Talon Energy lodges environmental impact assessment for Mongolian CGS project www.ogj.com
Talon Energy Ltd., Perth, has lodged an environmental impact assessment (EIA) study for its proposed Gurvantes XXXV coal seam gas project in the Gobe basin of southern Mongolia with the Mongolian Government.
Talon said that its partner, Mongolian-based Telmen Resources, completed the EIA following a public consultation program in nearby communities conducted during November and December 2021.
Feedback from the process has been positive, the company said.
Talon expects approval for the project from the Mongolian Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism late this month or early February. Once approved, field work, including a multi-well drilling program, will begin in this year’s first quarter.
Talon hopes to provide a gas resource estimate before mid-2022.
The Gurvantes XXXV project covers 8,400 sq km in what the company believes is one of the most prospective coal seam gas basins in the world.
The project is less than 20 km from the Mongolia-China border and about 300 km from an existing gas pipeline network in northern China.
