Legal Disclaimer -- Continued
There are special considerations associated with international investing, including the risk of currency fluctuations and
political and economic events. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risk and volatility than investing in
more developed countries. Due to their narrow focus, sector-based investments typically exhibit greater volatility.
Investors should be aware that hedge funds often engage in leverage, short-selling, arbitrage, hedging, derivatives, and
other speculative investment practices that may increase investment loss. Hedge funds can be highly illiquid, are not
required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, and often charge high fees that can erode
performance. Additionally, they may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing tax information. While
hedge funds may appear similar to mutual funds, they are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory requirements
as mutual funds.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Firebird – Pioneering investor in Mongolia
• Firebird first started accumulating shares on the Mongolian Stock Exchange
(“MSE”) in 2006
• Firebird used the 2008 global financial crisis and 2009 – 2010 Mongolian
banking crisis as a means of consolidating its ownership positions
• Awarded “Top Investor in Mongolia’s Capital Markets” in 2011 by joint
committee of the Mongolian Stock Exchange (“MSE”) and Financial
Regulatory Commission (“FRC”)
• Gained control of and led restructuring of Sharyn Gol JSC, one of the
largest thermal producers in Mongolia
• Firebird was fortunate to invest in Mongolia before its fundamental merits as
a frontier market were broadly understood
Essence of Firebird’s Approach
• Accumulate largest possible position in all stocks while market is quiescent
or distressed
• Identify undervalued or underperforming companies with strategically
important assets
• When necessary, exert influence through voting of shares
• Seek to champion corporate governance and transparency
• Provide bridge capital for restructuring initiatives
• Assist companies in attracting equity and debt capital from international
investors
• Generate highest possible returns through long-term, sustainable increases
in equity valuations
7
The Mongolian Stock Market Epochs
• 2006 – 2008: “Dead Zone”
– No liquidity
– Limited transparency
– Inadequately capitalized market participants
– We took the view in that Mongolia’s great “Mineral Rush” was imminent – the
catalyst for igniting interest in the market
• 2009 – 2010: “Consolidation”
– Ivanhoe reaches deal with government – dawn of the “Mineral Rush”
– Government advances capital market-friendly policies
– Sharyn Gol JSC (“SHG”) and certain other companies launch visible corporate
governance initiatives – building investor confidence
• 2011 – ?: “Mother of All Bull Markets”
– Exploding international and domestic interest in the MSE
– LSE management contract

The Corporate Governance Cycle
“Bad Corporate
Governance”
“Good Corporate
Governance”
Rising

Prices
Falling
Share
Prices
Investor complacency, greed Management hubris
Investor disdain, apathy Management self-dealing, negligence
Corporate Governance Cycle – Amplification of
Underlying Economic and Market Cycle
• Firebird is a proponent of focusing on corporate governance, even in early stage
frontier markets
• Propagating corporate governance culture may increase investor confidence and lead
to a permanent rerating of equity valuations
• The leaders in corporate governance and transparency will be the first to launch
GDRs and dual listings
• LSE leadership will accelerate the improving corporate governance cycle
• Rising confidence levels will enable early investors to monetize investments during a
prolonged period of liquidity expansion
10
Mongolia’s New Capital Market
• World’s fastest growing economy
• Strong political support for capital markets
• Exploding media coverage
• Entrance of new funded foreign market participants
• Rising influence of well funded Mongolian business groups
• LSE providing needed leadership, technology, and marketing to the MSE
• Supportive and proactive government policies
• New flotations will help to absorb liquidity and prevent the formation of
unsustainable “bubbles”
11

MSE Top 20 Index – Third Wave Imminent?
12
Market Characteristics Inconsistent with Topping Process –
Despite New Abundance of Global Media Coverage
• Poor relative liquidity
• Archaic settlement procedures
• Limited sell side research
• Foreign investors focused on internationally listed Mongolian proxies
• Market caps of many listed stocks near zero
• Evidence of improving profitability
• Rising dividends
• Declining interest rates
• Lack of deep foreign and domestic investor participation

• Political “noise”
• Inertia

“A great wall of domestic liquidity will
support the local stock market, creating a
new bull market which will last for decades.
The local stock market currently has
depressed valuation and almost zero
liquidity… The Ivanhoe deal marks the
beginning of the Mongolian mining boom
and I think the most leveraged long-term
way to play this mining boom is through the
local stock market.”
- James Passin, The Energy Report,
November 2009

Being the First Institutional Investor in Mongolia

The Presentation is for informational purposes only, and is intended only for those recipients to whom it is delivered by FG2. By accepting this Presentation, the recipient agrees that it will not, and it will cause its directors, partners, officers, employees and representatives to not, divulge any such information to any other party. Nothing herein should be considered a recommendation by FG2 of any security, assets or investment.

FG2 does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained herein. This Presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, investment product, or investment advisory services described herein. Any offering will be made only by means of a private placement memorandum or other appropriate materials (the “Offering Documents”) that will contain detailed information about any investment to be offered. The terms of any investment described herein are subject to change. Any Fund and any interests therein have not been and will not be registered, guaranteed, approved or disapproved under or by the securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction nor by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other government agency or authority. Certain statements and information in this Presentation constitute “forward-looking statements” and forward- looking information that is not purely historical in nature. Such information may include, among other things, projections, forecasts or estimates of cash flows, yields or returns, scenario analyses and proposed or expected portfolio composition. When used in this Presentation, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

  • 3. Legal Disclaimer -- Continued There are special considerations associated with international investing, including the risk of currency fluctuations and political and economic events. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risk and volatility than investing in more developed countries. Due to their narrow focus, sector-based investments typically exhibit greater volatility. Investors should be aware that hedge funds often engage in leverage, short-selling, arbitrage, hedging, derivatives, and other speculative investment practices that may increase investment loss. Hedge funds can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, and often charge high fees that can erode performance. Additionally, they may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing tax information. While hedge funds may appear similar to mutual funds, they are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 3
  • 4. Legal Disclaimer -- Continued No warranties As FG2 Advisors, LLC (“Firebird”), nor any entity affiliated with Firebird, is NOT an investment fund for the purposes of the Securities Markets Law of Mongolia and it makes no representations or warranties in relation to this presentation or the information and materials provided on this presentation. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing paragraph, Firebird does not warrant that the information on this presentation is complete, true, accurate or non-misleading. Nothing on this presentation constitutes, or is meant to constitute, advice of any kind. If you require advice in relation to any legal or financial matter you should consult an appropriate professional.

  • 5. Mongolian Stock Exchange (“MSE”) 5 MSE Top 20 Index World’s Best Performing Stock Market 2010 - 2011 MSE Trading Floor Limited Liquidity and Price Action 2005 - 2009
  • 6. 6 Firebird – Pioneering investor in Mongolia • Firebird first started accumulating shares on the Mongolian Stock Exchange (“MSE”) in 2006 • Firebird used the 2008 global financial crisis and 2009 – 2010 Mongolian banking crisis as a means of consolidating its ownership positions • Awarded “Top Investor in Mongolia’s Capital Markets” in 2011 by joint committee of the Mongolian Stock Exchange (“MSE”) and Financial Regulatory Commission (“FRC”) • Gained control of and led restructuring of Sharyn Gol JSC, one of the largest thermal producers in Mongolia • Firebird was fortunate to invest in Mongolia before its fundamental merits as a frontier market were broadly understood
  • 7. Essence of Firebird’s Approach • Accumulate largest possible position in all stocks while market is quiescent or distressed • Identify undervalued or underperforming companies with strategically important assets • When necessary, exert influence through voting of shares • Seek to champion corporate governance and transparency • Provide bridge capital for restructuring initiatives • Assist companies in attracting equity and debt capital from international investors • Generate highest possible returns through long-term, sustainable increases in equity valuations 7
  • 8. The Mongolian Stock Market Epochs • 2006 – 2008: “Dead Zone” – No liquidity – Limited transparency – Inadequately capitalized market participants – We took the view in that Mongolia’s great “Mineral Rush” was imminent – the catalyst for igniting interest in the market • 2009 – 2010: “Consolidation” – Ivanhoe reaches deal with government – dawn of the “Mineral Rush” – Government advances capital market-friendly policies – Sharyn Gol JSC (“SHG”) and certain other companies launch visible corporate governance initiatives – building investor confidence • 2011 – ?: “Mother of All Bull Markets” – Exploding international and domestic interest in the MSE – LSE management contract 8
  • 9. 9 The Corporate Governance Cycle “Bad Corporate Governance” “Good Corporate Governance” Rising Share Prices Falling Share Prices Investor complacency, greed Management hubris Investor disdain, apathy Management self-dealing, negligence
  • 10. Corporate Governance Cycle – Amplification of Underlying Economic and Market Cycle • Firebird is a proponent of focusing on corporate governance, even in early stage frontier markets • Propagating corporate governance culture may increase investor confidence and lead to a permanent rerating of equity valuations • The leaders in corporate governance and transparency will be the first to launch GDRs and dual listings • LSE leadership will accelerate the improving corporate governance cycle • Rising confidence levels will enable early investors to monetize investments during a prolonged period of liquidity expansion 10
  • 11. Mongolia’s New Capital Market • World’s fastest growing economy • Strong political support for capital markets • Exploding media coverage • Entrance of new funded foreign market participants • Rising influence of well funded Mongolian business groups • LSE providing needed leadership, technology, and marketing to the MSE • Supportive and proactive government policies • New flotations will help to absorb liquidity and prevent the formation of unsustainable “bubbles” 11 11
  • 12. MSE Top 20 Index – Third Wave Imminent? 12
  • 13. Market Characteristics Inconsistent with Topping Process – Despite New Abundance of Global Media Coverage • Poor relative liquidity • Archaic settlement procedures • Limited sell side research • Foreign investors focused on internationally listed Mongolian proxies • Market caps of many listed stocks near zero • Evidence of improving profitability • Rising dividends • Declining interest rates • Lack of deep foreign and domestic investor participation 13
  • 14. The “Mother of All Bull Markets”? 14 Rising Asset Prices New Foreign Funds New Access Products Mongolian Business Groups Mongolian Retail Investors Growing Media Coverage Growing Tugrik Demand Declining Rates Surging Tax Revenue Loose Fiscal Conditions Investor-Friendly Government Policies Enhanced MSE Architecture Momentum BUYING PRESSURE LIQUIDITY EXPANSION Falling Cost of Capital Rising Corporate Profitability
  • 15. Key Visible Risks to Mongolian Story • Global macro shock • Flood of foreign capital – potential for high profile business disputes • Political “noise” • Inertia 15
  • 16. 16 “A great wall of domestic liquidity will support the local stock market, creating a new bull market which will last for decades. The local stock market currently has depressed valuation and almost zero liquidity… The Ivanhoe deal marks the beginning of the Mongolian mining boom and I think the most leveraged long-term way to play this mining boom is through the local stock market.” - James Passin, The Energy Report, November 2009
