For Immediate Release
MEC TO COMMENCE CHINA COAL SHIPMENT The 311 km Khushuut Road has been inspected and passed by The Mongolian Authority HONG KONG, 27 November, 2011 - Mongolia Energy Corporation Limited (HKSE:276) ("MEC") is pleased to announce the ready commission of the Khushuut Road.
MEC completed construction of the 311 km Khushuut Road at the
beginning of November
2011. It was successfully accepted by the State Commission
Inspection Committee made up of 25 members on 6 November
2011. MEC is expected to receive the final conclusion
permission in writing on 28 November 2011. Once it has been
received, MEC will commence coal shipment exporting to
China.
MEC is the first mining company to successfully construct the
longest hard-surface paved road for coal transport in
Mongolia.
The Khushuut Road has a distance of 311 km in length,
stretching from Khushuut mine site to Yarant (Mongolia) and
Takeshensken border (Xinjiang). The road crosses five
sub-provinces of Khovd (Darvi, Tsetseg, Altai, Uyench,
Bulgan). There are 17 bridges and more than 200 waste water
pipes built along the Road.
The Khushuut Road was built and commissioned for a payload of
up to 110 tones.
A completion of a paved road has a direct positive impact to
reduce the operating costs to the mining business. What used
to be a gravel travel road which takes over 8 hours to travel
to the border will now only take 4 hours.
The road project being the biggest infrastructure development
project for Khovd province, and one of the large scale road
investment projects by privately owned mining enterprise in
the Mongolia history. It provides many social benefits to the
local community. Not only does it provide an efficient mode
of transportation for all the local residence, the road
project itself also created hundreds of jobs for local
provinces and a considerable income for provinces and
state.
Coal trucks traveling on paved road will minimize a negative
environment impact to the area by minimizing the potential
dust which normally caused by coal transport on gravel roads.
In addition, a paved road provides a safer road environment
for coal shipments.
MEC being the first is now a role model for all mining
projects in Mongolia to build the infrastructure (road) prior
to shipping minerals for export. It's such an
environmentally friendly decision which is praised by many
Mongolians and government bodies.
