GS Terminal Joint Financing Agreement

(5 October 2021, Ulaanbaatar) - Mongolian Mining Corporation ("MMC", or together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; stock code: 975), is pleased to announce that its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary Energy Resources LLC ("ER") signed an agreement on 4 October 2021 with other coal mining companies operating in the Greater Tavan Tolgoi area, namely, Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi JSC ("ETT") and Tavan Tolgoi JSC ("TT"), for joint financing to establish terminal for containerised coal shipments (the "Terminal") at the Gashuunsukhait ("GS") border checkpoint.

On 2 July 2021, the Government of Mongolia ("GoM") issued Resolution No. 185, to establish terminals for containerised coal shipments at key border checkpoints utilised for coal exports from Mongolia to China. Accordingly, 30-hectare area at the GS border checkpoint was allotted for GS Terminal by relevant authorities. GS Terminal construction work was financed and completed by the Group and commissioned by the relevant authorities on 20 September 2021.

The joint financing agreement outlines principles for sharing costs required to fund the project in line with agreed capacity utilisation among the above-mentioned entities operating in the Greater Tavan Tolgoi area.

Mr. Yondon Gelen, Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry, said, "The terminal's initial capacity is expected to facilitate annually up to 8 million tonnes of coal exports. It is designed to reach capacity over 19 million tonnes per annum by gradually increasing deployed handling equipment in line with the overall containerised coal transportation demand".
