SGQ SouthGobi Resources Ltd

Alexander Molyneux, President and CEO of SouthGobi Energy Resources Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:SGQ), is proud to announce cooperation with the renowned Mongolian folk
rock band, Altan Urag. The cooperation will take the form of a sponsorship grant
that will allow the band to travel internationally and promote three new albums.


"We are thrilled to invest in such talented, young artists and to continue to
see them flourish. Altan Urag's music is a rare fusion of traditional Mongolian
folk and rock music. Their rhythms and vocals are truly powerful and
innovative," said Mr. Molyneux.


The Altan Urag Band was formed in 2002 by six graduates of the Music and Dance
College of Mongolia. Motivated by their passion for Mongolia's rich tradition
and culture, and their goal to perform for Mongolia and beyond, the band
introduced a new fusion of music that could move and speak to the world. 


"There was a time when people lost interest in our traditions. We combined
traditional folk music with modern day rock to draw people's attention back to
the depth and spirit of Mongolia and its culture. We're grateful for SouthGobi's
support. Our partnership will help promote Mongolian music to the world and to
Mongolians. We look forward to a fruitful long-term partnership with SouthGobi,"
stated Erdenebat, leader of Altan Urag. 


Altan Urag's first international tour was to Russia in 2004. Since then they
have performed at prominent international film and music festivals and concerts
in Vietnam, Thailand, Uzbekistan and the United States. Altan Urag also was
featured in the closing ceremony of the Eurasia film awards in Kazakhstan,
performing Ochigdor l, from the official soundtrack from the film Mongol,
directed by Sergei Bodrov and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign
Language Film.


SouthGobi encourages people to familiarize themselves with the Altan Urag's
great work by accessing the band's website (www.altanurag.mn) and by viewing
videos of their performances available on YouTube. 


The partnership with Altan Urag is emblematic of SouthGobi's program to support
the communities in which it operates. SouthGobi has played a significant role in
contributing to infrastructure development in the South Gobi, which has helped
to enhance trade and economic activity in surrounding local communities. 


SouthGobi also has improved living and working conditions for Mongolian border
officers by building accommodation facilities at the Shivee Khureen border
station. It has also renovated the Gurvantes secondary school dormitory to
provide the students with a better learning and living environment. In addition,
SouthGobi runs a university scholarship program, and provided six students from
Gurvantes soum with scholarships this year. Among other contributions, SouthGobi
has donated 10 million tugrugs to the Gobi Development Fund, computers and beds
to the Gurvantes hospital and office furniture to local organizations.
