The Ulaan-Uul mine (Mongolian: Улаан Уул, red mountain) is an underground mine located in the Nogoonnuur sum of Khovd aimag in western Mongolia.
Ulaan-Uuul exploits the Kyzyl Tau ore field. The main ore minerals in the veins are wolframite, fluorite, beryl and minor molybdenite.[1] The reserves are estimated at 3.100 tons of wolfram at an ore concentration of 1.3 - 3.4%.[2]
