(EnergyAsia, March 6 2012, Tuesday) — Mongolian Mining Corp (MMC) said it has doubled its coal production capacity after receiving approval from the State Commission to start up the second five-million-ton/year module of a coal handling and preparation plant.
 
The US$91 million plant at its Ukhaa Khudag coking coal mine in Mongolia’s South Gobi desert was recently completed after 14 months of construction.

Australia’s Sedgman Ltd undertook the project’s design, procurement of materials and construction management.
 
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed company describes itself as a producer and exporter of high-quality coking coal from its Ukhaa Khudag open-pit coking coal mines in the Tavan Tolgoi and Baruun Naran deposits in South Gobi.
