It is disappointing that this small group of herders feels the need to refer the matter to the Compliance Adviser/Ombudsman, but we recognise their right to do so and will fully cooperate with any review...The Project has not forced a single herder to resettle…Oyu Tolgoi is committed to thoroughly investigating all animal deaths caused by Oyu Tolgoi…No herders have been forced to sign compensation agreements, which were developed according to Rio Tinto’s Community Policy and Standards as well as IFC guidelines and through a consultative process…We recognize the importance of access to water and pasture and maintain a traditional way of life. We have a number of programs in place to minimize our impact on the lives of the community.
