Peter Meredith, CEO of SouthGobi Energy Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SGQ), today
announced the resignation of Gene Wusaty as the company's Chief Operating
Officer. Mr. Wusaty is leaving SouthGobi to pursue other business opportunities.


"We thank Gene for his valued contribution in establishing Ovoot Tolgoi as a key
operating project and for building the foundation for anticipated similar
success for SouthGobi's Mamahak coal project in Indonesia," said Mr. Meredith.


Mr. Wusaty has been with SouthGobi and its predecessor, the Coal Division of
Ivanhoe Mines, for approximately four years. During that time, he played a key
role in SouthGobi's successful coal exploration programs and in the development
of its flagship Ovoot Tolgoi coal mine in southern Mongolia, which is now
selling coal to customers in China.


The company has retained an executive search firm and is in an advanced stage
with respect to sourcing a new COO.


Mr. Meredith further added, "Gene's successor will be focused on utilizing
SouthGobi's strong operating teams in Mongolia and Indonesia to take our coal
businesses to their next stages of development."
