South Gobi Coal Project Secured under MOU by Newera
Project Highlights: ? The Ulaan Tolgoi project is located in the South Gobi province of Mongolia – 84km south of the giant Tavan Tolgoi coking/thermal coal project. ? The Ulaan Tolgoi Licence is a large licence covering 43,830 hectares in area. ? The Ulaan Tolgoi licence is considered prospective for coal in concealed extensions of the late Permian coalbearing Tavan Tolgoi Group rocks of the South Gobi Basin. ? Visible in satellite imagery, striking east to west through the south of the licence is the Sonduult thrust fault. The Sonduult thrust fault is postulated to be a potential extension of the Nariin Sukhait thrust fault. ? Minor coal outcrops along the Nariin Sukhait Thrust Fault to the west of Ulaan Tolgoi led to the discovery of the large MAK and Ovoot Tolgoi coking/thermal coal deposits as well as the Soumber, Biluut, and Guilford Coal’s South Gobi deposits. ? In terms of coal, the South Gobi province of Mongolia has recently become known as the epi-centre of recent exploration and mining developments particularly for coking coal and high energy thermal coal within southern Mongolia. ? Advanced plans exist for the expansion of the Mongolian rail network to connect Tavan Tolgoi to the Chinese rail network. The new rail line will greatly assist the economics of any new coal discovery within Ulaan Tolgoi.
