- Protesters block copper exports to China from Rio Tinto mine in Mongolia
Protesters blocked copper exports from Rio Tinto's Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia, disrupting supply to China and highlighting demands for greater mining revenue sharing. The mine, 66% owned by Rio Tinto and 34% by Mongolia, contributes 9% of the country's tax revenue. A weeklong blockage could cost Mongolia $13.3 million.
