MONGOLIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Mongolia's extensive mineral deposits and attendant growth in mining-sector activities have transformed Mongolia's economy, which traditionally has been dependent on herding and agriculture. Mongolia's copper, gold, coal, molybdenum, fluorspar, uranium, tin, and tungsten deposits, among others, have attracted foreign direct investment. Soviet assistance, at its height one-third of GDP, disappeared almost overnight in 1990 and 1991 at the time of the dismantlement of the USSR. The following decade saw Mongolia endure both deep recession, because of political inaction and natural disasters, as well as economic growth, because of reform-embracing, free-market economics and extensive privatization of the formerly state-run economy. The country opened a fledgling stock exchange in 1991. Mongolia joined the World Trade Organization in 1997 and seeks to expand its participation in regional economic and trade regimes. Growth averaged nearly 9% per year in 2004-08 largely because of high copper prices globally and new gold production. By late 2008, Mongolia was hit hard by the global financial crisis. Slower global economic growth hurt the country's exports, notably copper, and slashed government revenues. As a result, Mongolia's real economy contracted 1.3% in 2009. In early 2009, the International Monetary Fund reached a $236 million Stand-by Arrangement with Mongolia and the country has largely emerged from the crisis with better regulations and closer supervision. The banking sector strengthened but weaknesses remain. In October 2009, Mongolia passed long-awaited legislation on an investment agreement to develop the Oyu Tolgoi mine, considered to be among the world's largest untapped copper-gold deposits. Mongolia's ongoing dispute with a foreign investor over Oyu Tolgoi, however, has called into question the attractiveness of Mongolia as a destination for foreign direct investment. Negotiations to develop the massive Tavan Tolgoi coal field also have stalled. The economy has grown more than 10% per year since 2010, largely on the strength of commodity exports to nearby countries and high government spending domestically. Mongolia's economy, however, faces near-term economic risks from the government's loose fiscal and monetary policies, which are contributing to high inflation, and from uncertainties in foreign demand for Mongolian exports. Trade with China represents more than half of Mongolia's total external trade - China receives more than 90% of Mongolia's exports and is Mongolia's largest supplier. Mongolia has relied on Russia for energy supplies, leaving it vulnerable to price increases; in the first 11 months of 2013, Mongolia purchased 76% of its gasoline and diesel fuel and a substantial amount of electric power from Russia. A drop in foreign direct investment and a decrease in Chinese demand for Mongolia's mineral exports are putting pressure on Mongolia's balance of payments. Remittances from Mongolians working abroad, particularly in South Korea, are significant.

Business Review :

UHG Deposit

Mining License MV-11952 (“UHG mining license”) covers the UHG deposit with an area of 2,960 hectares. In the period of 2009 to 2012, the Group’s geological team conducted extensive exploration activities within this license area, during which time approximately 166,385 metres of drilling was conducted. From the 1,435 boreholes drilled and geophysical logged, analytical laboratory test work was performed on a total of 32,556 samples collected.

 

Also during this period, the Group collaborated with Velseis Processing Pty Ltd to interpret data collected from 71 kilometres (“km”) of high resolution 2D seismic in-field measurements, collected by Polaris Seismic International. This was used to identify continuity and structure of coal seams, as well as to obtain valuable information on the potential of the deposit’s underground Resource. Large-diameter, bulk-sample drilling was also completed, with analysis of these samples collected conducted in the Ulaanbaatar laboratories owned and operated by ALS Group.

 

The data from these exploration activities was used to update the geological and coal quality model, and subsequently the UHG mining license JORC Coal Resource estimate as at 30 June 2012, based on an in situ density at an air-dry basis.

 

Independent peer audit of this model was conducted by Mr. Todd Sercombe from GasCoal Pty Ltd, which confirmed compliance of the Group’s work carried out to update the UHG geological model, thus JORC Coal Resource estimates for the UHG mining license area.

 

Minimal exploration related activities continued in 2013, with the scope reduced in line with the Group’s focus on cost reduction. Drilling contractor costs were agreed to be deferred until second half of 2014, improving liquidity in 2013, and work completed was tailored to minimum required to ensure sufficient detailed understanding of coal measures ahead of the high wall advance. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2013, thirteen boreholes were drilled totalling 3,525 metres of drilling. From this work, 500 samples were analysed at the Group’s onsite laboratory. Modelling and interrogation of data collected thus far has yet to commence.

 

Due to the review process of the Australian Guidelines for Estimating and Reporting of Inventory Coal, Coal Resources and Coal Reserves in relation to the JORC (2012) standard has not yet been completed, the Group is waiting to commit to timing with regard to further Resource update pending finalized requirements. With no further exploration data available, no material change is applicable to the previously reported JORC Resource. For reference, since 30 June 2012 a total of 14 Mt as measured by official mine survey as at 31 December 2013 has been mined. This represents depletion from the stated Resource.

 

BN Deposit

The Group’s geological team last completed exploration work at BN in 2011 to 2012 under Exploration License 4326X covering the Tsaihkar Khudag (“THG”) area. A total of 9,963 metres of drilling was carried out during this period, with 32 boreholes completed and geophysical logged. Analytical laboratory test work was also performed on a total of 2,307 coal samples collected.

 

Consequently, application was submitted to the Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia and Mining License MV-017336 (“THG mining license”) of 8,340 hectares area was granted to the Group on 24 June 2013. This was in addition to the pre-existing mining license 14493A (“BN mining license”) with 4,482 hectares area, both covering the Baruun Naran coking coal deposit area (“BN Deposit”), located in Khankhongor soum (county) of Umnugobi aimag (province).

 

McElroy Bryan Geological Services Pty Ltd most recently provided a JORC Resources statement for the BN mining license area as at 30 June 2012. This was estimated to contain 282 Mt of JORC Measured, Indicated and Inferred Coal Resources, based on an in situ density including assumed 6% total moisture content.

 

McElroy Bryan Geological Services Pty Ltd most recently provided a JORC Resource statement for the THG Mining License area as at 30 April 2013. This was estimated to contain 55 Mt of Inferred Coal Resource, based on an in situ density including assumed 6% total moisture content.

 

During 2013, the Group conducted no further exploration within the BN or THG mining license areas. On-going desktop reviews are in progress, with the Group awaiting finalization of the Australian Guidelines for Estimating and Reporting of Inventory Coal, Coal Resources and Coal Reserves in relation to the JORC (2012) standard before committing to further Resource estimate revision.

 

Since 30 June 2012, as part of the Group’s strategic response to the coal market situation, there has been minimization of mining activity within the BN mining license area with priorities focused on UHG. This is also aligned with guidance resulting from the integrated mining and processing schedule developed to maximize synergistic value achievable from BN and UHG mines. As such, no material change to previously reported BN Resource was considered.

 

Since 30 April 2013, with no mining conducted within the THG mining license, no material change to previously reported THG Resource was considered.

 

Open-cut Coal Reserves

In 2013, RPM updated the Group’s long-term mining schedules at UHG and BN, preparing an integrated LOM study underpinning update of JORC Coal Reserve estimations at both of the UHG and BN deposits which were stated as of 31 December 2012.

 

Coal Reserve estimation was based on open cut, multi seam, truck and excavator mining methods as currently used at both UHG and BN mines, with both ex-pit and in-pit dumping of waste considered. Categorization of coal seam propensity for coking and thermal product was guided by Mr. John Trygstad from Norwest Corporation (“Norwest”) within the integrated LOM study.

 

Industry standard whittle pit optimization software was used to generate a series of nested pit shells corresponding to varying revenue factors, simulating a range of coal selling prices. These three dimensional approaches provided a series of pit shells reflecting incrementally different economic scenarios as impacted by changes such as depth limitation, mining cost or coal price variance.

 

Practical pit designs including ramp accesses to coal were then created within the selected optimized pit shells, representative of the stated revenue assumptions with the study. The pit optimization algorithms used were limited to a vertical depth of 300 metres at UHG and 350 metres at BN, based upon current geotechnical knowledge regarding slope stability criteria of each deposit.

 

Through application of estimated mining and metallurgical factors, mineable in situ coal within the pit shell was converted to ROM and product coal quantities. From this, mine schedules were able to be sequenced effectively to maximize value derived from open-pit mining operations.

 

Combined, the total ROM Coal Reserve under the Group’s control increased from 460 Mt as at 31 December 2011 to 480 Mt as at 31 December 2012, an increase of 20 Mt, excluding the depletion of 9.4 Mt Reserve as a result of mining activity at UHG and BN mines in 2012.

 

Within the total combined ROM Coal Reserve quantity, the coking coal component increased by 63 Mt, including allowance for mining depletion during 2012, with the thermal coal Reserve component decreasing correspondingly by 33 Mt.

 

The open-cut ROM Coal Reserve for the UHG coal deposit was estimated as at 31 December 2012, based on an as-received basis with 5% total moisture.

 

The UHG ROM Coal Reserve was previously reported by Norwest to contain an estimated 275 Mt as at 31 December 2011. The Reserve reported by RPM was estimated to contain 315 Mt as at 31 December 2012. Compared to previously reported Reserve figures, including 9 Mt attributable to coal mining depletion during the period between 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012, an additional 49 Mt from Coal Resource identified on 30 June 2012 Resource estimate was also determined as economically mineable via open-pit methods.

 

With no further exploration data available, nor further update of LOM plan considered, no material change is applicable to the previously reported JORC Reserve. For reference, since 31 December 2012 a total of 9 Mt as measured by official mine survey as at 31 December 2013 has been mined. This represents depletion from the stated ROM Reserve.

 

The open-cut ROM Coal Reserve for the BN coal deposit was estimated as at 31 December 2012, based on an as-received basis with 6% total moisture.

 

Under previous ownership, BN ROM Coal Reserve was previously reported by SRK Consulting (“SRK”) totalling 185 Mt as at 31 March 2011. As an outcome of independent technical studies, conducted during the transition of ownership, it was confirmed that the final total Reserve was approximately 189 Mt applying the same Reserve calculation parameters, as it was defined and stipulated in the relevant share purchase agreement.

 

After acquisition in June 2011, the Group has begun to conduct its own studies and analyses for the future development of the BN mine in synergy with the UHG mining schedule. As such, the Group guided RPM to re-estimate the BN ROM Coal Reserve using modified Reserve calculation parameters, including mine design, scheduling and cost estimation parameters based on the Group’s actual operating experience. As part of this re-estimation, the BN coal quality was reviewed on the basis of integrating BN and UHG coal mining, blending and processing operations.

 

The Coal Reserve estimate reported by RPM totalling 165 Mt as at 31 December 2012 does not include any coal from the THG mining license area, due to it containing inferred category of Coal Resource only. With approximately 1 Mt attributable to the coal mining depletion during the period between 31 March 2011 and 31 December 2012, the difference between the SRK and RPM estimations is an overall decrease of 19 Mt of BN ROM Coal Reserve. This is as result of changes to Reserve calculation parameters. However, using this integrated mining, blending and processing approach, the estimated coking coal component of the Reserve at BN has increased by 19 Mt, whilst quantity of the thermal coal has decreased. The proportion of a coking coal within the total BN ROM Coal Reserve has increased to 85%.

 

Based upon mine survey measurement, production activity in 2013 has depleted the BN ROM Coal Reserve by less than 1 Mt, and is considered to impart no material change.

 

Importantly, the integrated LOM mining study RPM was developed inclusive of complementary coal mining, blending and processing schedules for UHG and BN mines. It demonstrated potential to conduct sustainable operations with up to 15.8 Mtpa combined ROM coking coal output, for a period between 2013 and 2040. The thermal coal production volumes from UHG and BN mines were scheduled in this study to ramp up in 2016, in anticipation of completion of construction of the UHG-GS Railway project.

 

Production and Transportation

Coal Mining

Total ROM coal production achieved by the Group in 2013 amounted to 9.7 Mt, up by 2.7% on 2012 performance. Access to this coal required movement of 53.9 million bank cubic metres (“Mbcm”) of overburden, at a stripping ratio of 5.6 bank cubic metres (“bcm”) per ROM tonne. On the basis of total material movement, production output from the Group’s mining activities exceeded 60 Mbcm for the first time, reaching 60.4 Mbcm.

 

Compared to 2011 and 2012 production, there was less fluctuation between the first and second half stripping ratios. Annual stripping ratio remained steady in comparison to 2012, despite increasing depth of mining. Second half stripping ratio was again lower, as a result of concentrated drawdown of ROM stockpile inventories in the first half requiring less coal mining to meet CHPP feed requirements.

 

The Group has focused on improving efficiency, minimizing cash costs and reducing operational cash outflows throughout 2013, with site based operational activities streamlined to support these strategies. In the first half of 2013, mining operations at UHG and BN mines were integrated under unified management, specifically with regard to mining, maintenance and technical services. Functional support services were also integrated as part of the Group wide consolidation measures.

 

Unification allowed for controlled reduction of output from BN mine in the first half of 2013 without affecting CHPP feed requirements, via redeployment of personnel and equipment from BN to UHG. The overall benefit of this approach was reduced cost through off-hiring of rental equipment previously in use, and delay to recruitment and training of additional workforce in support of on-going fleet expansion at UHG.

 

Whilst production output from BN mine resumed in the second half of 2013, focus on reducing cash cost and cash outflow did not abate. Measures were taken at both BN and UHG to ensure that equipment was as productive as possible, allowing reduced equipment deployment to achieve planned output with subsequent cost reductions achieved. Major initiatives to reduce mining costs included increased utilization of ROM stocks, delay of waste stripping, and shortening of waste haulage distances as possible. The last of these measures has capitalized on some creative engineering, which will not impact in later stages of mine development, with short haul waste dump areas exploited in locations not previously considered.

 

Continued effort to refine mining and blasting services contractor key performance indicator (“KPI”) metrics, to ensure alignment of values with delivery of coal chain efficiency, has delivered evident and sustained improvement. Mining contractor KPIs were updated from the third quarter of 2013, and agreements with blasting services contractors were renewed in the fourth quarter of 2013. Many of these revised KPIs were implemented to target cost reductions, with main initiatives targeting increased mining truck tyre life and cheaper blend of explosives used, whilst several were clearly aimed at reducing costs through improved efficiencies such as indexed excavator and drill productivities and targeted reductions in ROM coal re-handle.

 

Coal Processing

During 2013, the Group processed a total of 10.7 Mt of ROM coal, including 0.1 Mt of feed under contract washing arrangement for third parties. This was achieved utilizing only two of the now three available CHPP modules, and represented an increase of 44.5% year-on-year.

 

The Group’s total washed product derived from this feed included 5.3 Mt of coking coal, up 36.1% year-on-year, and 2.3 Mt of thermal coal, up 39.6% year-on-year.

 

Encouragingly, CHPP production exceeded nameplate capacity of 5 Mt per Module per annum, despite some interruptions to operation posed by Module 3 commissioning requirement for integration into the combined materials handling system. Eclipsing of nameplate capacity was primarily due to improved CHPP availability, a notable achievement within context of tightened budget and that effective from 1 January 2013, the Operational Management Contract with Sedgman was ended.

 

In the first half of 2013, as part of the Group’s efforts to reduce operational cash outflows and maintain suitable liquidity, ROM coal mining volumes were adjusted down on the basis of scheduling more CHPP feed from existing stockpile inventories. Whilst some impact on yield resulted (as expected, due to increased feed proportion of lower grade coals), overall the approach enabled reduction in cash outflow and unit cash cost during the period as was the focus of the Group.

 

As forecast and communicated previously, primary yield in the first half of 2013 was reduced (46.1%), but rebounded strongly in the second half of 2013 (53.9%), resulting in an overall primary yield in 2013 of 50.1%. The higher yield experienced in the second half of 2013 is expected to be maintained now that ROM stockpile inventories of lower grade coals have been largely depleted. Secondary yield performance results were converse, with higher (25.4%) recorded in the first half of 2013 compared to lower (18.0%) in the first half of 2013 for overall 2013 secondary yield of 21.6%.

 

Construction milestones were reached in relation to CHPP development in 2013, with state commissioning completed for both the third processing module and BFP fine tailings dewatering plant projects. Installed nameplate capacity for the UHG CHPP is now 15.0 Mt ROM coal feed per annum, based upon 850 tonnes of ROM coal per hour and 6,000 operating hours per calendar year. Sufficient processing capacity is now installed as planned for intended and communicated LOM coking coal production rates, with no further major capital works related to CHPP planned.

 

The newly commissioned BFP will serve to reduce the Group’s dependence upon raw ground water extraction, reducing both environmental footprint and the cost of operation. With expected recycling of greater than 60.0% of water utilized within the fines processing circuits, this facility will double the rate of water recovery compared to the existing, traditional system of tailing dam reclamation, through avoidance of water evaporation. Operation of the BFP commenced in December 2013 with ramp up to full capacity and fine tuning expected to progress in the first half of 2014.

 

Transportation and Logistics

Coal Transportation

During 2013, the Group continuously focused on maximizing utilization of its transport and logistics assets consisting of 272 km of paved road connecting the Group’s mines to the border of Mongolia, 300 double-trailer heavy haul trucks as well as coal storage and handling facilities at mine gates and border of Mongolia that are all under the Group’s full control and ownership.

 

Together, the Group maintained full capacity to handle and transport about 12 Mtpa of coal, which was sufficient to move and handle coal products from UHG and BN mines to the GM border port in China, via its coal handling, custom bonded stockpile facility at Tsagaan Khad (“TKH”) on the Mongolian side of the border.

 

As a result, the Group’s owned fleet has transported a total of 6.8 Mt of coal on its main long-haul section between UHG and TKH, representing an increase of 65.9% compared to 4.1 Mt transported on the same route in 2012 by owned fleet.

 

In achieving this level of production on the long-haul section, the Group was able to take complete control over the domestic movement of coal with its own trucks, eliminating dependency on third party contractors on this transportation section. Doing so required improvement in operational efficiency of owned fleet and has consequently resulted in a significant reduction of unit cost performance. Unit cost of transport per tonne in this sector decreased to a record low USD8.1 per tonne, down by USD3.8 per tonne compared to the results of USD11.9 per tonne in 2012, an improvement of 31.9% year-on-year. The increased operational efficiency is demonstrable in roundtrip performance on the long-haul section, where round trips per truck per month have increased from an average of 12 in 2012 to 20 in 2013, an improvement of 66.7%.

 

Third party contractors continued to be utilized by the Group in 2013 for cross-border transportation between TKH and GM. Sufficient capacity and control on coal movement across the border between Mongolia and China was maintained to allow export transportation of approximately 5.8 Mt on this short-haul section in 2013.

 

The Group has continued to support its heavy haul truck fleet which maintained an average of 85.0% availability in the period reported, largely as a result of facilities available at its dedicated 4,300 square metre truck maintenance and repair workshop at UHG, and auxiliary service truck facility at TKH completed in 2013.

 

The 240 km paved road between UHG and the GS border crossing in Mongolia (the “UHG-GS Road”), has been relied upon by the Group as primary support infrastructure, enabling delivery of products. With this infrastructure in place, the Group has been able to achieve large improvements in transportation reliability and efficiency, whilst third party coal and other freight movement on the UHG-GS Road has been allowed via toll fee arrangement. The 32 km paved road between BN and UHG mines has proven effective in maintaining capacity to support interconnected operation of the BN and UHG mines, with the road allowing efficient transport of coal from the BN mine to coal processing facilities at UHG.

 

In addition to the expansion at the GS border checkpoint on the Mongolian side, (co-funded jointly by the Group and Erdenes MGL in 2012), the Group has seen infrastructure improvement at the GM border checkpoint on the Chinese side in 2013. Improvement consisted of expansion of the truck “wait-and-clear road” in direction of exit from GM toward Mongolia, as well as commissioning of an extra five toll gate lanes, doubling capacity in operation to ten lanes for truck in-and-out crossing. This improvement is expected to increase border-crossing capacity at GS-GM to an estimated 25-30 Mtpa, sufficient to eliminate potential bottleneck on both sides of the border crossing, supportive of the Group’s operational objectives.

 

UHG-GS Railway

Resolution No. 121 of the GoM dated 3 November 2013, ordered consolidation of various railway projects in Mongolia into a unified railway project (the “Project”), to be managed and implemented under government authority. In relation to this, the Group negotiated with the GoM, represented by the MRT, the State Property Committee and MTZ, on measures to be taken regarding implementation. Conditions of settlement were outlined in the Agreement, executed and signed on 6 May 2013.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parties agreed upon terms and conditions according to which the Concession Agreement, entered by and between the GoM and the Group on 31 May 2012, was terminated. The major terms under the Agreement are as follows:

 

• Compensation for all costs incurred by the Group in relation to the construction of the UHGGS Railway confirmed and agreed MNT83,734,932,315, or approximately USD50.6 million at balance sheet date exchange rate as at 31 December 2013;

 

• Parties will enter into negotiation regarding potential investment in the Project. Depending on the outcome of the negotiation, the above compensation amount could be converted into equity of a special purpose enterprise to be established by the GoM to implement the Project and/or in cash;

 

• The Group will be granted access to 50% of the capacity of the UHG-GS Railway; and

 

• Existing contracts and obligations for the construction of the UHG-GS Railway will be reassigned to MTZ and/or its designated entity.

 

Following execution of the Agreement, the Group commenced discussion with the GoM regarding potential investment into the Project in which the Group has an option to convert its compensation amount into equity of the special purpose enterprise where the GoM invites potential international and domestic investors. In the meantime, related project documents and contracts along with some project personnel have been transferred to the GoM and its contractors from the Group.

 

Cross Border Railway (GS-GM)

On 16 August 2013, the GoM adopted Resolution No. 299 regarding necessary actions to be taken to support coal export of Mongolia. As part of the support, the GoM decided to build narrow gauge (1,435 mm) cross border railway at connecting the ports of GS in Umnugobi province and GM port in China (“Cross border railway”), with target completion by end of 2014. Subsequently, on 25 October 2013 the Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding with fellow coal mining companies in the Tavantolgoi region, including Erdenes Tavantolgoi and Tavantolgoi companies, as well as Shenhua Group Corporation of China, to jointly develop the Cross border railway as a Consortium of Mongolia-China coal companies. During an official visit by the Prime Minister of Mongolia to China on 25 October 2013, the Consortium signed a subsequent Memorandum of Understanding with MTZ to develop the Cross border railway.

 

As of 31 December 2013, the Group has been in process of discussions with Mongolian and Chinese counterparts in combined effort to implement the Cross border railway, and has been in negotiation regarding potential involvement in development of the project. Successful construction and completion of this project should bring significant benefits to the Group, principally improvement in efficiency and reduction in cost of short-haul cross border coal transportation between TKH and GM. This, in conjunction with immediate loading into rail wagons, will increase the cost competitiveness of Mongolian sourced coal in the Chinese market and increase the capability for geographical market penetration of the Group’s products in China. Increased customer base will allow for improved strength in pricing negotiation and general market ability to absorb increased production.

 

UHG-GS Paved Road

On 16 August 2013, the GoM adopted Resolution No. 299 regarding necessary actions to be taken to support coal export of Mongolia. As part of the support, the GoM decided to take over under state ownership the existing UHG-GS Road along with the border crossing facilities at GS. This decision was implemented under guidance from the Ministry of Economic Development where Erdenes MGL was appointed to exercise state ownership with compensation payable to the Group.

 

The UHG-GS Road was solely funded and constructed in 2011 by the Group under Build-Operate- Transfer (“BOT”) concession rights for a period of 10 years. In order to implement this decision to take over the paved road and transfer into state ownership prior to expiry of BOT term, the GoM appointed a working group consisting of representatives of relevant ministries, including Ministry of Economic Development, Ministry of Finance, MRT and Erdenes MGL, who worked through August to November 2013 determining the amount of the compensation payable.

 

Based on findings of the working group, the Group negotiated and agreed with GoM on the compensation amount and signed the Agreement to transfer road assets with Erdenes MGL on 8 December 2013. As agreed with the parties, the Agreement to transfer road assets was to become effective on the date of actual payment settlement, which was received on 13 February 2014, with all subsequent legal documents executed. The Group received net consideration of MNT157,847,184,615 as compensation, equal to approximately USD90.3 million as of the date of receipt of payment.

 

The Group, together with prospective users of the paved road including Erdenes Tavantolgoi and Tavantolgoi companies, agreed and signed a subsequent Paved Road Operations and Maintenance Agreement (“O&M Agreement”) with Erdenes MGL on 8 December 2013. Under the O&M Agreement, the Group will continue to be jointly involved in the operations and maintenance of the paved road via involvement in a special purpose joint venture company, to be appointed and managed jointly by the mining companies using the road, whom are ultimately responsible for the operation and maintenance of the road.

 

Transfer of the paved road to state ownership is expected to increase efficiency of road utilization, as common infrastructure will effectively be shared among mining companies, while decreasing unit cost of coal transportation between UHG and Tavantolgoi coal mines to the GS border port. The Group maintains unrestricted access to use the road capacity on non-discriminatory, equal treatment basis.

 

Marketing and Sales

In 2013, the Group continued to follow its main objective to produce and sell washed coking and thermal coal products under its own brand name, further strengthening its position as a reliable supplier of high quality coking coal products and expanding its end-user customer base in the target market region, within China. The Chinese market remains the Group’s primary destination for its coking and thermal coal products, where the Group faced strong competition under continued price pressure throughout the reporting period among global coking coal exporters to China. Successfully, the Group established itself as the leading exporter of washed coking and thermal coal from Mongolia, leveraging on its competitive advantage of integrated coal production, processing, transport and marketing platform, and accounted for 31.5% of total coal export from Mongolia.

 

Further improvement in cost and efficiency in 2013 enabled the Group to continue to improve its competitive position in its principal market against global suppliers, and thus helped the Group to maintain its market and brand name as a long term sustainable and reliable supplier.

 

Throughout 2013, the Group witnessed continued pressure in global coking coal price. The ASP for the Group’s washed coking coal decreased 15.0% from USD108.4 to USD92.1 per tonne DAP at GM. However, the Group was able to keep relatively slower pace in such downward trend compared to the sharp decline in price of 22.4% observed for equal quality coking coal in Tangshan area, a major steel producing region of China. Besides continued pressure on price, increased supply at seaborne market drove some Chinese coking coal consumers located in coastal areas to buy more seaborne coal in preference to other sources. Such a situation focused the Group to divert major supply from Hebei, Tangshan market to more inland markets towards the second half of the year where prices were less volatile than coastal areas.

 

Despite the challenging market condition, the Group was able to increase sales volume of its primary product, washed HCC, to 4.3 Mt representing about 26.5% year-on-year growth, while keeping total volume of coal sales at 5.7 Mt in 2013, including 1.3 Mt of washed thermal coal.

 

During 24 and 25 October 2013, the Prime Minister of Mongolia paid official visit to China and held talks with the Prime Minister of China on broader economic cooperation of Mongolia and China and signed an agreement outlining key areas of cooperation for the development of strategic partnership in the medium and long term between the two countries. As part of the cooperation, during this visit Mongolian coal producers, including the Group, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Shenhua Group Corporation of China to cooperate on export of 1 billion tonnes of coal in the next 20 years from Mongolia to China. Moreover, Mongolian and Chinese companies agreed to create a partnership, where the Group is member, to improve infrastructure capacity for coal export between the two countries and signed a memorandum of understanding with MTZ on 25 October 2013 in the presence of the Prime Ministers of Mongolia and China.

 

The Group expects that significant rebound in steel and its upstream raw material markets will not eventuate in 2014 unless global economic recovery accelerates leading to significant impact on the China market, and/or the Chinese government reconsiders stimulus measures to boost their domestic economy.

 

As market sentiments change and infrastructural developments open more opportunities, besides focusing on increasing its market share in the highest selling price markets, the Company continues to explore potential new markets that are emerging as result of enabling infrastructure developments.

 

Prospects:

In 2013, the global coking coal market continued to experience significant downward pressure on coking coal prices due to increased supply and the management expects that this trend will continue in 2014 as well. The management maintains a positive outlook over the long term as the fundamentals of demographics associated with increasing industrialization will continue to create demand for steel across Asia and other emerging markets. However, the industry will ultimately need to reach a more balanced equilibrium between supply and demand, in order to see pricing improvement.

 

The management believes that with all major development project related capital expenditure complete, liquidity improvement initiatives and maintenance of competitive cost structure by virtue of its robust production profile and efficient cost control measures, the Company is well positioned to demonstrate sufficient flexibility to face headwinds in this more challenging environment.

 

The Company intends to pursue the following key strategies in order to maintain and enhance its position as a leading Asian washed coking coal producer: (i) maximizing assets utilization to drive unit fixed costs down; (ii) supporting initiatives to improve transportation infrastructure and capability, in particular cross border railway development, to gain access to the Chinese railway network to reach customers in China; (iii) exploring opportunities for expanding and diversifying its business operations through potential strategic cooperation and joint ventures agreements; and (iv) continuing its strong commitment to safety, the environment and socially responsible operations.

 

In 2014, the Group will aim to maximize utilization of its CHPP capacity by processing ROM coal sourced from the Group’s own mines and also neighbouring mines under mutually beneficial contract washing cooperation arrangements. Regarding transportation and logistics, the management will support infrastructure development to enable further cost reductions, in particular the cost of cross-border transportation between TKH and GM, with continued dialogue in progress between Mongolian and Chinese authorities to build the cross border railway.

 

The management will continue to strengthen existing and create new long-term relations with its end-user customers. Additionally, the management will actively look at strategic long term partnerships to expand its relations and presence in China.
