SRK Opens Mongolia Office
December 9 (SRK) SRK Consulting expects staff numbers in its new office in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to increase significantly next year as exploration and development activity in the country's nascent mining sector accelerates.
Having built a successful presence in China, and serviced the Mongolia market from that base, SRK is now on a recruitment drive to expand its Ulaanbaatar team. The company will look to recruit local geologists, mining engineers and interpreters. The new office will be officially opened in December.
SRK currently has active exploration management projects in Mongolia; and as well as being a logistics centre for existing projects, the Ulaanbaatar office will provide exploration QA/QC services and translation services.
According to SRK China managing director Yonglian Sun, Mongolia is "the next frontier" for mining development. The country's rich mineral deposits are being recognized and it has the potential to become one of world's biggest copper, coal and gold producers.
"SRK has been active in Mongolia since 2002 when it commenced work on the Ivanhoe mine," Sun said. "At the moment, SRK is running three QA/QC exploration management projects in Mongolia. In addition, SRK has been regularly working in Mongolia on geology review, mine design as well as full due diligence studies for acquisition, merger and listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
…
The Ulaanbaatar office manager is Ms Erdene-Otgon (Oogii) Dalai. Oogii has an MBA from the Maastricht School of Management in the Netherlands and a Bachelor's Degree from the Mongolian State University. She is multilingual, speaking Mongolian, Russian, English and Chinese. Oogii has strong industry contacts within the local government and will be able to assist in facilitating the execution of projects in Mongolia.
Why Mongolia and Sri Lanka are top of the stock markets
One exchange is the world's smallest, the other is in a country recovering from war, but they're both thriving
December 28 (The Independent) If you had invested in a tracker fund at the start of the year, which of the world's stock markets would have done the most for your pound? China, or somewhere nearby? How about one of the resource-rich economies of Latin America, growing fat on the commodities boom? The answer is none of the above (and you would have lost money in China, where the rather overheated stock market went into a sharp reverse). No, the winner of this year's stock-market crown is the Mongolian Stock Exchange in Ulan Bator, although resources are largely the reason for its victory. Opened in 1991, the world's smallest stock exchange by market capitalisation has gained a stunning 187 per cent so far this year (in sterling terms), and a still impressive 136 per cent when measured in the local currency, the tugrik.
However, actually investing a pound there is something of a challenge. According to data from Bloomberg, this year's best-performing stock market, to which you could more easily gain some exposure, has been that of Sri Lanka. Had you invested a pound in the Colombo market at the start of the year, your money would have turned into £2.07 at the close of last week. Investors in the local currency, the Sri Lankan rupee, saw their money increase by 92.3 per cent.

Colorado State University Team Receives $1.5 Million NSF Grant to Study Climate Change Impacts on Mongolian Pastoralists
December 28 (Media-Newswire.com) - FORT COLLINS - A team of researchers from Colorado State University’s Warner College of Natural Resources has been awarded a $1.5 million National Science Foundation grant to study the impact of climate change on rangeland-based ecosystems and livelihoods of pastoralists in Mongolia.
The project focuses on the way Mongolian pastoral systems are impacted by climate change and how the development of local resource management institutions can aid communities in adapting to climate change.
…
The research team will use ecological and social science data collection and analysis methods – ranging from remote sensing to ethnographic interviews – to investigate how community-based rangeland management organizations function and whether they improve a community’s resilience to climate change impacts.
“Our hope is that the results of this study will have direct implications for environmental policy in Mongolia,” said Jessica Thompson, co-principal investigator on the project and assistant professor in CSU’s Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources. “Specifically, we plan to have a direct impact on stakeholders, including herders and policy-makers, through their engagement in participatory modeling and scenario planning workshops.”

China likely to set up rare earth trade body
December 29 (China Daily) China is considering establishing an industry association and a government unit for the rare earths industry to gain more control over the precious metals, senior officials said Tuesday.
The rare earths industry association is likely to be launched in May and will assist companies in exports and international cooperation, Wang Caifeng, a former official of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), who is setting up the group, said at a forum.
"We will be on the frontlines leading price talks with foreign buyers. Our role will be similar to that of the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA)," she said.
…
China on Tuesday issued the first round of 2011 export quotas for rare earths, 14,446 tons, 11 percent less than the first round last year, according to a statement on the Ministry of Commerce website.
On claims made by United States on China's alleged restrictions on exports of rare earths, experts said China's policy has never violated the rules and regulations under the framework of the World Trade Organization.
…
Zhang Anwen, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Society of Rare Earths, said: "China's measures are for the sake of protecting the environment for the sustainable development for the industry."
Since 2006, the country has imposed temporary taxes on rare earths exports and set limits on quotas. In 2010, China reduced export quotas to 60 percent, causing alarm among importing countries such as Japan.
The Ministry of Finance said on its website last week that China will raise the export taxes for some rare earth minerals to 25 percent in 2011.
The country is speeding up the pace of mergers and acquisitions in the rare earths sector and is encouraging consolidation among State-owned enterprises. China plans to cut the number of rare earths companies from the current 90 to 20 by 2015.
