During his state visit to the Czech Republic, U.Khurelsukh, the President of Mongolia, held a meeting with and paid tribute to senior Czech geologist Mojmir Krauter at the Mongolian Embassy’s residence in Prague.
M.Krauter, now 98 years old, led a joint Mongolian-Czechoslovak geological team in the 1960s that played a key role in discovering and mapping the Erdenet copper deposit within just two years. This deposit later became the foundation of the Erdenet Mining Corporation, one of Mongolia’s most important industrial projects.
President U.Khurelsukh expressed his deep gratitude for M.Krauter’s contributions, emphasizing the lasting impact of his work on Mongolia’s economic development and the livelihoods of its people. As a token of appreciation, the President presented the geologist with a collection of historical photographs from his time working in Mongolia.
In response, M.Krauter thanked the President for the tribute and acknowledged the continued care and recognition from the Mongolian Embassy in Prague. He fondly recalled his years working in Mongolia, describing the country as his “second homeland,” and expressed his best wishes to the Mongolian people, particularly those in Erdenet.
After his work in Mongolia, M.Krauter returned to Czechoslovakia, where he served as the editor-in-chief of Geological Research magazine. In 1980, he took on the role of director at the Mongolian-Czechoslovak Metal Plant in Mongolia, further strengthening scientific and industrial cooperation between the two nations.
