Over half million head of livestock died in Mongolia www.news.mn

A total of 567,600 head of livestock have died in Mongolia so far this year due to the extreme wintry weather known as “dzud”.
The number of dead animals is up nearly 10 percent compared to the same period last year, and around 85 percent of the dead animals are goats and sheep.
Snowfall covered up to around 70 percent of the country, with more than 60 administrative subdivisions in half of all 21 provinces of the country experiencing dzud or near dzud conditions.
Among the provinces, Khentii and Sukhbaatar in the east, Arkhangai in the central west, as well as Khovd and Uvs in the west registered the highest rates of animal death.
Mongolia, one of the last nomadic countries in the world, had 71.1 million livestock animals at the end of 2022. The promotion of livestock husbandry is seen as the most viable way to diversify the landlocked country’s mining-dependent economy.

MineSec Empowers Mongol iD as Mongolia's Pioneering Fintech with SoftPOS Launch www.hubbis.com

MineSec has boosted Mongol iD's capabilities as a leading fintech firm among Mongolia's market players by helping launch a software point of sale (SoftPOS) for the latter. Through the SoftPOS solution, MineSec has enabled Mongol iD to conduct businesses directly through mobile card payments without the need of additional software.
SoftPOS converts smart devices into a secure payment terminal as opposed to traditional POS systems. This revolutionary payment technology enables scalability while minimising terminal and maintenance costs. Mongol iD is seeing opportunities to expand their business using SoftPOS technology. This is in line with a new regulatory push from the Bank of Mongolia which mandates all issued cards to possess contactless capabilities.
Mongol iD will utilise the SoftPOS solution from MineSec for the newly released MinuChat. The unified solution offers merchants various services such as account statement; transfers and payments; as well as credit and loan applications; and invoicing and subscription payments. MinuChat also includes other advanced technology features that can ease business models such as chatbot services for merchants and map-based solutions that can help navigation including delivery and merchant information.
"With the support of MineSec, we are pleased to be the pioneering fintech company in Mongolia to launch a unified merchant solution with embedded SoftPOS functionality to drive local businesses' digital transformation and enable flexible fintech solution adoption," Khaliunbat.M, Chairman, of Mongol iD, said.
"We believe that SoftPOS can bring financial inclusivity and reduce the limitations of conservative financial services. MineSec is a strategic partner and their SoftPOS technology will play a key role in helping us bring all kinds of services into the palm of our customers," he added.
MineSec's white-label SoftPOS solution meets international standards set by payment schemes like Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, UnionPay and JCB, enabling customers to scale confidently and competitively amid the international market's unique evolving needs.
"Amid the rising demand for convenient and secure payment acceptance methods, many payment service providers are pressured to provide new value-added services to their merchant networks. We enable businesses like Mongol iD to leapfrog their own SoftPOS solution development with our SoftPOS Software Development Kit (SDK). This, in return, shortens the development process and allows effective solution deployment to Mongol iD's merchant clients," said Angus Chiu, CEO, of MineSec.
Moving forward, Mongol iD is looking to tap on MineSec's technology to launch SoftPOS on iOS devices in the future.

Talon Energy welcomes milestone Mongolian cooperation by partner TMK Energy with miner MAK www.proactiveinvestors.com.au

Talon Energy Ltd (ASX:TPD) is making strong progress with its energy strategy in Mongolia which now includes a milestone cooperation agreement signed by partner TMK Energy Ltd and major Mongolian company Mongol Alt LLC (MAK).
This agreement expands the level of cooperation between TMK and one of Mongolia’s largest and most successful group of private companies.
Electricity offtake
The cooperation and electricity offtake agreement has the potential for MAK to purchase electricity generated from produced gas in TMK’s three-well Pilot Production Well Program at the Gurvantes XXXV Coal Seam Gas (CSG) Project.
MAK will also store and beneficially reuse excess water extracted from pilot production wells for its extensive mining operations in the resource-rich region of southern Mongolia.
Gurvantes partnership
TMK Energy holds a 67% operated interest in the Gurvantes XXXV CSG Project in the South Gobi Basin of Mongolia while Talon Energy holds the remaining 33% interest.
The partners are committed to responsibly developing this project into a world-class producing gasfield on behalf of and for the benefit of Mongolia.
Among other things, the MAK Group of Companies owns and operates the coal mining lease on which TMK is undertaking its first pilot well program.
The MAK mine is a large energy user in the Nariin Sukhait region and also has a high demand for water, which is a valuable resource in the South Gobi Desert.
Creating efficiencies
This new agreement represents a key milestone for the Gurvantes XXXV Project as it will lead to significant efficiencies in the pilot well program as well as providing a clear pathway to early commercialisation by providing electricity to one of the largest users in the area.
Subject to regulatory approvals and anticipated strong gas production rates, the gas produced from the three pilot production wells will be used for modular power generation (1MW-10MW) which will be sold to MAK at the prevailing local wholesale price.
Without this agreement, the gas produced from the pilot program would be required to be flared.
This initiative with MAK allows for an environmentally sensible and commercially attractive way to utilise the gas produced from the pilot well program.
Also includes water
An additional agreement in which TMK will provide MAK with the water it will produce in the early stages of operating the pilot program is beneficial to both as it removes the requirement for TMK to build and operate separate water storage and handling facilities and allows for the beneficial reuse of the water by MAK.
“Mutually beneficial”
TMK Energy’s chief executive officer Brendan Stats said: “Close cooperation between MAK and TMK will be mutually beneficial allowing for significant efficiencies and the ability to better utilise the valuable resources of produced water and produced gas during from the pilot production wells, in a manner that is both environmentally sensible and commercially attractive.
"The opportunity to generate and sell power to MAK will allow TMK to demonstrate that the Gurvantes XXXV Project can provide a new and scalable domestic solution to meet the growing energy demand of the South Gobi region, and help address Mongolia’s energy security, reliability and independence.
"We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with MAK, which is one of the largest energy users in the immediate area, as we continue to expand and develop the already proven substantial gas resource in the central Nariin Sukhait area.”
Access to equipment
MAK has also agreed to provide TMK with access to its heavy machinery and support equipment and personnel (at commercial rates).
This will greatly assist TMK and TPD in the construction activities of the pilot well program, and in particular, the construction of the drill pads and associated facilities.

Mongolia blatantly broke the contract, China announced the lifting of the ban on Australian coal, Mongolia may regret it www.min.news

In the past few years, due to Australia's finger-pointing on China-related issues, China made a decision to restrict coal imports from Australia, and instead chose to import coal from Mongolia.
However, recently, due to Mongolia's unilateral breach of contract and unilateral price increase, China angrily lifted all restrictions on Australian coal. Mongolian coal may lose China, a huge consumer market, and Mongolia may regret it.
Let's review why China previously restricted the import of Australian coal
In 2020, Australia made a high-profile announcement that it would investigate the origin of the coronavirus in China, and followed the United States in making inappropriate remarks and implementing unfriendly measures on China's 5G cooperation, which led to the deterioration of relations between China and Australia. The import of some resources in Australia, including coal. It is precisely because of this restrictive measure that the proportion of China's imports of Australian coal has dropped from 49% to 3%.
After restricting coal imports to Australia in 2020, China finally chose Mongolia as China's first choice for coal imports after evaluating the market conditions of coal resources in Mongolia, Russia, India and other countries. The move enabled Mongolia to replace Australia and officially become China's largest coal supplier .
Exporting coal to China has brought continuous benefits to Mongolia
According to data from the website of the Ministry of Commerce of China, Mongolia will export 31.68 million tons of coal in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 101.7% , of which 90% will be exported to China. If China and Mongolia continue to maintain cooperation, Mongolia can gain huge benefits from it, and the cooperation will also enable both parties to achieve a win-win situation of mutual benefit and win-win results.
However, Mongolian coal is highly exported to China, and this situation has become a controversial topic in Mongolia
In December 2022, demonstrations related to China's coal trade broke out in Mongolia, and the Mongolian government launched an investigation. In order to rectify the country's coal trading market environment, unilaterally increase the price of coal exported to China, and even directly unilaterally terminate the coal sales agreement signed with Chinese companies, and even put the coal on the stock exchange for auction, further causing coal prices rise.
Some people think that this is because Mongolia has tasted the sweetness of cooperation with China, resulting in too much greed.
Since the new Australian Prime Minister took office in May 2022, the new Australian government has repeatedly stated that it hopes to repair relations with China , reversing the previous government's "anti-China vanguard" stance towards China; China has also expressed its sincerity based on the new Australian government , Expressing willingness to repair Sino-Australian relations, so far, Sino-Australian relations have recovered rapidly.
On the one hand, Mongolia unilaterally raised prices and broke the contract; on the other hand, China-Australia relations have rebounded. At the same time, in order to avoid the squeeze of coal import channels, after comprehensive consideration, China re-selected Australian coal as the first choice, and lifted the restrictions on Australia. All restrictions on coal.
In February 2023, Australia's coal export volume was 24.1585 million tons, the second consecutive month of decline, a decrease of 10.03% from January , and a decrease of 7.9% from the same period last year .
In contrast to China, according to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, from January to February 2023, China's coal imports will be 60.642 million tons, an increase of 70.8% compared with the same period last year.
The positive and negative coal demands of China and Australia complement each other, and the cooperation space is highly consistent.
Australia is a large coal-producing country with proven coal reserves of 147.4 billion tons, accounting for 14% of the world's proven coal reserves, and is the third largest country in the world.
China is also a country with a large population. China's demographic dividend has not disappeared. At the same time, China is also a country with a large energy consumption. Moreover, after the epidemic, China's consumption capacity will become stronger .
Based on the respective needs of China and Australia, as long as the two sides maintain a good cooperative relationship, I believe that the coal trade cooperation between China and Australia will achieve a win-win situation for both parties, which is a wise choice for both parties.

Credit Suisse bank: UBS said to be in takeover talks with troubled rival www.bbc.com

Switzerland's biggest bank, UBS, is reported to be in advanced talks to buy all or part of its troubled rival Credit Suisse.
Shares in Credit Suisse have fallen sharply in recent days after it said it had found "material weakness" in its financial reporting.
An emergency $54bn (£44.5bn) lifeline from the Swiss National Bank has not resolved the issue.
Regulators are trying to facilitate a deal before markets reopen on Monday.
There are concerns that Credit Suisse shares could continue to plummet, after they fell 24% on Wednesday.
This prompted a general sell-off on European markets, and fears of a wider financial crisis.
The Swiss government held an emergency meeting on Saturday night, but so far there has been no official statement on the progress of the negotiations.
UBS is said to have asked the Swiss government to cover about $6bn (£4.9bn) in costs if it were to buy Credit Suisse, according to sources quoted by Reuters.
Any deal may also result in significant job losses.
The problems have coincided with the failure of two lenders in the US - Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank - raising fears over the health of the banking system
Credit Suisse, which was founded in 1856, has faced a string of scandals in recent years, including money laundering charges.
It reported a loss of 7.3bn Swiss francs ($7.9bn; £6.5bn) in 2022 - its worst year since the financial crisis of 2008 - and has warned it does not expect to be profitable until 2024.
UBS, however, made a profit of $7.6bn in 2022.
As well as being a domestic bank with 95 branches, Credit Suisse has a global investment banking operation and manages the assets of rich clients.
It is one of 30 banks worldwide deemed too big to fail because they are of such importance to the international banking system.
At the end of last year Credit Suisse had a global staff of 50,480, including 16,700 in Switzerland, though 9,000 jobs were to be axed, the Swiss broadcaster SRF reports.

Aussie watches over the orphans of Ulaanbaatar www.afr.com

Australian woman Gabrielle “Didi” Dowling knows better than most just how harsh and unforgiving life can be in Mongolia.
For the past 28 years, she has cared for the orphaned, unwanted and neglected children of a developing nation now struggling with how to stamp out corruption and come up with the best way to make the most of mining wealth that comes from a partnership with Rio Tinto in the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine.
The Lotus Children’s Centre she runs on 10 hectares of land at the foot of a rock-strewn mountain is steadily being engulfed by the urban sprawl of the capital Ulaanbaatar.
The Mongolian government allowed her to build on the land behind a rubbish dump about a decade ago after the number of children in her care hit 150 and her first centre became too small.
Mining entrepreneur Robert Friedland, who played a significant role in the early years of Oyu Tolgoi, visited the centre a few times in its first incarnation.
Friedland talked about funding a new centre – the old one was an overcrowded collection of traditional round tents known as ger– but the talk came to nothing.
As well as caring for orphans, babies abandoned in the freezing streets and those whose parents can’t cope, Dowling has run soup kitchens and women’s shelters.
For a while the women made money sewing copper sample bags when Rio Tinto became involved in Oyu Tolgoi, but that work dried up.
Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, the former owner of Harrods department store, helped feed, clothe and educate the children for many years after he gained a foothold in mineral assets in Mongolia, but that funding was abruptly cut off in 2019.
Dowling has lost count of how many children have passed through the centre – probably about a thousand – with some arriving as babies and leaving in their late teens.
One young woman has just celebrated turning 18, although no one is really sure of her exact birth date.
Police called Dowling after the child was left outside an apartment building at about two months of age. A medical check showed the baby might have neurological disabilities but she thrived at the centre, which produced seven university entrants last year.
Unprompted by Dowling, some of her teenage brigade at Lotus took part in multi-day protests in Sukhbaatar Square in Ulaanbaatar in December over corruption in mining centred on a state-owned coal producer.
Some of the protesters, many of them young in a country where about a third of the population is under 18 and two thirds under the age of 35, stripped to near naked in temperatures of -30C as the peaceful protest turned up the heat on the government to clean up corruption, amid allegations that have embroiled two former prime ministers and rich and powerful families.
Despite the problems, Dowling says there is more opportunity in Mongolia now than there was when she started working with children.
“There still is a lot of poverty and at the moment it is very hard with the price rises on everything. A lot of people are living off not much,” she says.
“You don’t have all the social benefits that are in Australia. If you are unemployed, there are no unemployment benefits.
“Here a lot of work is very seasonal with the weather; the building industry doesn’t run much for months, tourism, agriculture are also seasonal. There are long winters and coal and heating is getting very expensive.”
When Dowling, 63, first arrived in Mongolia as an Ananda Marga nun, the country was still trying to shed the weight of nearly 70 years of Soviet influence.
Her first centre had no running water and the most basic of facilities as she tried to care for children suffering from complaints like rickets, syphilis, meningitis and malnourishment. Even today her own little house has no flushing toilet and no electricity until she can afford repairs. The centre’s children and its school are the priority, and she sleeps there to stay warm.
Dowling, who severed ties with Ananda Marga about five years ago, grew up on the family farm at Mulwala in the Riverina before devoting her life to Mongolia’s least fortunate children.
She says it is the children that keep her going through the cold winters and the heartbreak of cases where they do not survive.
“I think when you enjoy what you are doing you can live with it,” she says. “I enjoy being with the kids. I came to Mongolia and met up with these kids and decided this is my life.”
