The recent three-day Future Search conference, sponsored by Oyu Tolgoi LLC to focus on the future development path of Khanbogd and Manlai, the nearest towns to the mine site, drew some 70 delegates including local government and infrastructure officials, NGO representatives, local herders, businesses, students, health workers and investors.  The company’s then President and CEO, Mr. Keith Marshall, told the participants of the importance it placed on working with local communities. “Since 2004 Oyu Tolgoi has invested USD3.4 million in South Gobi community support and development projects. We estimate that this project will last for the next 40-50 years, and we will work with you to ensure that all the people who live and work around the mine area are positively affected by our operations.”
