After a near-knockout in 2016 on the back of a default, Mongolian Mining Corproation MMC is on track to restore its financial health. The Hong Kong-listed coking coal producer has announced plans to tap the US dollar bond market for the first time in nearly two years.

In 2016, MMC defaulted on a $600 million bond and US dollar bank loan to lenders that included BNP Paribas Singapore and ICBC. The default came after coking coal prices fell to their lowest level in a decade. The company’s main product is hard coking coal, all of which is exported to China.
