The Third Silk Road Investment Exhibition for Gold and Coal Projects is a significant event meticulously planned and grandly held against the backdrop of accelerated global economic integration and the deep implementation of the "Belt and Road" initiative. It aims to promote in-depth cooperation and extensive investment in gold and coal projects internationally. This event not only represents a modern interpretation of the traditional Silk Road spirit but also serves as a concrete practice in response to new trends in global economic cooperation and in deepening economic and trade connections between regions.
Mongolia, this vast land of grasslands, is renowned worldwide for its exceptional natural conditions and abundant mineral resources. Beneath its soil lie enormous coal and gold resources, whose richness and quality occupy a pivotal position on the global mineral map. The development of these resources not only concerns Mongolia's economic prosperity and sustainable development, but also offers valuable cooperation opportunities to the international community. In particular, with China — a major economic power — the two sides show a high degree of complementarity in resource endowment, technological strength and market demand, laying a solid foundation for bilateral and even broader regional cooperation; the potential for cooperation, like treasure buried underground, awaits excavation and release.

This event was held shortly after the election of Mongolia's State Great Khural (Parliament). Members of the Great Khural were specially invited to introduce Mongolia's mining policies and development trends, providing the audience with timely official information on the policies of Mongolia's current ruling party for the next four years, as well as the latest developments in the reform of mineral exploration and mining.
Against this backdrop, the Third Silk Road Investment Exhibition for Gold and Coal Projects was particularly timely and far-reaching. It was not only a stage for project showcasing and matchmaking, but also an international exchange platform where ideas collided and wisdom converged. Through this platform, investors, entrepreneurs, government officials and experts from around the world were able to communicate face to face, discuss the latest development trends in the gold and coal industries, share success stories and valuable experience, seek cooperation opportunities and jointly plan for development.

At the Third Silk Road Investment Exhibition for Gold and Coal Projects, Suntrans's interpretation services likewise played an indispensable key role. First, since the exhibition focused on international investment and cooperation in gold and coal projects, language barriers were a pressing problem to overcome. Suntrans's professional interpreting team, drawing on profound language skills and rich mining knowledge, provided participants with precise and reliable interpretation services, effectively removing language barriers, promoting in-depth exchange and understanding among international mining peers, and laying a solid foundation for project matchmaking and cooperation.
Second, Suntrans's interpretation services are of great significance for promoting pragmatic cooperation between China and global mining countries in the gold and coal sectors. Through its professional interpretation, participants were able to gain insight into the latest developments and policy orientations of various countries in mining investment, technological innovation, efficient resource utilization and talent cultivation, providing valuable reference information for exploring cooperation opportunities and expanding areas of cooperation, and accelerating the cooperation process.

After the conference, Dr. Lyu Guo was interviewed by the author Wang Hongyu.
Wang Hongyu: Dr. Lyu, hello! First of all, congratulations on successfully completing the interpretation work! Mongolia is a major resource country, but very few Chinese investors are familiar with the Mongolian language, and information exchange and communication are very important in the development of mineral project resources between China and Mongolia. What experiences from this interpretation work can you share with us?
Dr. Lyu Guo of Suntrans providing interpretation for the Mongolia mining project roadshow, April 26, 2024
Lyu: First of all, hosting roadshows to promote mineral projects at the Mongolian Embassy in China is very important work for the country, and also highly specialized work. Its importance lies in the fact that Mongolia is a major country in mineral resources, and international cooperation and development of mineral project resources play a significant economic role for the country. Its specialized nature lies in the fact that mineral projects are different from ordinary development projects — they involve strong technical barriers, and even the communication of information and technology requires professional interpreters; ordinary foreign language interpreters can hardly understand the specialized terminology. That Mongolia invited our company to cooperate is based not only on our company's general translation capabilities, but also on our company's unique advantages in the mining field.
The importance of the Ministry of Mining to Mongolia's economy
Wang Hongyu: In this interpretation work, what did you learn about Mongolia's mineral projects? Which guests gave speeches and exchanges?
Posters of Mongolia's mineral projects, April 26, 2024
Lyu: Mongolia is a country rich in resources, especially mineral resources. More than 800 deposits have been discovered and evaluated, along with more than 4,500 mineral occurrences, covering over 80 kinds of minerals including coal, copper, tungsten, gold, silver, molybdenum, aluminum, iron, lead, zinc, uranium, manganese, fluorite, phosphorus and salt. Among them, Mongolia's copper (molybdenum) resources are abundant and hold great potential, mainly concentrated in three east-west trending Late Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic tectonic-volcanic belts, forming three major copper (molybdenum) belts: the North Mongolia belt, the Central Mongolia belt and the South Mongolia belt. In addition, Mongolia's coal resources are also very abundant, and fluorite, salt, natural soda and phosphorite are among Mongolia's advantageous minerals.

There were 8 speakers at the conference, four of whom presented directly in English and I interpreted their presentations into Chinese; the other 4 speakers spoke Mongolian, and a Mongolian colleague relayed the content to me in a whisper simultaneous interpreting arrangement, which I then rendered into Chinese. During the Q&A session, participants actively asked various questions, and with my interpretation, Mongolian mine owners actively answered all the questions that investors were concerned about.
The impact of Mongolia's Ministry of Geology and Mining on the Mongolian economy, April 26, 2024
Wang Hongyu: What favorable conditions do you think Mongolia has for mineral project development? What is the significance of holding the roadshow conference in China?
Lyu: Mongolia is located between two major economies, China and Russia, and its geographical position is favorable for trade and resource cooperation with neighboring countries. At the same time, Mongolia is one of the important corridors connecting Asia and Europe, with convenient transportation and logistics conditions. Second, Mongolia is politically stable with a sound legal framework, providing foreign investors with a relatively safe and stable investment environment. The Mongolian government has also been committed to promoting economic development and improving the investment environment, offering many preferential policies and favorable conditions for foreign investors. Furthermore, Mongolia has deep historical and cultural ties with neighboring countries — in particular, it shares similar cultural and linguistic backgrounds with China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which provides great convenience for economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.
Mongolia's long-term development policy, April 26, 2024
This is part of Mongolia's effort to seek cooperation and support from the international community and expand its international influence. In recent years, Mongolia has been continuously improving its infrastructure; the government has been increasing investment in infrastructure construction, improving transportation, telecommunications and other infrastructure conditions, providing foreign investors with a better investment environment. Meanwhile, Mongolia also attaches great importance to cooperation with neighboring countries, jointly promoting cross-border infrastructure construction and strengthening regional connectivity. On the whole, Mongolia's mineral projects offer good investment value and investment opportunities for investors in relevant fields in China.

In summary, Mongolia enjoys unique advantages in mineral resources, and its rich mineral endowment and superior geographical location provide favorable conditions for international cooperation in resource development. In the future, Mongolia will continue to strengthen cooperation with other countries in the field of mineral resource development and promote the sustained development of its economy.
By holding roadshow conferences in China, Mongolia's mineral projects can be conveniently presented to Chinese investors and industry professionals, thereby expanding the visibility and influence of the projects, promoting exchange and cooperation among investors, advancing project development and construction, and in turn promoting the in-depth development of bilateral relations.
Dr. Lyu Guo of Suntrans providing interpretation for the speech by Mr. Wen Jianke of the Mining Professional Committee of the China Asia Economic Development Association, April 26, 2024
Wang Hongyu: It is said that Mongolia has made major adjustments to its Minerals Law. What is your view on this?
Lyu: At the end of 2023, Mongolia made substantial adjustments to its Minerals Law, and at this conference some investors raised this question. Through this conference, we learned that Mongolia's major adjustments to the Minerals Law are generally favorable for protecting mining investors: it has become easier to apply for mining rights, and the renewal of mining licenses for mineral projects has become more convenient. Since the promulgation of Mongolia's new mining policies, Mongolia's mining industry chain has clearly flourished again, with mining investors from all over the world flocking to the country — especially Chinese investors, who account for more than 70%, while the United States and other Western countries have also strengthened their development and participation in the country's mineral resource projects.
Wang Hongyu: You have successfully completed this interpretation work on behalf of your company. What new ideas do you have for the development of your company?
Lyu: Suntrans's core business provides both translation services and consulting services in the mining and energy fields, including due diligence on mining projects across the mining industry chain, negotiations in mining acquisitions and mergers, and matching and connecting financing and investment resources for mineral projects. Therefore, Suntrans can not only provide interpretation services for such conferences, but also has the capability to carry out in-depth follow-up services for the further connection between these enterprises, investors and mine owners afterwards.
