Metal-Tech warns of write-downs (on Erdenet JV)
Mogi: Previously reported development
LONDON (SHARECAST) - Tungsten and molybdenum recycler Metal-Tech says that it may have to make substantial write-downs if its partner in the Mongolian joint venture Shim-Technology goes ahead with its plan to initiate bankruptcy proceedings against the joint venture.
Joint venture partner Erdenet Mining Company (EMC) notified the joint venture that, as it is in arrears on the repayment of bank debt of just over $7m, it wants to wind it up. The lender is demanding repayment from EMC, which is guarantor of the loan, on behalf of the joint venture.
AIM-quoted Metal-Tech argues that EMC’s failure to supply raw materials to the joint venture meant that it could not restart production when metals prices recovered and thereby generate cash to make debt repayments.
The joint venture has not operated for two years. Metal-Tech’s liability is limited to $500,000.

Xanadu earns 51% equity in the highly prospective Elgen-Zos Project
January 19 (XAM release) Following the completion of a scout drilling program in late 2010, Xanadu has earned a 51% equity interest in Altan Xanadu LLC, owner of the highly prospective Elgen-Zos gold project, approximately 30 kms from the Chinese border.
The Joint Venture (JV) area was recently expanded with the acquisition of two new licences, bring the total area of exploration licenses held to 417sq kms. These two licences are contiguous with the previous ground package and help consolidate Xanadu’s land holding over the highly prospective Elgen-Zos area. Within the recently acquired licenses, earlier exploration focused on the Suug prospect, an area of altered sedimentary rocks with strongly anomalous gold, antimony and mercury rock samples.
Diamond drilling was undertaken late in the year to test targets generated from the available geology and CSAMT resistivity survey lines. One hole was drilled on a CSAMT target south west of the Suug prospect. The remaining drilling focused on the immediate Elgen area. Assay results are yet to be received.

Bringing a Monastery Back to Life
January 19 (NYT) KARAKORUM, MONGOLIA — Erdene Zuu, Mongolia’s oldest surviving Buddhist monastery, is a sprawling, windswept complex nestled in the Orkhon Valley, the ancient cultural crossroads where Genghis Khan chose to locate the capital of his empire, Karakorum, back in 1220. The monastery — which dates to 1586 and was built with stones from the ruined capital — once had 60 temples and 1,000 monks who lived in hundreds of gers dotted throughout the swaying grass. Now it has just 54 monks, none of whom live on the site, and 13 temples, only one of which — the Lama Temple — can be used for worship.

Montblanc Makes Its Mark in Mongolia
January 17 (WSJ) A surge in Asian sales was the story behind Compagnie Financiere Richemont’s 33 percent increase in third quarter sales.
Booming sales in China along with increased spending by Chinese tourists coming to Europe to buy luxury Cartier jewelry and high-end Roger Dubuis and Piaget watches, were responsible for much of the upswing.
Not really surprising, but what about some of the less obvious Asian markets—like Mongolia?
Wandering around the 21st Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), I bumped into the director of Ulaanbaatar’s only Montblanc boutique. Indeed the only Montblanc boutique in the entire country.
Amgalan Enkhbazar opened the store last year and since then business is doing well: “People in Mongolia used to worship mountains, so the name Montblanc—as the biggest mountain in Europe—has a particular appeal to them,” he said. “Customers also buy things to bring them luck and it is important to have luck in business and life.”
