Mongolia to Choose Tavan Tolgoi Coal Mine Contractor This Month

Nov. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Mongolia will use a bidding process this month to choose a contractor to mine in Tavan Tolgoi, a region with one of the world's largest untapped deposits of coal for making steel, a Ministry of Finance official said.

"The auction will be decided by the end of this month and the operation of the mine will be handed over as soon as possible, perhaps in December," Dorjkhand Togmid, deputy director-general at the ministry's development financing and cooperation department, said today in an interview in Tokyo. Togmid was attending a Mongolian-Japanese business forum.

New Railroad

Mongolia's railway policy calls for new track to be laid in the existing broad gauge or 1,520 millimeters (5 feet) that is also used in Russia, rather than China's standard gauge, according to presentation materials for a speech today by Chuluunkhuu Ganbat, adviser to the Minister of Road, Transportation, Construction and Urban Development.

The government plans to connect Tavan Tolgoi to the national rail network rather than build a direct link to China because authorities want to avoid dependence on their southern neighbor, New York-based EurasiaNet.org said in August.

Korea's LIG building Choir-Sainshand Road

November 17 (Korea Times) LIG Engineering and Construction (E&C), one of the top-tier builders here in Korea, is changing the face of the Mongolian landscape, creating a highway, which traverses the central Asian country.

The Seoul-based company said Wednesday that the construction works are faring well to pave a 176 kilometer-long two-lane road from Choir, situated around 260 kilometers southeast of Ulaanbaatar, to Sainshand adjacent to the capital.

This May, LIG E&C won a $43.87 million order for the road in a hard-fought contest involving global players from China and Russia. The entity broke ground of the Mongolian government's biggest-ever construction project in September. 

``The jobs are underway as planned. We will complete them by 2012, which will substantially improve transportation in Mongolia as well as help the country preserve its ecologically-significant prairie,'' LIG CEO Kang Hee-yong said. 

Established in 1967, LIG E&C has remained a first-string constructor in Asia's No. 4 economy. It is widely known by its brand LIGA.

Australia

Spooked investors dump shares

Close More than $24 billion was wiped off the market value of Australian stocks today, after offshore worries pushed the local bourse to its weakest level in four weeks.

The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index fell 76 points, or 1.6 per cent, to 4624.3, posting the largest one-day fall since October 12. The broader All Ordinaries index plunged 77.7 points, or 1.6 per cent, to 4705.1.

Among the major sub-indexes, gold stocks fell 3.1 per cent, energy dropped 2.8 per cent, materials lost 2.5 per cent, while financial lost 1.1 per cent.

- Gold slips to $US1337 an ounce
Oil edges up to $US82.67 a barrel
- Dow futures slump 189 points to 10,984

Miners hit hard

Locally, there The miners were hit hard, with Rio Tinto the worst performer on the S&P/ASX20 slipping 3.2 per cent, or $2.75, to $83.69, as metals prices slid on fears that demand from China, the world's biggest metals consumer, would cool.

<Mogi & Friends Fund A/C>

Back to 58%, Reconfirmation from Additional Investors

Mogi & Friends Fund is a tiny fund of US$6,000 I created with a few friends to put my own (and a few friends') money where my mouth (just mine) is.

Mogi: It's back up.

I've stated previously I've decided not cash out in order to fill the Fund's A$10K subscription for Haranga Resources. I have firm commitment from three additional new investors for over A$10K.

Markets are spooked lately with China's inflation concerns. A proper adjustment in the market perhaps as investors have overly bullish on resources lately. More cheap stocks I'd say.
