Iron ore price falls on worries of steel output cut in China www.mining.com

Iron ore prices fell on Monday as expectations of steel output cuts in China and weakness in the country’s property segment weighed on sentiment.
According to Fastmarkets, benchmark 62% Fe fines imported into Northern China fell 2.26% on Monday, to $103.01 per tonne, the lowest since May.
The most-traded January iron ore on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange dipped 0.4% to 725 yuan ($99.88) per metric ton.
On the Singapore Exchange, the benchmark September iron ore contract slumped 2.4% at $100.3 metric ton, as of 0730 GMT, shedding gains from the prior session.
The Singapore contract earlier dipped below the psychological threshold to $99.90.
“[Citi’s] industry discussions suggest that crude steel control targets will likely be finalized by August 15, and local governments and mills could make their own production control plans thereafter,” the bank said in a note, mirroring earlier concerns from the southwestern Yunnan province.
“This is supportive of steel margins, but likely has negative implications for iron ore. However, the actual impact will still depend on how local governments enforce cuts amid the weak macro environment,” the analysts added.
Lackluster Chinese demand and property market deterioration also added pressure.
China’s new bank loans tumbled in July and other key credit gauges also weakened despite policymakers cutting interest rates and vowing to roll out more support for the faltering economy.
Chinese property giant Country Garden’s debt problems deepened after its onshore bonds were suspended, sending its shares plunging 16% to a record low on Monday.

Mongolia’s Reliance on Coal Continues to Grow www.energyportal.eu

In Mongolia, the demand for coal is on the rise despite global efforts to reduce reliance on this highly polluting fossil fuel. Mongolia produced 32.3 million metric tonnes of coal in 2021, a 22% increase from the previous year, reaching pre-COVID-19 levels. Coal is not only used for more than 90% of Mongolia’s electricity but also accounts for 30% of its exports.
Government officials in Mongolia have expressed the need to export as much coal as possible to take advantage of this opportunity, and even the country’s environment minister admits that coal will be necessary for the next five to ten years. The natural gas price increase due to the Ukraine-Russia war has led countries like Germany to revert to using coal, further justifying Mongolia’s dependency on it.
Mongolia, with its vast coal reserves of 33.27 billion metric tons, is dubbed “Mine-Golia” as it is poised to meet the growing demand for coal. The country holds more than 2,700 valid mining licenses, covering 5% of its landmass. Plans include establishing more border checkpoints and transportation links with China, its primary coal export destination, to facilitate increased exports.
Despite the economic benefits, coal mining poses significant environmental concerns. Experts point out that mining contributes to water, soil, and air pollution and degradation, affecting herders and their livelihood in the semi-arid grasslands of Mongolia. A recent study found higher rates of soil erosion near mining areas, highlighting the environmental impact.
The reliance on coal has its human costs as well. Independent truckers like Barkhas Buyandavaa, who transports coal on contract, endure difficult working conditions. They drive on unpaved desert roads, often facing breakdowns in remote locations. However, the economic necessity of the job keeps them tied to this hazardous profession.
While the world is moving away from coal, Mongolia remains heavily dependent on it. Efforts to transition to cleaner energy sources are crucial for the country’s sustainable development and to mitigate the environmental and health impacts associated with coal mining and consumption.

B.Choijilsuren: Coking coal from China will be tested to reduce air pollution www.gogo.mn

Sumiyabazar, Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, introduced to the City Council Meeting about the issuance of securities of MNT 500 billion and to purchase semi-coked coal and starter from China by MNT 177.5 billion.
B.Choijilsuren, the Minister of Energy, participated in the City Council Meeting and said, “We can’t tell a lie that we will remove air pollution completely. Between December 15 and January 31, firing will be tested. MNT 30 billion out of MNT 177.5 billion will be spent on purchasing starters. Remaining will be purchased for coking coal.
Ulaanbaatar city has a population of 1.6 million. There are many difficulties and challenges. However, it is not the best solution, we only have this solution. And we decided to try it instead of doing nothing. We will test it this winter in Ulaanbaatar. I'm not afraid of testing”

MIAT: Boeing 787-9 to fly routes to Frankfurt, Seoul and Istanbul www.news.mn

On 11 August, MIAT Mongolian Airlines, the flag carrier of Mongolia, has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787, a 787-9.
The aircraft, registered as EI-MGL, flew from Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK), China to Ulaanbaatar New International Airport (UBN), where it landed at 10:00 AM local time (UTC +8). UBN is also known as Chinggis Khan International Airport.

It was moved to HAK in May 2023, before it finally landed at UBN and was transferred to MIAT Mongolian Airlines.
Boeing delivered the aircraft to Suparna Airlines in July 2019.
On August 7, 2023, the airline announced that it and AerCap, an Ireland-based aircraft lessor, has signed an agreement for a long-term lease of two Boeing 787-9s. The second aircraft of the type should be delivered in Q1 2023.
MIAT Mongolian Airlines said that its initial routes using the 787-9 would be to Frankfurt Airport (FRA), Germany, Istanbul Airport (IST), Turkey, and Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN), South Korea. There are also plans to use the aircraft to operate flights to the United States (US).
In early August 2023, Mongolia and the US signed an Open Skies agreement, which could open the doors to direct flights happening between the two countries starting 2024.

Three suspected cases of bubonic plague reported in Mongolia's capital www.xinhuanet.com

Three suspected cases of bubonic plague have been reported in Mongolia's capital here, the country's National Center for Zoonotic Diseases (NCZD) said Monday.
The suspected cases are people who have recently eaten marmot meat in the eastern provinces of Khentii and Sukhbaatar, the NCZD said, adding that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are now being conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
Although hunting marmots is illegal in Mongolia, many Mongolians regard the rodent as a delicacy and ignore the law.
On Aug. 8, one case of bubonic plague was confirmed in Ulan Bator, which is home to over half of the country's 3.4 million population.
Seventeen out of all the 21 Mongolian provinces are now at risk of the bubonic plague, according to the NCZD.
The bubonic plague is a bacterial disease that can be spread by fleas living on wild rodents such as marmots and can kill an adult in less than 24 hours if not treated in time, according to the World Health Organization.
