Could Mongolia become a met coal exporter in Asia? "Several obstacles will need to be overcome, but Mongolia does have the potential to be a significant met coal exporter, especially to China, and could eventually affect Canadian and Australian exports into the region," a source told Coal Americas. Currently Mongolia has 32 coal mines in operation. Total production in 2004 was 6.9 million tonnes with 80 percent of the output consisting of thermal and lignite and 20 percent hard met coal.
