The Coal Opportunity
Khar Tarvaga Coal
Galshar Coal
Why Mongolia?
Mongolia – the opportunity
3,800kms border with China – the engine room of the
world
Mongolia – the opportunity
Multitude of walk up drill targets i.e. near surface
compared to Australia, and Canada

Mongolia – the opportunity
Has the mineral products China needs; coal, copper and
uranium
Mongolia – the opportunity
Exploration relatively easy and inexpensive compared to
developed countries
Khar Tarvaga: drilling for coal in Winter
Mongolia – the opportunity
China becoming more dependent on foreign coal i.e. imports
of thermal coal this year expected to reach 100mt
Source: Bloomberg, 2010
Mongolia – the challenges
Limited infrastructure i.e. rail, roads, electricity networks
Rail capacity of Trans Mongolian an issue including Russian
ownership
Fuel supply – totally dependent on Russia for diesel, petrol and
avgas
Mongolia – the challenges
Water supply in the bottom half of the country is limited due to low
precipitation
Hence dependence on aquafers for major projects including wash
plants for coal
Mongolian on a steep learning curve to become part of the modern
world
MongoliaMongolia
Land area 1.56m km2 (c.f. Queensland 1.73, W.A.
2.5)
Minerals are the major sector:
• Cu, Au, U, Mo, rare earths & coal
• 10% of GNP of US $1billion
• 56% of industrial production
• 66% of exports
Total coal resources estimated at 150+ billion
tonnes
Favourable legal, investment and fiscal regime
Minerals Law 2006 based on Australian and
Canadian Mining Laws
Elected Parliamentary Democracy
Development PotentialDevelopment Potential
Until Oyu Tolgoi discovered, Mongolia not on the
exploration radar
US$80m spent in 2009 on exploration activities
Mongolia has 2 of the world’s largest mining
projects:
• Oyu Tolgoi 36m tonnes Cu + 45m Oz Au and
• Tavan Tolgoi - 6 billion tonnes of coal
Akin to Peru, Chile opportunity in 1970s and
1980s
Estimated that 60-70% of Mongolia remains
unexplored

AboutAbout XanaduXanadu MinesMines
Operating in Mongolia since 2005
Established a 327mt JORC coal resource at Khar Tarvaga
near the Trans Mongolian railway
About to drill at Galshar coal project to confirm potential
coal resources of up to 200mt
Elgen-Zos gold project in SE Gobi has potential for a low
grade gold system
Projects strategically located to markets of China, Korea,
Japan and Russia
Close to infrastructure including rail, roads and power
Hence focus is China’s energy and metal needs

The coal opportunity
Voracious coal appetite next door
In 2009 China’s coal consumption was 3.3 billion tonnes; estimated to be 4
billion tonnes by 2016
2009 imports of 126mt – 1/5 of 600mt world seaborne coal consumption
China’s coal imports up 226% to 44.4mt in Q1 2010 i.e. annualised 178mt
April 2010 – benchmark thermal coal hit US$108 per tonne suggesting
tightening supplies
Existing China coal resources remotely located i.e. Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia
Deeper and more expensive with increasing environmental and safety standards
New taxes in China (Shanxi) have added RMB20–30/ tonne to coal production
costs
China has less than 45 years of coal supplies based on its current consumption
rates; hence looking to third party supplies

• Mongolia completely dependent on imported
fuel – diesel, petrol, avgas
• Xanadu’s KT coal deposit of 330mt potentially
converts to 480m bbls of liquids (diesel, jet

• Mongolian Government strategy is to become a
supplier of electricity by wire to China
• In lieu of supplying raw coal to burgeoning
China market
• Major financiers/ developers in discussions with
the Government to develop these options
• A value adding proposition for Mongolia

Galshar Coal Project
100% ownership of 230mt Galshar thermal coal resource in SE
Gobi
Located 200kms from China border / 65kms from railway
One main thick coal seam and several thinner seams with average
thickness of 21m
Coal quality in excess of 6,000kcal/kg
Potential for large scale open pit operation with low stripping ratio
Resource open to north, east and potentially south
Power and unpaved road infrastructure in place

Galshar Geology
Galshar Coal deposit located within Eastern Mongolia Choyr-Nyalga coal basin
Hosted within a sequence of lower Khashaat Khudag Cretaceous fine, grained sediments
Three distinct coal zones at Galshar:
Anticline – thick coal sequence east/west trending. Well defined (50-200m spaced
drilling). Strike length 1.4kms with an average 21m thickness and max 46.6m. Open to the
east.
Northern Limb – 3.4km coal sequence. Extends north of the Anticline zone. Deposit
remains open to northeast. Less defined (1km spaced drilling).
Southern Limb zone – 1.8kms thin shallow coal seam. Extends south of the Anticline
zone. Remains open.

SummarySummary
Mongolia a frontier opportunity for energy and minerals
Xanadu has early mover advantage
Focused on energy related minerals i.e. coal to China
Exposure to copper and gold in SE Gobi
A JORC compliant energy coal resource of 327mt at KT
Acquired coal resource at Galshar of 200mt (June 2010)
Close to main rail corridor and end user markets
World’s largest new copper project being developed at Oyu Tolgoi
Independent democratically elected government, run by well
educated and highly intelligent people
Xanadu committed to an equitable sharing of benefits with
Mongolians as part of its licence to operate
“The China moment
has arrived
particularly for coal”

Mongolia The Opportunity The Challenges Mongolia and its Potential About Xanadu The Coal Opportunity Khar Tarvaga Coal Galshar Coal Why Mongolia?
  • 3. Mongolia – the opportunity 3,800kms border with China – the engine room of the world Mongolia – the opportunity Multitude of walk up drill targets i.e. near surface compared to Australia, and Canada HutagHutag South (South (XanaduXanadu 100%)100%)
  • 4. 7 Mongolia – the opportunity Has the mineral products China needs; coal, copper and uranium Mongolia – the opportunity Exploration relatively easy and inexpensive compared to developed countries Khar Tarvaga: drilling for coal in Winter
  • 5. Mongolia – the opportunity China becoming more dependent on foreign coal i.e. imports of thermal coal this year expected to reach 100mt Source: Bloomberg, 2010 Mongolia – the challenges Limited infrastructure i.e. rail, roads, electricity networks Rail capacity of Trans Mongolian an issue including Russian ownership Fuel supply – totally dependent on Russia for diesel, petrol and avgas
  • 6. Mongolia – the challenges Water supply in the bottom half of the country is limited due to low precipitation Hence dependence on aquafers for major projects including wash plants for coal Mongolian on a steep learning curve to become part of the modern world MongoliaMongolia Land area 1.56m km2 (c.f. Queensland 1.73, W.A. 2.5) Minerals are the major sector: • Cu, Au, U, Mo, rare earths & coal • 10% of GNP of US $1billion • 56% of industrial production • 66% of exports Total coal resources estimated at 150+ billion tonnes Favourable legal, investment and fiscal regime Minerals Law 2006 based on Australian and Canadian Mining Laws Elected Parliamentary Democracy
  • 7. Development PotentialDevelopment Potential Until Oyu Tolgoi discovered, Mongolia not on the exploration radar US$80m spent in 2009 on exploration activities Mongolia has 2 of the world’s largest mining projects: • Oyu Tolgoi 36m tonnes Cu + 45m Oz Au and • Tavan Tolgoi - 6 billion tonnes of coal Akin to Peru, Chile opportunity in 1970s and 1980s Estimated that 60-70% of Mongolia remains unexplored ““OyuOyu TolgoiTolgoi remains RIOremains RIO TINTOTINTO’’ss favouritefavourite projectproject”” CEO, Tom AlbaneseCEO, Tom Albanese AboutAbout XanaduXanadu MinesMines Operating in Mongolia since 2005 Established a 327mt JORC coal resource at Khar Tarvaga near the Trans Mongolian railway About to drill at Galshar coal project to confirm potential coal resources of up to 200mt Elgen-Zos gold project in SE Gobi has potential for a low grade gold system Projects strategically located to markets of China, Korea, Japan and Russia Close to infrastructure including rail, roads and power Hence focus is China’s energy and metal needs

  • 9. Voracious coal appetite next door In 2009 China’s coal consumption was 3.3 billion tonnes; estimated to be 4 billion tonnes by 2016 2009 imports of 126mt – 1/5 of 600mt world seaborne coal consumption China’s coal imports up 226% to 44.4mt in Q1 2010 i.e. annualised 178mt April 2010 – benchmark thermal coal hit US$108 per tonne suggesting tightening supplies Existing China coal resources remotely located i.e. Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia Deeper and more expensive with increasing environmental and safety standards New taxes in China (Shanxi) have added RMB20–30/ tonne to coal production costs China has less than 45 years of coal supplies based on its current consumption rates; hence looking to third party supplies China’s coal resources Energy Reserves to Consumption RatioEnergy Reserves to Consumption Ratio
