During the award ceremony, President Battulga gave congratulatory remarks in which he stressed the importance of the work that received the State Prize.
The Geology and Mineral Resources of Mongolia is
the first compilation work of materials containing geological studies on the
territory of Mongolia by Mongolian geologists in the last 30-60 years. At a
time of increasing investment into geological and mineral resources sectors,
the books are intended to fulfill the needs of national and international geologists. The work serves as a handbook and reference to students of geology, given the
inadequacy of textbooks written in Mongolian on this subject. Not only will
this work help accelerate regional and national development, it is also highly
important in promoting Mongolia abroad and strengthening Mongolia’s
independence.
Moreover, the work
engaged more than 50 scholars and geologists representing the Institute of
Geology-Mineral Resources and Center of Paleontology of the Mongolian Academy
of Sciences, the National University of Mongolia, the Mongolian University of
Science and Technology, and the private sector.
