The document summarizes plans for the Mandakh Nuur Coal Project in Mongolia. It describes exploration work that has identified a potential 100 million ton coal resource near the Chinese border. Plans are outlined to develop an open cut coal mine, build infrastructure like roads and a border crossing, and export coal starting in 2012. The project aims to exploit a strategic location near key Chinese steel markets to access a huge demand for its high quality coking coal.

“IKH GOBI ENERGY” LLC
Mandakh nuur project was
granted the license for
exploration area in accordance
with decision # 264,of the
Head of the Geology, Mining
and Cadastre Department. The
company has conducted
geology exploration activities
since September 2011.
4. The project is located 580 km from Ulaanbaatar, 117 km from Dorno-
gobi province’s Mandakh soum, 210 km from the Dorno-gobi
province’s Sainshand city and 165km to Khangi - Mandal border port.

According to the result from initial drilling holes and a geophysical survey,
the deposit is believed to have potential reserve for 100 million tons. The
project license area covers 10,767 hectares which is four times larger than
Ukhaa Khudag coal field of Mongolia Mining Corporation (0975.HK).
“Mandakh Nuur”deposit is located 165km from Mongolia-China border port,
which is 250km from Baogang Group, the largest steel producer in Inner
Mongolia, China, and possessing relatively good advantages to access into
Hebei province, largely concentrated area of steel mills.
As the largest steel producing nation in the world, China requires a
significant amount of coking coal for its steel industry. The GDP growth
2011 of Inner Mongolia, the main market for Mongolia’s coal, was 15%
which is 5.8% higher than China national economic growth average in 2011.
The quality of coal is in-line with world-class hard coking coal brands, and is
highly marketable in China. Initial test results indicate that the quality of
Mandakh Nuur coal is higher than MMC’s and other deposits in South Gobi.
