Thursday, April 11, 7:57 AM Rio Tinto (RIO) is accelerating a plan to sell billions of dollars in non-core assets despite a slowdown in commodities that could lower the price tag on the deals. Latest to go on the block is the 57% stake in Ivanhoe Australia owned by unit Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ), with a market value of ~$156M. RIO also has been trying to sell TRQ’s 58% stake in Mongolia-focused SouthGobi Resources. 2 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
Thursday, March 28, 11:29 AM Turquoise Hill's (TRQ) report this week outlined a smaller than expected plan for the Oyu Tolgoi mine, keeping the rate for phase two expansion at 100K metric tons/day of ore with no immediate plans to hike capacity to 160K metric tons. Peter Koven says the question is whether expansion is really on hold, or if it's Rio Tinto's (RIO) way of playing politics and sending a message to the Mongolian government. 2 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]
Tuesday, March 26, 10:26 AM Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ -2%) is lower after reporting a Q4 loss of $0.17/share and revenues of $41M, results that fell well short of analysts expectations. TRQ says first concentrate at the Oyu Tolgoi mine was produced Jan. 31, and commercial production is expected to start by the end of June subject to the resolution of issues being discussed with Mongolia's government. 3 Comments [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]

Friday, March 22, 9:57 AM SouthGobi Resources (SGQRF.PK) says it resumed operations at its flagship Ovoot Tolgoi coal mine in Mongolia, where production has been curtailed since June because of weak demand and customer uncertainty about its future. It says signs of improvement in coal markets justify the restart. 6 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]

Tuesday, February 26, 2:37 PM Entree Gold (EGI -9.2%) shares slump after Mongolia’s mining ministry reportedly cancels two licenses on land that forms part of the Oyu Tolgoi deposit. EGI says it has not received formal notification from an government agency. Shares of Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ -1.8%), which is developing Oyu Tolgoi, also drop. 3 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
Wednesday, February 13, 8:53 AM Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ) will sell its 50% interest in Altynalmas Gold Ltd. to Sumeru Gold for $300M, subject to regulatory approvals from the Kazakhstan government. Altynalmas owns 100% of the Kyzyl gold project in the northeastern part of the country. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
Thursday, January 31, 8:08 AM Rio Tinto (RIO) says its Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold project in Mongolia is continuing on schedule despite reports it was considering a plan to shut operations. “The power is secured, first ore produced and the concentrator switched on, and we are on schedule for first commercial production in the first half of the year," RIO says. Shares +0.8% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
Wednesday, January 30, 11:37 AM Rio Tinto (RIO -0.5%) reportedly considers a temporary halt to construction work at its $6.2B Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold project in Mongolia to protest the government's demands for a greater share of profit from the mine. Shares of Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ -3.6%), power supplier to the mine and 51% owned by RIO, are slammed. 3 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
