Citi lifts Mongol Mining (975) TP to HK$10.67

June 3 (ETNet) Citigroup raised its target price for Mongolian Mining (MMC, 00975) to HK$10.67 from HK$10, and maintained its "buy" call.

It believes the recently announced acquisition of Baruun Naran coal mine is accretive due to synergies. A 15% share-price drop from February reflects near-term concerns about MMC. 

Citi expects the share price to recover if a fuel shortage is resolved and MMC's washing plant begins its commercial run, and if full-year output and sales targets are achieved. (KL)

KOREA AND MONGOLIA

Morning Calm Emerges Amid Blue Sky

June 6 (Eurasia Capital) --

Strong Ties. South Korea and Mongolia have been important diplomatic and trading partners in over the last 20 years. Mongolia sees South Korea as its “third neighbor” and is keen to expand its partnership with Asia’s fourth largest economy and diversify its trade away from its two largest trading partners - China and Russia. The partnership between Mongolia and South Korea has developed significantly since the two countries launched diplomatic relationships in 1990. South Korea has supported Mongolia in transition reforms to a market economy. In its turn, Mongolia plays an important role in improving relationships with North Korea, one of the major policy issues for South Korea.

Third largest trading partner. Mongolia’s trade with South Korea has almost quadrupled over the last decade and the Asia’s fourth biggest economy is now the third largest trading partner of the resource rich country after China and Russia. In addition, South Korea is the largest labor market for Mongolians. Estimates suggest that 38,000 to 40,000 Mongolian’s live in South Korea.

Korean Investors. South Korea is the 4th largest investor in Mongolia with total foreign direct investment (FDI) of over US$255mn since 1990, according to the Foreign Investment and Foreign Trade Agency of Mongolia (FIFTA). South Korea is also a key donor who has provided approximately US$137mn since 1990 in committed loans and grants to Mongolia. South Korean companies’ major investments and engagements include:

·         Skytel: a JV with South Korean SK Telecom and Mongolian shareholders.

·         Unitel Corp.: a 50/50 South Korean-Mongolian JV that started providing GSM services from 2006

·         Mongolian Telecom: Korea Telecom bought 40% of the Company for US$4.5mn at privatization.

·         Seoul Group: a property company with the first public luxury residential project in Ulaanbaatar

·         Mongolian Development Bank: Korean Development Bank is expected to be hired as part of the management team to run this newly established Mongolian development vehicle

Major South Korean companies including state-owned Korea Resources Corp, steelmaker Posco and Korea Electric Power Corp have bid to the Western Tsankhi coalfield, the largest area of the Tavan Tolgoi mine. The South Korean consortium is jointly bidding with Japanese and Russian companies. In March 2011, Lotte E&C-led South Korean consortium signed a preliminary deal with Mongolian Railways to build a 1,040-kilometer railway in Mongolia.

We believe Mongolia represents a unique investment opportunity for South Korean investors due to strong political support, favorable economic environment and attractive investment projects. We hold an optimistic view that South Korean investments in Mongolia will increase as investors seek to capitalize on the expected boom in this resource-rich country. Investors are expected to capitalize on significant growth in the Mongolian capital market and pursue private equity deals in both resource and non-resource sectors. Natural resources, infrastructure and property in Mongolia are key areas where we expect South Korean investors, operators and developers to be increasingly active in coming years.

Presenting: The "Saudi Arabia" Of Asia

June 5 (Business Insider) If you're a true believer in the Chinese growth story, and the voracious demand for commodities that will represent in the coming years, you can't do any better than Mongolia.

Christopher Wood, in his latest GREED & Fear report writes:

A few meetings in Ulaanbaatar made it clear that the fundamental issue for this landlocked country is whether it will be able to develop the infrastructure, notably transport linkages, to take full advantage of its massive resource wealth. If it does, Mongolia will be to industrial commodities what Saudi Arabia has been for oil – assuming, of course, that the Chinese macro story remains on track.

Mongolian coal along is growing like crazy:

For now the ramping up of mining developments remains on track. The IMF now expects nominal GDP to real reach MNT16.6tn in 2013, twice the 2010 level of MNT8.3tn Coal exports are expected to reach 27.6m tons in 2011, up from 16.6m tons in 2010 with production of 41.6m tons expected in 2013. If coal is for now making the running, copper will take over in 2013 with the then anticipated commencement of production in 2013 of the Oyu Tolgoi (OT) field. Mongolia also is rich in gold, oil and assorted “rare earth” plays. But before all that kicks in the Mongolian story will have to navigate the inevitable noise of a general election due to be held in June 2012. The present government is an uneasy coalition of the two main parties. They are the Mongolian People's Party (MPP), the descendant of the old Communist Party, and the Democratic Party, set up in 1990 with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Mongolia Shining: Important lessons in inclusive growth

June 6 (The Economic Times) India's economic gurus , now in hibernation somewhere deep inside Raisina Hill , should wake up and look at the world's latest poster-child of reform - Mongolia . Growth there is 10% and is expected to cross 20% by 2013. Mining is big business, but citizens of this democratic country have not started to fret about any adverse impact on the environment. Markets are up more than 25% this year, even after cooling off substantially. 

Overseas capital is rushing in. But the most remarkable thing that the Mongolian government is doing, is pursuing its own version of inclusive growth. In order to let citizens share in the boom, it has given away - yes, for free - 538 shares in state-owned mining giant Erdenes-Tavan Tolgoi to each Mongolian. Currently at price zero, there's surely a significant upside for people when the stock lists, in an IPO scheduled for later this year. Under Chengiz Khan, the Mongols fanned out to occupy much of Central Asia, Europe and China. China is back again in the crosshairs of the Mongols, but this time as the main buyer of much of its mineral wealth, and the source of manufactured imports. At around $2,000, Mongolia's per capita income is relatively low. 

The government wants people to spend without worrying too much, so it recently gave $55 to each person to do what they want. It also sweetened the handout with a monthly stipend of $15 for everyone. India, which lacks for many things but not trained economists, has worked itself into a lather debating how to reform our creaking subsidy and food delivery system, and how to make cash transfers work. It's time to export some economists to Ulan Bator, and import some Mongol commonsense. The economists are welcome, of course, to suggest substituting members of the National Advisory Council for themselves.
