Jeff Tygesen, CEO of  Vancouver-based Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ),  which owns 66% of the massive Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine in the south Gobi, was bullish on Mongolia, the start of the Oyu Tolgoi underground phase and future global demand for copper. Interviewed on Bloomberg TV News Canada on June 17, he said he has not heard one word from Rio Tinto about increasing its stake in Turquoise Hill but  a “lot of people have interest in Oyu Tolgoi” which will be one of the three largest copper mines in the world.
