What Energy Resources LLC does

Energy Resources LLC (Энержи Ресурс ХХК) is a vertically integrated Mongolian mining company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Ulaanbaatar, operating the Uhaa Khudag (Ukhaa Khudag) surface coal mine in Tsogttsetsii sum, Ömnögovi Province. The company produces washed coking coal — Mongolia's first domestically washed coking coal product — from an integrated complex that bundles the mine, a coal washing plant, an 18 MW on-site power station using dry-cooling technology, and an industrial/domestic water supply system with a 95% reuse rate. Supporting infrastructure includes a 245 km paved haul road connecting the mine to the Gashuunsukhait border crossing, an in-house heavy-duty vehicle fleet, and worker accommodation including the Gallery central camp (650-person capacity) and the Tsetsii residential complex (housing ~600 employee families).

The company sells washed coking coal primarily to Chinese steel mills and runs trial shipments to Japan, South Korea, India, and Germany; it also supplies domestic Mongolian industrial customers and operates rail/road logistics services. Its revenue model is a transaction-fee commodity sale at international coking-coal prices, with no disclosed long-term offtake contracts. The firm markets through B2B direct sales, Mongolian-language industry events (including Coal Mongolia conferences), annual CSR/Sustainability reports from 2012–2025, and earned media around its TOP 100 rankings.

Energy Resources holds an integrated ISO 9001:2015 / ISO 14001:2015 / ISO 45001:2018 Triple Management System (first in Mongolia's mining sector), is a signatory to the Voluntary Responsible Mining Code and the IFC's Voluntary Water Management Code, and has earned the 2020 Deming Prize (first Mongolian mine), the 2011 Mining Journal Awards Grand Prix, and 16 consecutive years in Mongolia's TOP 100 (ranked 4th in 2025). It supports 7,800+ direct and indirect jobs and contributed 512 billion MNT in taxes and 71 billion MNT in mineral royalty in 2025, with cumulative investment of approximately USD 1.4 billion since inception.
