Dr. Battsengel Gotov, Chief Executive Officer of MMC, said, "As we continue into the latter half of 2024, the Group remains fully committed to pursuing its key strategies to maintain and enhance its position as the largest publicly-listed private mining company in Mongolia. The Group's balance sheet was strengthened by its solid operating and financial performance over the past 24 months, whereby the Group undertook various liability management exercises, reducing and extending debt maturity without impacting its ability to expand and diversify its business portfolio. Moving forward, we will continue to optimize our capital structure by maintaining prudent financial policies, balancing investments required to expand and diversify our business and revenue sources, with the aim of delivering sustainable, long-term returns to our shareholders."
