Mongolia may decide soon on uranium joint venture with Russia
May 4 (RIA Novosti) The government of Mongolia could soon decide on establishing a joint venture with Russia to develop a Mongolian uranium deposit, the head of the Russian civilian nuclear power corporation, Rosatom, said on Tuesday.
At a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Sergei Kiriyenko said that Russia had signed an intergovernmental deal on the uranium joint venture early in 2009 but the project stalled due to the change of government in Mongolia.
"Already after the election, we signed an agreement with the new government and in January signed a specific protocol. The government of Mongolia has made a decision on the Dornod-uranium deposit. This deposit is in the ownership of the government of Mongolia," Sergei Kiriyenko said.

...
Mongolia was another partner country discussed at the meeting. Following the elections in Mongolia, Rosatom “signed an agreement with the new government”, and back in January the sides “inked a detailed protocol.”
“Just recently we have met the head of Mongolia's Security Council who confirmed that some time in the short term the government is expected to adopt the final decision on the Dornod uranium deposit and on the organisation of our joint venture,” Kiriyenko said.
“We'll be able to start working there very promptly, as our Trans-Amur Mining Plant is only 300 kilometres away from the deposit, in Russia’s Chita region,” he said. “We'll be able to borrow specialists and equipment from there.”
“We even may train Mongolian specialist at our technical college in the Chita region.”

Deripaska’s SMR Said to Plan $200 Million IPO in Hong Kong
May 4 (Bloomberg) -- Strikeforce Mining & Resources Plc, a Russian molybdenum producer controlled by billionaire Oleg Deripaska, is gauging demand for an initial public offering in Hong Kong that may raise as much as $200 million, said a person with knowledge of the plan.
...
“I don’t see any urgency to rush into this one,” said Alex Wong, asset management director at Ample Capital Ltd. in Hong Kong. SMR “probably won’t be too hot so to speak given how Rusal performed. These kind of stocks aren’t very well covered in terms of research.”
SMR produces more than 6 percent of the global supply of ferro-molybdenum which is used to make stainless steel. The company also owns a share in Buka Mining, which holds a development license for gold, silver and copper deposits in Mongolia, according to its Web site.

Australian tax plan shakes up mining industry
May 4 (Reuters) - A proposed new tax on Australian miners has rekindled fears that other mining jurisdictions may adopt similar legislation, hurting the industry and curtailing the pace of global exploration.
At the very least, Australia's plan to levy a 40 percent tax on profits could deter mining investment in the country, raise the price of key natural resources and drive miners to invest in lower tax jurisdictions.
The governments of Mongolia, Zambia, Peru and Ecuador have considered, and in some instances implemented, a windfall profits tax on the mining sector.
...
Plaster said the Australian proposal makes Canada a more attractive venue for investment in metallurgical coal.
...
Miners with operations outside Australia could also benefit from a higher Australian tax as it would likely increase the prices of bulk commodities like iron ore and coal.
