IVANHOE MINES LTD.




Attention Business/Financial Editors:

Ivanhoe Mines announces Q1 2005 results, including a record operating profit of US$9.5 million
VANCOUVER, May 13 /CNW/ - Ivanhoe Mines today released its results for
the first-quarter of 2005.
Revenue from mining operations in the first quarter of 2005 (Q1`05)
increased to US$15.1 million, up from US$9.4 million in the first quarter of
2004 (Q1`04). The company generated a record operating profit of
US$9.5 million in Q1`05, up 70% from US$5.6 million in Q1`04.
Ivanhoe reported a net loss of US$19.6 million (7 cents US per share) in
Q1`05, compared to a net loss of US$32.4 million (12 cents US per share) in
Q1`04. The decrease in net loss between the two quarters is mainly due to
higher copper production and prices in Q1`05, as well as higher iron ore
pellet prices received in Q1`05.
In Q1`05, Ivanhoe continued with its conservative accounting policy of
expensing its exploration and development costs in the period in which they
are incurred. Exploration and development expenses in Q1`05 totalled
US$24.4 million, compared to US$20.7 million in Q1`04.

Summary of key points
---------------------

OYU TOLGOI COPPER-GOLD PROJECT, MONGOLIA

On May 3, 2005, a new independent resource estimate was released by AMEC
Americas Limited, based on drilling results up to mid-April, 2005. The new
AMEC report (see Ivanhoe`s May 3, 2005, release) estimates that the Oyu Tolgoi
Project now contains measured and indicated resources totalling 1.15 billion
tonnes grading 1.30% copper and 0.47 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (a copper
equivalent grade of 1.54%), at a 0.60% copper equivalent cut-off. The new
estimate represents a 125% increase in measured and indicated tonnes, a 357%
increase in contained copper and an 85% increase in contained gold since
AMEC`s last resource estimate released in August, 2004.
In addition to the indicated resources, the Oyu Tolgoi Project contains
inferred resources of 1.16 billion tonnes grading 1.02% copper and 0.23 g/t
gold (a copper equivalent grade of 1.16%) at a 0.60% copper equivalent
cut-off.
Subsequent to the May, 2005, AMEC resource estimate, step-out drilling on
the Hugo North Deposit has extended the high-grade copper mineralization an
additional 450 metres to the northeast onto the Ivanhoe-Entrée Gold
joint-venture property that is contiguous with, and directly north of,
Ivanhoe`s 100%-owned Oyu Tolgoi Project. The recent drilling has extended the
strike length of the Hugo North copper-gold discovery to greater than
2.2 kilometres. Hugo North is part of the 6.5-kilometre-long chain of copper
and gold deposits discovered to date by Ivanhoe at Oyu Tolgoi. The copper and
gold mineralization intersected in holes EGD006, EGD006A and EGD008 drilled to
date on the Ivanhoe-Entrée Gold joint-venture property was not used in the
recent AMEC resource estimate, with the result that the resource block model
for Hugo North extended only to the Ivanhoe-Entrée Gold joint-venture property
boundary.
Ivanhoe plans to release its Integrated Development Plan for Oyu Tolgoi
late in Q2`05. Management expects that the Integrated Development Plan, which
assumes a minimum 40-year mine life, will present an informative, overall
picture of the future development of the Oyu Tolgoi Project, especially given
the recent exploration success in Hugo North. To bring the underground
resources into a proven and probable category for feasibility purposes, actual
underground development and characterization within the Hugo Dummett Deposits
is required. The planned 1,200-metre-deep exploration shaft, currently being
developed by the Redpath Group of North Bay, Ontario, Canada, and subsequent
horizontal development is being undertaken to accomplish this requirement.
When completed, the shaft will provide access to both the Hugo North and
Hugo South Deposits for the purpose of completing detailed feasibility
studies, further resource delineation drilling, and rock characterization
work. The target completion date of the shaft-sinking is early 2007, with
underground drifting and drilling occurring in 2007 and early 2008.

NARIIN SUKHAIT COAL PROJECT, MONGOLIA

In February, 2005, Ivanhoe initiated a resource-delineation drilling
program at the company`s 100%-owned Nariin Sukhait coal exploration project,
located along the strike extensions of the operating Nariin Sukhait coal mine.
The mine, owned and operated by a Mongolian-Chinese joint venture company,
reportedly produced approximately 1.5 million tonnes of bituminous coal in
2004 for export to China. Ivanhoe`s objective of the first phase of its drill
program is to delineate an initial coal resource to provide the basis to
commence a commercial mining operation.

BRONZE FOX PROJECT, MONGOLIA

In April, 2005, Ivanhoe announced that it had completed its Induced
Polarization (IP) geophysical survey at the Bronze Fox district gold-copper
discovery in southern Mongolia, and would commence a diamond drilling program
on the project in mid-May.
Ivanhoe`s multi-rig drill program will initially focus on the central
Bronze Fox prospect, one of several gold-rich copper porphyry targets
discovered by Ivanhoe`s exploration team last year. Drilling will test
high-grade gold-copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with sheeted
quartz veins, where a recent IP survey delineated a continuous chargeability
anomaly approximately 1,500 metres long. The anomaly varies in width from 200
to 400 metres.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH MITSUI & CO. OF JAPAN

On March 30, 2005, Ivanhoe announced the formation of a strategic
alliance with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of Japan. The purpose of the alliance is for
the two companies to jointly develop copper/gold and coal projects in
Mongolia`s South Gobi Region and to deliver transportation, electrical energy
and other infrastructure services related to these projects.

MONYWA COPPER PROJECT JOINT VENTURE, MYANMAR

In Q1`05, cathode production from Monywa`s S&K mine totalled 9,603 tonnes
(Ivanhoe`s share being 4,802 tonnes) representing a 25% increase over the same
period in 2004. During the quarter, operating profit from the mine totalled
US$9.5 million compared to US$5.6 million in Q1`04.
The average copper price received by the joint venture for cathode sales
in Q1`05 was US$1.56 a pound, up from US$1.20 a pound in Q1`04. Cost of
operations in Q1`05 was 39 cents (US) per pound, up from 31 cents (US) per
pound in Q1`04 due to increased costs for electricity and chemicals in Q1`05.
The expansion of Monywa`s production capacity to 39,000 tonnes of copper
cathode a year was completed in Q4`04. A further expansion to 50,000 tonnes a
year - a further 28% increase - is now scheduled to be completed by mid-2006.
In February, 2005, the Monywa joint venture`s original US$90 million
non-recourse debt balance was reduced to US$7.5 million. The balance of the
loan is scheduled to be repaid in full in August, 2005.

SALE OF SAVAGE RIVER, AUSTRALIA

In February, 2005, the company sold the Savage River operations for
guaranteed cash payments of US$21.5 million plus a series of contingent,
annual payments based on future pellet prices. These future payments, to be
made over a five-year period, will begin in March, 2006. Ivanhoe expects to
receive cumulative payments totalling approximately US$44 million by the end
of March, 2006, and additional future contingent annual considerations, based
on future iron ore prices and Savage River`s metal production.

CLONCURRY PROJECT, AUSTRALIA

In Q1`05, Ivanhoe announced the discovery of a new deposit of a
potentially significant iron oxide copper-gold mineralization at the Swan
prospect. The new discovery, located 600 metres southwest of the former Mount
Elliott gold and copper mine, has a 300-metre-wide by 400-metre-long magnetic
anomaly signature. A total of six diamond drill holes, one of which reached a
depth of at least 350 metres below surface, encountered chalcocite and gold
mineralization. The mineralization is open-ended along strike and to depth.
Ivanhoe`s management believes that the area has excellent potential to host
large-scale, high-grade iron oxide copper and gold deposits similar to the
nearby Ernest Henry Mine, or the Olympic Dam Mine, in South Australia.
Ivanhoe`s results for the first three months of 2005 are contained in the
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management`s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, available on the
SEDAR website at www.sedar.com and Ivanhoe`s website at www.ivanhoemines.com.
Ivanhoe shares are listed on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges
under the symbol IVN.

Entree Gold arranges equity sale to Rio Tinto unit
2005-06-20 10:41 ET - News Release
Ms. Mona Forster reports
Entree Gold Inc. has entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Rio Tinto PLC under
which Rio Tinto will acquire an initial 9.9-per-cent equity position in Entree, with the
right to increase that position to 19.8 per cent of Entree`s issued common shares.
Greg Crowe, Entree`s president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are
delighted to have Rio Tinto as a strategic partner. This placement not only provides
Entree with funding it will need to pursue its wholly owned projects in Mongolia, it also
establishes a new relationship with one of the world`s mining giants. We look forward to
the mutually beneficial exploration and development of our Mongolian projects."
Tim Moody, exploration director, Rio Tinto mining & exploration, commented, "Rio
Tinto is very pleased with its investment in Entree and with the prospectivity of the
Entree property portfolio."
The private placement
In total, Entree will sell to Rio Tinto`s wholly owned subsidiary, Kennecott Canada
Exploration Inc., up to 6,306,921 units, at a price of $2.20 each. Each unit consists of one
common share and two share purchase warrants (an A warrant and a B warrant). Two A
warrants may be exercised to purchase one additional Entree common share at a price of
$2.75 for two years, and two B warrants may be exercised to purchase one additional
Entree common share at a price of $3 for two years.
The financing is expected to close in two tranches, the first of which will be the
placement to Kennecott of 5,665,730 units, for gross proceeds of $12,464,606. The
second tranche will consist of placements to Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., should it elect to
exercise its right, under its equity participation and earn-in agreement with Entree, to
maintain its existing percentage ownership of Entree common shares, and to Kennecott to
allow it to maintain its 9.9-per-cent ownership of Entree`s common shares, after any such
purchase by Ivanhoe. Based on Entree`s current understanding of Ivanhoe`s securities
holdings in Entree, this could result in the issuance by Entree, in the second tranche, of
up to 1,235,489 units to Ivanhoe and up to an additional 641,191 units to Kenecott, for
additional gross proceeds to Entree of up to $4,128,696.
Additional terms
Entree`s agreement includes provisions pursuant to which Rio Tinto will be entitled to
maintain its proportional equity interest in future financings by Entree and will vote its
shares in support of certain matters at meetings of Entree shareholders.
In addition, Entree has agreed to give Rio Tinto a right of first refusal on its wholly
owned Ulziit Uul property in southern Mongolia. Ulziit Uul is located approximately 120
kilometres from Entree`s Lookout Hill property and is adjacent to Ivanhoe`s Kharmagtai
property. Entree is currently exploring the property to establish copper-gold drill targets
and expects to commence drilling in August.
The proceeds of the private placement will be used to finance drilling and other
exploration work on Entree`s Mongolian projects and to provide working capital. A
finder`s fee will be paid by Entree on units purchased by Kennecott. The private
placement is subject to securities regulatory approval.
We seek Safe Harbor.

Erstaunlich wie wenig Beiträge es zu Ivanhoe gibt. Ich bin heute durch einen Artikel in der WiWo auf den Laden aufmerksam geworden. Der Vorstand sagt, dass wenn die Förderung im Jahr 2007 beginnt , die Monglei für dieses Jahr ein Wirtschaftswachstum von 100% (!) aufweisen wird.

Die Vorkommen an Kupfer und Gold in dem Gebiet sollen dabei einen Wert von ca. 100 Mrd. $ haben.

Nun denn............

[DeltaComet]

den berihct in der wirtschaftswoche habe ich auch gelesen.
investitionen von 100 millionen, und angeblich rohstoffe im wert von 100 milliarden liegen im boden!
hört sich richtig geil an, nur wenn daß alles so super ist, warum ist dann der aktienkurs in den letzten eineinhalb jahren dann um über 60% gefallen, obwohl rohstoffaktien im moment absolut in mode sind?

irgendwas sagt mir, finger weg da stimmt was nicht.

[Vampirchen]

[posting]17.257.672 von DeltaComet am 17.07.05 21:01:16[/posting]Gute Fragen warum?

Vielleicht hat jemand vom Management ein paar versilbert.
Oder vielleicht haben sie einen Splitt 1:2 gemacht. Daraus würde sich dann ein optisches minus von 50% ergeben. Leider
(oder gut) bin ich erst nachher eingestiegen und verfolge die Aktie noch nicht so lange. Vielleicht weiß jemand mehr?
Wäre schön wenn dazu ein Feedback käme.

[posting]18.187.364 von BarondeWulf am 08.10.05 08:24:05[/posting]..eigentlich wirklich verwunderlich, dass so geringes Interesse an der Aktie herrscht. Fange gerade erst an, zu recherchieren. Co-op mit Placer, die sind Übernahme - Kandidat von ´nem ganz großen und selbst recht groß.

Cheers,
TJ

[Vampirchen]

[posting]18.852.546 von THEJACK am 17.11.05 14:16:19[/posting]Ja sicher, Placer Dome in JV mit IVN. Placer wird jetzt von Barrick Gold übernommen. Goldcorp mischt da auch noch mit, alles Kanadier. Ich kann nicht begreifen, dass das Interesse an Ivanhoe so schwach -zumindest im Board- ist.
Denn sonst sind die Aussichten für diese Firma "goldig."
Deine angekündigte Recherche würde mich sehr interessieren. Was machen die Eisenerzfunde 50 km von der chinesischen Grenze? Ivanhoe müsste sich dumm und dämlich verdienen. Aber die Aktie schwankt nur von 5,50 - 6,50.
Ich halte aber trotzdem sehr viel von denen. Ich habe Zeit.

[Vampirchen]

[posting]18.187.364 von BarondeWulf am 08.10.05 08:24:05[/posting]Hallo Baron,

ist Toxit gut oder schlecht für Ivanhoe?

Ich bin der Meinung schlecht kann er doch nicht sein, die liefern gute Quartalsergebnisse ab und befinden sich doch in einer sehr guten Position mit Kohle/Eisenerz 50 km von der chinesischen Grenze und Kupfer, das mit Sicherheit so schnell nicht stark korrigiert. Auch hier sind die langfristigen Aussichten hervorragend. .....und Gold haben sie auch. Also, es kann nur aufwärts gehen, oder das Management taugt nichts.

[Vampirchen]

[posting]16.574.357 von Vampirchen am 10.05.05 17:25:52[/posting]Ich kann meinen Thread auch weiter allein aufrecht erhalten. Jetzt stellt sich die Frage, wann springt sie über die 7,00 €/ oder 10,00 CAD-Marke? Momentan ist sie bei 9,40. Ausbruch wäre dann geschafft.!!!!!!!!!

Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.: New Mineral Resource Estimate Adds 281 Million Tonnes of High-Grade Inferred Resources to the Hugo North Copper-Gold Deposit in Mongolia
Wednesday February 1, 9:08 am ET

ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2006--John Macken, President of Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN - News; NYSE:IVN - News), announced today that a new Mineral Resource estimate prepared by Ivanhoe under the supervision of AMEC Americas Limited (AMEC), and endorsed by AMEC, has delineated an additional Inferred resource for the northern-most portions of the Hugo North Deposit that is continuing to be expanded by ongoing exploration drilling at Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia`s South Gobi region.

ADVERTISEMENT
The new estimate, based on eight months of drilling to January 13, 2006, adds:

- At a 0.6% copper equivalent cut-off grade - 281 million tonnes of inferred resources at an average grade of 1.49% copper and 0.51 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (a copper equivalent grade of 1.82%).

- At a higher 2% copper equivalent cut-off grade - 87 million tonnes of inferred resources at an average grade of 2.62% copper and 1.19 g/t gold (a copper equivalent grade of 3.38%).

The Oyu Tolgoi Complex (Ivanhoe`s 100% owned Oyu Tolgoi Property and the adjoining Ivanhoe/Entree joint venture Shivee Property) now contains:

- Proven and Probable open-pit reserves of 930 million tonnes, with a grade of 0.50% copper and 0.36 g/t gold, containing 8.9 billion pounds of recovered copper and 7.6 million ounces of recovered gold. The reserve estimate was prepared by GRD Minproc Limited in January 2006 (see Ivanhoe`s January 30, 2006, news release) based on Net Smelter Return (NSR) cut-offs equal to a copper equivalent cut-off of 0.3%. The Southern Oyu resources are calculated at a copper equivalent cut-off of 0.3% in the GRD Minproc Mineral Reserve estimate....

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Vampirchen]

Nur für diejenigen, die Ivanhoe interessant finden:

Der vor kurzem erfolgte Kurssturz hat sich ergeben

1. weil just in dem Moment, als die Rohstoffmärkte ausgeatmet haben,

2. die Mongolei bzw. deren Regierung eine Steuer eingeführt hat, die Gold und Kupfer betrifft. Und zwar ab 1 US Dollar Kupfer soll die Besteuerung wirksam werden. Momentan ist Kupfer über 3 US Dollar und weiter die Feinunze Gold soll ab 500 US Dollar besteuert werden. Nachdem Ivanhoe in seinen Berechnungen von Kupferpreisen von 1 US Dollar und 400 US Dollar beim Gold ausgegangen ist, steht der Inbetriebnahme der Mine auch die Steuer nicht im Wege. Somit lt. Friedland keine Bedenken, dass die Mine nicht in Produktion geht. Alles im grünen Bereich. Mit der Steuer ist ja schließlich gerechnet worden. Nur kam die Mitteilung zum denkbar ungünstigsten Zeitpunkt.

[mao_1]

Der Chart sieht derzeit echt mies aus.

Ivanhoe Mines eyes Mongolia contract after new law approved, concerns linger
Mon Jul 10, 5:53 PM



By Craig Wong


VANCOUVER (CP) - Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN) is eyeing an investment contract for its massive copper-gold project in Mongolia after the approval of a new Minerals Law over the weekend, but concerns linger about that country's "windfall profits" tax.


Ivanhoe president and chief executive John Macken said he did not expect the tax to compromise the company's plans, but he was disappointed it had remained an unamended statute and that it sent a negative message to foreign investors.


"There have been widespread calls from the business community and members of parliament, including the prime minister and members of cabinet, for the repeal of the tax," Macken said in a statement Monday.


"We expect that the parliament will address the excessive and now redundant measures within this law in due course."


The company said the effective price at which the tax will apply to copper from its massive Oyu Tolgoi project is approximately $1.45 per pound, but will not apply to the gold content because the mine will be a producer of copper concentrate. The tax will not apply to smelted copper.


HSBC analyst Victor Flores suggested the final details have yet to be worked out, but any sort of windfall tax would discourage international investment.


"I can understand the Mongolians see that as a way to encourage the construction of smelters in the country, but quite frankly you have to create incentives not threaten people with disincentives," Flores said from New York.


Flores, who has a "neutral" rating on the stock, said the real shame is even if there are some sort of allowances, the windfall tax will make it more difficult to fund the project.


"No matter how much the company goes around saying 'Guys, really don't worry, it's not that bad,' the market is still going to be worried because the market is going to be asked to write a big cheque," he said.


Ivanhoe is looking to wrap up negotiations on a tax and infrastructure framework for the development of the mine in Mongolia's South Gobi region.


The revised Minerals Law, approved Saturday, doubles the period to be covered by an investment contract, formerly known as a stability agreement, to 30 years for projects requiring an investment of more than $300 million US.


Previous discussions between Ivanhoe and the government have focused on an agreement that would create a stable tax and royalty environment, cover arrangements for essential infrastructure, including roads, the supply of interim and long-term electrical power, and confirm the company's commitments to maximize opportunities to educate, train and employ Mongolians.


The amendments also give the Mongolian government the option to acquire interests in mineral deposits deemed to be "strategic," and the extent of state participation will be determined in part on a project-by-project basis.


The final texts will be made available by the government during coming weeks. Legislative changes approved by the Mongolia's parliament in recent weeks include:


-A new single-rate royalty for all metals of five per cent, which doubles the previous 2.5 per cent rate that applied to copper and hard-rock gold.


-A five percentage-point reduction in the corporate income tax, to 25 per cent.


-An increase in the term of an exploration licence to nine years from seven years.

-The maximum mining licence term reduced to 70 years from 100.

Ivanhoe Mines stock closed Monday at $7.20 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Ivanhoe Mines Q2 loss widens to $40.3 million US
Tue Aug 15, 8:12 AM



SINGAPORE (CP) - Canadian miner Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN), which operates in Mongolia and other parts of Asia, widened its losses in the second quarter on higher exploration expenses and other charges.

The Vancouver miner, which has its Asian office in Singapore, reported Tuesday it lost $40.3 million US or 12 cents a share for the three months ended June 30. That compared with a loss of $25.2 million or eight cents for the same 2005 period.


The company, which reports in U.S. dollars, said its larger loss reflected a $6.1 million increase in exploration expenses to $39.9 million from $33.8 million. As wll the company also faced a $3.5 million increase in stock compensation expense and a $10.2 million decrease in income from the Monywa Copper joint venture as well as a $3 increase in foreign exchange gains.


Ivanhoe Mines said it is continuing to make significant progress in developing its copper, gold and coal resources in southern Mongolia and is working on the startup of its Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine.

Ivanhoe Mines and Rio Tinto Form Strategic Partnership to Develop Mongolian Copper-Gold Resources

Rio Tinto to Make a Staged Investment of Up to US$1.5 Billion in Ivanhoe Mines to Fund Construction of the Oyu Tolgoi Mining Complex

LONDON, ENGLAND and ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA--(CCNMatthews - Oct. 18, 2006) - Robert Friedland, founder and Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines, and John Macken, Ivanhoe's President and CEO, announced today that world mining leader Rio Tinto has agreed to form a strategic partnership by investing in Ivanhoe and, through an Ivanhoe-Rio Tinto Technical Committee, will jointly engineer, construct and operate Ivanhoe's Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mining complex in Mongolia's South Gobi region. The agreement creates a defined path for Rio Tinto to become the largest shareholder in Ivanhoe Mines.

Provisions of the agreement between Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN)(NYSE:IVN)(NASDAQ:IVN) and London-based Rio Tinto (NYSE:RTP)(LSX:RIO)(ASX:RIO) require Rio Tinto to make an immediate investment in the equity of Ivanhoe Mines of approximately US$303 million (CDN$345 million), an amount that will increase, under defined conditions, to up to approximately US$1.5 billion (CDN$1.7 billion).

"This partnership with Rio Tinto is the most significant strategic step in Ivanhoe's 13-year history," Mr. Friedland said.

"We have long believed that the right partnership would bring important benefits to the Oyu Tolgoi project, the people of the South Gobi region and all of Mongolia. We said in a formal statement three years ago that Ivanhoe was evaluating strategic partnerships with qualified companies that had relevant experience and resources to help ensure completion of a successful mining complex at Oyu Tolgoi. Today's announcement marks the realization of that vision."

Tom Albanese, Rio Tinto Director, Group Resources, who will be joining the Ivanhoe board of directors as part of this transaction, said today: "Rio Tinto is pleased to be able to gain an interest in the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold resource and to be able to bring its world-class operating and technical capability to the Oyu Tolgoi project. We also look forward to taking part in negotiations with the Mongolian Government in the near future on the long-term Investment Agreement for the project."

Rio Tinto's investment will be structured in the following stages:

- Rio Tinto immediately will take up an initial private placement of 37.1 million Ivanhoe shares at a price of US$8.18 (CDN$9.31), representing a premium of 30% to Ivanhoe's 20-day moving-average share price of US$6.29. The premium to the closing price on October 17, 2006, is 25%. This investment will give Rio Tinto 9.95% of Ivanhoe Mines' issued share capital as enlarged by the placement, for a total investment of US$303 million (CDN$345 million). Consequently, Ivanhoe's cash position will exceed US$400 million.

- Rio Tinto will take up a second tranche private placement following the satisfactory conclusion of an Investment Agreement between Ivanhoe and the Mongolian Government. Rio Tinto has the option to exercise the second tranche earlier. This second tranche will consist of 46.3 million shares at a subscription price of US$8.38 (CDN$9.54), giving total proceeds to Ivanhoe of a further US$388 million (CDN$442 million). The subscription price represents a 33% premium to Ivanhoe's 20-day moving-average share price of US$6.29, and 28% to the closing price on October 17, 2006. Together, these two placements, and an additional top-up right, will give Rio Tinto up to 19.9% of Ivanhoe's enlarged issued share capital for a total combined investment of at least US$691 million (CDN$787 million).

- In addition to the private placements, Rio Tinto also will be granted non-transferable warrants over approximately 92 million Ivanhoe shares - in two equal tranches of approximately 46 million shares - at various exercise prices. When exercised, the warrants will result in additional funds to Ivanhoe of up to US$808 million (CDN$920 million) that, when combined with the private placements, will total approximately US$1.5 billion (CDN$1.7 billion). These warrants entitle Rio Tinto to increase its interest in Ivanhoe to up to 33.35% of the company's fully diluted share capital. Exercise of the warrants is conditional on the approval of Ivanhoe shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened in the near future.

Ivanhoe has agreed to use at least 90% of the proceeds received from Rio Tinto to finance the development of Oyu Tolgoi.

Completion of this transaction is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

Rio Tinto's broad experience with best industry practices to benefit Mongolia

Mr. Friedland said that the Ivanhoe board of directors recognized that Rio Tinto's corporate leadership in mining and sustainable development, with the Group's international investment origins in British and Australian business going back more than 100 years, will bring worldwide attention to the development of Mongolia as a democratic and rapidly developing Asian economy.

"Today, Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe are committing to the continued application of best industry practices at Oyu Tolgoi, which is bringing thousands of new jobs, social benefits and sound environmental management to Mongolia, delivering on the South Gobi region's economic promise while respecting long-established cultural values and supporting local communities."

The partnership agreement also provides that Ivanhoe and the Mongolian Government will have access to Rio Tinto's expertise in developing and operating world-class mines.

In addition, Rio Tinto immediately will join Ivanhoe in current talks with the Mongolian Government for a long-term Investment Agreement that will confirm a tax, legal and fiscal framework for the development of the Oyu Tolgoi project. A working group of government officials was appointed last month to work with Ivanhoe and prepare a draft Investment Agreement to be submitted for cabinet consideration.

Mr. Friedland said that several of the world's largest mining companies had initiated discussions with Ivanhoe on partnership proposals in recent years.

"Our board of directors selected Rio Tinto for its technical expertise and its industry-leading experience in underground block caving, as well as its broad experience in coal mining and marketing.

"Our agreement with Rio Tinto greatly strengthens our development team. With Rio Tinto becoming an important, and possibly the largest, shareholder of Ivanhoe, we have taken a major step toward completing the company's emergence as one of the world's leading producers of copper and gold," Mr. Friedland added.

Mine builders working together again

Mr. Macken said that Rio Tinto is one of the most experienced companies in the engineering, design, construction and operation of underground block caves - the advanced mining method that will be used to recover the world-class copper-gold resource from the Hugo Dummett Deposit at Oyu Tolgoi.

"I am looking forward to being closely associated again with Rio Tinto and the same team that I worked with when developing the Deep Ore Zone block-cave mine at Indonesia's Grasberg joint-venture complex, currently the largest copper-gold mine in the world, where I was formerly general manager and a member of the Joint Operating Committee. Rio Tinto also is an owner and member of the operating committee of Escondida in Chile, the world's largest copper mine.

"The partnership between Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe will help to propel Oyu Tolgoi into the ranks of the world's greatest mines, such as Grasberg and Escondida, to the benefit of Mongolia and its people - and the international shareholders of Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto."

Joint Technical Committee established to manage Oyu Tolgoi Project

As part of their agreement, Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe have agreed to cooperate on the construction and operation of Oyu Tolgoi.

In particular:

- Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe immediately will establish a Technical Committee to manage all aspects of the engineering, construction, development and operation of the Oyu Tolgoi complex. The Technical Committee will consist of two members from Ivanhoe, two members from Rio Tinto and a fifth member who will act as committee chairman and senior manager of the Oyu Tolgoi project.

- Mr. Macken, Ivanhoe President and CEO, will serve as Technical Committee chairman and senior project manager for the first five years as the project ramps up to full production. During this period, unanimous consent of all Technical Committee members will be required for certain specified decisions, including acquisitions, budgetary commitments exceeding US$100 million and material amendments to the long-term Oyu Tolgoi mine plan. After five years, Rio Tinto will have the right to appoint the subsequent chairman.

- Rio Tinto will make available, at cost during the first five years, its engineering, mining and metallurgical staff to assist Ivanhoe in the mine planning, engineering, design and construction of the Oyu Tolgoi project. In consultation with the Technical Committee, Rio Tinto also will second appropriate employees to the Oyu Tolgoi project, as required.

Tom Albanese to serve as first Rio Tinto appointee to Ivanhoe board of directors

As part of the private placement agreement, Rio Tinto will nominate directors to the Ivanhoe board in proportion to Rio Tinto's holding of Ivanhoe's issued share capital. Following the first private placement, Rio Tinto will nominate one director.

Rio Tinto's first appointee to the Ivanhoe board is Tom Albanese, Director, Group Resources, and head of Exploration. He was formerly Rio Tinto's chief executive in charge of its copper operations.

Mr. Albanese said Rio Tinto believes that Oyu Tolgoi will be an important project for Mongolia, its economy and its people.

"Wherever we operate in the world, Rio Tinto employs the same high standards of health, safety, environmental performance and community practice.

"The Oyu Tolgoi project will represent a major investment in the country. It will result in increased local employment, the development of important infrastructure in the South Gobi region and can become a catalyst for regional social and economic development."

The private placement agreement requires that when Rio Tinto is entitled to nominate more than one director, half of the company's nominees will be Independent Directors as defined under applicable securities laws to continue to maintain the highest standards of Canadian and US corporate governance practices.

Warrants details and placement conditions

- The warrants will be issued in two equal parallel tranches, each entitling Rio Tinto to purchase up to approximately 46 million newly issued common shares in Ivanhoe. The first tranche, Tranche A, will be exercisable from the date that shareholder approval is obtained for a period ending 12 months after the date of satisfactory completion of the Mongolian Investment Agreement for Oyu Tolgoi. Tranche A will have an exercise price of US$8.38 (CDN$9.54) if exercised before the date six months after the completion of the Mongolian Investment Agreement and US$8.54 (CDN$9.72) if exercised after that date.

- The second tranche, Tranche B, will be exercisable from the date that shareholder approval is obtained for a period ending 24 months after the date of satisfactory completion of the Mongolian Investment Agreement for Oyu Tolgoi, at a price beginning at US$8.38 (CDN$9.54) and increasing at six-month intervals after the completion of the Mongolian Investment Agreement to US$8.54 (CDN$9.72), US$8.88 (CDN$10.11) and US$9.02 (CDN$10.26) per share. If fully exercised, the two warrant tranches will result in proceeds to Ivanhoe of between US$771 million and US$808 million (CDN$878 million and CDN$920 million), depending upon the timing of their exercise.

- Ivanhoe will seek the approval of its shareholders as soon as possible. The warrants will be cancelled if they do not receive shareholder approval. Mr. Friedland has undertaken to vote in favour of all shareholder resolutions envisaged by the private placement agreement, including the validity of the warrants.

- Rio Tinto will be entitled to exercise pre-emptive rights to enable Rio Tinto to participate in future issues of Ivanhoe common shares, or securities convertible into common shares, to maintain its percentage shareholding interest in Ivanhoe.

- Ivanhoe has previously announced that it is restructuring the company to enhance asset value for shareholders and generate capital for the development of Oyu Tolgoi and its core Mongolian assets. As part of this restructuring, and as a condition of this transaction, Ivanhoe is negotiating the divestiture of its joint venture interest in the Monywa Copper Project in Myanmar.

Standstill agreement

For a period of five years following closing of the first private placement, Rio Tinto will not be able to acquire more than an additional 6.65% of the issued share capital of Ivanhoe in open market transactions. For greater clarity, including the potential exercise of all warrants issued to Rio Tinto, Rio Tinto shall not exceed an aggregate holding of 40% of the issued share capital of Ivanhoe for five years.

These restrictions on share purchases may be waived with prior agreement from the Ivanhoe board of directors and will not apply in the event that Rio Tinto exercises a right of first refusal to purchase any shares Mr. Friedland might choose to sell to any party other than institutional shareholders during the five-year period. Mr. Friedland, who has continued to hold all of his Ivanhoe shares for the past 13 years, has stated that he has no intention of selling shares. The restriction on share purchases will be waived if a third party announces a takeover offer for Ivanhoe Mines.

Hi,

natürlich wenn man weiß, was hinter Ivanhoe steckt, dann würde ich nirgendwo anders investieren wollen. Sicher gibt es Explorer in der Mongolei die noch weniger bekannt sind als Ivanhoe. Z.B. Entree Gold. Jedoch wer will denn schon gegen das zweitgrößte Kupfer u. Goldvorkommen der Welt konkurrieren?. Wer wirklich Interesse an der Mongolei hat und natürlich Ivanhoe, sollte sich den Bericht " Mongolischer Rohstoffreichtum soll Wohlstand für alle schaffen" einmal durchlesen. www.wiwo.de/pswiwo/fn/ww2/sfn/bm_artikel/bmpara/1567/bmpara/415...

Entree Welcomes US$1.5 Billion Investment by Rio Tinto in Ivanhoe Mines-"A Major Vote of Confidence in Oyu Tolgoi and Mongolia"

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Oct. 19, 2006) - Entree Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG)(AMEX:EGI)(FWB:EKA) ("Entree" or the "Company") welcomes the announcements made yesterday by Rio Tinto (NYSE:RTP)(LSX:RIO)(ASX:RIO) ("Rio Tinto") and Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (TSX:IVN)(NYSE:IVN)(NASDAQ:IVN) ("Ivanhoe"). Rio Tinto has agreed to invest up to US$1.5 billion to acquire up to a 33.35% equity interest in Ivanhoe for the purpose of funding the joint development of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project in Mongolia.

Entree Comment

Entree President and CEO, Greg Crowe, stated: "This is a major vote of confidence by one of the world's pre-eminent mining companies in both the Oyu Tolgoi project and in Mongolia. Ivanhoe now has a strategic partner with sufficient capital resources to take the world's richest porphyry copper-gold project to production."

Mr. Crowe continued: "The development of Oyu Tolgoi will have a profound impact on Entree. The extension to the rich Hugo Dummett ore body has been drilled to the inferred resource status over a strike distance of 625 meters north onto Entree's ground and drilling results suggest the further extension of the deposit to at least 1,300 meters north of the property boundary (see Entree's News Release of February 1, 2006). The initial inferred resource is estimated to contain approximately 6.6 billion pounds of copper and over 3.2 million ounces of gold and defines some of the richest mineralization intersected to date at Oyu Tolgoi."

Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto are the largest shareholders of Entree, holding approximately 15% and 9% of Entree's issued shares respectively. They have the option to increase their positions to approximately 16% each by exercising warrants at C$2.75 per share and C$3.00 per share.

Mongolian Government Investment Agreement

In its news release, Rio Tinto reported that it intended to join Ivanhoe in negotiations with the Mongolian government for a long-term investment agreement. Such an agreement would provide the basis for the financing and development of Oyu Tolgoi. The Mongolian Government appointed a "working group" in September to work with Ivanhoe for the preparation of an agreement for submission to the Mongolian government's cabinet.

Entree Independent Exploration

Entree continues exploration of its 100% owned Lookout Hill property, with three drills operating to the west of Oyu Tolgoi. Ivanhoe currently has one drill on Entree's ground to the north of Entree's Copper Flats resource area. Drilling at the Manlai project, for which Rio Tinto holds a first right of refusal, is nearing completion for this exploration season.

ABOUT ENTREE GOLD INC.
Entree Gold Inc. (www.entreegold.com) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on gold and copper prospects. The Company is a large landholder in Mongolia and has recently acquired an early stage copper porphyry project in Arizona, USA.

Entree holds a 100% interest in mineral concessions comprising the 179,590 hectare Lookout Hill (Shivee Tolgoi) property, which completely surrounds the 8,500 hectare, Turquoise Hill (Oyu Tolgoi) project of Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. ("Ivanhoe").

Under an "Earn-In Agreement" announced in October 2004, Ivanhoe has the right to earn an interest in approximately 40,000 hectares of Entree's Lookout Hill property. Details of the Earn-In Agreement are available on Entree's website at www.entreegold.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Drilling conducted by Ivanhoe as part of the Earn-In Agreement has confirmed the extension of the Hugo North Deposit onto Lookout Hill. An initial inferred resource was estimated at 190,160,000 tonnes (calculated using a 0.6% copper equivalent cut-off), averaging 1.91% copper equivalent, containing over 6.5 billion pounds of copper and 3.2 million ounces of gold (see Entree's news release of February 1, 2006).

Significant investments by Rio Tinto plc and Ivanhoe have contributed to Entree's treasury, which currently exceeds CDN$17 million. Entree plans to use these funds to explore its wholly-owned projects in Mongolia and Arizona, and acquire and explore new projects globally.

Hallo zusammen,

Kennt jemand noch weitere Firmen die in der Mongolei investieren?

Ich habe seit einiger Zeit noch WESTERN PROSPECTOR (A0B8P5) auf meiner watchlist. Laut Firmen-Homepage ebenfalls in der Mongolei zugange. Im Zuge des Ivanhoe-Anstiegs der letzten Tage sind die schön mitgezogen. Allerdings bei sehr geringen (bis gar keinen?) Umsätzen in Deutschland. Und Informationen sind auch dünn. Aber vielleicht lohnt sich hier mal ein näherer Blick.

Gruß & Tschüß

Cons Gulfside to resample Russian-era Undurt findings

2006-10-23 - News Release

Mr. Robert Card reports

CONSOLIDATED GULFSIDE TO RESAMPLE RUSSIAN ERA COPPER-ZINC ANOMALIES IN MONGOLIA

Consolidated Gulfside Resources Ltd. has chosen to start work on its Undurt property located near Erdenet in Mongolia by resampling Russian-era anomalies on its 55,637-hectare granted lease. Russian work, which traditionally has proven highly reliable, had defined three large copper anomalies and one large zinc anomaly. Each anomaly was approximately 2,000 metres by 500 metres. All anomalies were open, since they disappeared under overburden. Resampling for porphyry copper deposits with testing for gold and silver values will commence immediately.

The company has decided to accelerate its work in Mongolia because of the confidence in Mongolian mining shown by the financing agreement, in stages, whereby Rio Tinto Zinc has agreed to finance the further development of Vancouver-based Ivanhoe's (IVN) Mongolian mineral resources to the amount of $1.7-billion. This is one of the largest financings in the history of Canadian-led mining exploration projects, and a huge vote of confidence in Mongolian mineral potential and in the Mongolian economic model.

The Undurt prospect lies in a highly prospective copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry belt that hosts other Permian mineralized porphyry systems. The project area also has uranium anomalies identified in geochemical sampling conducted during the Soviet era that will also be followed up on as part of this program. Furthermore, the company has other significant large mineral leaseholdings in Mongolia.

The Undurt prospect is located approximately 64 kilometres west of the large Erdenet copper-molybdenum mine and 300 kilometres northwest of Ulan Bator. During the year 2005, production from Erdenet Mining Corp. is reported as 126,547 tonnes of copper and 1,188 tonnes of molybdenum in concentrates. Erdenet is the second-largest city in Mongolia, with a population of about 90,000 people.

In other Mongolian activities, the company is negotiating an additional acquisition of a very significant coal deposit which Gulfside is confident may attract interest for establishing the concept of a large, state-of-the-art, coal-fired power generating facility. This would have a power sales base both in Mongolia and in China. Initial negotiations took place early in October and are continuing.

Hi,

aus was für einem Grund ziehst du Gulfside Ivanhoe vor?
Weil die Aktie nur 0,50 cent kostet, oder haben sie evtl.
mehr zu bieten als Ivanhoe??????????????

mehr vielleicht nicht, aber sie sind in der gleichen Gegend in der Mongolei aktiv. Die Felder liegen unmittelbar nebeneinander.

Wie es in der letzten CGL News stand, haben sie auch Uran Anomalien festgestellt - was dies alleine für den Kurs bedeutet, ist ja wohl allen klar


CGL steht noch am Anfang - Ivanhoe ist schon voll dabei, leider auch beim Kurs der Aktie.

Ivanhoe hab ich leider verpasst, aber bei 884069 bin ich drin und hoffe auf den gleichen Kursverlauf wie bei Ivanhoe

heißt es bei der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften

Mongolei-Play an die Hand gegeben, mit dem Sie Ihren Einsatz bereits verdoppeln konnten. CONSOLIDATED
GULFSIDE RESOURCES hat mit dem gigantischen Erdenet-Projekt das Zeug zu einer zweiten
Ivanhoe. Es liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe der gleichnamigen Mine, die unter den fünf größten Kupferbergwerken
in Asien rangiert. Der große Vorteil für die Company mit Sitz in Vancouver:
Erdenet ist die drittgrößte Stadt der Mongolei und mit einer erstklassigen
Infrastruktur ausgestattet! CONSOLIDATED GULFSIDE braucht
sich also nur zu bedienen – ohne viel Geld in die Hand nehmen zu müssen:
Neben Zugang zu Stromkraftwerken und einer Eisenbahnlinie, die diese
Region mit China und Sibirien verbindet, kann die noch junge Explorationsgesellschaft
auch auf ein gut ausgebautes Straßennetz und gut ausgebildete
Arbeitskräfte zurückgreifen. Bohrungen und Produktionen russischer Geologen
Ende der siebziger Jahre lassen auf einen Erzkörper von 1,5 Milliarden
Tonnen mit Konzentrationen von 0,62 Prozent Kupfer und 0,025 Prozent
Molybdän schließen. Das entspricht 9,3 Millionen Tonnen Kupfer und 375 000 Tonnen Molybdän. Im Management
sitzt mit Robert Card ein Mann an der Spitze, der 45 Jahre Markterfahrung, unter anderem bei der Finanzierung
von Rohstoffprojekten, mitbringt. Zwar hat CGL bisher noch nicht mit den Bohrungen begonnen. Dafür
ist die Gesellschaft mit einer Börsenbewertung von gerade einmal zehn Millionen Euro extrem günstig bewertet.
Das Risiko ist damit höher als üblich, doch die Profit-Chancen sind umso spektakulärer. Legen Sie sich eine
kleine Position dieses potenziellen Verdreifachers ins Depot (Kurs aktuell 0,37 Euro, WKN 884 069, Reuters CGL).

GULFSIDE ERWIRBT EIN ´MONSTER´-KOHLENGRUNDSTÃœCK

Vancouver (British Columbia). - 21. Juni 2007 - Robert L. Card, PrÀsidentvon Gulfside Minerals Ltd., (das ´Unternehmen´ oder ´GMG´) teilte mit, dassdas Unternehmen heute einen Vorvertrag (Letter of Intent) mit einerprivaten mongolischen Gesellschaft hinsichtlich des Erwerbs des´Monster´-KohlengrundstÃŒcks im SÃŒdwesten der Mongolei unterzeichnet hat.Das Monster-GrundstÃŒck, das diesen Namen infolge der Anwesenheit massiverKohleflöze mit einer Dicke von bis zu 100 m erhalten hat, befindet sich ca.430 km sÃŒdwestlich der Hauptstadt Ulan Bator und nicht mehr als 200 km vonder chinesischen Grenze entfernt. Das GrundstÃŒck befindet sich in einerEntfernung von 82 km zur Eisenbahnlinie und von 6 km zu einer35KW-Ãœberlandleitung.

Die Geschichte des GrundstÃŒcks reicht zurÃŒck bis 1963, als die erstenUntersuchungen unter Leitung von russischen Geologen durchgefÃŒhrt wurden.1986-87 wurden weitere Erkundungen von den Russen vorgenommen, wobei eingroßes Kohlevorkommen festgestellt wurde. 2006 ließ der gegenwÀrtigeEigentÃŒmer eine Reihe von Löchern bohren, um die Kohleschichten zuerkunden. Die Tiefe der Bohrlöcher lag zwischen 74 m und 240 m, und eswurden vier Kohleflöze mit einer GesamtstÀrke zwischen 41,5 m und 94,9 mfestgestellt. ZusÀtzliche Bohrungen ergaben sogar noch dickere Kohleflöze,wobei der größte Durchschlag 129,3 Meter betrÀgt. Genauere Angaben ÃŒber diepotenziellen Reserven werden nach einer geplanten Untersuchung zurBewertung des Kohlevorkommens und einem NI 43-101-konformen Studienberichtmöglich sein. Zurzeit wird geschÀtzt, dass das GrundstÃŒck bis zu 550Millionen Tonnen Kohle in der mongolischen Kategorie ´C´ sowie einewesentlich größere potenzielle Reserve von bis zu 2,5 Milliarden Tonnen inder Kategorie der möglichen und wahrscheinlichen Vorkommen enthÀlt. DerBereich der ,C´-Kategorie ist um die 6,5 Millionen Quadratmeter groß,wÀhrend der Bereich der LagerstÀtte in der Kategorie?möglich-wahrscheinlich´ 29 Millionen Quadratmeter betrÀgt. Der Preis fÃŒrKohle aus dieser Gegend liegt bei $20-$40 pro Tonne. Es fand keineausreichende ÃœberprÃŒfung durch eine qualifizierte Person statt, um diehistorische SchÀtzung als aktuelle mineralische Ressourcen zuklassifizieren, der Herausgeber dieser Mitteilung behandelt die historischeSchÀtzung nicht als aktuelle mineralische Ressourcen, und die historischeSchÀtzung sollte nicht als zuverlÀssige Größe angesehen werten.

Das Unternehmen wird zusÀtzliche Bohrungen wÀhrend des Sommers durchfÌhren,um Reserven fÌr eine NI 43-101-konforme RessourcenschÀtzung zu ermitteln.

Das Kohlevorkommen hat eine streichende LÀnge in sÃŒdöstlicher Richtung von16-18 km und eine Breite von 6-8 km. Es belegt ein großes Gebiet derErdenetsogt-Senke und des Gobi-Gashuun-Trockenlands, das den größten Teildes Territoriums von Altanshiree Soum bedeckt. Die KohlelagerstÀtte istideal fÃŒr die Planung eines Tagebaus mit sehr hoher KapazitÀt, wobei dieKohlequalitÀt und die ProduktionskapazitÀt fÃŒr die Verschiffung perLastwagen und Zug in sehr großen Mengen geeignet sind. Der Standort kannauch zur Bereitstellung von Brennstoff fÃŒr eine Energieerzeugung im großenUmfang genutzt werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist die Nutzung von KohlefÃŒr die Produktion von FlÃŒssigkeiten wie Diesel und Benzin und die Suchenach dem ´Heiligen Gral´ der Kohlenbranche, nÀmlich der in Situ-Vergasungvon Kohle und dem Einsatz des daraus resultierenden Gases fÃŒr zahlreicheAnwendungen.

Das Unternehmen hat eine Vereinbarung Ìber den Erwerb einer 50-prozentigenBeteiligung an einer privaten Gesellschaft abgeschlossen, die fÌr denBesitz des PachtgrundstÌcks gegrÌndet wurde, mit einer Option zum Erwerbeiner zusÀtzlichen Beteiligung von 16% innerhalb eines Jahrs, was dieBeteiligung somit auf 66% bringen wÌrde. Bei der Produktion ist einegestaffelte NutzungsgebÌhr von 3-5% zu zahlen. Das Unternehmen wird dasProjekt in Eigenregie durchfÌhren. Weitere Einzelheiten werden nach PrÌfungder Transaktion durch die TSX Venture Exchange bekannt gegeben. Dr. MarcBustin, PhD, P.Eng., ist die qualifizierte Person des Unternehmens gemÀß NI43-101 fÌr dieses Projekt und hat auch die vorliegende PressemeldunggeprÌft.

ProjektdurchfÃŒhrung

Das Unternehmen ist dabei, gemÀß relevanten frÌherenUntersuchungsergebnissen AntrÀge auf zusÀtzliche PachtgrundstÌcke zustellen, die die derzeit im Besitz des Unternehmens befindlichen Erdenet-und Khentii-Projekte abrunden sollen.

Das Unternehmen gibt außerdem bekannt, dass die am 24. Mai 2007angekÌndigte Finanzierung durch private Platzierung abgeschlossen wurde undMittel in Höhe von $405.000 fÌr weitere Arbeiten ergab.

Mongolisches Kupfer-Gold-Projekt nimmt Konturen an
MELBOURNE (Dow Jones)--Rio Tinto Ltd und Ivanhoe Mines Ltd sind der geplanten Entwicklung ihres Kupfer-Gold-Vorkommens von Oyu Tolgoi in der Mongolei einen Schritt näher gekommen. Wie Rio Tinto am Donnerstag mitteilte, wird die mongolische Regierung dem Parlament des Landes einen Vertragsentwurf vorlegen, wonach die Mongolei mit 34% an dem Projekt beteiligt sein könnte. Rio Tinto hatte sich 2006 an Ivanhoe beteiligt, und beide wollten das Vorkommen gemeinsam erschließen. Unsicherheiten über das Projekt kamen aber auf, als das mongolische Parlament eine Steuer auf Kupfer und Gold genehmigte und Gesetze verabschiedete, die dem Staat eine Anteilsaufnahme an strategisch wichtigen Bergbauprojekten bis zu einer Höhe von 50% erlauben.

Wie sieht die Antwort der Regierung aus?
Haben sie inzwischen die 34% angenommen oder wollen sie doch bis 50% mehr?

[orezone]

Ivanhoe ist zur Zeit in einer äußerst heiklen Situation. Neben den Unwägbarkeiten mit der mongolischen Regierung, die derzeit am Fließband bereits erteilte Minenlizenzen wieder einzieht (hoffentlich ist die Ivanhoe da schon zu weit mit ihren Verhandlungen), kommt noch der sehr unangenehme Umstand, daß sie erhebliche Teile ihrer Cashposition bei einem insolvenzgefährdeten Anleiheemittenten liegen haben, den die derzeitige Kreditklemme voll ins Mark getroffen hat:

TORONTO (Reuters) - Ivanhoe Mines said on Friday that it has $66.5 million of holdings in Canadian asset-backed commercial paper, representing about 34 percent of its total cash position of about $200 million.

"Of that, $13.8 million is held with funds sponsored by Coventree Capital , the Canadian mineral explorer said. Coventree has been at the heart of the credit crunch in Canada's asset-backed commercial market since it announced earlier this week it couldn't find funds to repay outstanding paper.

Die mongolische Regierung will ihre Minenpolitik völlig neu gestalten, sprich in Zukunft ungleich mehr verdienen. Ivanhoe soll da der letzte "Fall" nach den alten Regularien sein:

"Mongolia does need futher tightnening of her mining laws. Large-scale mining being advocated by companies like Ivanhow Mines is an outdated concept."

Vielen Dank für die höchst brisanten Infos.
Ich dachte eigentlich, dass Ivanhoe durch den Einstieg von Rio Tinto in einer komfortablen Verhandlungsposition gegenüber der Regierung ist. Das mit der Cashposition ist fatal. Wollen wir hoffen, dass sie ihr Geld bekommen, wenn sie es brauchen.!!!
Wie soll man sich nun verhalten? Abwarten oder sich verabschieden.?
Letzteres möchte ich eigentlich überhaupt nicht.

Ivanhoe Mines Secures Interim Convertible Line of Credit of Up to US$350 Million from Rio Tinto
Ivanhoe Welcomes Expanded Rio Tinto Commitment to Development of the Oyu Tolgoi Project
SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE --(Marketwire - Sept. 11, 2007) - John Macken, President and CEO of Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN)(NYSE:IVN)(NASDAQ:IVN), and Peter Meredith, Deputy Chairman, announced today that Ivanhoe Mines has arranged access to up to US$350 million in the form of a non-revolving, convertible credit facility to be provided by Rio Tinto, Ivanhoe's strategic partner in the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project in Mongolia's South Gobi Region.

The credit facility is an interim measure that will help to maintain the momentum of ongoing mine development activities at Oyu Tolgoi while Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto co-operate with Members of the Mongolian Parliament to achieve a satisfactory conclusion of an Investment Agreement between Ivanhoe Mines and the Government of Mongolia as the representative of the national interest.

Mr. Macken said that Ivanhoe welcomed Rio Tinto's expanded commitment and increasing involvement through its industry-leading technical, financial and environmental expertise in support of the Oyu Tolgoi Project.

"Ivanhoe Mines has invested more than $600 million since 2000 in exploration and development activities that have advanced the Oyu Tolgoi project and demonstrated Mongolia's capacity to use its mineral resources to build a robust, diversified economy for its citizens and create thousands of jobs for present and future generations.

"Our preparations for a start on construction of the first of two planned mines at Oyu Tolgoi will result in the spending of more than $40 million a month during the second half of this year if the Investment Agreement is concluded promptly. In the meantime, the protracted legislative process of approving an Investment Agreement to create a long-term, stable tax and regulatory environment in compliance with Mongolian law has prompted us to secure interim financing from our partner," Mr. Macken said.

"The credit facility will permit site preparations and final design to continue through the coming months. It will help to mitigate impacts on the construction schedule while Members of Parliament complete their review of the Investment Agreement. It also will maintain the interests of shareholders, our employees and contractors and suppliers. But we also are facing the reality that without the support and prompt action by Members of Parliament to ensure timely approval of the Investment Agreement, we will have to curtail our investment and suspend much of the planned development work at Oyu Tolgoi."

The draft Investment Agreement that was completed by the Mongolian Government's Working Group and the negotiating team for Ivanhoe Mines and Rio Tinto in April and reviewed by the Cabinet in June currently is before Mongolia's State Great Hural (National Parliament). The draft agreement is being reviewed by a newly established working group comprised of Members of Parliament from the Standing Committee on the Economy, which is expected to report to Parliament's autumn session this year. The parliamentary review and approval are the final steps to complete the Investment Agreement process that started more than eight months ago.

Under its strategic partnership agreement signed with Ivanhoe in October last year, Rio Tinto made an initial investment in the equity of Ivanhoe Mines of approximately US$303 million to acquire a 9.95% interest in Ivanhoe. As part of the 2006 partnership agreement, Rio Tinto also agreed to take up a second tranche private placement, for additional proceeds to Ivanhoe of US$388 million, following the satisfactory conclusion of an Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement with the Government of Mongolia. Amounts drawn down from the non-revolving convertible credit facility announced today, plus accrued interest, may be repaid from the second tranche private placement financing when it occurs, or may be converted.

The 2006 Ivanhoe-Rio Tinto agreement provided that Rio Tinto's investment in Ivanhoe could increase, under defined conditions, to up to approximately US$1.5 billion. Under the 2006 agreement, Rio Tinto was limited to owning no more than 40% of Ivanhoe until October 18, 2011.

However, under the terms of the new credit facility, Rio Tinto's total investment in Ivanhoe may now reach US$2.3 billion. Ivanhoe also has increased the maximum percentage of Ivanhoe equity that Rio Tinto can own in Ivanhoe during the original five-year standstill period, expiring October 18, 2011, to 46.65% from 40%, and granted Rio a right of first offer on future equity placements.

Under the terms of the agreement, Rio Tinto would own 256,247,400 shares of Ivanhoe Mines, representing 43.13% of issued and outstanding shares, if Ivanhoe Mines chooses to take down the maximum amount available under the credit facility and Rio Tinto converts all debt and interest into stock and exercises all of its warrants. Rio Tinto could use market purchases of Ivanhoe stock to make up the balance of the 46.65% permitted under the standstill agreement.

The Rio Tinto line of credit will help to ensure that long lead-time mining equipment such as trucks, tires, electric motors and ball mills, and development work on shafts #1 and #2 at Oyu Tolgoi, will remain on schedule pending a satisfactory conclusion of an Investment Agreement with the Mongolian Government.

The credit facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.3% per annum, payable quarterly. The credit facility matures on, and is repayable in full by, September 12, 2010. Prior to or on maturity, the principal amount of the credit facility, or any portion, will be convertible into common shares of Ivanhoe Mines at the conversion price of US$10 per share, being the five-day volume-weighted average price of the Ivanhoe Mines' shares as of September 10, 2007.

The maximum number of Ivanhoe shares that would be issued under this conversion facility - assuming Ivanhoe makes no cash payments for principal or interest - is 35,000,000 on conversion of principal amount of the credit facility and 10,800,000 on conversion of any remaining accrued interest. In addition, Ivanhoe Mines has granted Rio Tinto Class C warrants to purchase 35 million shares exercisable at US$10.00 and expiring September 12, 2012. These warrants are exercisable on a pro-rata basis to the amount of the credit facility that is drawn down.

Ivanhoe Mines has agreed to use no less than 95% of the proceeds from the credit facility exclusively on the Oyu Tolgoi Project in accordance with an Operations Budget and Plan, which is to be mutually agreed to by Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto. No part of the credit facility will be spent on any project located outside Mongolia. If there is no satisfactory conclusion of an Investment Agreement between Ivanhoe and the Mongolian Government before a date to be mutually agreed to by Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto, the proceeds of the credit facility then would be used to implement a Suspension Plan that would provide for an orderly cessation of operations and the ongoing care and maintenance of the Oyu Tolgoi Project.

Completion of the convertible credit facility transaction is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
