MacKenzie Davis, Managing Partner at SailingStone, said, "We have long been 
troubled by corporate governance practices at TRQ, and have worked diligently 
with the Board to attempt to address these issues. Unfortunately, the Board has 
refused to engage in productive dialogue, and we are left with no choice but to 
vote AGAINST the independent directors. This is not a decision which we have 
entered into lightly, given our significant investment and our long-term 
commitment to the Company. But, the fact remains that this is a world class 
asset that deserves world class corporate governance practices so that all 
stakeholders - Rio Tinto, the minority shareholders and the people and 
government of Mongolia - are aligned to achieve success at both the project and 
the corporate level."
