The Organizing Committee of “Discover Mongolia – 2012″
International Mining Investors” Forum (www.discovermongoliaforum.com)
is pleased to announce the key speakers for this year”s event.

The International Mining Investors” Forum, taking place in Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia attracted over 1,500 delegates in 2011 from around the world. With
2012 participation expected to surpass that of the previous year, a strong
focus of the forum will be on helping the attendees to continue identifying
potential opportunities to benefit from Mongolia”s resource-driven economic
growth. To this end, the forum is expanding its scope to better support the
understanding of regional supply and demand functions as they relate to the
Mongolian growth story.

“We understand that Discover Mongolia delegates do not consider
Mongolia as an isolated story; potential investors are concerned with
developments in the markets that relate to Mongolian growth and that contribute
to its potential,” says Jargalsaikhan Dugar, a member of the Organizing
Committee. He added, “We are very pleased to announce that this year”s
forum will include a regional view that will provide a much more robust
understanding of Northeast Asia”s supply and demand of raw materials.”

In addition to a concentration on regional supply and demand, the organizing
committee acknowledges that there are other market conditions affecting
Mongolia”s potential for investors that must continue to be addressed.
Therefore, the “Discover Mongolia – 2012” agenda will include such
sessions as: political stability and the recent parliamentary election, slowing
Chinese economic growth, infrastructure issues facing Mongolia”s development,
and the legal environment for foreign investment into Mongolia.

To address these and other topics the speakers for this year”s forum include
distinguished members of both the private and public sector, from Mongolia and
abroad. In addition to those mentioned in previous statements this year”s
