Japanese Cos To Bid For Mongolia Tavan Tolgoi Mine Development (Tender on Jan 17)

TOKYO, Dec 27, 2010 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) --

A consortium of four Japanese trading houses plans to bid for partial development of Mongolia's coal deposits of more than 6 billion metric tons, spokesmen of three of the four companies said Monday.

The consortium of Itochu Corp. (8001.TO), Sumitomo Corp. (8053.TO), Sojitz Corp. (2768.TO) and Marubeni Corp. (8002.TO) plans to bid during a tender by the Mongolian government scheduled for Jan. 17 on developing part of the Tavan Tolgoi mine in the southeast, said the spokesmen of Itochu, Sumitomo Corp. and Sojitz. Marubeni wasn't immediately available for comment.

Coal prices have soared in recent three years tracking greater consumption by China.

The four Japanese trading firms are also considering inviting South Korean and Russian companies to bid together, but the matter hasn't been decided, the spokesmen said.

The Tavan Tolgoi mine is expected to produce coking coal. If the Japanese consortium wins the tender, Sumitomo Corp. and Sojitz would supply a major part of the mine's coal to Japanese steel makers, the spokesman said.

The Itochu spokesman said the company views China as a major marketing target for the coal since China is geographically closer to the mine.

Meanwhile, Japanese media have reported that Mitsui & Co. (8031.TO) and Chinese coal miner Shenhua Group Corp. are discussing a joint bid with U.S. coal giant Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU) for the same tender. Mitsui's spokesman wasn't immediately available for comment.

Japan, S Korea, Russia eye Mongolia coal mine - Nikkei

Dec 25 (Reuters) - Itochu Corp (8001.T), Sumitomo Corp (8053.T) and two Japanese trading firms will jointly bid for rights to a large Mongolian coal mine, along with a South Korean consortium and a state-owned Russian company, the Nikkei business daily said.

The Tavan Tolgoi mine in southeast Mongolia is said to host untapped deposits of more than 6 billion tons -- over 30 times Japan's annual coal imports -- the paper said.

Trading houses Marubeni Corp (8002.T) and Sojitz Corp (2768.T), together with Russia's state-owned railway company and a South Korean consortium led by Korea Resources Corp, have agreed to jointly bid in an auction to be held by the Mongolian government in mid-January, the daily said.

The partners plan to transport the mined coal by rail to the east Russian coast, the newspaper added.

Meanwhile, Mitsui & Co (8031.T) and Chinese partner Shenhua Group Corp (601088.SS) (1088.HK) are also discussing a joint bid with U.S. coal giant Peabody Energy (BTU.N), making it the second and only other group, to participate in the bidding, down from the initial five, the Nikkei said.

Nippon Steel ‘Interested’ in Mongolian, Russian Coal 

Dec. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Nippon Steel Corp., Japan’s biggest mill, is interested in investing in coal projects in Mongolia and Russia to secure raw material supplies, an executive said.

“There is plenty of high-quality coal at Elga and Tavan Tolgoi” deposits, said Shinichi Taniguchi, executive vice president of the Tokyo-based company. “We’re interested” in taking stakes or helping develop the regions, he said.

Nippon Steel wants to see the projects in Mongolia and Russia developed “as soon as possible” to ease tightening global supply and help push down prices, Taniguchi said in an interview in Tokyo.

Contract coking coal prices for the first three months of 2011 were agreed at $225 a ton, Citigroup Inc. said Dec. 17. That’s 74 percent higher than the year earlier level.

Rich Deposits

China Shenhua Energy Co., the nation’s biggest coal producer, and Itochu Corp., Japan’s fourth-largest trading company, are among those interested in developing Tavan Tolgoi, which holds more than 6 billion metric tons of coal.

Sumitomo Corp., Japan’s third-largest trading company, expressed interest in helping develop the Elga field. OAO Mechel, Russia’s biggest producer of coal for steelmaking, sold 20 billion rubles ($654 million) of bonds this year to refinance its debt and help fund a railroad to the Elga deposit. Mechel plans to start production at Elga next year, it said this month.

Nippon Steel is seeking to obtain half of its iron ore and coal needs though its own sources, Taniguchi said, without specifying a timeframe. Nippon Steel agreed to acquire a 23 percent stake in the $600 million Revuboe coal project in Mozambique in October.

JFE Holdings Inc., Nippon’s biggest domestic rival, plans to spend as much as 200 billion yen ($2.4 billion) to invest in iron ore and coal mines in Australia and Brazil to double its self sufficiency by 2013, Eiji Hayashida, the president of the steelmaking unit said, said in a May 7 interview.
