Tavan Tolgoi – Gant smod Road for Export
Tavan Tolgoi – Gant smod Road for Export
The road connecting the Tavan Tolgoi–Gashuunsukhait border crossing forms the main mining export corridor between Mongolia and China and is of significant importance in improving cross-border logistics and transportation networks, thereby making a tangible contribution to the road infrastructure component of the “Belt and Road” Initiative. The Tavan Tolgoi deposit, with estimated reserves of approximately 7.6 billion tonnes, is considered one of the world’s largest coking coal deposits, and the annual volume of coal exports transported via this road is estimated at 40–50 million tonnes.
In addition to enhancing Mongolia’s export flows, this corridor goes beyond bilateral trade by more deeply integrating Mongolia into the growing flows of goods and transport across the Eurasian continent. In other words, the road provides a strategic foundation for increasing the competitiveness of Mongolia’s exports, expanding market access into Central Asia and broader Eurasian economic regions, and positioning Mongolia as a key regional logistics and supply chain hub.
The Road Policy and Coordination Department of the Ministry of Road and Transport Development has assessed the road construction works and confirmed that, as of 30 October 2025, overall project progress had reached 83.1%. The company’s management team, together with more than 500 employees of EPC contractor, 124 units of heavy machinery, and a network of main and subcontractors supported by 12 equipment suppliers, is working toward completing and commissioning this export road by the third quarter of 2026.

The project allows annual export volumes to reach 30–50 million tons while reducing transportation costs two to threefold.
The project will eliminate transportation on scattered dirt roads, reduce dust pollution by 90%, restore degraded soils, and maintain ecosystem balance.
This modern road, equipped with lighting and traffic markings, ensures compliance with safety standards and reduces accidents.
Preparation of Feasibility Study, Detailed Engineering Design, and Financing Agreements
With earthworks, bridges, culverts, and pavement works underway, the project has reached 83.1% completion.
Carry out trial transport operations and submit to the national commission.
Comparison between Total National Exports and Port Performance
The coking coal deposits of the Tavan Tolgoi group are among Mongolia’s strategically significant mineral resources, ranking within the world’s top ten in terms of reserves. With the commissioning of the project road, the main flow of coal export transportation from major mines such as Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi, Energy Resources, and Tavan Tolgoi will be supported. This will ensure reliable and stable transportation of the majority of Mongolia’s coal exports, while also making a strategic contribution to the growth of the country’s GDP, export revenues, and budget income.
