Ivanhoe’s Oyu Tolgoi may need power plant sooner than planned - The Globe and Mail

Ivanhoe’s Oyu Tolgoi may need power plant sooner than planned - The Globe and Mail: "“Although construction of a power plant is expected as part of the Oyu Tolgoi project's future development, there is no provision for a plant in the current capital cost estimates for 2011 and 2012 and the financing that would be required is not contemplated as part of the company's current financing plan,” Ivanhoe said in a statement.

Ivanhoe has held talks with the Mongolian and Chinese governments regarding securing the power from China by the third quarter of next year. However, if that is not possible, a study of alternative arrangements has found that advancing the construction of the coal-fired power plant in Mongolia would be the best option."
