Flight tickets price might be cut by 20-40 percent www.montsame.mn

 
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Price of flight tickets can be reduced by 20-40 percent, said the officials during a press conference held yesterday, June 13, by the Ministry of Road and Transport Development, the General Authority of Civil Aviation, Hunnu Air and Aero Mongolia Companies.
 
“The Ministry has been seeking opportunities of lowering the ticket prices through persuading to amend the international air relations agreements of Mongolia. Initially, the agreement between Mongolian and South Korean civil aviations is being changed, so that passengers can enjoy cheaper flights”, said Deputy Minister B.Tsogtgerel.
 
According to him, the government has been making efforts to maintain a price liberation policy and increase frequency of flights. Chairman of the General Authority of Civil Aviation L.Byambasuren informed the gathered that, for the above mentioned objective, Hunnu Air has been conducting direct flights to Ulan-Ude of Russia and MIAT, to Busan of South Korea.
 
MIAT has released a new flight route from Seoul to Busan, and intends to fly directly to Bangkok.
 
The negotiation meeting is expected to take place in Ulaanbaatar on June 28 and 29 on amending the air relations agreement between Mongolia and South Korea.
 
Deputy Minister B.Tsogtgerel told that he has met with the delegates of the South Korean Asiana Airlines the day before, and that the visiting delegates have proposed to conduct direct flights between Incheon and Ulaanbaatar.

Goldman Sachs: Bitcoin is looking 'heavy' www.businessinsider.com

 
Bitcoin has had a blistering start to 2017. It's up about 180% so far this year. However, its near-term outlook isn't looking so hot, according to a note released on Monday by Goldman Sachs head of technical strategy Sheba Jafari.
"The market has come close (enough?) to reaching its extended (2.618) target for a 3rd of V-waves from the inception low at 3,134," Jafari wrote. "It’s on track to forming a bearish key day reversal if today’s close settles below 2,749."
Bitcoin hit a lifetime high of nearly $3,000 a coin on Monday, but was unable to hold onto those gains. The cryptocurrency finished the day at $2,599, well below the key technical threshold of $2,749 that was singled out by Jafari.
Now, traders should be paying close attention to $2,475 on a weekly basis, as a close below there would cause even more damage to the technical picture, according to Jafari. "Both daily/weekly oscillators are diverging negatively. All of this to say that the balance of signals are looking broadly heavy."
Jafari isn't alone in calling for at least a near-term top in the cryptocurrency. "I think it's in a bubble," tech billionaire Mark Cuban tweeted last Tuesday. "I just don't know when or how much it corrects. When everyone is bragging about how easy they are making $=bubble." Cuban did not say how far he thought bitcoin would fall.
So where will bitcoin go from here? "Wary of a near-term top ahead of 3,134, Jafari concludes. "Consider re-establishing bullish exposure between 2,330 and no lower than 1,915."

Warren Buffett promotes Israeli government bonds www.rt.com

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett will travel to New York this week to help Israel sell government bonds, underwriting agency Israel Bonds said.
Buffett will reportedly meet privately on Thursday with US, Canadian, Mexican, and Brazilian investors who are each interested in buying up to $5 million in bonds. Buffett himself has invested $5 million, according to Israel Bonds.
“The purchase of Israel bonds is a sound investment and a deserved endorsement of a remarkable country,” Buffett said in a statement for the underwriting agency.
Last November, Buffett, the CEO of the US conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, hosted an event in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska that raised $60 million in investments in Israel.
“If you are looking for brains, energy and dynamism in the Middle East, Israel is the only place you need to go,” the billionaire said at the time.
In 2013, Buffett made Israeli firm Iscar his first foreign acquisition, buying the remaining 20 percent of the metalworking company for $2.05 billion, after buying 80 percent in 2006 for $4 billion.
Many investors stay away from Israel, which has fallen 23 spots in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index in the last six years, to 52nd out of 190 countries.
The country is regarded as a tough place to do business. Israel demands permits from fire officials and a number of ministries, and each of those bodies makes its own demands.
The Doing Business Index says it is easier to register property in 125 countries than in Israel, and there are 95 states with better tax environments.

Further mineralisation at Bayan Khundii www.asiaminer.com

Erdene Resource Development Corp’s ongoing drill program has expanded mineralisation at the Bayan Khundii Gold Project in southwest Mongolia. Assay results have confirmed the discovery of a new zone under cover north of the Midfield Zone.
 
One hole 60 metres north of Midfield returned 108 metres @ 2.8 g/t gold, including 20 metres @ 7.2 g/t. It was one of four previously drilled step-out holes where visible gold was observed.
 
Another hole 50 metres north of Midfield and 40 metres to the southeast of the above hole returned 55 metres @ 2.9 g/t, including 25 metres @ 5.3 g/t. No visible gold was observed in drill core at this hole.
 
These two holes support the extension of the high-grade corridor that runs north-northeast from Gold Hill through Striker and now beyond Midfield, and trending towards the Northeast Zone.
 
Results are pending for two step-out holes 130 metres north and 200 metres north of Midfield with visible gold observed in drill core of both.
 
Drilling in the Northeast Zone, 500 metres northeast of Midfield, returned 14 metres @ 0.75 g/t from surface, including 2 metres @ 4.4 g/t, and 21 metres @ 0.65 g/t from 65 metres.
 
Another step-out hole, the last of the four holes where visible gold was observed and located 90 metres east of Striker Zone, returned 10 metres @ 12.8 g/t. The hole, which was targeting a potential eastern extension of the Striker Zone under younger cover, has opened up a large untested area east of Striker for additional exploration. Additional drilling is planned in this area before the end of June.
 
Drilling has extended the Striker Zone down-dip to the southwest with one hole returned 20 metres from 90 metres @ 2.6 g/t.
 
The initial Q2-Q3 exploration program at Bayan Khundii, which commenced in mid-April, will include a projected 20,000 metres of diamond drilling, designed to expand areas of gold mineralisation surrounding the Gold Hill, Striker and Midfield zones, and to identify new zones elsewhere within the larger 2km by 1.8km project area.
 
Once complete, any new or expanded zones will receive more detailed drilling to increase confidence in advance of an eventual resource estimate. One drill rig is continuing with the exploration program while the second is dedicated to the closer-spaced resource delineation program.
 
Erdene expects to receive further assay results throughout the September quarter.

World coal production falls off a cliff www.mining.com

Despite entreaties by the U.S. President, coal production is declining worldwide, putting the new Administration on the opposite side of a trend.
Trump last week was touting the opening of a new mine in Pennsylvania as having benefitted from his government's coal deregulation measures, even though the mine had actually planned to restart a year ago, prior to Trump being elected.
Now a new report from BP Plc, which reviews global energy trends every year, says that in 2016, U.S. demand for coal plummeted 33.4 million tons of oil equivalent to 358.4 million – a level not seen since the 1970s. China, the world's largest energy consumer, burned the least coal in six years. Consumption of coal fell in every continent except Africa.
The upside of the reduced coal production has been lower carbon emissions, which have not grown for three consecutive years, stated Spencer Dale, BP's chief economist, at a media briefing in London today quoted by Bloomberg. The reasons for the decline in coal use are well known: more plentiful, cheaper natural gas, countries switching more to renewable energies, whose costs are dropping, and social pressure to cut coal in favour of cleaner, lower-carbon fuels.
While coal bulls were elated for awhile earlier this year – when the price of coking coal reached heights not seen since 2011 due to cyclones in Australia and subsequent flooding in Queensland – the price of the steelmaking ingredient fell to an eight-month low yesterday as supplies return to normal levels.
Yet the world's declining hunger for coal has clearly not been a factor in a recent bidding war between major coal players over coal mines in Australia.
Chinese-owned Yancoal (ASX:YAL) signalled Tuesday it may be willing to raise its offer and so outbid Glencore after striking an agreement with Mitsubishi to buy its 32.4% stake in Rio Tinto’s (ASX, LON:RIO) coal assets in Australia's Hunter Valley.
The tag-along deal with Mitsubishi came almost three days after miner and commodities trader Glencore (LON:GLEN) said it had reached an agreement with the Japanese firm to buy the same interests in the same coal mines. However, Yancoal's offer, at $940 million, was slightly higher.
