Road from Tavan Tolgoi to Gashuun Sukhait Border Crossing
INFRASTRUCTURE
The Company has received Cabinet approval to construct a sealed highway
parallel to the Mongolian Mining Corporation (“MMC”) paved road
Currently planned to commence construction in 2013
Design, feasibility and EIA studies about to commence
Combination with MMC paved road will increase capacity and safety
The CHPP will employ “world-class” technologies and processes and is expected to be one of the
largest and most advanced in Asia
Phased construction schedule
— 2 x 10Mtpa phases
Expected commissioning of the first 5Mtpa module by mind 2014 and processing full capacity of
20Mtpa by 2017
Prequalification of EPC contractors has been completed and tender documents issued.
East Tsankhi CHPP
Railroad from Tavan Tolgoi to Gashuun Sukhait
Mongolian Mining Corporation (MMC) has a license to build the rail from Tavan Tolgoi to the Gashuun
Sukhait border crossing. ETT anticipates cooperating in this development.
Design, feasibility and EIA studies completed and construction commenced
ERDENES TAVAN TOLGOI JSC // PAGE 23
INFRASTRUCTURE
Water Supply
Cabinet approved water use permit for Balgasyn Ulaan Nuur (“BUN”) ground water
— Located ~65km west of East Tsankhi coalfield
Estimated water requirements for a 20Mtpa CHPP are ~200 litres/sec
Estimated water requirements for a 300MW Power station are ~20 litres/sec
ETT has been granted permits to use a minimum of 151 litres/sec from BUN
The Group plans to begin construction of water pipeline from BUN to mine site by 1H2013
and intends for the pipeline to be operational prior to commissioning the first CHPP module
targeted for 2014
The Group is currently exploring additional water supplies complementary to BUN
Power Supply
Currently using diesel generator at mine site with plan to connect to the CES Grid to
provide sufficient supply for the Group’s operations until late 2013
The Group is completing a bankable feasibility study to develop and construct its own
300MW (two 150MW modules) power plant to meet its long-term power requirements
The power plant will be sufficient to supply all of East and West Tsankhi operation at steady
state production with excess capacity to be sold to other mines in the region, to the
Mongolian Central Grid and potentially to China via the OT Inner Mongolia grid connection
