Mongolian Mining raises $650 mln in HK IPO –sources (Update 1)
* Mongolian Mining prices HK IPO at HK$7.02 each-sources
* Company valued at 12.6 times estimated 2011 earnings (Adds details and background)
HONG KONG, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Mongolian Mining Corp, Mongolia's largest privately-held domestic producer and exporter of coking coal, raised $650 million by pricing its Hong Kong initial public offering at the middle of an indicative range, sources familiar with the deal said.
Mongolian Mining , whose Ukhaa Ukudag (UHG) mine is roughly 245 km from Mongolia's border with China, sold 719 million shares at HK$7.02 each, the middle of the range of HK$6.48 to HK$7.56 each, two sources said.
The sources were directly involved with the deal but not authorised to speak publicly on the matter.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index .HSI has gained 11 percent in the third quarter, with more than 20 companies tapping the market to raise funds in these two months, including American International Assurance's (AIA) $15 billion Hong Kong IPO.
At the offering price range, Mongolian Mining is valued at 12.6 times forecast 2011 earnings estimated by bookrunners.
By comparison, Hidili Industry (1393.HK) trades at 12.4 times forecast 2011 earnings, while Fushan International Energy Group (0639.HK) trades at 14.4 times, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Citigroup (C.N) and JP Morgan (JPM.N) are joint global co-ordinators and joint bookrunners for the IPO. Both banks declined to comment to Reuters on the pricing.
Mongolian Mining generated orders for more than 10 times the shares initially on offer to Hong Kong retail investors, one of the sources said, adding that Henderson Land (0012.HK) Chairman Lee Shau-kee and GIC also invested to the stock.
Mongolian Mining, partly owned by Mongolia's largest private conglomerate MCS Holding and Kerry Group, started mining at UHG deposit in April 2009.
The company produced 1.8 million tonnes of coking coal by the end of 2009 and plans to produce about 3.8 million tonnes of coking coal in 2010 and increase its coal production to about 14.7 million tonnes for 2013.
Mongolia Mining has engaged Sedgman to build a coal handling and washing plant in order to recover the margins linked with coal washing, currently being conducted by third parties.
Mongolian Mining's trading debut is set for Oct. 13, under the symbol "975" 0975.HK. (US$1=HK$7.76)

China, Mongolia Plan to Jointly Build New Highway for Coal Transportation
October 5 (Xinhua) A new highway linking China and Mongolia is expected to be jointly built by the two countries with a total investment of 2.51 billion yuan (around 375 million U.S. dollars), local authorities said Tuesday.
The new highway is planned to be 245 kilometers in length and will run from Mongolia's southwest Omnogovi Aymag Province to Ganqimaodu, a border town in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, said a regional government official.
Two firms from China and Mongolia plan to set up a joint venture, which will be the main builder of the highway. The Mongolia firm will own 51 percent of the joint venture while the China firm the remaining 49 percent.
Construction of the highway is scheduled to be completed in two years.
The project plan had been submitted to the authorities of the two countries respectively, the official said.
The new highway was expected to improve coal transportation between the two countries, as well as promote economic development in China and Mongolia, the official said.
Trade between China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Mongolia reached 5.33 billion U.S. dollars and jumped 33.5 percent year on year over the first eight months of this year. As of Sept. 22, around 5.24 million tonnes of coal had been transported to China via Ganqimaodu.
Chief of the State Property Committee on his way out?
October 5 (news.mn) There are strong rumors the present head of the State Property Management and Privatization Board in the State Property Committee (SPC), Kh. Kherlen, would soon replace D. Sugar as SPC chief. A decision will be taken only after the Prime Minister returns from his foreign visit, but the talk is that Sugar has realized his days are numbered and is trying to prepare the ground for T. Ganbold, once the Chief of the Black Metal Factory in Darkhan, to succeed him. However, the appointment is always political and the Secretary-General of the MPRP, U. Khurelsukh, strongly favors Kherlen.
No formal charges have been laid out against Sugar who has said, “Nobody can dismiss me.” He is an experienced state official and lawyer, a former MP and also worked as State Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. But not all his actions as Chief of the SPC were taken to be above board. These include the way the SPC under him decided to sell to the Burkheest Khairkhan company the 131-km railway that transported uranium from Dornod Mardai to Russia, and the way he allowed O. Erdene, Director of Mongolrostsevetmet, to give the Asgat silver mine, worth USD8 billion, to Polimetall of Russia. The Asgat contract was canceled by M. Enkhbold who was Prime Minister then. Sugar has always maintained that he had nothing to do with the agreement. Sugar also once declared his annual income to the Anti- Corruption Authority (ACA) as MNT6 million. The media disputed this but Sugar did not accept the charge.
The recent issue of selection of an organization for restructuring the MSE cannot be very important as it is believed that despite their differences, the Prime Minister and Sugar share an agreeable relationship. (Mogi: Actually, Sugar recently gave an interview saying MSE tender was cancelled, right after the PM was quoted as saying that London Stock Exchange was frontrunner for the management bid)
The main reason why Sugar has fallen out of favor may be his way of working and his perceived inability to adapt himself to the changing times. Maybe the MPRP wants its own man in the job when important appointments are to be made soon, like that of the executive management team for the Development Bank, which will arrange for disbursement of over MNT100 billion.

Strong exports deliver 'healthy' trade surplus
October 5 (AAP) Strong coal and iron ore exports contributed to a ‘‘healthy’’ $2.3 billion trade surplus in August despite falls in overall exports and imports, economists say.

International trade data released today shows exports were down 2.0 per cent in August in adjusted terms, compared with the previous month, while imports fell 5.0 per cent.

Mongolia GDP Per Cap Set to Rise Faster than China’s
Oct. 5 (2point6billion.com)– With a huge upsurge in M&A deals and investments in Mongolia’s resource rich mining sector, Mongolians are about to get a lot more money filtering down into their pockets.
In a country the size of the entire land mass of Western Europe, but with a population of just 3 million, Mongolians are set for a bonanza as money pours into the country. Over just the past 12 months, Mongolia has become an attractive investment destination for companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Several such companies have acquired resource assets in Mongolia worth US$966 million in M&A deals. All recent Mongolia M&A deals in which Hong Kong companies were involved were completed through injection of resource assets into the existing publicly listed companies in Ulaanbaatar. Per capita income for Mongolians is expected to rise to US$5,000 within the next two years and to a staggering US$12,000 by 2015. To put that into perspective, that’s about what the average Shanghainese earns now.
South Gobi, a major mining business with significant Mongolian assets, has already been listed in Canada and attracted a further US$300 million in its recent IPO. As investors clamber all over themselves to get into the Mongolian market, consumer patterns are already changing. Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo and Cartier have already opened stores in the flagship Central Tower on Sukhbataar Square (Mogi: Actually, of these 4 brands, Louis Vuitton is the 1 only with a shop in Central Tower. The big brands that are here are, besides LV, Emporio Armani, Ermenegildo Zegna, Burberry, Boss, Mont Blanc and others like Shiseido, L’Occitane, Swarovski, Esprit), Mongolia’s equivalent of Moscow’s Red Square or Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. With China already the world’s largest consumer of coal, Mongolia’s massive reserves are finding a ready market. On top of that, Mongolia has significant deposits of gold, copper, molybdenum, tungsten, nickel, zinc, wolfram, fluorspar, tin, silver, various minerals and rare earths. In what is rapidly becoming a darling amongst the Asian Tigers of Opportunity, Mongolia may well be worth considering if businesses are involved in the mining sector or wish to sell consumables to its newly wealthy.
Another industry where Mongolia is starting to develop is solar energy. The sunniest country in the world, it is not uncommon for modern nomads to power their gers with solar panels on the roof and thus enjoy evening TV, video and free energy satellite communications. Ulaanbaatar is a one and a half hour flight directly north from Beijing, making it closer to China’s capital than Shanghai. While China slows, Mongolian GDP and domestic consumption is about to skyrocket, and although a relatively small market, foreign investors capable of dealing with emerging plays would do well to investigate.

4 gains, 1 drop
Mogi & Friends Fund is a tiny fund of $6,000 I created with a few friends to put my own (and few friends’) money where my mouth (just mine) is.
Mogi: Well, it can’t look good on paper everyday right? More so for small cap, highly speculative stocks. These things tend to go crazy on just one good release and this is when you take your profit. But when all is quiet, a few thousand bucks can hurt your portfolio, or even just a few bucks. But you have to remember, you only lose money IF you sell it at a lower price. If you still keep faith and hold on to it, chances are still there you might get rewarded for your patience, veeeeery handsomely.
My stock went down a few cents today, but still higher than what I bought, so don’t call me loser just yet. I intend to get well paid for my patience.
If you look at a historical chart of any index, you’ll see exactly this, goes up 10, goes down 5, goes up 10, goes down 5. Well, you can’t compare a drop in my stock to a global recession, but you get my point.
