thermal coal markets in Mongolia and China.<br />

• Based on the Shanxi Fenwei study and MMC’s assessment of the current market<br />

prices for hard coking coal, semi soft coking coal, middlings coal product (6,300<br />

kcal/kg nar) and thermal coal product (6,300 kcal/kg nar), long term (2021 –<br />

2025) real prices of USD$78/t, USD$56/t, USD$18/t and USD$18/t respectively<br />

and inputs. Price and volume forecasts and the basis for these forecasts.<br />

• The inputs to the economic analysis of UHG are the project derived capital and<br />

confidence satisfactory. The economic modelling is in real terms and a range of<br />
