Tian Poh Resources Limited announced that the Coal Resource for its Nuurst Coal Project has been reviewed, updated and re-reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of JORC Code by CSA Global. The updated Coal Resource was based on an earlier Coal Resource reported in accordance with the 2004 JORC Code. The Nuurst Coal Project is located in the Tuv district of Bayou Province, Mongolia, approximately 120 km south from the capital city of Ulaanbaatar.

The project site can be reached by road from Ulaanbaatar using a sealed road to the town of Maan't, then by 4WD track. Coal measures at Nuurst Project are hosted within the Lower Cretaceous age sedimentary rocks of the Zuunbayan Formation of the Choir Nyalga Basin. Coal seams have been gently folded into synclines which strike north-south.

Dips of the strata are to the west or east and vary from 6° to 52°, and minor block faulting is observed. The coal is a subbituminous brown to hard coal, which has a significant range in each of the quality parameters. However, the average quality of individual coal seams is not significantly different to the weighted average for all seams. On average, as received total moisture (TM) is 30.1%, inherent moisture (IM) is 10% (adb), ash is 18.9% (adb), total sulphur (TS) is 1.08% (adb), and calorific value (CV) is 4,768 kcal/kg (adb).

The dry ash free (daf) CV is 6,704kcal/kg. The stratigraphic model was based on correlating coal and sediment characteristics between drill holes, and included information derived from mapping trenches and pits. Coal occurrences were mainly located in the middle and southern part of the tenement area.

A total of 81 seams, sub seams and seam splits have been identified. The seams occur in 3 major groups with Seam Group A being the most economically significant. The individual coal seam thicknesses vary, with drill intersections ranging from 0.06m to 56.49m.

Geological modelling software was used to generate 3D surfaces and a quality model from the drill data and samples. Sectional interpretation of stratigraphy and geology was conducted along with semi-automated correlation of the coal seams. The 3D surfaces were used to generate the volumes for the resource estimation. The quality factors of TM (total moisture), ASH (ash content) and RD (relative density) were interpolated into the Quality Model using the ID2 (inverse distance squared) method applied to the assay data.

A total area km long and covers an area of 1,490 hectares. of 2,231 hectares was modelled. The coal resource area is approximately 3.5 km wide by 4.4 km long and covers an area of 1,490 hectares.

The base coal seam nomenclature and stratigraphy ensures a consistent match between the sectional interpretations and the correlation of geological logs and geophysical logs. A total of 81 seams, sub seams and seam splits have been identified. The seams occur in 3 major groups with Seam Group A being the most economically significant.

The individual coal seam thicknesses with drill intersections ranging from 0.06m to 56.49m.
