Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Activists bombard the politicians coming to conference in Matad soum. No mention of PM. Just going on about PC.
The District administrator was there too. He was messaging from the conference.
All looking good so far. Just need the RNS with the approval
Hello sir. sorry to bother you . what chance do Petro matad have to get the permission.
DA: How are you? Who are you?
I am from london. I am an investor who wants to invest in Mongolia
DA: How did you find me?
I found you on Facebook. someone posted about Petro matad and mentioned your name. I just wanted to know if they will get the permission for block 20
we will make sure Petro matad help the local public with finance when they do start production in block 20
all I want to know is will Petro matad get the permission or they will not.
DA:It is supported.
Some phones have a features to translate the screen.
I'll do it for you in a short while.
I have on purpose cut his photo out because people on here bombard these locals and activists and get blocked.
They do not understand when I tell them not to communicate or comment because the Mongolians do not understand what we are trying to tell them.
It's very hard to communicate and have discussion because Google translate is not perfect. They do not understand what we are trying to say. I have been trying with him few times but had no joy.
This time he was kind enough to reply

The governor is up for election ,let's hope he doesn't get elected again..
The activists have gone quite regarding PM . They are still making noise about PC
The way I see this governor is that he is possibly looking for a brown bag deal.
I cannot see any other reason for him to refuse. Environment is just an excuse. PC is stone throw away and they are drilling every year .
Time MB send the heavyweights in to sort the governor out or MB takes him out on a trip to Singapore.
All countries all work in similar manners . You scratch my back I'll scratch your..
MB answered my questions
1. Why has legal channels not taken to resolve the situation once cabinet approved the block 20 exploitation.
2. What is the real reason for the delay. It cannot take 5 years to resolve a land access issue. Is it personal due to PM taking the governor to court back in 2019.
3. Why has 10m spent in wages when this could have benefitted the locals.
4. Should the wage bill be so high when no activities have taken place in the past 4 years. Are the staff getting paid for sitting at home.
5. What has happened to mining ministers 3 months guide line. Are they taking PM for a ride.
From my understanding the only issue is the overlapping.
The district approval has not been interrupted which is the biggest positive news.
I can see this going back to 5p in anticipation of the land access for heron
Here are few good points.
Activists have been informed regarding PM being Mongolian . They have gone quite .
No money required till 2025
District approval moving along without interference from the Governor.
