Erdene Resource Development Corp. is a Canada-based resource company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of precious and base metals in underexplored and highly prospective Mongolia. It has interests in three mining licenses and an exploration license in Southwest Mongolia. Its projects include Khundii Minerals District, Bayan Khundii Gold Project, Altan Nar, Greater Dark Horse, Ulaan, Zuun Mod and Khuvyn Khar. Its projects are located in the eastern portion of the Central Asian Orogenic belt. The Bayan Khundii mining license covers 2,309 hectares and, in addition to the Bayan Khundii high-grade gold deposit, includes its highly prospective 20 square kilometers greater Dark Horse prospect area, including the Dark Horse Mane high-grade gold discovery. The Zuun Mod Molybdenum-Copper Project is a porphyry molybdenum-copper deposit. The Altan Nar mining license covers 4,669 hectares. The central and northern portion of the Ulaan license hosts a porphyry copper prospect.

Coal Quality

Coal Quality
COAL QUALITY, PROCESSING, AND TESTING 
The MBGS report describes the Donkin Coal Resource Block as containing on average 4.5% 
sulphur and 12% ash and is classified as high volatile A bituminous, high sulphur, medium ash 
coal based on the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) coal classification system.  
The report states that after processing at the Victoria Junction Coal Preparation Plant during the 
pilot scale study, the Donkin bulk sample coal achieved 70% to 75% recovery of metallurgical 
product with ash 3%, and total sulphur (TS) content of 2.1%.  The thermal product yield was 5% 
to 10% with ash and TS of 7% and 4% respectively.  Coarse rejects contained the bulk of the 
pyritic sulphur (TS 16%) with little coal evident in the reject material which had an ash content of 
65%.  The flotation tailings were also high in ash, at 75% to 80%, with a sulphur content of 2% to 
2.5%. 
Norwest agrees with the findings of the MBGS report on this topic and is of the opinion that the 
spacing of available coal quality data for the seams used in the geological model is adequate for 
characterization of the in-place quality parameters.  Additional information can be found in the 
MBGS report.
