This document discusses value adding to minerals in Mongolia. It provides examples of typical mineral operations including exploration, mining, processing, and chemical extraction. Value can be added by producing purer or more sophisticated products, decreasing environmental impact, and building capabilities for the future. The document outlines Mongolian researchers' achievements in processing rare earth elements and molybdenite. It also discusses potential industrial applications of geopolymers using fly ash from ongoing power plant projects in Mongolia. Mongolian scientists are interested in cooperating to enable value addition of minerals at an industrial scale.
