1 T. Dorjbal Commercial Director, Mongolrostsvetmet LLC Mongolia: Growing source of fluorspar November 2011

2 Content Mongolia fluorspar properties and reserve Fluorspar processing capacities of Mongolia Fluorspar export of Mongolia Main consumers of Mongolian fluorspar Potential new projects Government policy towards fluorspar mining and processing

3 Fluorspar properties and reserves There are 139 fluorspar deposits and more than 700 fluorite occurrences in Mongolia. Approved ore reserves -57,5 Mt. Number of mining licenses Number of exploration licenses Mining license s area (hectare) Number of entities dealing with fluorspar mining 139 OVER

4 Fluorspar properties and reserves 5 fluorspar mineralization districts in south-eastern Mongolia. No Fluorspar mineralization districts Estimated ore resources (million t) CaF2 content (million t) 1 Bor-Undur fluorspar district Khar Airag fluorspar district Berkh fluorspar district Dornod fluorspar district Urgen fluorspar district Other zones Total

18 Two potential new projects Dzuun tsagaan del fluorspar deposit 4.4 million tons of fluorspar ores in category C 1 +C 2 underground ore body. /Former Soviet Union standard / Fluorspar ore grading is 29.10% with an average CaCO3 content of 7.39%. Mining license Mineral resources of fluorspar deposit were approved by the Council of Mineral Resources under the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy of Mongolia. Feasibility study prepared by Mongolian Mining Institute

19 Two new projects Ujgen fluorspar deposit Mining operation since Still in operation Ore reserve 4.0 million tons of fluorspar ores in category C 1 +C 2 by former Soviet Union Standard Fluorspar ore grading is 35-36% with an average CaCO 3 content of 13% in some ore bodies. Possibilities to increase ore reserve by conducting additional geological exploration work Feasibility study of Urgun mine -prepared Environmental assessment report - carried out.
