INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR STOCKHOLDERS
 
The Board of Directors of Mongolian Exploration Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("Mongolian" or the "Company") is furnishing this INFORMATION STATEMENT to shareholders in connection with a majority action of shareholders (the "Action") of Mongolian taken on May 2, 2006, in accordance with sections 78.315 and 78.320, respectively of the Nevada Revised Statutes. These stockholders collectively own in excess of the required majority of the outstanding voting securities of Mongolian necessary for the adoption of the action. The following matters were approved:
 
 
1.
To approve the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to:

a.
change the name of Mongolian from "Mongolian Explorations Ltd" to "Knewtrino, Inc."; and

b.
Change the authorized share capital of Mongolian to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share

 
 
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN ANY OF YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES AT THIS TIME.
 
 
This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about May 13, 2006. This Information Statement constitutes notice to Mongolian's stockholders of corporate action by stockholders without a meeting as required by Chapter 607 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
 
 
The date of this Information Statement is May 02, 2006.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 
 
Q: What am I being asked to approve?
 
A: You are not being asked to approve anything. This Information Statement is being provided to you solely for your information. Four stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting common stock of Mongolian (the "Majority Stockholders") have already agreed to approve:
 
 
1.
To approve the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to:

a.
change the name of Mongolian from "Mongolian Explorations Ltd" to "Knewtrino, Inc."; and

b.
Change the authorized share capital of Mongolian to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share

 
 
Q:     Why have the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders agreed to approve these actions?
 
A: As a result of the rapid deterioration of the political situation in Mongolia, the board of directors has decided to abandon Mongolian’s planned mining operations in that country. Instead, the board has elected to pursue opportunities outside of mining in Mongolia. The reasons for this decision are further discussed in the Company’s filing on Form 8-K on April 24, 2006. The board is actively searching for opportunities which it believes on balance will better serve the shareholders that pursuit of the previous business. The board has not yet decided whether such business operations will require the acquisition of one or more companies. All of these actions are necessary to position the Company for an entry into another field. The name Mongolian Explorations will, in the judgment of the board, seriously impair the Company’s ability to pursue business opportunities or hire qualified employees outside of the realm of mining operations in Mongolia and the increase in shares authorized will provide maximum flexibility to pursue other business opportunities.
 
GENERAL INFORMATION
 
Outstanding Shares and Voting Rights
 
On April 30, 2006 (the "Record Date"), Mongolian had 9,350,000 outstanding shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. These are the securities that would have been entitled to vote if a meeting was required to be held. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The outstanding shares of common stock at the close of business on the Record Date for determining stockholders who would have been entitled to notice of and to vote on the amendments to Mongolian's Articles of Incorporation, were held by approximately forty-two (42) stockholders of record. In connection with the various matters outlined in this Information Statement, Mongolian's Board of Directors and a majority of its shareholders, by written consent in lieu of a shareholders meeting, have agreed to:
 
 
·
amend the Articles of Incorporation of Mongolian to change the name of Mongolian to "Knewtrino, Inc.";
 
·
increase the authorized common shares of the corporation to 500,000,000
 
The principal effect of these actions will be to permit the Company to issue more shares.
 
Approval of these actions requires the affirmative consent of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Mongolian. Majority Stockholders holding a total of more than 5,400,000 shares of common stock (57.8%), have already agreed to these actions.
 
Approval of the Number of Authorized Shares. The increase in the number of authorized shares is intended to give the Company maximum flexibility in seeking financing or pursuing other business opportunities outside of the Mongolian mining business space. Approval of this action requires the affirmative consent of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Mongolian. Majority Stockholders holding a total of more than 5,400,000 shares of common stock (57.8%), have already agreed to this action.

Approval of the Name Change. The proposed change of Mongolian's name to "Knewtrino, Inc." is intended to convey more clearly a sense of Mongolian's business and to allow it to pursue other opportunities. The name Mongolian Explorations Ltd. very much limits the Company’s ability to pursue other opportunities. Approval of the name change requires the affirmative consent of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Mongolian. Majority Stockholders holding a total of more than 5,400,000 shares of common stock (57.8%), have already agreed to this action.
 
Record Date
 
The close of business on April 30, 2005, has been fixed as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive this Information Statement.
 
Expenses of Information Statement
 
The expenses of mailing this Information Statement will be borne by Mongolian, including expenses in connection with the preparation and mailing of this Information Statement and all documents that now accompany or may hereafter supplement it. It is contemplated that brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the common stock, held of record by such persons, and that Mongolian will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.
 
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to Be Acted on
 
No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, through security holdings or otherwise, in any action covered by the related resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders, which is not shared by all other stockholders.
 
 
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
 
 
The following table sets forth information concerning the ownership of common stock with respect to shareholders who were known to Mongolian to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the common stock as of April 30, 2005, and officers and directors of Mongolian individually and as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the beneficial owner has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of common stock.

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
 
Amendment to Authorized Share Capital 
 
Mongolian's current authorized share capitalization will increase from 25,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The primary consequence of these actions will be to allow the board of directors to substantially dilute the current shareholders of the corporation without additional shareholder approval.
 
Name Change 
 
The proposed amendment to Mongolian's Articles of Incorporation will cause Mongolian to change its name to "Knewtrino, Inc." On filing of the Amendment to the Articles of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State, the name change will be effective.
 
General
 
The foregoing amendments will become effective on the opening of business on the twenty first day following the mailing of the Definitive Stockholders Information Statement to Mongolian's stockholders. Any executive officer, as required by the Nevada Law, is entitled to execute and file the Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of the State of the State of Nevada and such other agencies or entities as may be deemed required or necessary.
 
Following the name change, the share certificates you now hold will continue to be valid. In the future, new share certificates will be issued bearing the new name, but this in no way will effect the validity of your current share certificates. Certificates bearing our new name will be issued in due course as old share certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to our transfer agent: Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 500 E. Warm Springs Road, Ste 240, Las Vegas NV 89119.

SHARE CAPITALIZATION OF MONGOLIAN
 
Material Terms of the Common Stock 
 
As of April 30, 2005, there were 9,350,000 shares issued and outstanding. No additional shares will be issued by virtue of these actions.
 
The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to shareholders. Shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors may from time to time declare out of funds of Mongolian, legally available for the payment of dividends. The holders of shares of common stock do not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any stock, obligations or other securities of Mongolian and have no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities.
 
On any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Mongolian, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata on all of the assets of Mongolian available for distribution to shareholders.
 
The foregoing summary of the material terms of the capital stock of Mongolian does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to the provisions of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of Mongolian, as amended by the Amendment to the Articles attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Board of Directors Report on Executive Compensation
 
The Board of Directors of Mongolian will be responsible for reviewing and determining the annual salary and other compensation of the executive officers and key employees of Mongolian.

Mongolian will provide base salaries to its executive officers and key employees sufficient to provide motivation to achieve certain operating goals. Although salaries are not specifically tied to performance, incentive bonuses are available to certain executive officers and key employees. In the future, executive compensation may include without limitation cash bonuses, stock option grants and stock reward grants. In addition, Mongolian may set up a pension plan or similar retirement plans.
 
Mongolian has no pension, health, annuity, insurance, profit sharing or similar benefit plans.
 
Stock Options
 
Mongolian has no stock options outstanding.
 
 
Familial Relationships
 
None.

Indemnification
 
The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions for indemnification of the officers and directors of Mongolian. The Bylaws require Mongolian to indemnify such persons to the full extent permitted by law. The Bylaws with certain exceptions, eliminate any personal liability of a director to Mongolian or its stockholders for monetary damages to Mongolian or its stockholders for gross negligence or lack of care in carrying out the director's fiduciary duties. Nevada law permits such indemnification if a director or officer acts in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of Mongolian. A director or officer must be indemnified as to any matter in which he successfully defends himself.
 
The officers and directors of Mongolian are accountable to the stockholders of Mongolian as fiduciaries, which means such officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and integrity in handling Mongolian's affairs.
 
A stockholder may be able to institute legal action on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated stockholders, to recover damages where Mongolian has failed or has refused to observe the law. Stockholders may, subject to applicable rules of civil procedure, be able to bring a class action or derivative suit to enforce their rights, including rights under certain federal and state securities laws and regulations. Stockholders who have suffered losses in connection with the purchase or sale of their interest in Mongolian, due to a breach of fiduciary duty by an officer or director of Mongolian in connection with such sale or purchase including, but not limited to, the misapplication by any such officer or director of the proceeds from the sale of any securities, may be able to recover such losses from Mongolian.
 
Mongolian may not be liable to its stockholders for errors in judgment or other acts or omissions not amounting to intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, since provisions have been made in the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws limiting such liability. The Articles of Incorporation and By-laws also provide for indemnification of the officers and directors of Mongolian in most cases for any liability suffered by them or arising out of their activities as officers and directors of Mongolian, if they had not engaged in intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law. Therefore, purchasers of these securities may have a more limited right of action that they would have except for this limitation in the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws. Mongolian has been advised that, it is the position of the SEC that, insofar as the foregoing provisions may be invoked to disclaim liability for damages arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such provisions are against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and are therefore unenforceable.
 
Mongolian may also purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of directors and officers, insuring against any liability asserted against such persons incurred in the capacity of director or officer or arising out of such status, whether or not Mongolian would have the power to indemnify such persons.
 
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
Mongolian's current auditor is the firm of Amisano Hanson. There have never been changes in, or disagreements with, accountants on accounting and/or financial disclosure.
 
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION 
 
Mongolian files annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You can read and copy any materials that Mongolian files with SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You can obtain information about the operation of the SEC's Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a Web site that contains information we file electronically with the SEC, which you can access over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of these materials may also be obtained by mail from the Public Reference Section of the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates.

INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE 
 
The SEC allows Mongolian to "incorporate by reference" the information it files with them, which means that Mongolian can disclose important information to you without re-printing the information in this Information Statement by referring you to prior and future filings with the SEC. The information Mongolian incorporates by reference is an important part of this Information Statement. Subsequent information that Mongolian files with SEC will automatically update and supersede this information.
 
Mongolian incorporates by reference the following documents filed by Mongolian pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934: (i) Mongolian's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005; and (ii) any future filings Mongolian makes with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act pertaining to this information statement. You may request a copy of these filings (other than an exhibit to any of these filings unless Mongolian has specifically incorporated that exhibit by reference into the filing), at no cost, by writing or telephoning Mongolian at the following address:

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
 
You should rely only on the information Mongolian has provided or incorporated by reference in this Information Statement or any supplement. Mongolian has not authorized any person to provide information other than that provided here. Mongolian has not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should not assume that the information in this Information Statement or any supplement is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of the document.
