Margad-Erdene.D
Miner
Greetings! I am Margad-Erdene Dolgormaa, 22 years of age. I am part of the younger generations who live and work in Bayankhongor province. Last year marked the beginning of my career in mining, with me taking up a job in the mining department.
My first foray into the mining industry had no prior preparation. As soon as I stepped foot at Naran Mandal Gold Operations and met the hardworking people here, I felt a sense of pride in them and their collective capabilities. Every employee was clearly passionate about team effort, cooperation and helping each other out. At Naran Mandal, safety is highly prioritized; employees constantly talk about how the most important asset that comes out of the mine is them – the miners! When I first started to work, I often felt disheartened.
There were various unknowns that I had to tackle and managing workloads proved exhausting. My self-confidence took a hit too during this period; however, it was the strong bond with my colleagues that spurred me forward. We are all friends who care for each other beyond work hours. In particular, whenever I was presented with a new challenge or unfamiliar task, my peers would lend a helping hand through mentoring and guidance.
I am incredibly proud to be part of the driving force behind the economic growth of Mongolia, where almost 90% of the country’s economy is powered by mining. I am proud to be making a positive contribution towards this great development. As a young man, I am eager to learn and develop my skills so that I can one day reach my dream of becoming the youngest mine director in Mongolia. I am working hard to gain the knowledge and experience that will enable me to be promoted to supervisor or engineer and eventually reach this goal.
Ulsbold.D
Shift Supervisor
Greetings, I’m Ulsbold Dulmaa, a 30-year-old who lives with his daughter and wife in Darkhan-Uul Province. Having started as a miner, I have now been promoted to the role of Shift Supervisor.
Presently, our Naran Mandal Gold Operations includes three extraction pits: Kherlen Incline, Tuul Incline, and Onon Incline. As the shift supervisor of Onon Incline, my daily tasks are mainly underground development along with various other secondary activities. Now, the Onon incline is descending to about 450 meters. In order to solve the problem of ventilation, the measures taken by our mine is vent raise. The total length of our raise excavation is 60 meters. Currently, it is progressing 35 meters.
My background had been in the mining industry, yet I was unaware of the specifics of underground mining until joining this culture-filled circle. With each passing day, I am gaining greater insight and experience in the operation of underground mines. Working at Naran Mandal Gold offers an inviting atmosphere amongst peers, as well as secure employment with a solid compensation package and benefits. Additionally, the advantage of international investment is evident in the presence of several foreign workers that give lectures on cutting-edge mining techniques.
I intend to become an operational engineer or planning engineer within the next decade and eventually aim to secure a job in this firm as an engineer. Having a competitive salary, pension, and benefits allows one to enjoy a higher quality of life. To those who have recently joined the workforce, be brave, be strong and be yourself. Most importantly love your family.
