The Mongolian government has already granted the project a fully transferable 30 year mining license that can be extended by an additional 40 years. The Ulaan Ovoo project has also met Mongolian environmental approvals as per the Mongolian Ministry of Nature and the Environment which approved a Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) and Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) specifically for Ulaan Ovoo.
