The Nariin Sukhait or Ovoot Tolgoi mining complex (Mongolian: Нарийн Сухайт / Овоот Толгой) is located in the Gurvan tes sum (district) of Ömnögovi Province in Southern Mongolia. The site is 25 km SE from sum center and 56 km north of - Ceke crossing point on the Mongolian-Chinese border.

Three companies operate at Nariin Sukhait Mine as independent coal producers, namely, Mongolyn Alt Corporation LLC,[1] Mongolia; and Mongolian-Chinese JV "Qinhua-MAK-Nariin Sukhait" LLC; as well as South Gobi Energy Resources Inc (a subsidiary of Ivanhoe Mines Inc), through its local subsidiary South Gobi Sands LLC.[2]

Nariin Sukhait is reported to hold about 380 million mt of resources of high-rank, low-ash, low-sulphur metallurgical and steam coal,[3] of which 220 million mt of resources belong to the licenses of Mongolyn Alt Corporation LLC[1] and 160 million mt of coal[4] is delineated under the licenses of South Gobi Energy Resources Inc.

In 2008 the mine produced and sold about 1.9 million mt of coal in total (2005 - 1.7 million mt)[5] of which Mongolian-Chinese JV "Qinhua-MAK-Nariin Sukhait" LLC exported 1.2 million mt; Mongolyn Alt Corporation LLC marketed 0.635 million mt; and South Gobi Energy Resources Inc sold 0.113 million mt.

In accordance with the Special Permit for the construction of railway from the Nariin Sukhait mine to the Mongolian-Chinese border granted to Mongolyn Alt Corporation LLC, the construction of the 47.8-km railway from the mine to the presently existing railhead at Ceke is scheduled to start up in early 2010.
