Oyu Tolgoi suspends concentrate shipments due to border crossing matters www.mongolia.gogo.mn
Turquoise Hill Resources announced effective December 1, 2016 Oyu Tolgoi has suspended concentrate shipments to the Chinese border following a new requirement at the Chinese-Mongolian border to utilize one joint coal and concentrate crossing route. The new requirement has led to safety and security concerns as well as unreasonably long waiting times to cross the border.
Oyu Tolgoi is seeking to clarify the requirements with the relevant authorities in Mongolia and China.
On 22 November, the authorities in charge of Gants Mod crossing in Inner Mongolia, China have imposed new fees on commodity shipments between the two countries..
Under the newly-imposed fees, a transit fee of 10 yuan ($1.45) will be charged on vehicles each time they pass through the border, and an additional charge of 8 yuan per tonne will be imposed on any goods that they are delivering.
For precious metals and copper concentrate worth more than 10,000 yuan per tonne, exporters will be charged 0.2 percent of the total value of the cargo, the notice said, adding that the new charges would come into effect on 1 December. Although this is only one border crossing, as it is a major crossing these fees could cost the coal industry up to as much as 12.2 million USD [per annum].
At present, it is not clear the potential duration of the shipment suspension. The Company will update the market in due course as material information is ascertained.
