Mongolia Suspends Two Mining Permits - WSJ.com: "Mongolia suspended two mining permits for a Canadian gold and copper explorer partly owned by Rio Tinto PLC, raising the stakes in a dispute over the huge Oyu Tolgoi development in the Gobi Desert.
Entree Gold Ltd., which has been prospecting on land surrounding the Oyu Tolgoi gold and copper mine, said late Wednesday two licenses were suspended, and a government order related to the conversion of an exploration permit into a mining license was canceled. Rio Tinto controls the Oyu Tolgoi mine, and owns about 24% of Entree, through its holdings in Toronto-listed Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd."
