Bayankhongor placer is located within a prominent gold belt in southcentral Mongolia. The deposit is primarily gold-bearing but its proximity to the Bayankhongor ophiolite complex makes it an important area for potential exploitation of PGE as by-products. Weathering of the Bayankhongor ophiolitic complex contributed to a placer deposit.
