"Erdenes Tavantolgoi" JSC's Eight Projects Under Implementation www.montsame.mn

In October 2022, the Government of Mongolia established a special regime at "Erdenes Tavantolgoi" JSC and appointed its authorized representative. Minister of Mongolia, Chief Cabinet Secretary D. Amarbayasgalan has recently worked at the company. In 2022, "Erdenes Tavantolgoi" company earned a total of USD 1.1 billion, and with the appointment of the authorized representative, it has sold 11.5 million tons of coal from January 1 to June 23, 2023, earning USD 1.2 billion in sales income. In other words, due to proper management in half a year "Erdenes Tavantolgoi" JSC has netted more than it did in the entire previous year.
The Government set a goal of increasing the price of coal and concentrating revenue from coal transportation domestically. Chief Cabinet Secretary D. Amarbayasgalan underlined that the commencement of coal trading on the exchange affected the increase of coal price. Specifically, 1.2 million tons of coal were sold for USD 140.92 million in 20 trades, and the income increased by about USD 40.0 million. One ton of hard coking coal is sold at a minimum price of USD 131.6 and a maximum price of USD 182.1. They report that energy and weak coking coals are sold through e-trading without sorting out.
"Erdenes Tavantolgoi" JSC is currently implementing eight projects. D. Amarbayasgalan got acquainted with the progress of Borteeg dry beneficiation, coal beneficiation, coal loading logistics center, Tavantolgoi-Zunbayan railway, Zag water pipeline, and Tavantolgoi power plant projects.
The coal concentrator will be put into operation in 2024, as the construction work is underway according to the schedule. The plant will create an opportunity to earn additional USD 60-80 per ton of coal currently sold. Successful implementation of these projects will increase coal export and income, ensuring the country's economic growth. Therefore, he stated that the Government would support the projects implemented in cooperation with the private sector.

Preparations being made to issue capital city securities www.gogo.mn

The meeting of the council of Governor of the capital city was held on June 15. At the beginning of the meeting, the preparations on the issuing and trading of the capital city securities were introduced.
Clause 13.1 of the revision of the Law on the Legal Status of the Capital City states that "The capital may issue securities under the conditions and procedures specified in the law." According to this, the working group was established last May by the order of the Governor of the Capital City. In accordance with the Law on Debt Management, the working group cooperated with the Ministry of Finance, received views from relevant organizations, and discussed and approved the procedure for issuing, trading and reporting capital city securities at the May 24 meeting of the Government. At present, preparations are being made for the issue to be discussed by the Citizens’ Representative Khural, and the proposal will be submitted to the Ministry of Finance and the conclusion will be drawn up.
The Mayor emphasized that Ulaanbaatar is going to issue securities for the first time and said that it will support the economy of the city and give an opportunity to solve its problems independently. Minutes were taken from the council meeting, and the above issue was submitted to the Citizens’ Representative Khural for discussion.
27 buildings demolished due to non-compliance put into operation
After that, the process of demolishing and building a new public residential building that does not meet the requirements for use, the relevant research and information were presented.
194 buildings were demolished, redeveloped and constructed by the 22 orders of the Governor of the Capital City. Currently, project implementers have been selected for 150 buildings, and between 2015 and 2023, 61 buildings for 1,298 households have been demolished, and 27 service and residential buildings for 3,248 households have been commissioned. This shows that the implementation of demolition and new construction of public housing buildings that do not meet the requirements of use is slow, and further intensification is necessary.
Minutes were taken from the council meeting, including council members’ suggestion and the Mayor gave duties to relevant officials.
Comprehensive planning of the industrial park completed
The feasibility study and partial master plan of the Emeelt Eco-Industrial Park have been developed. In doing so, the comprehensive planning of the industrial park, which will create more than 5,600 new jobs, has been completed.

From Kazakhstan to Mongolia, What a Ride! www.ijf.org

The third and final day in Astana has come to a close and with smooth organisation, a huge and well attended arena, satisfying medals for the home team, entertaining mascots and more, it has been a great event.
The medal table was topped by Italy on day 1 and there they sat with no nation able to catch them on day 2 but without further Italian flags on the podium to extend and secure the lead either. The final block of the third day was a whole different story with a French and a Spanish athlete reaching the -90kg final, meaning, with other medals in the bag from the lighter categories, one of those countries would take the lead. Following a dazzling display from Mosakhlishvili, it was Spain who topped the table.
The two lightweight women’s categories, owned by Scutto and Giuffrida on Friday, indicated an Italian invasion that didn’t quite happen but it still demonstrated the team’s consistency and ability.
Spain continues to impress also, following the unbelievable victory of Garrigos at the World Judo Championships - Doha 2023, with Garcia Torne winning -66kg gold in Astana and his compatriots Martinez Abelenda, Gaitero Martin, Mosakhlishvili and Mendiola Izquieta all taking medals.
Athletes still on the junior circuit, Olympic medallists from more than one Games and coaches working with passion and real expertise have all mixed to produce an excellent judo event. Now the World Judo Tour hitches it’s wagons and rolls on to Mongolia, the country which kicked off the 2024 Olympic qualification period and now signals the start of the final year of points-gathering before we know who will compete in France’s capital next summer.

Korea's special warfare troops join UN peacekeeping exercise in Mongolia www.koreatimes.co.kr

The Korean Army's Special Warfare Command is participating in a multinational U.N. peacekeeping exercise in Mongolia to enhance their combined operational capabilities, the armed service said Monday.
Thirty-five personnel from the command have joined the Khaan Quest exercise that kicked off Monday and continues through July 2. A total of 1,100 personnel from 35 countries, including the United States, India and Qatar, will attend it, the Army said.
Participants are to focus on honing their skills for peacekeeping missions, such as responding to improvised explosive devices, treating casualties and escorting convoys, as well as carrying out operations for humanitarian support.
"Troops plan to strengthen their combined operational capabilities and capabilities to conduct peacekeeping missions while training with multinational forces under scenarios that could occur during overseas peacekeeping operations," the Army said in a press release.
The U.S. and Mongolian militaries launched the combined exercise in 2003. The Korean military first joined it in 2006, when it was expanded into a multinational peacekeeping program.
Since 2019, Korea has sent the Special Warfare Command in odd-numbered years and the Marine Corps in even-numbered years to the exercise. (Yonhap)

World’s No. 2 gold miner is trying to get bigger in copper www.bloomberg.com

For a company with “gold” in its name, Barrick Gold Corp. has become noticeably fixated on copper.
The world’s second-largest bullion producer recently approached First Quantum Minerals Ltd. to discuss a potential takeover, Bloomberg reported last week. And while the move was unsuccessful — Barrick’s informal overtures were rebuffed — its interest in buying a $17 billion copper miner provides the starkest evidence yet of a shifting focus at the company whose origins lie in Nevada’s gold veins.
Mark Bristow, Barrick’s swashbuckling chief executive, has talked for years about his desire to grow in copper. Now, the emphasis may be taking on a greater urgency: Barrick’s gold production has dropped to multi-decade lows, while longstanding industry rival Newmont Corp. recently announced a huge acquisition that will catapult it well out of Barrick’s league in gold.
While gold companies historically prided themselves on being “pure plays” for investors wanting exposure to bullion prices, Barrick sees copper as a strategic commodity underpinned by the demand for electrification. It’s often found alongside gold in orebodies, and can be processed using similar methods.
Copper is critical “if you want to be relevant” in mining, Bristow said on the company’s latest earnings call. “As a gold miner, you’re going to have to grow and include copper in your portfolio.”
Already, the Canadian miner’s biggest investment project is a $7 billion copper-gold project in Pakistan, which Barrick plans to start up in 2028 and could operate for at least four decades. It’s also studying an expansion at its Zambian copper mine, while scouring for new deposits across the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
Bristow isn’t alone in his hunt for copper. Mining executives and analysts have been sounding an alarm over growing shortages starting in the mid-2020s, as demand increases for copper in electric vehicles, wind and solar farms and high-voltage cables. The world’s biggest miners are all looking to grow in copper to take advantage of future price rises, at a time when there are few new projects being planned.
However, Barrick may have one advantage over the competition: Bristow has shown he’s willing to venture to riskier regions where many western miners are wary to invest. A geologist by training, the South African executive cultivated a reputation for building gold mines across the Democractic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast and Mali while at Randgold Resources Ltd., the company he founded.
He brought that same approach to Barrick when the company bought Randgold in a no-premium deal in 2019. The company has revived the Reko Diq project in Pakistan after resolving a years-long dispute with the government over a 2011 decision to deny a license for the mine.
Bristow has also spoken openly about copper exploration in both Zambia and Congo. The company is currently in talks with the Congolese government about potential exploration projects, according to people familiar with the matter.
Bristow hasn’t made any big acquisitions since joining Barrick, though he has certainly tried. The company attempted a hostile, no-premium takeover bid for Newmont in 2019 that ultimately failed. He toyed publicly with the idea of a deal with copper miner Freeport-McMoRan Inc. At the same time, he’s been a vocal critic of getting bigger for the sake of it, maintaining that organic growth — not “stupid M&As” — is the best way to stay competitive in an industry with a litany of ill-timed deals.
Responding to the news of Barrick’s approach to First Quantum, analysts pointed to the difficulty in reconciling Bristow’s discipline in M&A with the likelihood that any deal would require a steep premium, given the industrywide scramble for copper assets. (By comparison, BHP Group Ltd. offered a 49% premium to OZ Minerals Ltd.’s undisturbed share price to seal a A$9.6 billion ($6.6 billion) deal for the Australian copper miner.)
Bristow has stressed that Barrick is still, at its core, a gold company. But the firm’s gold production has fallen to its lowest level since 2000 and its shares are down 5% this year. Newmont’s takeover of Newcrest Mining Ltd. would cement its position as the world’s top gold miner. The only metal output that has increased at Barrick since the Randgold merger is copper.
“It’s as strategic as gold is precious,” Bristow said recently.

Global Times: Xi's footprint in Inner Mongolia highlights China's top-down effort in combating desertification www.finance.yahoo.com

BEIJING, June 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- For mankind to have a better life and enjoy sound development, work must be done in combating desertification. Just like rolling a large rock uphill, endeavor in this regard may fall into relapse if any negligence occurs, said Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, at a symposium on strengthening comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and promoting the construction of key ecological projects in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region on June 6.
The president's inspection tour to Inner Mongolia has again highlighted his long-term focus on desertification. Experts said this top-down effort has made China's achievement unique in the world in tackling this environmental challenge.
From June 5 to 6, accompanied by officials from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xi was on a fact-finding mission at a nature reserve, a modern agricultural demonstration park, a forest farm and a water resources department in Bayannur.
On June 6, Xi presided over a symposium in the city of Bayannur on strengthening the comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and promoting the construction of crucial ecological projects, including the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program (TSFP).
After over 40 years of unremitting efforts, China has made remarkable achievements in preventing and controlling desertification, and realized a historic transformation from "sand forcing humans to retreat" to "trees forcing sand to retreat" in key areas, Xi said during a speech at the symposium.
Economic and social development, as well as the ecological outlook in desertification-threatened areas, have undergone earth-shaking changes, Xi said, adding that the hazards of sandstorms and soil erosion have been effectively curbed.
Sandstorms have hit north China more frequently in the past two years because of abnormal weather conditions and climate change.
Inner Mongolia has been at the frontline of desertification, but President Xi's speech emphasized the effort in curbing desertification, and pointed out the scientific and effective way to achieve the goal, an official who attended the symposium told the Global Times.
He said the next step is to speed up green transition in the region, to implement the TSFP projects, and coordinate the tasks of returning farmland to forest and return some farm and grazing lands to a state of grassland.
Top-down effort
Improving the ecological environment has always been discussed by President Xi. During the two sessions in 2022, Xi told lawmakers from Inner Mongolia that the region should unswervingly prioritize ecological conservation and boost green development.
Xi has conducted multiple field trips to areas severely hit by sand damage, including Ningxia, Gansu, and Hebei.
During a 2019 inspection tour to Babusha Forest Farm in the northwestern province of Gansu, he joined local people plowing the sandy land. Using a trench digger skillfully, Xi plowed a two-meter-long trench in the sandy area with the workers in a few moments.
Babusha Forest Farm, located in Northwest China's Gansu province, had long been plagued by severe sandstorms. After years of sand control, the formerly dry and barren land is now covered by vegetation.
Seeing the enormous transformation in this place, Xi praised the workers as being like a "modern-day Yu Gong" for their persistent efforts in controlling sand and transforming the desert into an oasis. Yu Gong, the protagonist of an ancient folk tale, tried to move mountains blocking the path in front of his home and eventually succeeded.
The desertification area in China has been reduced by more than 4.33 million hectares since 2012. A series of significant projects gradually built a green ecological barrier along the sandstorm line in northern China. In particular, the three primary sandy areas of Maowusu, Hunshandake, and Horqin, and the surrounding areas of the Kubuqi Desert, have been transformed into an oasis, according to documents sent to the Global Times by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration last week.
By 2025, China will have a total of 2 million hectares of land of desertification sealed off for protection, with more than 6 million hectares of sandy land newly treated and 1.3 million hectares of rocky and degraded land harnessed, said the administration.
Talking about China's success in tackling desertification in recent years, Yang Fuqiang, a senior advisor on climate change and energy transition with the Energy Research Institute at Peking University, told the Global Times that "China has made top-down efforts for years to address desertification. The central and local governments march together toward the same goal, with continuous environmental policies."
Such seamless cooperation has led to miraculous achievements, making China's effort in this area unique in the world, said Yang.
Intl cooperation urgently needed
During his inspection tour, Xi also called for efforts to extensively carry out international exchanges and cooperation, fulfill the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, actively participate in global desertification control and environmental governance, place strong emphasis on cooperation with neighboring countries, support desertification control and prevention efforts in countries along the route of the Belt and Road Initiative, lead countries in policy dialogue and information sharing, and jointly respond to sand and dust storm disasters.
The sandstorms in North China this year were partly trigged by sparse rainfall, and sand damage to plant cover in Mongolia, experts explained.
When meeting with President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh of Mongolia in Beijing in November 2022, Xi said that China applauds Mongolia's "Billion Trees" initiative, and is ready to discuss with Mongolia the establishment of a cooperation center to combat desertification.
Last year, China and Mongolia signed bilateral documents jointly addressing climate change, desertification and other areas. China held an online seminar to share with Mongolia its experience in addressing desertification in Kubuqi Desert in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to media reports.
China and Mongolia have always cooperated in managing sand and dust, but China could also aid Mongolia with experience and technology. Every year, funding from Chinese government departments and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification is applied for this, the Global Times learned from the Chinese Academy of Forestry.
Cao Xiaoming, a research fellow at the Institute of Desertification Studies under the Chinese Academy of Forestry, told the Global Times that his team monitored drought conditions in the Mongolian Plateau from 2011 to 2018 with remote-sensing techniques, together with scientists in Mongolia.
They found how climate change and human activities have led to dryer earth and desertification in the region, which covers both Mongolia and China's Inner Mongolia. According to Cao, the research is funded by the Chinese side. The results of the research are shared with Mongolian institutes.
Ma Jun, director of the Beijing-based Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, said the more frequent sandstorms in North China in recent years highlighted the urgency for China and Mongolia as well as other neighboring countries to continue their joint efforts to combat desertification.
A sandstorm is a natural phenomenon that knows no boundaries and can be transmitted via all kinds of routes, said Ma. He said that addressing the problem requires transparent sharing of information and mutual trust, as well as joint efforts from countries in the region.

Mongolia approaches Indian Government seeking to supply coking coal www.news.mn

Mongolia has initiated talks with the Indian Government seeking facilitation in supplying coking coal to domestic steel companies, source in Indian Ministry of Steel said on 13 June. The source said that representatives of Mongolian Government have informed their Indian counterparts that the several coal washeries will operational by 2024 and Mongolian authorities are seeking joint venture partners for these washeries with guaranteed off-take condition.
However, Indian officials pointed out that there are several issues which need to be sorted out before coking coal could be imported from the country. It was noted that it is for Indian steel companies to enter supply contacts directly with Mongolian mining agencies and Indian Government could only act as facilitator and not in position to act as intermediary to any such imports.
At the same time, from consultations with domestic steel companies it has been learned that major challenge for import coking coal was Mongolia being a landlocked country, there would be logistical challenges and costs of transporting such import through Russia and China.
