Project-level coal details
- Coal source(s): Chandgana Tal deposit
Background
The project was intended to exploit the large coal deposits at Chandgana Tal and Khavtgal Uul by Canadian mining company Prophecy Coal Corp. in conjunction with a mine-mouth power station known as the Chandgana Coal Plant. The sponsor Prophecy Power Generation was developing the power station, rolled out in two phases of two 150 MW units each.[1][2][3][4]
On its website, Prophecy Power Generation reported that the following had been completed from November 2010 through June 2013: Environmental Impact Assessment, mining license, power transmission EIA approval, construction license for 600 MW, land use approval, and coal supply agreement. The company reported that it is working with the National Electricity Transmission Grid Company on finalizing the Power Purchase Agreement,[1] planned for completion in 2015.[5] Construction was planned for 2016-2019.[5]
In January 2015, Guildford Coal Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding to purchase an 80% stake in the mines and power station.[6]
In December 2015, Prophecy Coal signed an EPC contract with PowerChina Nuclear Engineering Company (formerly Shandong Electrical Power Construction No.2 Company, or SEPCO 2) to invest in and build the 600 MW plant.[7]
Coal Mine
During May 2013, Prophecy Power subsidiary Chandgana Coal executed a 25-year Coal Supply Agreement (CSA) with Prophecy Power Generation to supply 3.6 million tonnes of coal annually. The initial coal delivery date was anticipated to be during the second half of 2016. On its website, Prophecy says the Chandgana Tal deposit "contains 124 million tonnes of measured coal resource and is sufficient for approximately 30-40 years of power plant operation."[8]
With no developments since December 2015, the project appears to be abandoned.
In March 2020, Prophecy Coal renamed itself Silver Elephant Mining Corp.[9][10]
