Turquoise Hill holder Pentwater ups stake, rejects Rio Tinto bid www.mining.com

Pentwater Capital Management LP, the second-largest investor in Turquoise Hill Resources (TSX: TQR) has increased its stake in the Canadian company while again rejecting Rio Tinto’s C$43-a-share offer for the 49% of the miner it doesn’t already own.
The activist investor disclosed it had bought around 1.24% of common stock at C$41.01 per share in Turquoise Hill, for a total of C$102.5 million on September 15. It means it currently owns 13.77% of Turquoise Hill’s shares
Rio Tinto (ASX, LON: RIO) agreed earlier this month to take over Turquoise Hill after sweetening an initial offer by around 20% to “a best and final” $3.3 billion.
Pentwater, which joined minority shareholder SailingStone Capital Partners in publicly opposing Rio Tinto’s offer as too low, restated its discontent.
“The proposed price implies an equity value of C$8.65 billion, which is a fraction of the free cash flow that Pentwater expects Turquoise Hill to generate over the next decade,” it said in the statement.
Pentwater noted it expects Turquoise Hill to generate over C$10.5 billion of free cash flow through 2030 assuming a $3.50 per pound copper price and almost C$14.2 billion of free cash flow assuming copper prices of $4 per pound.
It also said it was weighing options to thwart the deal, including but not limited to the possible exercise of dissent rights or other legal action.
Rio’s offer requires two thirds of shareholders, including Rio Tinto’s, to vote in favour. More than 50% of minority shareholders must approve it.
The final bid represents a 67% premium from Turquoise Hill’s closing price of C$25.68 a share on March 11, the trading day prior to the initial proposal.
Third largest copper-gold mine
Pentwater has said the proposed premium is unacceptable for a mine that it expects to be “the third largest copper and gold mine in the world with a mine life in excess of 90 years.”
Some analysts believe that Rio Tinto will need to increase its offer to win over some minority shareholders and so hold a direct majority stake in the massive Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine in Mongolia.
The global miner, which has mined copper from Oyu Tolgoi’s open pit for a decade, will have the task of finishing building the underground section of the mine.
Once completed, it will lift production from 125,000–150,000 tonnes in 2019 to 560,000 tonnes per year at peak output, which is now expected by 2025 at the earliest.
This would make it the biggest new copper mine to come on stream in several years.

Mongolian President says he supports Russia-China oil and gas pipelines through Mongolia www.reuters.com

MOSCOW, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh said on Thursday that he supports the construction of oil and gas pipelines from Russia to China via Mongolia.
Speaking via translator at a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in the Uzbek city of Samarkand, Khurelsukh backed the plans, proposing studies of their economic feasability.
Khurelsukh said: "We also support the construction of oil and gas pipelines to supply natural gas from Russia to China through the territory of Mongolia and propose to study this issue from the viewpoint of technical and economic justification".
Russian energy giant Gazprom (GAZP.MM) hopes to build the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline via Mongolia to China with a view to exporting 50 billion cubic metres of gas per year via the route by 2030. No plans for an oil pipeline via Mongolia have yet been formally proposed.

Xi pointed out that China-Mongolia relations have maintained good momentum of growth, and exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in various fields have achieved good results.
Relations with Mongolia has an important place in China's neighborhood diplomacy, he said, adding that China stands ready to work with the Mongolian side to carry forward traditional friendship and expand mutually beneficial cooperation in the spirit of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness and take the China-Mongolia comprehensive strategic partnership to new heights.
Xi emphasized that the trend of the world is surging forward, that peace and development are the common aspirations of people of all countries, and that unilateralism, hegemony and the Cold War mentality will eventually be swept away by the trend of history.
China has always been committed to peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit, and calls for building a community with a shared future for mankind, he said.
China and Mongolia need to continue to treat each other as friends, support each other and engage in win-win cooperation to set a shining example of relations between neighbors, Xi said.
The two countries, he said, need to strengthen strategic communication and policy coordination, uphold mutual respect for each other's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, respect the development paths independently chosen by the two peoples, firmly support each other's core interests and major concerns, and look after and consolidate the political foundation for the development of bilateral relations.
The Chinese side is ready to work with the Mongolian side to strengthen the exchange of experience on governance, synergize the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the "Prairie Road" initiative, promote the development of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor, implement the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and support Mongolia in achieving better and faster development, he said, adding that China supports Mongolia's "Planting One Billion Trees" plan and is ready to carry out cooperation projects with Mongolia in combating desertification.
Khurelsukh said the traditional friendliness between Mongolia and China is increasingly solidified and that the comprehensive strategic partnership is indeed a fine example for state-to-state relations. Mongolia thanks China for offering COVID-19 assistance, which made important contributions to the health of Mongolian people.
Issues related to Taiwan, Xinjiang, Tibet and so on are China's internal affairs, he said, stressing Mongolia staunchly abides by the one-China policy and firmly opposes the interference in China's internal affairs by any country.
Mongolia highly commends China's important contributions to safeguarding world peace and security, and supports the BRI, the GDI and the GSI put forward by China, he said, adding that Mongolia is ready to build stronger synergy between the two countries' development strategies, and enhance bilateral practical cooperation in various fields such as economy and trade, railway and environment.
Great achievements have been made in the building of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, and Mongolia is happy for China, he said.
Khurelsukh wished the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China a full success, and expressed conviction that under the strong leadership of President Xi, China will surely realize the grand goal of building China into a modern socialist country in all respects.
Ding Xuexiang, Yang Jiechi, Wang Yi, He Lifeng and other officials attended the meeting.

Thousands of dinosaur footprints discovered in the Mongolian Gobi Desert www.news.mn

A research team from Okayama University of Science in Japan recently discovered more than 1,000 dinosaur footprint fossils at the end of the Cretaceous period in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert. The team said that the discovery will help archaeologists understand the walking style and posture of dinosaurs, and the results are very valuable.
A dinosaur research team conducted an investigation in the southeastern and central parts of the Gobi Desert, and found 23 well-preserved continuous The long “tracks” lasted about 30 meters, and the total number of footprints reached more than 1,000, of which the largest footprint was 90 cm long.
Palaeontologists said that the history of these footprints can be traced back to the end of the Cretaceous period, 70 million to 90 million years ago, and it is speculated that they were herbivorous with a body length of about 6 to 25 meters. Dinosaur “Titanosauria” (Titanosauria) left behind.
Usually, the footprints of the forefoot are easily stepped on by the hindfoot and thus difficult to leave behind, but this time, it is rare to find many tracks with both the forefoot and the hindfoot. In addition, this is the first time a dinosaur footprint with paw prints has been found in Mongolia.
In fact, this joint investigation team has cooperated many years ago. In August 2016, they also unearthed a 106-centimeter-long dinosaur footprint fossil in the southeastern part of the Gobi Desert, which is presumed to be left by the Titanosaurus 70 million years ago. Because footprint fossils more than one meter long are rare in the world, this discovery is of great research value.
According to National Geographic, the largest dinosaur ever unearthed in Patagonia, Argentina, is Patagotitan mayorum, the largest terrestrial animal in history. Dragon genus (Titanosaur). Its weight is equivalent to the combined weight of 12 elephants and may have reached the size limit of terrestrial animals. The fossil is quite well preserved and helps experts understand its body structure.
