Mining ore and processing of fluorite
"Mongolrostsvetmet" is mining fluorite ore from Bor-Undur underground mine and Khukh Del / Tuv unegt and Zuun unegt / open pit mine. The fluorite ore from these mines are processed in the concentration plant of Bor-Undur mining complex and produce Fluorspar acid concentrate (FF-97, FF-95) and metallurgical fluorspar (FK-75) as final products. The concentration plant is the largest Fluorspar concentrate processing plant in Mongolia.
