Peace Corps volunteers are back in Mongolia www.mn.usembassy.gov

After a more than two-year absence due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, 27 Peace Corps trainees arrived in Mongolia on October 18, 2022. They will complete 14 weeks of pre-service training (PST) before being sworn in as Peace Corps Volunteers. During PST, trainees will participate in an intensive program focused on the development of a variety of language, technical, and cross cultural competencies necessary for successful Peace Corps service. Upon their successful completion of PST, these trainees will become English Education and Community Development Volunteers.
Peace Corps Volunteers are an important way the United States and Mongolia continue to build strong people-to-people ties. Since 1991, over 1,500 Peace Corps Mongolia Volunteers have served in education, environmental, health, agriculture, community enterprise development, and youth development sectors. In support of Mongolia’s strong partnership with Peace Corps, Volunteers will collaborate with secondary schools, universities, colleges, vocational schools, and a host of organizations and stakeholders while working and living in their communities of service.

Maneuvering station to be built within natural gas pipeline project www.montsame.mn

Within the framework of the construction project on the natural gas pipeline connecting Russia and China through the territory of Mongolia, basic procedural adjustments to energy will be made in Mongolia.
Furthermore, it was planned to build a large power gas station capable of releasing reserved power in a short time and maneuvering. The state-owned ‘Erdenes Mongol’ LLC reports that the new station will optimize the structure of energy sources, decrease the imported energy, and open the possibility of making the use of natural gas regular in Mongolia. It is expected that the implementation of this project will create 13,000 jobs and increase the budget revenue and will create resources to finance medium and long-term development programs.
The natural gas pipeline with a length of 962 km will pass through 6 aimags and 23 soums of Mongolia, connecting Russia and China. The company is estimating to build natural gas pipeline at a depth of 1.5-1.8 meters underground, and it will need five compressor stations built along the route. B.Tsevegjav, the head of the Integrated Management Strategy Department of ‘Erdenes Mongol” LLC says that the project’s total investment is estimated at USD 8 billion.
‘Erdenes Mongol’ LLC has detailed the natural gas pipeline route in cooperation with a limited-purpose company.

IMF: Mongolia facing refinancing risks www.news.mn

The IMF predicted growth for Asia and the Pacific at 4 percent this year and 4.3 percent in 2023, with both below the 5.5 percent average over the last two decades.
Still, they are higher than the fund’s forecasts for Europe and the U.S. The IMF is expecting growth of 3.1 percent in 2022 and 0.5 percent in 2023 for the euro area; and 1.6 percent growth this year and 1 percent next year for the U.S.
“High debt economies such as Maldives, Laos and Papua New Guinea, and those facing refinancing risks, like Mongolia, are also facing challenges as the tide changes,” the IMF said. Mongolia wants to issue a bond to manage forthcoming foreign debts. There are three bonds issued by Mongolian Government and Development bank of Mongolia matures between May and December 2023.
As for China, it would likely see a recovery this year and might post a 3.2% growth in 2022 before accelerating to 4.4% in 2023 — assuming its Covid-zero policies are loosened gradually, the IMF said.

Mongolian Mining Corporation makes a tidy sum after selling stocks www.news.mn

Despite the fact that Mongolian Mining Corporation stock rose 10 percent last week, insiders who sold USD 791 thousand worth of stock in the previous 12 months are likely to be better off. Selling at an average price of USD 3.96, which is higher than the current price, may have been the best move for these insiders because their investment would have been worth less now than when they sold.
Insiders own 7.0 percent of Mongolian Mining shares, worth about HKD 151 million. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it’s enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.

An average person to spend 8-9 hours to see the Chinggis Khaan Museum www.news.mn

Most people want to enjoy a museum, not conquer it. Yet the average visitor spends 15 to 30 seconds in front of a work of art. Therefore, an average person will spend 8-9 hours to see every corner of the Chinggis Khaan Museum, which recently opened in Mongolian capital city of Ulaanbaatar.
Director of the Chinggis Khaan Museum, S.Chuluun, the museum has a total of 100423 exhibits; 93 percent of them are original.
The museum opened to public on 13 October. The museum was free for children aged 0-16, elders and people with disabilities for three days. Now, the museum entrance fee costs for MNT 30,000 for adults and foreigners.
The museum was built on the site of the current natural history museum, located in the heart of Ulaanbaatar just to the north-west of the State Palace. The nine-story modern museum with 15 exhibition halls covers an area of 20,500 square meters.
The Chinggis Khaan Museum became one of the biggest museum in Asia that showcasing nomads history.
After uniting the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian plateau, Chinggis Khaan conquered huge chunks of central Asia and China. His descendants expanded the Mongol Empire even further, advancing to such far-off places as Poland, Vietnam, Syria and Korea. At their peak, the Mongols controlled between 11 and 12 million contiguous square miles, an area about the size of Africa.

President U.Khurelsukh works at national factories www.montsame.mn

The President of Mongolia, U.Khurelsukh, worked at the factories in the food industry within the framework of the ‘Food Supply and Security’ national movement.
‘Tsaluut Impex’ LLC meat-processing factory can sort and process 1,250 head of livestock per day. It can deep-freeze 60 tons of meat daily and has a warehouse to store 500 tons. The products are sold in well-known chain stores and supplied to mining and other enterprises. The factory exports to Iran and Central Asian countries and is planning to export to China in the future.
Most of the meat on the market is hand-produced which lowers the hygiene and quality requirements. Therefore, the leaders of ‘Tsaluut Impex’ LLC consider supporting industrial preparation for the meat process. For example, they offered the option of supplying meat to government organizations, schools, and kindergartens from meat processing factories. They also stressed the need to provide financial support to the factories.
About 270 meat processing factories and workshops are registered nationwide.
3.4 percent of all meat prepared in 2021 was processed by domestic factories.
‘MCS Coca Cola’ LLC manufactures and markets 150 types of beverages, water, juice, and tea, of 21 brands and provides jobs for 950 people. Within the framework of the ‘Sugar Reduction Program’, the company has been working to reduce 1-2 types of flavors every year starting from 2018.
The company has put an industrial wastewater recycling facility and smokeless stoves that work by gas into operation in the past.
Executive director L.Myagmarjav introduced the company’s goal of recycling all plastic bottles of drinks sold by 2030 to realize the “World without Plastic Waste” program.
Due to transportation, border, and customs issues, difficulties arise in enforcing the clause of the Food Law, which states that “2/3 of the shelf life of imported food must be valid”. Therefore, it is necessary to consider amending this law to distinguish imported raw materials for food from finished products.
The President, U.Khurelsukh, said that he believes in national industries and wealth creators to significantly contribute to meeting domestic needs with 19 types of products in the next five years and then achieve the goal of becoming an exporting country. In this regard, he noted that the government is improving the legal environment, providing long-term, low-interest loans, and supporting them with tax policies

TMK gets to work on third gas well at Mongolian project www.marketindex.com.au

TMK Energy (ASX:TMK) has today commenced drilling the third of four planned wells onsite its Mongolian acreage at the company’s flagship CSG project.
Earlier this month, the company reported a 91m thick coal body at Snow Leopard-2. Initial test results indicate high methane contents (the key constituent of natural gas) and the easy flow of gas through rock.
Snow-Leopard 3 is targeting the same coal bodies.
Management notes results from SL-3 upon completion will be compared with SL-1 and SL-2 to further delineate the resource and log the gas characteristics encountered at Gurvantes XXXV.
Millidarcy metre values for the coal bodies intersected in SL-2, a measure of how easily gas can flow through rock, reflected a desirable coal deposit allowing the free flow of gas molecules underground.
Those results suggest the stimulation and extraction of gas is likely to present a commercially feasible prospect for the company's CSG production.
Talon to earn 33% interest
Talon continues to earn a 33% working interest in the project and assisted in the provision of US$1.5m to execute the four well program.
The partnership intends to establish a pilot plant on-site at which time Talon Energy will assist in the provision of a further US$3.15m.
TMK is now fast tracking a pilot well proof of concept process with operations expected to commence later in 2022.
