Rio Tinto Resumes Oyu Tolgoi Copper Exports After 1-Day Mongolia Road Blockade

Summary
Rio Tinto restarted copper concentrate exports from Mongolia’s Oyu Tolgoi mine after protesters ended a road blockade that had halted truck shipments to the Chinese border.
The protest began Wednesday morning local time on a key haul route, briefly disrupting exports from one of the world’s largest copper mines.
The reason for the action was not immediately clear, but Oyu Tolgoi remains politically sensitive in Mongolia, where the government has pushed for a larger share of mining revenue.
