Adjoining Guildford mining licence MV-017162, the mining licence KS MV- 019149 includes the western part of the Noyon Basin with an estimated 50km of basin edge shallow coal bearing stratigraphy.

The MV-017162 mining licence includes the Baruun Noyon Uul (BNU) coking coal mine, which has an existing output capacity of 1.2 million tonnes per annum.

The addition of this licence allows for mining of basin-edge near-surface coal bearing stratigraphy, while the majority of the Noyon Basin will be held within Guildford mining licences.

Mining at Khar Servegen MV-019149 is expected to begin in 2016.
