Mongolia to spend 79.3 mln USD on COVID-19 vaccines: minister www.xinhuanet.com

Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia will spend 226 billion Mongolian Tugriks (about 79.3 million U.S. dollars) to vaccinate its people against COVID-19, the country's Health Ministry said Saturday.
"The Mongolian government has approved a total of 226 billion Mongolian Tugriks for all activities related to COVID-19 vaccination, including the purchase, transportation, storage and inoculation," said Sereejav Enkhbold, the country's health minister.
Mongolia is planning to vaccinate at least 60 percent of its 3.3 million people, or all adults in the country, against the coronavirus within 2021, with 20 percent of them to be vaccinated under COVAX, a global initiative to ensure quick and equal access to vaccines against the virus, according to the minister.
The Asian country is expected to launch a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign early next week.
So far, the country has recorded 2,586 COVID-19 cases, with six deaths.
More than 2,100 of the confirmed cases were locally transmitted, and over 1,700 of them were detected in the country's capital Ulan Bator, home to over half of the country's total population. Enditem

Regulation approved to categorize Mongolia's COVID-19 transmission levels in four colors www.montsame.mn

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. On February 21, Sunday, the cabinet convened for an irregular meeting and approved an interim regulation designed for determining the level of COVID-19 transmission and managing the operations of government organizations, individuals and private legal entities.
The regulation divides COVID-19 transmission in the country into four levels each represented by a color and lays out detailed rules and guidelines for operations and activities to be carried out by government organizations, individuals and private businesses under each level.
1. Green Level – Guidelines for the green level transmission are issued when the country has gone 28 days straight with zero COVID-19 cases. Operations of public and private organizations and individuals are not suspended, only health preventative guidelines and recommendations are in place.
2. Yellow Level – issued when the coronavirus cases registered in the past 14 days are ‘imported’ from abroad and taken under control or the local cases confirmed in the past two weeks are not directly related to each other in terms of their timing and locations. Under the Yellow Level transmission, complete or partial heightened state of readiness is declared and operations of public and private organizations and individuals are restricted to a certain extent.
3. Orange Level – issued when cluster infections are confirmed and local cases recorded in the past 14 days are related to each other in terms of their timing and locations. Under the Orange Level transmission, complete or partial heightened state of readiness is declared and operations of public and private organizations and individuals are restricted to a certain extent depending on the situation.
4. Red Level – issued when large-scale community infections of COVID-19 are recorded, positive coronavirus cases recorded in the past 14 days are found to have been virally transmitted among general population or the cluster source of 25 percent of newly confirmed cases cannot be identified or mortality rate per 10,000 people is higher than 0.1. Under the Red Level transmission, all-out readiness regime is issued in full or partial manners and operations of public and private organizations and individuals are restricted and special measures for lockdown and quarantine are implemented.
With a view to curb and contain the spread of community transmission of COVID-19, Ulaanbaatar city has been under the Red Level-related regime of strict lockdown since February 11. The lockdown is scheduled to be lifted on February 23, Tuesday, and the capital city will move under the Yellow Level of transmission, reports the Cabinet Secretariat.

Altanbulag border port to return to full operations on February 23 www.montsame.mn

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. On February 17, the cabinet held a regular weekly meeting and made a decision to resume full operations of the Altanbulag auto vehicle border crossing checkpoint in Selenge aimag starting February 23.
The border crossing points will open for movement of freight vehicles of all types of goods. Foreign freight drivers will have to drop off their trailers at the clearance and inspection zone for pickup by domestic freight forwarders bound for the final destination.
Because of COVID-19 pandemic, the Altanbulag border checkpoint is currently operating under limited regime, serving for cross-border transportation of medicine, medical supplies and foodstuffs only.
Moreover, Tsagaannuur auto vehicle border crossing point in Bayan-Ulgii aimag and Ereentsav rail border checkpoint in Dornod aimag will open for transportation of livestock fodder beginning from February 23.
Also at the cabinet meeting dated February 17, the amount of fixed payment for the alternative civilian service for 2021 was set at MNT 6 million 350 thousand and 895, the same as of previous year. The amount is calculated on the basis of variable cost for supplies and services for one-year military service.

Mongolia’s Jan coal exports jump 57% on month www.mysteel.net

Mongolia’s coal exports to all destinations in January increased by a significant 57.2% on month or by 3% on year to nearly 2.5 million tonnes, due to the faster pace of coal deliveries across the Mongolia-China border last month, according to the country’s Customs office. About 92.6% of Mongolian coal for export was exported to China in January, Mongolian Customs data showed.
At Ganqimaodu in North China’s Inner Mongolia, an average of 356 trucks laden with Mongolian coal arrived at the checkpoint daily throughout January, surging by 132 trucks/day from last December, according to Mysteel’s survey. The notable recovery of Mongolian coal transportation to China was observed mainly in late January

Rio Tinto willing to negotiate new Mongolia mine agreement -sources www.reuters.com

Feb 18 (Reuters) - Global miner Rio Tinto RIO.AXRIO.L is willing to enter a new agreement with Mongolia to expand its Oyu Tolgoi mine as the government requested, two sources with direct knowledge told Reuters on Thursday, as both parties look to resolve an impasse over the multibillion-dollar project.
Mongolia had sought agreement with Rio to cancel the deal underpinning the mine's underground expansion, saying rising costs and project delays had eroded expected benefits.

Governments from Mongolia to Mali seek to reopen mining deals www.reuters.com

TORONTO/JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Some resource-rich developing countries are seeking to rewrite mining contracts and accelerate dividend payouts, which can take years to materialize under deals that experts said are tilted in companies’ favor.
Any move to renegotiate agreements will trigger pushback by miners wary of threats to their profit margins, experts said, and previous attempts have caused protracted disputes.
Mongolia became the latest country to demand better terms, asking for more tax revenue from Rio Tinto’s Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine while it waits for dividends. In West Africa, Mali has said it would try to reopen mining contracts that leave the state waiting years for dividend payments.
“What we’re asking for today is for African countries to be able to benefit more from their mineral production,” said Abdoulaye Pona, president of Mali’s Chamber of Mines.
The historical power imbalance between mineral-rich but cash-poor countries and multinational mining companies has left a legacy of bad deals that have been overly generous to investors, said Alexandra Readhead, tax and extractives lead at the International Institute for Sustainable Development.
The financial strain governments are under from the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to stricter implementation of existing tax laws and closer scrutiny of deals, Readhead said.
Governments are pushing for speedier payouts as prices for metals from gold to copper scale multiyear highs, signaling what investment bankers said is the start of another commodity supercycle.
Glencore remains at odds with the Democratic Republic of Congo nearly three years after the country signed a new mining code into law, CEO Ivan Glasenberg said on Tuesday. The 2018 code hiked royalties on cobalt, copper and gold.
“We are still in discussions with the government... we have not accepted the change from the old code to the new code,” Glasenberg told investors on a call.
‘NOT LIKELY TO CHANGE’
Mongolia, which owns 34% of the Oyu Tolgoi mine, is unlikely to get dividends until 2051 based on Rio’s latest cost estimate for an underground expansion, a source familiar with negotiations said.
Delays and rising costs have eroded the expected benefits of the project, the state argued.
Rio, whose majority-owned Turquoise Hill Resources owns the rest of the mine, declined to comment.
Some are skeptical Mongolia’s government will win better terms under a new pact, given that previous agreements limit its taxation powers.
“It’s not likely to change to their benefit,” said Vincent Kiezebrink at the Netherlands-based Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations.
In Mali, the transitional government is reviewing mining deals after the auditor general last year identified problems including “non-distribution of dividends” in the contracts.
In September, Barrick Gold unit SOMILO paid its first dividend to Mali, 15 years after production at the Loulo mine started and a year after the auditor general criticised the firm for not paying dividends.
Barrick did not respond to questions. The Loulo mine is part of the Loulo-Gounkoto gold-mining complex, West Africa’s biggest, and Barrick said the project generated $240 million in dividends for 2020.
CEO Mark Bristow has said he does not expect major changes to mining deals in Mali.
Last year Mali’s auditor general demanded Resolute Mining pay dividends to the state, a 20% shareholder in the Syama mine which started producing in late 2008.
Resolute’s Mali subsidiary SOMISY will begin paying dividends to the government once it reaches profitability, the company told Reuters.
While pushing for reforms, countries in need of investment must still tread carefully, Pona at Mali’s Chamber of Mines said.
“You can’t create a (mining) code which will make mining companies avoid your country,” he said.
