MRC Code

• MRC Code is introduced several times as above activities.

• Reporting by MRC Code was regulated on Oct 2014 but no reports prepared yet.

Discussion is ongoing with MSE and need more effort.

• Translation of MRC code into Mongolian was difficult since there were technical

words which have meanings its original meaning. Mostly they don’t have

translation word in Mongolian. Lack of practical experience in some particular

areas as well. As many of you know that Mongolian western style of mining is

recent as well as the terms.

• Translation was done couple of times by several sources but most clauses and

terms were translated wrong with above reason.

• Thus, translation by me and MRC reviewed version is ready to publish as called

version 1. Any comment is welcome for the further correction if there is.

Registered Professionals
