Hunnu Coal comments on President of Mongolia’s action on new mining licences April 28, 2010

Hunnu Coal (ASX: HUN) advises that the company supports the recent decision by the Mongolian President to improve the licensing process in the country.

Following Mongolian President Tsakhia Elbegdorj’s decision to temporarily suspend the issuance of new mining licenses in Mongolia, Hunnu Coal (ASX: HUN) has announced that it fully supports the decision by the President to improve the licensing process in the country’s exploration and mining sector.

The Company believes the action will only enhance the investment environment for genuine long term investors like Hunnu Coal.

According to recent media coverage, the Mongolian President gave the orders as head of the National Security Council. The freeze on new licences will remain in place until a new law is passed.

The President was reported as saying that almost half of the exploration license holders in Mongolia neglected their legal duties to provide their annual exploration reports and are ignorant of their main duty to explore for minerals.
