The aim of the JV is to invest in already identified iron ore and coal exploration projects in Mongolia, targeting further high-grade deposits with the potential for significant export volumes.
Both the firms are also planning to expand the scope of the JV to other countries such as Kazakhstan and Russia, and to cover all commodities.
