The Ovoot Tolgoi coal seam has been traced for 120 kilometres. There is no shortage of anything except imagination. ivanhoe-mines.com Mongolia in coal deal with China China's mines struggle to keep up with the nation's coal demand Mongolia has agreed to develop its coal fields with China, as its neighbour looks to feed a booming economy and rapacious appetite for energy. In return for its help, China will get coal to burn in power plants, helping it tackle a power shortage that has led to blackouts and factory closures. The deal will allow Mongolia to exploit valuable natural resources and help it finance economic expansion. Mongolia also has large oil, copper and gold deposits. Economic growth has picked up over the past two years, mainly driven by foreign investment from mining firms. The country will do its best to make foreign investors feel happy about the money they are going to bring into the Mongolian economy President Nambariin Enkhbayar Growth was almost 11% last year, twice as fast as in 2003, and Mongolia's new president is looking to extend that run.

"The leadership in the country will do its best to make foreign investors feel happy about the money they are going to bring into the Mongolian economy," he said. Mongolia is currently planning an overhaul of its mining laws to foster investment. Foreign Minister Tsendiin Munkh-Orgil said the agreement with China was "a rather long-term project". news.bbc.co.uk
