Description
In 1907, Baron von Grot, who was exploring for gold in these two provinces of northern Mongolia, formed this company with French and Belgian participation, to mine gold on the banks of the Selenga River. Its shares were also listed in Europe, where the company was known as “Mongol-Or”. The concession was later taken over by an American company, who never developed it.
In 1921 the major ‘Mongolian’ concessions were granted, to include this area. Today, the Canadian-owned Boroo and Gatsuurt Mines operate in the area by the Selenga River. The two khans in the company name were two of the descendants of Ghenghis Khan, who ruled the area of these 2 aimaks or regions. (source: Boone auction October 2021)
