The goal of the MOU is to build a framework for the exploration and development of the highly prospective Khurentsav project, located in the Shinejinst Soum of Bayankhongor Province.

At the core, our strategy has always been to build strong relationships with local partners and create win-win scenarios for all stakeholders. Bayankhongor has fantastic mining assets and we look forward to building long-term and sustainable projects across our significant land holdings in the area.

The partnership with Erdenes Alt Resource LLC is a major development for us as it consolidates our leading land position in the Khundii gold district.
