SGQ SouthGobi Resources Ltd

Alexander Molyneux, President of SouthGobi Energy Resources Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:SGQ), and Gene Wusaty, Chief Operating Officer, announced today that an
agreement has been signed with Glencore International AG to provide SouthGobi
with coking coal marketing expertise and river barging/vessel loading logistical
services for SouthGobi's Mamahak coal project in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.


"We have developed Mamahak to a point that we are now ready to introduce our
high-quality coking coal to the Asian markets," Mr. Wusaty said. "Our agreement
with Glencore is a major milestone in the development of this project."


With the coal marketing agreement now in place, SouthGobi plans to extract and
ship an initial 30,000-tonne trial shipment prior to the end of the second
quarter of 2009 for delivery to various Asian customers for testing. The coal
will be trucked on a recently completed 34-kilometre haul road to a new
barge-loading facility on the Mahakam River.


Glencore International is one of the world's largest suppliers of a wide range
of commodities and raw materials to industrial consumers. Glencore, through its
subsidiaries, is a market leader in the marketing of coal to the world's
industrial consumers. The agreement with Glencore gives them exclusive marketing
involvement for the company's coking coal sales for a two-year period which is
subject to a review in 12 months.


SouthGobi, through its wholly owned subsidiary Pt. Multi Mamahak Batubara (MMB),
has commenced the development of surface coal deposits in four concessions
covering 22,968 hectares, at the Mamahak Project. SouthGobi has an 85% working
interest in the project. The company was authorized to begin mining on the MCM
concession under a location permit issued last January.


Gene Wusaty, SouthGobi Energy's Chief Operating Officer, a qualified person as
defined by National Instrument (NI) 43-101, supervised the preparation of the
technical information in this release. A NI 43-101 technical report on the
Mamahak coal project was filed on March 26, 2009, and is available at

largest shareholder, currently owning, directly and indirectly, approximately
