HONG KONG, CHINA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/14/12 -- SouthGobi Resources Ltd. (TSX: SGQ)(HKSE: 1878) SouthGobi notes its share price fell by 9.9% and 7.6% in Toronto and Hong Kong respectively on 12 March 2012, with trading volumes substantially above recent averages. The Company believes the activity is associated with the announcement by Standard & Poor's Canadian Index Operations after the close of trading on 9 March 2012 that its shares would no longer be included in the Quarterly S&P/TSX Composite Index with effect from 19 March 2012. It is highly likely that index fund based investors are reducing holdings of SouthGobi shares.
