Khan Resources Issues Update on Mongolia and the Dornod Uranium Project
Khan Resources Inc. (TSX: KRI) is pleased to provide an update on the political situation in Mongolia as it relates to the mining industry. On October 1, 2008, President Nambaryn Enkhbayar in his opening speech to the Mongolian Parliament said "It is the reality that Mongolians cannot invest in deposit independently, introduce advanced technology and provide qualified experts. Therefore, there is no other way than attracting major investors, their financial resources, technology and experts. Investors would want to calculate their investment returns and control expenditures of their investment. They would aspire to recover their investment and make profit. This is natural." President Enkhbayar continued, "Therefore, there is no other way than for all parties concerned to accept market principles of allowing the investors to own more than 51% of the deposit". An excerpt of the translated speech can be found at www.khanresources.com.
The Mongolian government has recently established a new Ministry of Mines and Energy. Mining was previously a division of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Khan Resources has demonstrated its confidence in Mongolia by launching a US$5 million project to build a power line and a sedimentation pond for the Dornod Uranium Project as announced on September 18, 2008.
"These recent developments in Mongolia are encouraging and we look forward to progressing in our discussions with the Mongolian government. Khan Resources has a strong financial position and a world-class uranium deposit. Therefore, regardless of market conditions, we feel that the Company is significantly undervalued" stated Martin Quick, President and CEO of Khan Resources.
