the Mongolian Parliment to finally get their act together and pass the legislation after 6 years.

"Despite the support of both major parties, the MPRP and the DP, caucus discipline is much weaker in Mongolia than in, say, Canada," said Salman Partners analyst Raymond Goldie.

"Thus passage of the legislation authorizing the agreement is by no means assured before parliament breaks for summer," he said.

On mine the main reason of a delay of this contract is aspiration of Ivanhoe Mines and Rio Tinto to conclude for themself the favourable contract. In my opinion it not the extortionate contract equal in rights.

I hope this is true - this will be the best news we all awaiting for!!
