The Mongolian government and the developer of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project have settled an incipient dispute about the project's ownership structure. Ivanhoe Mines has a planned 66% stake in the project, while Rio Tinro owns 49% of Ivanhoe, and Mongolia owns 34% of the project. Mongolia's finance minister had indicated that he wanted to increase this stake at a faster rate than planned, but the three parties have confirmed that the 2009 investment agreement for the mine still stands.
