In 1983-1984, Russian geological expedition provided first drilling program (with 2800m drilling on 20 bore holes) and estimated over million tonnes of REO in total resources.
In 1989-1991, Mongolian geological research team completed exploration work on Central, Khuren Khad and Tumurtei ore zones at Mushgia Khudag (total 8025m drilling on 41 bore holes) and estimated 0.4 million tonnes of REO oxide in total.
USGS evaluated its resource as 5,9 Mt REO. Unexplored Fe over 2.2kmx300m area As results of 2007-2009 exploration works we have determined
origin of the deposit, complexity of the geological setting, exploration drilling grid density and estimated rare earth 14.4 million tonnes of ore or 194.4 thousand tonnes of rare earth oxides by B category, and probable resources of 1.2 million tonnes of ore or 37.3 thousand tonnes of oxides by C category in compliance mineral evaluation and estimation methods of Mongolia.
The Mushgia khudag deposit includes group of licenses MV-014937 Bayan Tomortei XV-012396 Mushgia Khudag XV-07812 Mushgia Ukhaa XV-015277 Khurmen tolgoi.
The deposit is located 500km SW from capital city Ulaanbaatar and 32km SW from Mandal Ovoo sum.

License Fee
Prospecting license Annual license fees begin at US $0.10
per hectare in the first year and gradually increase to a maximum rate of US $1.50 per hectare in the seventh through ninth years.
License holders are required to spend certain minimum amounts of funds on exploration activities beginning in the second year of a license.
REGULATION AND LICENSES
License Fee
Exploration license• Annual license fees are US $5 per hectare for
coal and common mineral deposits and US $15 per hectare for gold, copper, zinc, and iron.
• A 2.5% minerals royalty is imposed on coal and common mineral resources whereas the royalty on gold, copper, zinc, and iron is 5%.
• A mining license holder investing US $50 million in the first 5 years of the project is entitled to enter into an Investment Agreement with the Government which can stabilize rates of corporate income tax, customs duty, VAT and minerals royalties.
