Doug, how are your cooking, hunting and/or gardening skills? Are you volunteering to be parachuted into the Bumbat region once the Mill is re-opened? :)

Doug, there are a number of cooks and bullcooks on site during operations. Meat and produce are purchased from local farmers. Experiments have been conducted with Bumbat's own gardens, but aside from potatos, not much was grown. The area has wolves, fox, rabbit, elk, and antelope. The Tuul River has something like Northern pike, trout, and some large salmon-like fish. The mine is located about 200 kilometres from Ulaanbaatar. About half of this is paved, two lane highway with some fairly serious potholes scattered about. One hundred kph is not unreasonable for the most part and you pass by farms and service centers, plus one town of about 2,000. The last one hundred kilometres is dirt track road that varies from deeply rutted paths across fields, steep tracks up hills, or flat, well packed tracks across plains. Average about 30 to 60 kph. Here you'd pass other farms, ranches and Zaamar, population about 2,000. MGR and partner own equity in a separate company, Bumbat Company. Bumbat Company has a mine and mill complex in Zaamar Soum (Zaamar township) where a lot of placer mining is going on. Bumbat is the name of a local mountain which at the base Bumbat Company has constructed the mine and mill. Sometimes the area has been referred to as the Bumbat Goldfield, Bumbat Gold Field, Bumbat gold field, etc. I don't think we'd win any awards internationally for our cuisine, but nationally it's some of the best eating going. The food is good, nutritious, and is a combination of Mongolian and North American foods. Dave
