Australian-listed resources group Rio Tinto has for some time tried to gain approval for an expansion to underground mining at the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold operation in Mongolia. Rio owns the majority of Turquoise Hill Resources, which in turn holds two thirds of the asset while the Mongolian Government has the rest. It has now emerged that Rio is offering the Government an increased royalty take, worth $US1.6bn ($A2bn), in order to bring the negotiations to a speedy conclusion
