Executive Summary

2

Attention to Mongolia‟s “growth story” and its investment potentials has never been higher. Amid the

ongoing financial turmoil and unprecedented volatility that put all market participants in stalemate, above-

average market returns became a distant past, and asset managers, institutional investors, and

investment bankers, alike, begin to question – “where could be the next „hot‟ investment destination?”

Whereas financial markets around the world patiently await some miracle economic rebounds, market

sentiment declines, and investor confidence continues to hit a new low. Mongolia, on the other

hand, represents a different investment story.

According to the World Bank‟s Quarterly Economic Update, Mongolia‟s GDP impressively grew at 17.3%

in Q2, and 20.8% in Q3 on a year-on-year basis. The year-end GDP growth is likely to reach 15%, if not

more, up from modest 6.4% in 2010. Given this growth momentum, IMF estimated that by

2012, Mongolia‟s GDP will top US$11.2 bn, and per capital GDP will reach US$3,931

Driven primarily by mining boom and tremendous infrastructure spending in the recent years, its currently

US$6 billion economy is still relatively small in size and scope, but is expected to be the fastest-growing

economy in the world in the next 5 years.

Elsewhere, growth and investment opportunity is obscure, whereas in Mongolia, the opportunity is

unquestionably everywhere. Although there are prevalent risks (e.g. liquidity, exchange rate, market and

political risks) associated with this overheating economy, the rising domestic demand, upward trend in

consumption and favorable economic outlook justify every investment decision to be made in this

resources-rich country.

Inflation and currency outlooks

Annualized inflation is 10.8% with upside risk

P R E S E N T A T I O N M A T E R I A L

Source: 1) IMF estimates (September 2011)

2) Bank of Mongolia, Exchange Rates Statistics

Generalized wage and price pressures from a booming

economy, expansion in fiscal expenditures, and large

government cash handout contribute to rising inflation.

Given the overheating economy (20%+ GDP

growth), rising policy rate measure (currently at 12.5%)

is implemented to curb price increases.

Yet, inflation is expected to reach 13% by 2011 year-

end. Double-digit inflation is likely to prevail at least until

2013.

BOM combats against inflationary pressure by

tightening monetary policy to ensure economic stability.

Upward trend in inflation

Capital inflows and exports drive MNT

Rising domestic consumption and demand for raw

materials from industrialized countries contribute to MNT

appreciation

In 2010, coal exports increased 2.3 times to 16.6

mm tons, and iron exports increased 2.2 times to

3.5 mm tons.

Further mild appreciation or FX stability is expected due

to large capital inflows for major mining projects.

With continued high real GDP growth, the real exchange

rate will have to adjust, either through nominal

appreciation or through inflation.

Understand Mongolia’s political risk

Lucrative opportunities can be undermined by political uncertainty

P R E S E N T A T I O N M A T E R I A L

Updates on

Mongolia’s politics

Political

uncertainty is not

uncommon in

emerging

marketplace

Since late September 2011, political pressure and hostile political climate became imminent

in the Mongolian government due to opposing views regarding foreign participation in OT IA.

A “highly organized” attack by anti-coalition government, in view of the upcoming election

context, aimed to destabilize the long-standing political status quo and discredit the Coalition

government. The anti-coalition MPs orchestrated nationalistic sentiment on the highly sensitive

issue of OT project to the public, in hope for gaining more votes in the election.

Given this vivid dynamics of Mongolian politics, minor revisions on terms and conditions of

OT and TT IAs can be expected along the way. The coalition government is, however, facing a

challenging task and dilemma in this political game.

Anti-OT IA, anti Coalition government MPs, in mid October, submitted to the Secretary of

Administrative Office a resignation petition to the PM, alleging the government‟s failure to

implement the parliament resolution regarding OT IA.

Regardless of anti coalition political force that elaborated a high-profile attack on the coalition

government, the authority suggested that by laws, it is impossible to have only the PM resign.

Thus, this political move is not likely to take any substantial effect on the government front.

Implication for

investors

Ultimately, the government needs to devise a solution that satisfies all parties, while concurrently

pursuing multi-facet objectives – restoring investor confidence, wining the public opinions

in the next election, and ensuring the continuity of rigorous economic growth.

Political shock undeniably casted a shadow and negative sentiment on the Mongolia

market, but the real economic engine is not much hindered. The rising political risk premium is

not meant to discourage foreign investment; however, investors should be more careful

about the investment timing. Political uncertainty involving OT, TT controversies is surely soon

to be stabilized

The bottom line

The take-away lesson is, like in many other marketplaces, political risk is not avoidable, but

certainly manageable. The best investment timing is early 2012, when the political risk is

fully factored in and discounted. Choose the right timing, choose the right

portfolio, Mongolian investment definitely yields rewarding return.

Subsidiary status of NKL leads to

mispricing of PCY.

PCY has market cap (as of

September 7, 2011) of C$131.3 mm,

and owns 43.7% of Prophecy

Platinum Corp (TSX-V: NKL),

NKL’s recent groundbreaking gain

(5d, 36.9%, 1m, +92.26%, 3m,

+419%) is due to its discovery of 1.04

mm oz PGM+Gold1 INDICATED and

10.97 mm oz PGM+Gold INFERRED

for the Wellgreen Project, Canada

PCY and NKL

Note: 1) “PGM+Gold” refers to platinum group metals and gold

Undervaluation

C$131.3 mm Mongolian assets of PCY

are valued as low as C$25 mm.

NKL‟s market cap is C$242.9 mm (as

of September 7, 2011).

If PCY‟s market cap is deducted by its

43.7% ownership of NKL, it thus can

be concluded that all Mongolian

assets of PCY are valued at only

C$25 mm i.e. C$131.3 mm subtracted

by 43.7% of C$242.9 mm.

This analysis implies that PCY is

tremendously UNDERVALUED.

Strong BUY

recommendationPCY undervalued with respect to

rising market cap of NKL, mispricing

since July 2011 onwards – PCY

+12.11% vs NKL +419.08%

Policy-making and

implementation by the Government

The economy does not over-rely

on mining to prevent “resources

sustainable, as resources will be

eventually depleted.

Securities Markets Law etc.

Liberalization policies promoting

fair competition and

landscape, tax benefits and other

encourage investment..
