Baganuur is a distanced district, located as an exclave of 620 square kilometres (239 sq mi) on the border between the Töv and Khentii aimags. It was created as a Soviet army base for the 12th Motor Rifle Division. Later the largest open-pit coal mine in Mongolia was built here. Baganuur city is one of the largest industrial production locations in Mongolia, especially coal mining and would rank among the country's ten largest cities. There are efforts under way to separate its administration from the capital to make it an independent city.
