SouthGobi Resources Comments on Recent Share Price Activity
HONG KONG, CHINA — SouthGobi Resources Ltd. (TSX:SGQ)(HKSE:1878) ("SouthGobi") notes its share price fell by 13.0% in Hong Kong on May 8, 2012. The Company believes the activity could be associated with two recent events. First, SouthGobi understands a bill regarding foreign investment in Mongolia proceeded through first reading in the State Great Khural. In its current version, the bill contains a clause requiring 51% Mongolian ownership of strategic assets. Second, the Anti-Corruption Agency of Mongolia today formally requested information from the offices of SouthGobi Sands LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SouthGobi. SouthGobi has previously been advised this is in connection with an investigation into a third-party and has no reason to believe SouthGobi Sands LLC is itself the subject of any investigation. SouthGobi has cooperated fully and provided the required information.
