Then a geological reconnaissance group in Bulgar aimag, headed by Soviet geologists E.I.Martovitskim and V.S.Kalininym, and
Mongolian geologist Tumenbayarom, spent here a deeper intelligence work necessary for the operation of the field within 20 months. By the autumn of 1972 the estimated size of

Erdenetiyn-ovoo has its own history. According to legend, Chinese miners extracted copper there in earlier times, but during a storm, they were struck by lightning. Since then, the mountain Erdenetiyn-ovoo has been considered sacred, and the locals performed rituals to the mountain so it would

After completion of the joint
Mongolian-Czechoslovak exploration, Mongolian exploration work has continued under the direction of the party chief and chief engineer, Tumenbayara geologist G.Sanduyzhava. This party conducted preliminary exploration of the field, continued to conduct mining and

In 1964-68 a joint
Mongolian-Czechoslovak geological party at the field-Erdenetiyn ovoo conducted geological prospecting and prospect evaluation, including mid-and large-scale geological and geochemical surveying, and mining and drilling operations. These studies estimated reserves of

Mongolia, and M.Krauter, engineer-geologist and head of geology st the Central Geological Survey of the Council of Ministers of the MPR Dugersuren. They agreed to start geological investigations at the site in 1964.

In 1963, a
Erdenetiyn ovoo geological inspection team led by Soviet geologists Agamolyana and Ushakov made a geological map of 1:25000 scale of the site, and dug several pits and trenches. Their work produced an estimate for the probable reserves of copper ore of 150 million tons.

In the early 1960s the
Mongolian national geological organization began to actively cooperate with the geological institutions of European socialist countries, including Czechoslovakia. The first joint Czech-Mongolian geological expedition in 1962 carried out this mission in

Geological field studies at
Erdenetiyn-ovoo began in the late 1950s. In the years 1958-59 a geological survey under the guidance of geologists for the first time examined Erdenetiyn-ovoo, but rated it as not having practical value.
