Background
Baruun Noyon coal mine is a surface coal mine in Ömnögovi (South Gobi) Province, Mongolia. The Baruun Noyon Uul coal mine is located within the Naryn Sukhait coal basin in southern Mongolia.[10] The deposit contains metallurgical (coking) coal, which is used in steel production.[11]
Coal from the Baruun Noyon Uul mine is transported by truck to the Chinese border for export to Chinese steel producers.[12]
In June 2020, mine owner TerraCom finalized the sale of its Mongolian assets to Bridge Resources, disposing of its Baruun Noyon Uul (BNU) coal mine and its Enkhtunkh Orchon coal mine. The assets were sold as a "going concern", with Bridge accepting the existing net liabilities of up to US$28 million, paying TerraCom US$3 million.[13]
While owned by Bridge Resources Pte Ltd, Baruun Noyon Uul coal mine is operated through local subsidiary company Tsagaan-Uvuljuu LLC, which owns mining license (MV-17162) for the Baruun Noyon Uul deposit.[14]
The Baruun Naran coal mine produced 1.72 million tonnes of coal in 2024. [15]
