“Hustai National Park has become the park with most number of takhi horses in the world” www.montsame.mn

On March 8, Minister of Environment and Tourism B.Bat-Erdene held a meeting with representatives of rangers and became acquainted with the operations of Hustai National Park. During the meeting, the Minister expressed his stance on putting no less than 30 percent of the country’s territory under the state’s special protection in aims of preserving wildlife and fauna.
With the most recent additions, 32.7 million hectares of land - 21 percent of the country’s territory, is now under state special protection. Hustai National Park is one of the protected sites.
“Hustai National Park has become the park with the most number of takhi horses in the world, and the highest density of deer and marmot population in Mongolia. As their population was able to grow due to active conservation efforts, we are also currently carrying out works to re-introduce a certain number of the animals in other parts of the country,” said the rangers.
To mention some of the features of Hustai National Park, which was established to reintroduce one of the rarest species in the world:
• Runs operations during all four seasons to introduce foreign and domestic tourists to how the takhi horses were reintroduced and offer opportunities to spot wildlife such as takhi, deers, and wolves,
• Reintroduced over 500 red deer fawns and over 1,000 marmots in other parts of the country since the 2000s. The environmental protection efforts are considered to be on the same level as an investment of about MNT 3 billion.
• Became a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2007.

China to boost stakes in Russian companies – media www.rt.com

China is considering acquiring or increasing investments in Russian energy and natural resource companies, Bloomberg reported on Monday, citing sources.
According to the publication, Chinese investors are specifically interested in Russian state energy giant and major gas exporter Gazprom and aluminum producer Rusal.
The Russian authorities are reportedly in talks with state-owned Chinese companies such as China National Petroleum Corp., China Petrochemical Corp., Aluminum Corp. of China, and China Minmetals Corp. regarding investment opportunities in Russian assets, the sources said.
Negotiations are currently in the early stages, but talks have already begun between Chinese and Russian energy companies, they added.
Meanwhile, a number of Western nations have imposed sanctions on Russia over the past two weeks amid its ongoing military operation in Ukraine. In the most recent development, Washington on Wednesday placed a ban on Russian oil and gas imports to the US.
Many foreign companies have been severing ties with Russian producers amid sanctions. Energy majors BP, Shell, Equinor, OMV, and Exxon Mobil announced over the past few days they would be suspending operations in Russia and scrapping contracts with Russian firms. On Tuesday, US planemaker Boeing said it would stop buying Russian titanium used for aircraft production.

CERAWEEK Rio Tinto working to ensure access to Russian fuel for Mongolia project -exec www.reuters.com

HOUSTON, March 9 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO.L)(RIO.AX) is working to maintain steady supplies of fuel and other goods for its Mongolian copper operations from suppliers that buy from Russia and elsewhere, a top executive at the mining giant said on Wednesday.
The Anglo-Australian company is developing Mongolia's Oyu Tolgoi, one of the world's largest known copper and gold deposits. Rio controls about two-third of the project, with Ulanbaatar controlling the rest.
While Rio has begin looking for alternative fuel sources for Oyu Tolgoi, the company does not believe it can stop buying from Russia altogether, Bold Baatar, head of Rio's copper business, said on the sidelines of the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston. Rio has supply agreements for a host of products with Mongolian suppliers, many of whom procure materials from Russia.
"The reality is, Mongolia has two very big powerful neighbors, so it's quite important for us to maintain healthy, peaceful, balanced relationships," Baatar said of his home country.
Mongolia is bordered on the north by Russia and on the south and east by China, leaving Rio few options to secure supplies for the project, which is set to be the world's third-largest copper mine.
Amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, multiple companies and countries have announced they will stop business in Russia and buying Russian products.
Baatar said it would be "very difficult" for Rio's Mongolian operations to stop all imports from Russia, adding that some supplies come through Russia via Kazakhstan.
"That kind of supply is fine unless the world wants to completely shut the Russian borders, which is not possible," he said.
Rio in January ended a long-running feud with Mongolia's government over control of Oyu Tolgoi. The deal marked a positive development for the company, which is facing major pushback for projects in Serbia, the United States and Guinea.
Baatar appeared on a copper panel at the conference alongside Richard Adkerson, chief executive of Freeport-McMoRan Inc (FCX.N) and Trafigura's (TRAFGF.UL) Julien Rolland.
Baatar told the panel that it was "pretty imperative" for the United States to develop more copper mines to supply copper needed for electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. Rio is trying to develop the Resolution Copper project in Arizona, but has faced Native American opposition.
Mining companies "should respect the wishes of communities, and many communities don't want to see mining," Baatar said.
When asked what that meant for the Arizona project, Baatar said he believes an agreement can be reached with local Native Americans.
"I completely respect their views of the project and I'm really hopeful we can find a mutual, common solution," he said.

At today's Cabinet meeting, the State Procurement Agency was authorized to conclude a concession agreement for the Zuunbayan-Khangi railway project with the project implementing entity.
Minister of Road and Transport Development L.Khaltar was assigned to take immediate measures to resolve the issue of giving licenses related to the implementation of the concession project in accordance with the relevant law and regulations.
Resolution No. 28 of the Government of Mongolia dated January 12, 2022, tasked to conclude a direct contract for the Zuunbayan-Khangi railway project in accordance with the Concession Law.

With the commissioning of the Zuunbayan-Khangi railway, the transportation distance from the Yeruu station of the Ulaanbaatar Railway to the Baotou station in China will be shortened from 1,722 km to 1,404 km by 306 km and the transportation cost of iron ore will be reduced by USD 4-8. In addition to making Mongolia's iron ore competitive with Chinese and Australian iron ore prices, the project is significant to increase exports, imports, and transit freight traffic, create new international railway crossings, and create more than 1,600 jobs.

Gold price approaching record high as Ukraine, inflation risks mount www.mining.com

Gold extended its blistering rally on Tuesday towards an all-time high as investors made a beeline for the haven metal on mounting fears about the Ukraine crisis and rising inflation.
Spot gold surged 3.5% to $2,068.07 an ounce by 12:10 p.m. ET, within touching distance of its peak of $2,072.50 set in August 2020. US gold futures also jumped 4.0% to $2,076.70 an ounce in New York.
“The combination of roaring energy prices, grain prices, base metal prices is culminated in dramatic inflationary pressures that continue to be the major underlying support behind gold moves higher,” David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures, said in a Reuters report.
“In addition, we’re seeing significant amount of safe haven bids in the gold market as equity markets have come under pressure due to major concerns on the geopolitical front,” Meger added.
Soaring oil prices and the Ukraine war have slammed appetite for riskier assets. US President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday a ban on Russian oil, with the UK also expected to follow.
Bullion, which has risen nearly 13% this year, is considered a safe store of value during times of geopolitical uncertainty and rising inflation.
Meanwhile, palladium gained another 2.0% after hitting a new high of $3,440.76 an ounce on Monday.

China reveals new burden for world economy www.rt.com

Sanctions against Russia over its military operation in Ukraine will become a new burden for the world economy, which has not yet recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic, said Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday, RIA Novosti news agency has reported, citing Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
“Relevant sanctions will affect the stability of global finance, energy supplies, transportation, and supply chains and will further burden the global economy, which has been under the heavy burden of the pandemic, and that is disadvantageous to all parties,” Xi said, speaking at a virtual meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The Chinese leader also added that China, France, and Germany should make efforts to reduce the negative impact of the crisis, and jointly support peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, to prevent the conflict from escalating or “spinning out of control,” RIA Novosti says.
The EU has imposed several rounds of severe sanctions against Russia, targeting the country’s banking and industrial sector, freezing Moscow’s foreign reserves, and causing a mass exodus of foreign businesses from the country.
China has refused to condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine and has consistently called for a negotiated diplomatic solution to the conflict.
Trade between Russia and China has been booming despite events in Ukraine. According to Chinese customs data released on Monday, the trade turnover between the two countries increased by nearly 39% in the first two months of this year compared to the same period last year, exceeding $26 billion.
