Geography


The City is at an elevation of 1300 meters and located close to the northern semi-desert edge of the Gobi Desert. Its administrated area is 144 km².[1]



Population


The population was 6,406 in 2001, and had grown to 8,510 by 2006.[2] Bor-Öndör is the second most populous city in Khentii Province after the capital Öndörkhaan.



Economy


The city's economy is dominated by Fluorspar mining and fluorspar concentrate production. The underground mine, open pit and mineral processing plant, which is the only mineral processing plant in the country, are operated by the Mongolrostsvetmet JV company. All fluorspar products are exported to the Russia, the Ukraine, and other countries by rail.[3]


In 2007 there were 39,218 heads of livestock in Bor-Öndör. However, they do not have enough pasture land due to mining.[2]



History


Fluorspar deposits were surveyed by Soviet geologists in the 1950s. In 1973, the Soviet-Mongolian (currently Russian-Mongolian) company was created, with 49% of shares held by the Soviet (now Russian) government and 51% by the Mongolian government. The mine, open pit mine, mineral processing plant and worker's housing were built by the Soviets. All production during that time was exported to the Soviet Union.
