The South Gobi Basin in southern Mongolia is home to Tavan Tolgoi, which is one of the largest thermal coal mines in the world. The coal appears to have ideal properties for CBM extraction at deeper depths, yet Tavan Tolgoi and the greater region remains under-explored for CBM. ASX-listed Elixir Petroleum Limited is planning a 2D seismic survey and core-hole drilling program in 2019 to evaluate the potential of the South Gobi Basin in the Nomgon IX PSC. Independent Prospective Resource Estimates indicate the Nomgon IX PSC could contain 40 TCF of recoverable CBM (on an unrisked, best guess basis), with over 5,200km2 considered prospective within the PSC. This poster previews the technical work undertaken in the region, and outlines the plan for CBM exploration in the Nomgon IX PSC, South Gobi Basin, Mongolia.
