Key Organizational Changes

In Jan 2010, the company entered into a contract with Hyundai Engineering for development of gas treatment in resource-rich Turkmenistan and the plant is worth USD 1.48 bn. In March 2010, the company agreed to enter into a strategic partnership agreement with GEOPARK in a joint effort to acquire oil blocks in South America. In April 2010, LG signed the acquisition of NW Konys in Kazakhstan from Galaz Energy B.V. It acquired 40% interest in the operating company for the NW Konys, besides the rights of operations. In July 2010, LG obtained approval for world's first CDM project from UN for new methodology in the LCD field. It also built an SF6 abatement facility at a cost of 10 billion won at the LG Display Gumi Plant 6, and successfully conducted test-operations early this year.GlobalData uses a range of research techniques to gather and verify its information and analysis. 

 

Galaz is currently preparing plans for remedial action, most likely to be cement squeeze and reperforation. Under the terms of the recently announced sale and purchase agreement (SPA), further operations will wait until the company's new partner, LG International, have reviewed and approved the program. Before closing of the SPA which will be subject to various state approvals, the parties have agreed to revise the operating company (Galaz and Company LLP) constituent documents such that LG International will have operational control of the sub-soil user contract.Mar 12, 2010LGI, GeoPark Partner To Acquire, Develop Upstream Oil, Gas ProjectsLG International (LGI) and oil and gas explorer and producer GeoPark have formed a new strategic partnership to jointly Acquire and develop upstream oil and gas projects in Latin America.The objective of the LGI-GeoPark strategic growth partnership is to build a portfolio of upstream opportunities and the intent is to leverage the platform and experience of both partners to identify and carry out side-by-side acquisitions, initially targeting upstream projects in the $100m-$500m range size.

Overview

 

LG International Corporation (LGI) is engaged in trading in commodities, information technology products and services, consumer products and industrial products. The company has a strong brand image in the global market and operates business through diverse business verticals, in spite of declining operating margins and liquidity. Though the company has risks associated with economic slowdown and technology changes, the growing IT services market and its strategic acquisitions ensure top line growth.

 

 

Strengths

 

Government Contracts

The company’s contracts provide it the potential to derive growth and develop financial stability. In January 2010, the company and Hyundai Engineering received a contract for the largest plant in resource-rich Turkmenistan. The project for the gas treatment plant is worth of USD 1.48 billion from Turkmenistan’s state-owned company, which started in January 2010 and is forecast to end in Q3, 2012, in which LG and Hyundai undertake engineering, procurement, and construction activities. After completion, the plant is expected to produces 10bn cubic meters of natural gas annually through desulfurization process, which is designed to remove sulfur from natural gas. The prestigious government contract helps improve the company’s brand image and market share.

 

Well Established Brand

The LG Group’s trading arm is LG International Corporation (LGI) and it is the second largest trading company in Korea. The products and services of the company have a strong brand image in the world market. The company won the 97th global brand award by BusinessWeek and Interbrand, a branding consultancy. Recently, in Indonesia Best Brand Awards 2010, LG’s brand share was 2.0 with the satisfaction index of 92.9. The company’s brand value reported for 28.6 in 2010, whereas HP Notebooks won the Indonesia Best Brand Award 2010 with a brand value of 54.2 in 2010. Such strong branding can increase and strengthen the company’s portfolio and revenue.

 

Diversified Portfolio

The company is engaged in the trading business with several products in various sectors, resource development and import distribution. The company generates revenue from all the sectors in which it operates. The company trades in commodities such as metals and coal, petrochemicals, industry products and IT products. The industrial products include aviation and machinery. The company’s IT products include digital equipment and optical equipment such as camera accessories, digital cameras and memory cards. The company also provides display products such as LCD, PDP TVs, LCD panels, electron guns and shadow masks. The company is also engaged in engineering and procurement and construction. The diversified portfolio of the company provides it a competitive advantage.

 

 

Weaknesses

 

Declining Market Share in Sector

The company's compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for revenue was -1.24% during 2005-2009. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of 12.74%. A lower than S&P 500 companies average* revenue CAGR may indicate that the company has performed below the S&P 500 companies’ average growth and lost market share over the last four years. The company's underperformance could be attributed to a weak competitive position or inferior products and services offering or lack of innovative products and services.

 

Limited Liquidity

LG has limited liquidity, which represents the company’s weak operational performance. In 2009, the company reported a decreased current ratio of 1.02 times as compared to 1.04 times in 2008. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of 1.46. A lower than S&P 500 companies average* current ratio indicates that the company is in a weaker financial position than other companies in the S&P 500 index. Similarly, the company’s quick ratio dropped down to 0.76 times in 2009 as compared to 0.79 times in 2008, and its cash ratio decreased to 0.08 times as compared to 0.11 times in 2008. The decreasing ratios represent weak liquidity and performance of the company. The performance of the company largely depends upon the cash reserves and its ability to generate cash from operations.

 

Declining Operating Margins

The company displayed declining operating margins in fiscal year 2009, which may affect its financial position. The company’s operating margin decreased to 1.8% in 2009 as compared to 1.85% in 2008. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of 7.26%. A lower than S&P 500 companies average* operating margin may indicate inefficient cost management or a weak pricing strategy by the company. The operating margin decreased 5 bps over 2008, which may indicate management's low focus on profitability. In addition, the company’s cost ratio such as operating costs and administration costs increased over last fiscal. In 2009, the company’s operating costs increased to 98.20% as compared to 98.14% in 2008, and its administration costs increased to 3.96% in 2009 as compared to 3.70% in 2008. Decreasing margins and increasing costs represent the operational inefficiency of LGI, which affects its top line growth.

 

 

Opportunities

 

Raising Demand for Consumer Electronics

The company trades in consumer electronics products and components. The demand for global consumer electronics products is increasing year-on-year and the market is expected to reach USD 233.8 billion by the end of fiscal year 2011. The consumer electronics market, by the year end 2011, could reach USD 79 billion. The consumer electronics market’s annual growth is expected to be 5.9 % till 2011. The market for global consumer electronics could increase 34.4% by the end of the year 2012. The consumer electronics market is expected to increase year-on-year which can increase the revenues of the company.


Strategic Acquisitions

The company focuses on acquisitions that complement its existing businesses. In this direction, in April 2010, the company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Galaz Energy B.V. to acquire a 40% interest in operating company for the NW Konys, Galaz and Company LLP, as well as all rights of operation. The acquisition adds to LGI’s total Exploration and Production assets in Kazakhstan, taking them to five (LGI’s existing blocks are ADA, Block8, Egizkara, and Zhambyl), and facilitates production volume of 1,600 barrels of oil per day and increase to 3,800 barrels of oil per day. Earlier, in 2008, the company secured 70% equity in the copper and zinc combined mine to acquire a dominant managerial right. Strategic acquisitions such as these enhance its product portfolio and global reach.

 

High Growth in IT Services

The company could benefit from the positive long-term outlook for IT services market. According to IDC, IT spending is expected to make a complete recovery by 2012, at an expected growth rate of 6%. Demand for IT services is likely to come from financial services, healthcare, communications and media. According to Gartner, worldwide IT spending is expected to reach USD 3.4 trillion in 2010, reflecting an increase of 4.6% over that in 2009. Moreover, the global IT market is expected to expand nearly 30% over the next few years. The demand for green IT services, driven by companies trying to improve their cost efficiencies, is projected to be about USD 4.8 billion by 2013. The demand for three major segments of the IT market, namely, hardware, software, and services, is expected to reach USD 562 billion, USD 327 billion and USD 587 billion respectively in 2010, due to an increase in demand for servers, peripherals and storage, and networking equipment. Thus, the company could capitalize on the growing global IT services market, which could enhance its revenue and strengthen its market position.

 

Threats

 

Rapid Technological Changes

The company's offerings are characterized by rapid technological changes, which may affect its business operations. To compete effectively with its peers, the company should continually introduce new products that exceed the customers’ requirements. The introduction of products using new technologies or the adoption of new industry standards can make existing products, or products under development, obsolete or unmarketable. Inability to study the evolving technological landscape may impact the company’s competitive position.

 

Global Economic Slowdown

The global economic slowdown, which began in 2008 spread to all corners of the world, could impact the business operations of the company. According to the World Bank, the global GDP contracted an estimated 2.2% in 2009. During 2009, developing economies presented a mixed bag, with economies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia contracting 6.2%, which was duly negated by the resilience shown by economies in East Asia and Pacific region, particularly China – growing an estimated 6.8%, and India, stable at 5.7%. However, developed economies dragged the global economy down with Japan and the US leading the pack. GDP was expected to weaken in 2009 by 3% per annum in the US. However, the global output is expected to expand 2.7% in 2010, and 3.2% in 2011 - still below the 5% generated in 2007. Such a weak economic outlook across the company’s key markets could negatively impact the demand for the company’s products.

 

Political Environment

The company operates its business in Korea. The Korean political environment is becoming uncertain each year. The political relations between North Korea and South Korea are adverse. The level of strain in their relations increased year-on- year. The increase in tension causes break-down in contacts and leads to an outbreak in military hostilities. The company exports all of its products. Hence, any increase in the strain in relations between the two countries can influence the company’s financial position and operations.

Mongolia Tavan Tolgoi Consortium Membership Still Under Discussion

Nikkei English News: 11 July 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

By Gurdeep Singh

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Mongolia's annual wrestling and archery festival this week has delayed approvals on the development of the country's Tavan Tolgoi coal deposits, but Japanese and South Korean negotiators now in Ulan Bator can go into talks with a certain optimism they will eventually get a slice of the estimated $7.3 billion project.

The July 11-12 timing of the Naadam celebrations, which this year mark the 805th anniversary of the Mongol Empire and which are one of the highlights of the Mongolian calendar, means parliament didn't have enough time in its summer session to debate and approve the project.

The rights to operate Tavan Tolgoi mines are being hotly contested as they cover one of the world's largest untapped coal reserves--6.4 billion metric tons.

The site is 270 kilometers from the Chinese border, deep in the Gobi desert, and the western half of the reserve being offered to developers contains much of the highly prized 1.8 billion tons of coking coal reserves known to be in the area.

However, people familiar with the process don't rule out the possibility the government may call a supplementary session to push the deal through ahead of parliament's normal late-September restart.

A week ago, Ulan Bator announced a list of winning companies, after earlier whittling them down to a six-name-strong shortlist. But it left out names of Japanese and Korean companies jointly bidding with some of the winners, causing some confusion and prompting a public condemnation by Seoul, which called the process "not fair".

Mongolia has a history of taking time on major contracts. It has only been about two years since formal talks began on Tavan Tolgoi and it will take years to develop the project, but what is becoming more evident is that there likely will be a lot more companies involved than confirmed by the government so far.

Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (IVN) spent more than six years negotiating its concession to exploit large Mongolian copper deposits at Oyu Tolgoi.

"I can just say one thing that negotiations are still going [on], nothing [is] finalized," Erdenes MGL LLC Executive Director B. Enebish told Dow Jones Newswires Monday via a text message. State-run Erdenes MGL is in charge of the Tavan Tolgoi project and negotiations with bidders.

It still isn't clear who is in and who is out, however. The government named three winners last week, including China'sShenhua International Ltd. (SHU.AU) and the U.S.'s Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU).

The makeup of the third winning partner--a Russian-Mongolian consortium of unnamed companies--is slowly beginning to emerge. People familiar with negotiations say it includes Japanese and Korean companies which had been in the shortlist.

An executive with Industrial Corporation of Mongolia confirmed that ICM was part of the consortium along with OSO Russian Railway, but declined to provide names of other members, saying negotiations between them were still ongoing.

An executive with state-run Korea Resources Corp., or Kores, said Monday that companies from Japan and South Korea are still part of the Russian Railway consortium that won a 36% stake in the project--split equally between the Russian and Mongolian sides. Partnership with Korean and Japanese end-users and traders is important for Russia's plan to become a primary export hub for Mongolian coal.

Japan's involvement seems likely for another reason--Mitsui & Co. (MITSY), which had submitted a joint bid with Shenhua, is still planning to work with its Chinese partner on the project, an executive with the company told Agence France-Presse last week. Shenhua got a 40% stake in the project with the remaining 24% going to Peabody.

While China is expected to buy much of the coal, the Mongolian government wants to develop a railway network to link the reserve to Russia, from where coal can be exported to Japan, South Korea and elsewhere.

In the first phase of this, Mongolia is building a 1,000-kilometer railway line from Tavan Tolgoi to Choibalsan in the country's northeast so that it connects with a cross-border line to Russia.

The original Korea-Japan-Russia consortium was made up of multiple Korean companies including state-run Kores, state utility Korea Electric Power Corp. (015760.SE), steel giant Posco (005490.SE), Daewoo International Corp. (047050.SE) and LG International Corp. (001120.SE).

On the Japanese side, the consortium included Itochu Corp. (ITOCY), Sumitomo Corp. (SSUMY), Marubeni Corp. (MARUY) and Sojitz Corp (2768.TO).

GeoPark sees production grow 10% in H1

BNamericas (English): 07 July 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

UK-listed GeoPark (AIM: GPK) saw production rates from its southern Chilean operations grow by over 10% in the first half to 8,000boe/d by the end of June, the company announced in an operations update.

Production averaged around 6,400boe/d in the period, of which around 1,600b/d came in the form of oil and the remainder gas.

So far this year the firm has spudded nine separate wells. Oil and gas production has been brought online from four of the wells in the Springhill and Tobifera formations on the Fell block.

Testing has begun or is ongoing at another three wells, while two more are in the process of being drilled.

The firm plans to drill between 26 and 30 wells this year primarily on the Fell block. Seismic surveys have been undertaken on the nearby Tranquilo and Otway licenses, with drilling work in the pipeline for later this year or early 2012.

GeoPark currently holds shares in three licenses in Chile and two more in neighboring Argentina. In May, the firm sold 10% of its Chilean interests to Korean conglomerate LG International in a deal worth US$70mn.

According to the operations update, the firm is in the process of identifying future expansion operations in other parts of Latin America in partnership with the Asian giant.

-- Mine owner's comments add to confusion on coal project

-- Lack of clarity on winners and procedures provokes South Korea's ire

-- Mongolia needs delicate balancing act between giant neighbors

-- Russia has railways trump cards

(Adds quote from Mongolian government source on negotiations in 10th-11th paragraphs)

By Gurdeep Singh

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

SINGAPORE -(Dow Jones)- Two days after the Mongolian government named winners of the contract to develop the huge Tavan Tolgoi coal project, the head of the state-run company whose subsidiary owns the project said negotiations are still on and a deal hasn't been finalized yet.

The comment from Erdenes further clouds an already murky situation, as the identities of companies in the winning Chinese and Russian consortia remain unclear. Some bidders are saying they have not been officially told of the outcome and the South Korean government has openly questioned the fairness of the selection process.

The development of one of the world's largest untapped coal deposits has been fraught with uncertainty from the start. The government initially planned an outright sale of part of the mines to developers, but later decided to keep the ownership and invite bids from prospective operators.

"We are still in negotiations. It's not yet finalized. Nothing is finalized," B. Enebish, executive director of Erdenes MGL LLC, the parent of Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi LLC, told Dow Jones Newswires by phone.

The Mongolian government said in a statement Monday that it had selected U.S., Chinese and Russian companies from a shortlist of six consortia to develop part of the Tavan Tolgoi coal reserve.

In the statement, it didn't mention Japanese or South Korean companies, which were among the six groups short-listed.

The winners named by the government are U.S. coal company Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU), China'sShenhua International Ltd. (SHU.AU) and a Russian-Mongolian group, the statement said.

The reaction from Seoul was strong, with the South Korean government issuing a blunt statement Tuesday describing the process as "not fair."

Mongolia's announcement, excluding companies from both Korea and Japan, was released "without any kind of consultation with the [Korean] consortium companies," it said.

A senior Mongolian government official familiar with the situation said the government was still talking to the three companies--Peabody, Shenhua Group, and the Russian company--to finalize the details as some them were leading consortia of Japanese and South Korean companies.

"Mongolia government is negotiating with only three parties. So the government doesn't really need to know who the other consortium partners are," the official said.

The mining rights for Tavan Tolgoi are hotly contested as it holds one of the world's largest untapped coal reserves, of 6.4 billion metric tons, and sits next to the world's largest coal consumer, China. The mines are located just 270 kilometers from the Chinese border, in the Gobi desert.

The Tsankhi deposits, the western half of which is being offered to developers, contain much of the highly prized 1.8 billion tons of coking coal reserves in the area--a key ingredient in making steel.

The landlocked country relies on its large neighbours--China and Russia--for much of its foreign trade and crucial imports., although it is keen to avoid falling under the influence of either.

While China is expected to buy much of the coal, the Mongolian government wants to develop a railway network to link the deposits to Russia, from where the coal can be exported to consumers in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere.

The closest major Russian port to the mines is more than 5,000 kilometers away, though, while China'sTianjin port is the nearest, at 1,570 kilometers.

Russia has two trump cards in the transportation issue--Russia Railways owns 50% of Ulaan Bator Railways, whose 1,815-kilometer network within Mongolia accounts for 60% of the total freight transport.

Also, Mongolian and Russian railway networks are easily connectible because they share a common broad-gauge design, different from China's narrow-gauge tracks.

Even so, a halt in supplies of diesel from Russia to Mongolia forced the country to suspend extensive parts of its rail services in June. Mongolia has no refineries and imports 90% of its oil products from Russia.

Although no official figures on investment costs have been released, analysts have estimated that investments to the tune of $7.3 billion would be required to develop Tavan's western block. The eastern block will be developed by the government itself, possibly funded through an initial public offering.

Brazil'sVale SA (VALE, VALE5.BR), as well as Xstrata PLC (XTA.LN), ArcelorMittal (MT, MT.AE) and a consortium involving Mitsui & Co. (MITSY, 8031.TO) were also short-listed to bid for the project.

A Korea-Japan-Russia consortium that also made the short list was made up of multiple Korean companies including state-run Korea Resources Corp. or Kores, state utility Korea Electric Power Corp. (015760.SE), steel giant Posco (005490.SE), Daewoo International Corp. (047050.SE) and LG International Corp. (001120.SE).

On the Japanese side, the consortium included Itochu Corp. (8001.TO), Sumitomo Corp. (8053.TO, SSUMY), Marubeni Corp. (8002.TO), Sojitz Corp (2768.TO). OAO Russian Railways was the Russian partner.

WSJ(7/6) Mongolia Taps US Miner

Nikkei English News: 05 July 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

(From THE WALL STREET JOURNAL)

By P.R. Venkat and Gurdeep Singh

SINGAPORE -- The Mongolian government selected a consortium of U.S., Chinese and Russian interests to develop one of the world's largest unexplored reserves of coking coal, reflecting the country's need to balance its political and economic interests.

The consortium, which includes U.S. coal company Peabody Energy Corp., China'sShenhua International Ltd. and an unidentified Russian-Mongolian group, will develop roughly half the Tavan Tolgoi coal deposits. The government plans to develop the rest with contract miners.

The consortium's makeup appeared designed to appease land-locked Mongolia's two immediate neighbors, Russia and China, while offering something to the U.S., which democratic Mongolia considers a political ally.

Peabody, the largest U.S. coal producer by output, will hold 24% of the consortium. Shenhua, China's largest coal producer by revenue, will have 40%. A Russian-led group that includes Mongolian interests will have the remaining 36%, the Mongolian government said Tuesday.

Peabody said it is working with the government to agree on definitive terms. The final agreement will be subject to approval by Mongolian regulators and lawmakers, the company said. Shenhua Group wasn't available for comment.

South Korea said Mongolia's bidding process was "not fair" and that Seoul will seek the details behind Mongolia's announcement.

State-run Korea Resources Corp., state utility Korea Electric Power Corp., steelmaker Posco, trading companies Daewoo International Corp. and LG International Corp. were part of a bidding consortium that included a number of Japanese companies. Other bidders included miners Vale SA of Brazil and Xstrata PLC of Switzerland, Luxembourg-based steelmaker ArcelorMittal and Japanese trading company Mitsui & Co.

In addition to producing coking coal, which is used in making steel, the Tavan Tolgoi project is expected to extract gasoline from coal, the Mongolian government said.

Tavan Tolgoi holds an estimated reserve of 6.4 billion metric tons of coal that includes large amounts of coking coal. The site is the world's second-largest coal deposit, after the Shengli field in China, according to Raw Materials Group.

By allowing strategic investors to develop the western Tsankhi area of Tavan Tolgoi, Mongolia can reduce the amount of upfront money it needs for the project, a major consideration, given the country's limited financial resources. Although no official figures on investment costs have been released, analysts have estimated that developing Tavan Tolgoi's western block will require about $7.3 billion.

SINGAPORE -(Dow Jones)- The Mongolian government has selected a consortium comprising U.S. company Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU), China'sShenhua International Ltd. (SHU.AU), as well as a Russian grouping to develop the Tavan Tolgoi coal mine, one of the world's largest unexplored coking coal reserves.

The allocation of the hotly contested development rights to Shenhua, Peabody and the Russian grouping allows land-locked Mongolia to balance its interests and internationalize the project, while also appeasing immediate neighbors China and Russia, both big markets.

By bringing in investors to help develop the mine, the government would reduce the amount of money it needs to fork out upfront, a major consideration given Mongolia's limited financial resources.

Peabody, the largest U.S. coal producer by output, will hold a 24% share in the consortium, while Shenhua, China's largest coal producer by revenue, will have 40%. The Russian-led group will have the remaining 36%, with the Russian parties holding 18% and the Mongolian side the other 18%, according to a government statement.

Peabody confirmed that it has been selected by the government of Mongolia to be part of a global energy consortium to develop the Tavan Tolgoi coking coal reserve in the South Gobi region.

"Peabody continues to work with the government and other parties to reach agreement on definitive terms and conditions," the U.S. company said in a statement. "Agreements would then be submitted for consideration and approval by government agencies and Parliament."

Shenhua Group wasn't immediately available for comment.

The Tavan Tolgoi project involves mining coking coal as well as taking out gasoline from coal, the Mongolian government statement said.

The massive Tavan Tolgoi project has an estimated 6.4 billion metric tons of coal reserves, including large quantities of coking coal, an essential ingredient in steel making. It is the world's second-largest coal deposit, after the Shengli field in China, according to data provider Raw Materials Group.

The Mongolian government is giving strategic investors a chance to develop roughly half the deposit, in the western Tsankhi area of Tavan.

Although, no official figures on investment costs have been released, analysts have estimated that investments to the tune of $7.3 billion would be required to develop Tavan's western block. The eastern block will be developed by the government itself, possibly funded through an initial public offering.

The race to secure rights to operate the resource-rich Tavan Tolgoi underscores the rapid industrialization of Asia, especially China and India, which has prompted mining companies and other investors to seek coking coal supplies.

Brazil'sVale SA (VALE, VALE5.BR), as well as Xstrata PLC (XTA.LN), ArcelorMittal (MT, MT.AE) and a consortium involving Mitsui & Co. (MITSY, 8031.TO) were also short-listed to bid for the project.

A Korea-Japan-Russia consortium that also made the short list was made up of multiple Korean companies including state-run Korea Resources Corp. or Kores, state utility Korea Electric Power Corp. (015760.SE), steel giant Posco (005490.SE), Daewoo International Corp. (047050.SE) and LG International Corp. (001120.SE). On the Japanese side, the consortium included Itochu Corp. (8001.TO), Sumitomo Corp. (8053.TO, SSUMY), Marubeni Corp. (8002.TO), Sojitz Corp (2768.TO). OAO Russian Railways was the Russian partner.

Kores, Posco and LG International said they have yet to receive official notice that their bids have been rejected. Kepco and Daewoo International couldn't immediately be reached.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the Russian grouping picked to develop Tavan Tolgoi included any of the Korean or Japanese companies.

In response to the Mongolia government's statement, the South Korean government said Mongolia's bidding process was "not fair," and that it will seek the details and background behind Mongolia's announcement.

Mongolia had requested the six bidding teams in April, to create a "grand consortium," the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, also known as the commerce ministry, said in a statement late Tuesday.

Following Mongolia's request, the teams were working towards creating such a consortium, but Mongolia's announcement, excluding companies from both Korea and Japan, was released "without any kind of consultation with the (Korean) consortium companies," the statement said.

Mongolia is planning to build a 1,000-kilometer railroad from its vast, untapped Tavan Tolgoi coal deposit to Choibalsan in the country's east to connect it with Russia. That's despite Tavan Tolgoi, which contains over 6 billion tons of coal, being much closer to the Chinese border.

The statement from the Mongolian government said that Shenhua, Peabody and the Russian consortium picked have agreed to make a payment of $500 million in the first phase of the project, and another $500 million later.

Last month, Mongolian Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold said the government will retain the ownership of the project and that his government was keen to create infrastructure to link the project to Russia and China.

People familiar with the situation have said that the Mongolian government had already started work on the development of railway links to the project in a bid to tap export markets other than China.

Uzbekistan - UNG/South Korean Chemical JVs

                                                                                                                                                                                          

APS Review Downstream Trends18 October 2010                                                                                                             

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

UNG and a consortium of South Korean companies led by Kogas on Feb. 11, 2010 signed an investment agreement on construction of the Ustyurt Gas Chemical Complex on the gas field Surgil. The document was signed during the state visit to Seoul by Uzbek President Islam Karimov on Feb. 10-12, 2010.

In February 2008, UNG and a Korean consortium consisting of Kogas, Lotte Daesan Petrochemical Corp, LG International Corp, SK Gas and STX Energy created a JV on a parity basis - UzKorGasChemical - to realise the construction project of the Ustyurt Gas Chemical Complex. In accordance with the schedule, the launch of the first stage of the complex is scheduled for November 2011.

The complex should by late 2012 reach the design capacity to produce 125,000 t/yof polyethylene, about 137 t/y of LPG, 130,000 t/y of light condensate, 4.2 BCM/y of marketable gas and 4,000 t/y of sulphur.

Work on the Surgil gas field began in 2008. It is currently being developed by UNG. Its reserves amount to about 120 BCM natural gas. Surgil gas contains 4.8% of ethane and other valuable chemical components.

On Feb. 11, 2010, UNG and a consortium of Korea Gas Corp (Kogas), Lotte Daesan Petrochemical Corp., LG International Corp, SK Gas and STX Energy established a JV on a parity basis called UzKorGasChemical. This is an integrated venture to further develop the Surgil gas/condensate field, which has been on stream on a limited scale since 2008, and to have the Ustyurt Gas Chemical Complex built on the field.

The agreement was signed during the state visit of Uzbek President Karimov to Seoul on Feb. 10-12, 2010. In February 2008, UNG and a Korean consortium led by Kogas, had agreed to have the Ustyurt Gas Chemical Complex built for the processing of Surgil's output.

In accordance with the schedule agreed on Feb. 11, the launch of the first stage of the complex is scheduled for November 2011. The complex must reach the design capacity by late 2012. The complex is designed to produce 125,000 t/y of polyethylene, about 137 t/y of LPG, 130,000 t/y of light condensate, 4.2 BCM/y of marketable gas and 4,000 t/y of sulphur.

Developed by UNG, Surgil began test production in late 2007. Its recoverable reserves of natural gas have been estimated at about 120 BCM. The Surgil gas has a fairly large number of valuable components, in particular 4.8% of ethane.




Joon Takes Charge as New CEO of LG

                                                                                                                                                                                          

India Business Journal 01 October 2010                                                                                                                            

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

LG Electronics, the world's third-largest, mobile-phone manufacturer, has replaced its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nam Yong with Koo Bon Joon. The move follows a record loss at the flagship handset business. Mr Joon, the younger brother of LG Chairman Koo Bon Moo, was until recently the CEO of trading company LG International.

LG Replaces CEO, Possibly for Poor Phone Performance

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

LG Electronics asked chief executive Yong Nam to step down on Friday, reportedly due to the company's poor performance in mobile phones.

Yong Nam was asked to resign immediately, although the move wasn't immediately noted on LG's Web site. LG officials in the U.S. confirmed the move, however.

Nam will be replaced by Bon-joon Koo, the head of trading firm LG International, Reuters said. Koo, 59, has held senior management positions at LG Electronics, LG Chem, LG Semiconductor, LG Display and at LG International, where he served as vice chairman and chief executive, the company said.

Koo was responsible for establishing LG Philips LCD, which eventually became LG Display, together with a $1.6 billion investment from Phillips. Koo also led the company to becoming one of the largest TFT-LCD manufacturers, LG said.

LG didn't state why Nam was replaced, although Reuters and analysts speculated that phones played a part.

LG ranks second in the U.S. in terms of overall OEMs for the three-month period ending in July, according to comScore, which measures the subscriber base. Samsung ranks first. Worldwide, LG ranks third, according to IDC.

LG shipped 30.6 million phones during the third quarter, good for a 9.6 percent share in the market, according to IDC. While that represents a 2.7 percent increase in unit sales, LG's market share slipped from 10.8 percent a year ago, IDC said, and farther behind second-ranked Samsung, which has seen its share increase from 18.9 to 20.1 percent in a year's time.

The shift means that LG is now the second major CE manufacturer whose management structure was roiled by poor phone performance. Last week Nokia revamped its management structure, asking chief executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo to step down, and Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's head of its mobile unit, said he would leave the company in six months to focus on other opportunities.

Like the Nokia turnover, analysts also said that they expect LG to lose its own head of its mobile-phone business, incluidng Skott Ahn and other top executives, KB Investment & Securities analyst Harrison Cho told Reuters.

 

United States : Augusta inks US$176 million funding agreement with Korean consortium

 [What follows is the full text of the article.]

Augusta Resource Corp. became the latest western Canadian company to sign a major investment agreement with resource-hungry South Korea.

The Vancouver-based company said Thursday that the deal is worth US$176 million, and allows a Korean consortium to earn a 20% joint venture interest in the Rosemont copper-molybdenum project in Pima County, Arizona. The consortium includes state-owned Korea Resources Corp. and industrial trader LG International Corp.

The deal comes on the heels of a June investment that Korea Resources and LG made in Vancouver s Lithium One Inc. to develop its Sal de Vida lithium project in Argentina.

That deal followed news in March that Korea Gas Corp., South Korea s state-owned natural gas company, plans to invest $1.1 billion over the next five years to develop natural gas projects in northeast B.C.

For Augusta, the deal means the company has secured approximately 50% of the US$900 million it needs to build Rosemont, which is expected to be the third largest copper mine in the U.S. if built.

We are well advanced in discussions with project finance lenders for the balance of the funding, said Augusta president and CEO Gil Clausen. The steps taken today have substantially de-risked the project and will enable timely project construction upon receipt of final permits.

In February, Augusta signed a US$230 million deal with another Vancouver-based company, Silver Wheaton Corp., that will also help fund Rosemont.

The company still has environmental permitting hurdles to clear before the project can be built, but construction could begin in 2012.

At press time, the company s shares were up 12.89% to $3.59 on midday trades.
