Erdenet is the second largest city in Mongolia, located in the country's Northern Central Province, approximately 331 kilometers from the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. A major industrial center of Mongolia, Erdenet is known for its world-class copper and molybdenum mine, which is operated by a joint venture between Mongolia and Russia and is one of the mainstays of the Mongolian economy. Founded in the 1970s, the city has a population of around 100,000 and is one of the more modern cities in Mongolia with a relatively good infrastructure of schools, hospitals and cultural facilities. Located in the transition zone between steppe and forest, Erdenet is surrounded by a unique natural landscape, but its economy is highly dependent on mining and has been exploring industrial diversification in recent years.
