Entree sitting pretty in OT's shadow

摘要

"Closeology" can sometimes be just as valuable as geology, says Lindsay Bottomer, vice-president of business development for Entree Gold (etg-t, egi-x, eka-f), a Canadian junior explorer that has tossed its fair share of darts around a mineral bull's eye in Mongolia. "The basic science is: go where you know there are some good indications already," says Bottomer. In 2002 in the remote South Gobi region, less than 100 km from the Chinese border, Entree made the pivotal move of picking up exploration licenses for properties that just happen to surround what is now Ivanhoe Mines' (ivn-t, ivn-n) huge Oyu Tolgoi project (known as OT), the largest undeveloped gold-copper deposit in the world.
