MMC begins operations at Baruun Naran

National coal miner Mongolian Mining Corp. (MMC) through its fully-owned subsidiary Khangad Exploration LLC and a team of specialists from various government agencies have begun operations at the Baruun Naran coking coal mine.


MMC hopes to mine 1 million tons coal by 31 December 2012 from the Baruun Naran coking mine, located in Umnugobi Aimag in southern Mongolia and approximately 30 kilometers from its Ukhaa Khudag coking coal mine.

It plans to transport the coalfrom the Baruun Naran mine to Ukhaa Khudag for processing at its coal handling and preparation plant before further marketing as washed coking coal for sale in China. In February 2010, McElroy Bryan Geological Services updated the geological model for the Baruun Naran coking coal deposit according to the Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC”) and identified approximately 282 million tons of JORC-compliant measured and indicated resources. In March 2011, SRK Consulting completed reserve estimates which may change as MMC begins to conduct its own studies and analysis on the future development of the Baruun Naran coking coal deposit.
