Mongolia Rail Gauge Plan to Limit Cost Savings, Group Says (1) - Businessweek: "Mongolia’s decision to use broad gauge rail for a new line to China will increase costs for coal exporters including Hong Kong-traded Mongolia Mining Corp. (975) over a narrower gauge option, according to a research firm.
The use of the broad gauge rail will add $3 to the cost of each metric ton of delivered coal because the fuel has to be transferred at the border to wagons that fit the smaller gauge rail used in China, Dale Choi, founder of Ulaanbaatar-based Independent Mongolian Metals and Mining Research, said by phone."
