Thanks for your thoughts. I don't know why the miners contribute more to Mongolia's gold production, but I'm aligned to your rationale. Good to hear from you Amy! Thanks for your thoughts.

I have some students from Mongolia, and it's interesting to read about this impact on the environment--and even more than that, the impact on the people and their way of life. I'm curious... why are these "ninja" miners producing more gold than the former mining sector? I assumed excessive government restrictions or regulations were involved, but the NPR piece mentions the government "turns a blind eye" to the illegal mining. Nate,
