SouthGobi Resources has commenced construction of a coal handling facility at its producing Ovoot Tolgoi coal mine in southern Mongolia. The new CHF, to cost approximately US$25 million, will include a 300-metric-ton capacity dump hopper, which will receive run of mine coal from both pits and feed a coal rotary breaker that will size coal to a maximum of 50 mm and reject oversize ash. The facility is planned to be operational in early 2011.
