Must admit i can see both sides of this debate and cannot work out which way i really fall.
Would refusing to explore make any difference to the MG govt. They let the license lapse and then re-issue to someone else.
But then they do need to know there is something out there to back up with spending on the refinery. And i think this is our one savior at the moment the funding of this $1.4bn project has to get financed somehow and I do not see Mongolian Sheep herders earning enough to increase their taxes enough.
As much as the MG do not like it this is in their hands and need to move on it fast otherwise they will lose everyone,. The local sheep herders votes. The LG who think they are bigger than national governement. Mtad sympathy and support. Financing from afar for terminal because they cannot sort out the mess on the ground. British support and lack of trust from whole of international business in Mongolia As i see it the MG have to be far more pro active than the odd meeting here and there, At the moment this is not looking promising but it could be promising. I am hoping that MB has something positive to say on Wednesday that are not platitudes.
