Elixir Energy begins 2021 Mongolia exploration program www.ogj.com

Elixir Energy Ltd., Adelaide, has commenced its 2021 field program in Mongolia with the spudding of Yangir-2.
This will be a fully rested core hole drilled immediately adjacent to its 2020 stratigraphic hole Yangir-1S which encountered 27 m of visibly bubbling coal seams.
Yangir-1S—drilled 347 m depth—terminated in December 2020 for operational reasons but opened the potential for a new subbasin in the company’s Nomgon coal seam gas production sharing contract area.
The new well is the first appraisal of that discovery.
Elixir has already made Mongolia’s first coal seam gas find in the PSC with the Nomgon-1 discovery in the Nomgon subbasin (OGJ Online, July 29, 2020). The well encountered a net coal intersection of 71 m that was fully gas saturated. A production test is planned for this year.
Overall, Elixir plans to drill 13 wells in the 2021 field program, along with the acquisition of 200 km of seismic and the one pilot production test.
The PSC is in the south Gobi region of Mongolia, close to the border with China.
Independent studies indicate the Nomgon PSC has potential to hold a recoverable resource of up to 7.6 tcf of gas.

Baby camel wool versus goat cashmere: Which is really better? www.montsame.mn

Article by PhD Ts. Enkh-Amgalan, Green Gold and Animal Health project manager
Asking the right question is as important as providing the right answer. The question I was originally going to raise was, can baby camel wool be a substitute for cashmere? If the answer is yes, then maybe the next question should be, can we develop baby camel wool products that would attract international buyers? Today, it is becoming more difficult to sell garments with “acceptable” quality and ”boring” designs, especially if the price is high. Furthermore, as environmental issues are consistently identified as the main development challenge of our time, world leaders have brought these issues to the center of the global development agenda. Feeling the immediate need for solutions to these issues, consumers all over the world have started to attempt to make culpable purchases, thereby investing in environmentally friendly production.
Mongolia, with over 65 million head of livestock freely grazing on natural rangelands, has much to offer to the world’s consumers when it comes to eco-friendly products of animal origin. Besides goat cashmere, Mongolia has the potential to offer other high quality natural fibres to the market, such as camel wool, yak down, and sheep wool.
As part of its goal to support eco-friendly production, thereby ensuring sustainable rangeland management and increasing the income of herder families, the Green Gold Project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation in Mongolia has been working to improve the value of yak down and camel wool over the last decade. Having seen the potential to attract consumers in the international market, the project started an initiative to develop products from baby camel wool. Compared to goat cashmere, the content of coarse hair in de-haired (processed) baby camel wool and yak down used to be 4-6%, while in goat cashmere it is 0.2%-0.3% or 20 times lower. One reason for this is that goat cashmere is collected by combing, while camel and yak wool was typically collected by shearing. In order to reduce coarse hair content, since 2014, Green Gold Project has been testing baby camel wool combing in Gobi-Altai, Bayankhongor, Umnugobi, Dundgobi, Dornogobi, Zavkhan and Uvs provinces. During these tests, it was realized that when combed, the collected fibre’s diameter is 15.4-16.1 microns and the average length is 38.5-42 mm, which makes it equal to goat cashmere in terms of quality. The project continues working with herder families in the Gobi region to deliver this exotic fibre of the best quality to appeal to international buyers.
Cashmere, well known as the most luxurious and best quality of luxury fibre, has been the main source of cash income among herders for decades. As the public is now aware that baby camel wool can be as fine as cashmere, there is hope among herders that the value of baby camel wool will increase.
Getting rid of old habits leads to new opportunities
Until recently, herders have prepared camel wool by shearing their camels. Identifying this old habit as the main reason behind the quality issue, the Green Gold Project has decided to introduce combing as a new method for camel wool preparation. In collaboration with researchers and herders, the project first tested this initiative in 2014. The test results proved that combed camel wool has much higher yields of quality fibre and lower hair content.
Camel wool consists of three different fibres: down, coarse hair, and dead hair. The coarse hair from a camel is 1.8-2 times longer than the down fibre. In this new technique, the coarse hair is sheared first. After that, the down fibre is combed from the rest of the wool. This technique helps to considerably reduce the hair content in camel wool. While hair content makes up 0.3% in combed cashmere, it makes up 3% in sheared camel wool. However, this number can be reduced to 1% if camel wool is prepared by combing.
In 2020, around 15 tons of combed baby camel wool is prepared by PUG cooperatives at the national level. The combed wool was supplied to domestic processors and, as a result, soft and luxurious products were made that could compete, from a quality perspective, with cashmere products.
We talked to Ts. Shirnen, one of the best camel herders in the nation, regarding how herders have adopted the new technique of combing baby camel wool. Ts. Shirnen, who is known for having the largest number of camels in Bayankhongor Province, said:
“As I have herded camels for years, I have always been eager to improve the quality of camel wool. Therefore, I have taken some measures to improve the quality of my breed. There are three top camel breed on my farm, such as the “brown” camels from Khanyn Khets, “red” camels from Galba Gobi, and “double-maned” camels from Tukhum Tungalag. We also have another breed of camel, the origin of which is not yet defined. The reason for putting more focus on the breeds is to bring the quality of camel wool up to the quality of cashmere. Because baby camel wool can be as fine as cashmere, herders have started preparing camel wool more responsibly. My family combs around 200 baby camels every year. The yield from each baby camel is approximately 1.5 kilos. We have used this approach for camel wool preparation for two years. Combing baby camels can actually be much more difficult compared to combing goats. Considering the level of work involved in combing baby camels, we hope that the value of camel wool will increase. In the future, if good quality fibre (of cashmere quality) is collected not only from baby camels, but also from adult camels, herders would slaughter less camels for their meat.”
Branding a one-year-old baby camel
According to a project study conducted in 2014, one-year-old baby camel wool can be as fine as cashmere. According to the results of this study, the diameter of fibre from one-year-old baby camels was 16.3 microns and fibre from two-year-old baby camels is between 17-18 microns. This shows that wool from one-year-old baby camels can be competitive with cashmere, the diameter of which is around 16.5 microns.
In order to introduce camel wool as a substitute for cashmere, thereby increasing the value of camel wool, the project is encouraging herders to comb one-year-old baby camels. Regarding the demand from domestic processors for baby camel wool, V. Bolormaa, a textile specialist at the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, said:
“If only one-year-old baby camels are combed, 50-60 tons could be prepared at the national level. Of course, this is not a huge number when compared to cashmere, which is around 8,000 tons annually at the national level. This shows the rarity of this unique fibre from baby camels. Therefore, this exotic fibre should be utilised for making only expensive and luxurious products. It is crucial to prepare raw materials properly and make improvements in primary processing. It is important not to mix camel wool with other types of wool at the factory. It is also crucial not to make mistakes during the scouring and de-hairing processes. The processors have to be careful at each stage of processing baby camel wool. In order to increase the value of camel wool, we need to put this exotic and luxurious fibre, which is specially prepared through combing, into production and promote it in the international market. We could increase the number of environmentally friendly camel herds by adding value to their fibre”.
In general, the dyeing of camel wool is difficult because coarse hair does not take any colouring and the coarse hair content of camel wool is much higher compared to goat cashmere (goat cashmere 0.15-0.25%, camel wool 3.5-4.5%). As this makes the colour look tainted and unclean, domestic processing companies were not in favour of dyeing camel wool. However, combed baby camel wool contains only 0.2-0.5% of coarse hair, which should make dyeing possible.
With the successful dyeing of baby camel wool, the Green Gold Project has provided manufacturers with the opportunity to make garments that equal cashmere not only in softness but also in range of colour. This offers the chance to establish a competitive and more sustainable alternative to cashmere in the national and international fashion and textile markets. This will greatly support the intended reduction in the use of cashmere and, correspondingly, in the goat population at the national level.

Turquoise Hills profit jumps 41% on higher production www.reuters.com

Canada’s Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd posted a 41.4% rise in quarterly profit on Monday, helped by higher copper prices and increased production of copper and gold at its Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia.
The results come a week after Chief Executive Officer Ulf Quellmann resigned amid a protracted dispute between the company and its top shareholder, Rio Tinto, over funding for the underground expansion of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine.
Mongolia had sought an agreement with Rio to cancel the deal underpinning the mine’s underground expansion, saying rising costs and project delays had eroded the expected benefits.
Oyu Tolgoi is one of the world’s largest copper-gold-silver mines. Rio owns 51% of Turquoise Hill, which in turn owns 66% of the mine. The rest of the mine is owned by government of Mongolia.
Copper production rose 26.4% to 41.6 thousand tonnes in the fourth quarter, while gold production surged 266.7% to 88 thousand ounces.
Rio Tinto-controlled Turquoise Hill said income attributable to owners of the company was $159.9 million, or 79 cents per share, for the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with $113.1 million, or 56 cents per share, a year earlier.

Covid vaccines: How fast is progress around the world? www.bbc.com

More than 300 million doses of the coronavirus vaccines have been administered, in more than 100 countries worldwide.
However, there are vast differences in the pace of progress in different parts of the world.
Some countries have secured and delivered doses to a large proportion of their population - but many more are still waiting for their first shipments to arrive.
This information is regularly updated but may not reflect the latest totals for each country. Total vaccinations refers to the number of doses given, not the number of people vaccinated. It is possible to have more than 100 doses per 100 population as some vaccines require two doses per person.

Short presentational grey line
Who is receiving vaccines?
With an aim to give doses to nearly every adult around the world, this is the largest-scale vaccination programme in history.
The US and China have administered the highest number of doses, 90 million and 52 million respectively.
The UK ranks third, with more than 23 million.
But while nearly all of Europe and the Americas have begun vaccination campaigns, only a handful of African countries have.
Many poorer countries are relying on deliveries from Covax, an international scheme led by the World Health Organization (WHO) which is trying to ensure everyone in the world has access to a Covid vaccine.
Ghana became the first country to receive vaccines through this programme on 24 February.
Covax plans to deliver about two billion vaccine doses globally by the end of the year, but many vaccines require two doses per person.
Which vaccines are in use?
The vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech was the first approved by the WHO.
It is still the vaccine being given in the most countries, but several others have been approved for use.

US urges IT network firms to secure controls after cyberattack www.aljazeera.com

The White House has urged computer network operators to take further steps to gauge whether their systems were affected amid a hack of Microsoft Corp’s Outlook email program, saying a recent software patch still left serious vulnerabilities.
“This is an active threat still developing and we urge network operators to take it very seriously,” a White House official said on Sunday, adding that top US security officials were working to decide what next steps to take following the breach.

US charges three North Koreans for major hacks and cyber-thefts
North Korea ‘tried to hack’ Pfizer for COVID-19 vaccine
US TV network CNN on Sunday separately reported that the Biden administration was forming a task force to address the hack. The White House official, in a statement, said the administration was making “a whole of government response”.
While Microsoft released a patch last week to shore up flaws in its email software, the remedy still leaves open a so-called back door that can allow access to compromised servers and perpetuating further attacks by others.
“We can’t stress enough that patching and mitigation is not remediation if the servers have already been compromised and it is essential that any organisation with a vulnerable server take measures to determine if they were already targeted,” the White House official said.
An unidentified source told the Reuters news agency that more than 20,000 US organisations had been compromised by the hack, which Microsoft has blamed on China.
Asked about Microsoft’s attribution of the attack to China, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said on Wednesday that the country “firmly opposes and combats cyberattacks and cyber-theft in all forms” and suggested that blaming a particular nation was a “highly sensitive political issue”.
The Bloomberg news agency, citing a former senior US official with knowledge of the investigation, reported that the attack has so far claimed 60,000 known victims globally.
Back channels
The back channels for remote access can affect credit unions, town governments and small business and have left US officials scrambling to reach victims, with the FBI on Sunday urging them to contact the law enforcement agency.
The European Banking Authority became one of the latest victims as it said that access to personal data through emails held on the Microsoft server may have been compromised.
Others identified so far include banks and electricity providers, as well as senior citizen homes and an ice cream company, according to Huntress, a US-based firm that monitors the security of customers, in a blog post on Friday.
Those affected appear to host Web versions of Microsoft’s email program Outlook on their own machines instead of cloud providers, possibly sparing many big companies and federal government agencies, records from the investigation suggest.
Microsoft has urged affected clients to apply software updates as soon as possible [File: Dado Ruvic/Reuters]A Microsoft representative on Sunday said it was working with the government and others to help guide customers, and the company urged affected clients to apply software updates as soon as possible.
Neither the company nor the White House has specified the scale of the hack. Microsoft initially said it was limited, but the White House last week expressed concern about the potential for “a large number of victims”.
So far, only a small percentage of infected networks have been compromised through the back door, the source previously told Reuters, but more attacks are expected.
The hacking group, which Microsoft calls Hafnium, appears to have been breaking into private and government computer networks through the company’s popular Exchange email software for a number of months, initially attacking only a small number of victims, according to Steven Adair, the head of US-based Volexity. The cybersecurity company helped Microsoft identify the flaws being used by the hackers for which the software giant issued a fix on Tuesday.
The result is a second cybersecurity crisis coming just months after suspected Russian hackers breached nine federal agencies and at least 100 companies through tampered updates from IT management software maker SolarWinds LLC.
Fragile networks
Both the most recent incident and the SolarWinds attack show the fragility of modern networks and sophistication of state-sponsored hackers to identify hard-to-find vulnerabilities or even create them to conduct espionage. They also involve complex cyberattacks, with an initial blast radius of large numbers of computers which is then narrowed as the attackers focus their efforts, which can take affected organisations weeks or months to resolve.
In the case of the Microsoft bugs, simply applying the company-provided updates will not remove the attackers from a network. A review of affected systems is required, said Charles Carmakal, a senior vice president at FireEye Inc, a US-based cybersecurity company. And the White House emphasised the same thing, including tweets from the National Security Council urging the growing list of victims to carefully comb through their computers for signs of the attackers.
Initially, the hackers appeared to be focusing on high-value intelligence targets in the US, Adair said. About a week ago, everything changed. Other unidentified hacking groups began hitting thousands of victims over a short period, inserting hidden software that could give them access later, he said.
Adair said that other hacking groups may have found the same flaws and began their own attacks – or that China may have wanted to capture as many victims as possible, then sort out which had intelligence value.
Either way, the attacks were so successful – and so rapid – that the hackers appear to have found a way to automate the process. “If you are running an Exchange server, you most likely are a victim,” he said.
Data from other security companies suggest that the scope of the attacks may not end up being quite that bad. Researchers from Huntress examined about 3,000 vulnerable servers on its partners’ networks and found about 350 infections – or just over 10 percent.

China says manufacturing 'greatness' still 30 years away www.bbc.com

China is at least 30 years away from becoming a manufacturing nation of "great power", a government advisor told party delegates on Sunday.
Many observers already see China as the "world's factory" given that more than a third of global output from cars to phones comes from there.
But China's leaders are concerned about its heavy dependence on the US for high-tech products like semiconductors.
"Basic capabilities are still weak" Miao Wei warned on Sunday.
"Core technologies are in the hands of others" and China runs the risk of "being hit in the throat" warned Mr Miao, who was Minister of Industry and Information Technology for a decade.
He is now a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the top advisory body to the government.
Although China still produces a significant amount of consumer and industrial products, its manufacturing output as a share of its economy has declined.
Last year, manufacturing accounted for slightly over a quarter of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the lowest level since 2012.
"The ratio of manufacturing output to GDP has been declining too early and too quickly" Mr Miao said in a speech to CPPCC delegates at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
"China's manufacturing industry has made great achievements in recent years, but the situation of being big but not strong and comprehensive but not good has not been fundamentally changed," Mr Miao added.
Tech battle
China also laid out its draft economic plan for the next five years. It wants to speed up the development of advanced technologies from chips to artificial intelligence.
The initiatives follow repeated blocks on China's access to US technology under the Trump administration. Chinese companies such as Huawei have been cut off from buying critical components.
Establishing its own world-class domestic chip makers has become a top priority for Chinese leaders.
Its five-year plan targets seven strategic areas considered essential to national security and includes AI, quantum computing, neuroscience and aerospace.
The blueprint reiterates China's desire to increase competitiveness in aircraft development, robotics and new-energy vehicles.
