Mongolia exported 25 million tons of coal in the first four months of 2025, local media reported on Tuesday, citing official data released by the country's Ministry of Finance.
The figure decreased by 44 percent in terms of value since the beginning of this year, the data showed.
The mining sector remains one of the main pillars of the Mongolian economy, as the country is rich in natural resources such as gold, silver, copper and coal.
A significant share of Mongolia's coal production is accounted for by the Tavan-Tolgoi coal deposit, which is one of the world's largest untapped coking and thermal coal deposits, located in the southern Mongolian province of Umnugovi. It has a total estimated resource of 6.5 billion tons, one-quarter of which is high-quality coking coal.
