Mongolia, the holder of one of the world’s largest coal and other mineral resources and located close to major Asian economies, has become an attractive acquisition destination for the global and regional mining groups. Abundant with mineral resources coupled with conducive business environment and proximity to China, South Korea, Japan and India, major consumers of mineral resources, this resource rich country is offering lucrative business opportunities for international industry players.

We believe the Mongolian mining companies will remain one of the most attractive targets for the global and regional mining groups. Proximity to the major coal and other mineral consumers in Asia, including China, South Korea, Japan and India, and strong outlook for coal international prices make Mongolia an ideal place to expand operations by major coal and other mineral players. Therefore, we expect the global and regional major coal players, including energy, steel-making and commodities trading companies, to capitalise on attractive industry opportunities in Mongolia by acquiring both publicly listed and private-held mining companies.
