Elixir Energy (EXR) has been awarded ‘Investor of the Year’ by Mongolia’s Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry, Yondon Gelen.

The company also received this award last year.

Additionally, the company has completed its 2021 drilling program following the conclusion of three wells at its wholly-owned Nomgon IX Coal coal bed methane (CBM) Production Sharing Contract in Mongolia.

Of the three recently drilled wells, Nomgon-7s will be used as a pressure monitoring well for next year’s production pilot in the Nomgon sub-basin.

The Richcairn-4 appraisal well has reportedly intercepted 20 metres of coal and 6 metres of silty coal, from a total depth of 560 metres. The Bag-1S well reached a total depth of 779 metres but did not intersect coal.

In total, 65 per cent of the 17 wells drilled in the company’s 2021 program reportedly intersected coals in the coal bed methane window.

The company says there will be a short hiatus in the field, while mandatory and annual regulatory processes for its 2022 program are underway

Shares were down 2.44 per cent to 20 cents at 10:32 am AEDT.
