U.S. Government, World Bank Pool Assets to Ease Water Scarcity - ENS, WASHINGTON - Mar 23, 2011
www.ens-newswire.com/ens/mar2011/2011-03-23-02.html
"WASHINGTON, DC, March 23, 2011 (ENS) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and World Bank President Robert Zoellick Tuesday signed an unprecedented memorandum of understanding that harnesses their strengths to improve water security in developing countries and reduce tension between nations over shared waters.
The agreement was signed at the World Bank headquarters in Washington in recognition of World Water Day.

From the remote sensing technology of NASA to water conservation technologies being developed by the U.S. Agriculture Department, 18 federal government agencies will contribute their skills to provide reliable, sustainable access to water to meet human needs, support livelihoods and protect ecosystems, the officials said.
Secretary Clinton said, "The water crisis is a health crisis, it's a farming crisis, it's an economic crisis, it's a climate crisis, and increasingly, it is a political crisis. And therefore, we must have an equally comprehensive response."
The new agreement paves the way for closer collaboration between the World Bank and the United States government to support developing countries in managing global water crises such as the lack of safe drinking water and sanitation, diminishing aquifers, drought, flooding, and climate change impacts.
"We want to combine our expertise to drive high-impact change in people's lives," Clinton said. "We think this is an important step. We're excited about what it can produce for the people who need our help to get the water they desperately require."
Zoellick said, "Look at almost any poverty issue - you will find water. A lack of safe water and adequate sanitation is the world's single largest cause of illness, responsible for two million deaths a year. That's four people every minute - most of them children."
"The World Bank Group is helping countries balance competing water demands for agriculture, energy, people, and the environment. The enhanced partnership we are launching today with the United States will give a real boost to this work," said Zoellick, who is a former deputy secretary of state and U.S. trade representative, appointed to both positions by President George W. Bush.
The new agreement is expected to add value to ongoing efforts by:
+ providing infomation and expert advice to help manage water resources effectively
+ facilitating reliable, sustainable access to water to meet human needs, support livelihoods and protect ecosystems
+ supporting water, sanitation and hygiene to prevent disease
+ predicting drought and floods
+ rehabilitating watersheds and wetlands
+ improving water use and irrigation practices
The partnership grew out of Secretary Clinton's call last year to broaden the United States' international collaboration on water. The United States is the World Bank's single largest shareholder and one of the largest donors to regional development banks. From 2005 to 2009, the U.S. government invested $3.4 billion dollars in water-related foreign aid.
In Indonesia, the U.S. Agency for International Development has begun a five-year, $34 million water, sanitation, and hygiene project to reach more than two million of Indonesia's urban poor, Clinton said at the signing event.
USAID is also supporting a project in India to provide slum dwellers in eight states with municipal water and sanitation systems, she said.

The U.S. government foreign aid agency Millennium Challenge Corporation signed a $275 million compact in October with Jordan, one of the five most water-deprived countries in the world, to improve water supply and waste water treatment.
"In terms of our diplomatic outreach, we are elevating water as a priority in our relationships not only with nations, but also regional and global institutions," Clinton said.
Zoellick and Clinton were joined by Steve Hilton, chairman of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, and Jeff Seabright, Environment and Water Resources, Coca-Cola, who made pledges to support water and sanitation programs.
Hilton announced a pledge of $50 million over five years to address the water needs of more than one million people in sub-Saharan Africa and water stressed areas of India and Mexico. The $50 million will fund a three-part strategy to deliver access to sustainable safe water; increase advocacy and capacity; and expand knowledge on global water best practices for communities, governments, NGOs and donors.
"It is estimated that 3.4 million people die each year from contaminated water and poor sanitation and hygiene practices," said Hilton. "To put that number into context, it's like the entire population of Connecticut or Oklahoma dying every year.
Hilton said, "2.1 million children die every year from contaminated drinking water, poor sanitation and poor hygiene practices. That's like the population of New Mexico or Utah, dying every year. It's unthinkable, but we can't afford to ignore the problem."
On behalf of Coca-Cola, Seabright announced that that $6 million will be dedicated to water and sanitation partnerships aimed at improving the lives of an estimated 250,000 women and girls on the African continent.
Participating in the event via satellite from Cape Town, South Africa where World Water Day events were in full swing, were His Royal Highness Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange, a long-time water security supporter; South Africa's Environment and Water Minister Edna Molewa, and Dr. Joan Clos, executive director of UN-Habitat.

+ 126.5 million tonnes of the JORC compliant mineral resource has an average in situ grade of 58.1% Fe, 2.4% SiO2, 6.0% Al2O3 &0.09% P. This is hosted by the duricrust portion of the weathered cap overlying the magnetite resource, &is suitable for the production of DSO iron ore products
+ Production of DSO for export as Lumps &Sinter Fines will commence with ore @or above the resource grade &@a predicted weight recovery of 85%. Tonnage scale pilot plant testwork indicates that 55% of this will be as Lumps &45% will be Sinter Fines
+ A 1.1 billion tonne JORC-compliant saprolite iron ore mineral resource has been defined with an average in-situ grade of 40.0% Fe. This is hosted in the saprolite &lower grade duricrust portions of the weathered cap overlying the magnetite resource. This is suitable for the production of Sinter Fines &a high grade iron ore concentrate
+ Metallurgical testwork has produced concentrates averaging 64.4% Fe, 1.9% SiO2, 2.0% Al2O3, &0.06% P. On-going pilot plant testwork is underway to determine final grades &recoveries
+ The magnetite JORC-compliant mineral resource has grown to 11.6 billion tonnes @an average in situ grade of 30.1% Fe hosted in fresh magnetite Banded Iron Formation. This is suitable for the production of a very high grade iron ore concentrate

EurOmax Reports 0.5 Million Ounces Gold @5.91g/t &2.1 Million Ounces Silver @26.78g/t Initial Resource Estimate for Breznik Project, Bulgaria - Mar 29, 2011
+ @the base case 2.0 g/t gold cut-off grade, the Breznik project contains an inferred resource of 2.4 million tonnes @a grade of 5.91 g/t Au &26.78 g/t Ag for 463,217 ounces of contained gold &2,100,112 ounces of silver.
+ This shallow resource lies within an upper Cretaceous volcanic-sedimentary sequence comprising andesitic volcanic rocks with intercalated siltstone. These rocks are cross cut by diorite porphyry stocks &dykes. Within the 19 square kilometre license, gold &silver mineralization has been identified in eight zones that have an east west strike extent of up to 2.5 kilometers. The zones consist of delicately banded quartz-rhodochrosite veins &breccia veins within altered volcanic rocks.
+ Most of the previous work has focused on Zone 1, which is well delineated, but remains open @depth below 250 metres where it appears to become thicker &higher grade.
+ Of the eight known zones, seven remain open @depth &Zones 4 &6 are open to the east, while Zones 7 &8 are open to both east &west. It is believed that further step-out &down dip drilling could quickly expand this initial resource.
+ The mineralized zones are hosted by the andesitic volcanic rocks &siltstones, &dip to the south, shallowing @a depth of about 250 meters. The shallowing of the veins &the presence of diorite porphyry stocks &dykes combined with a chargeability anomaly to the south suggests the potential for associated porphyry-style mineralization. ...

Urgent Actions Needed to Prevent Recurring Food Crises; Policy Brief outlines seven key global measures to avert another food crisis - IFPRI - Mar 16, 2011
- Recent trends in food prices—higher levels &higher volatility—mirror trends predicted by a number of experts. Given the complex web of factors influencing global food security, governments of developed &developing countries, as well as international organizations, must use a comprehensive approach to prevent a food crisis reoccurrence. This comprehensive approach should comprise a number of initiatives &reforms; while some of these have been proposed before, their merits are even more relevant today &justify reprioritization &reallocation of national &international budgets.
There are 7 main initiatives that governments &institutions should promptly implement:
+ Effective policies &technology investments to minimize food–fuel competition.
+ Social protection, especially social safety nets, for the most vulnerable groups.
+ Transparent, fair, &open global trade.
+ A global emergency physical grain reserve.
+ Policies &investments to promote agricultural growth, in particular smallholder productivity, in the face of climate change.
+ Investments by national governments in climate change adaptation &mitigation using the full potential that agriculture offers.

West African Iron Ore - Announces the Closing of its Acquisition of Iron Ore Assets in Guinea &a $12,600,000 PP; Based on mapped surface extent &observed lateral continuity, &assuming a depth of 200 meters, dilution factors between 30 &60% &a conservative estimate of density of 3 tonnes/m3, an exploration target size of between 2.9 &5.1 billion tonnes can be estimated for the two largest targets, Kalyadi &Sambalama. An average grade of 36% Fe was calculated on all 186 surface samples within mineralized units in the Forécariah Project, while an average grade of 39% Fe was obtained on 78 surface samples from the Kalyadi &Sambalama targets. Acknowledging the fact that surface sampling within the mineralized targets may not be fully representative for the mineralization as a whole, an overall grade range of between 25 &35% Fe can be proposed for Kalyadi &Sambalama targets in the Forécariah tenement. @this stage insufficient geological information is available to define exploration targets for an additional eight zones of confirmed mineralization

Lithium &Potash: the Alkali Metals Issue - HGR, Mar Edition - Mar 30, 2011
- Kirk -
- Welcome to the April edition of The Highgrade Review. This month's issue is completely dedicated to two Alkali Metals, known in the investment community as lithium and potash.
Everywhere you look these days, food is news. From increasing demand from a burgeoning Chinese middle class that has sent commodity prices soaring to a Tunisian fruit seller sparking a revolution it's hard to go a day without hearing that the world food situation has entered dangerous territory. The food crisis has sent prices of potash, which replaces soil nutrients, soaring. A few years ago one would be hard pressed to find any junior potash exploration companies. Today, a number of projects are being advancing in Canada and abroad.
Lithium, one of the more unconventional commodity plays, is also one of the most challenging for investors to grasp. As Virginia Heffernan noted, "Lithium is one of the more difficult commodities to assess because economic viability depends so much on the deposit type and the ability to covert resources into a product that can be successfully marketed to end users." This hasn't held back junior exploration companies as a number have been quick to react to what they believe will be a battery of future demand.
This month kicks off with two lists. First we count down "5 Lithium Stocks to Watch in 2011" and then we continue with "5 Potash Stocks to Watch in 2011".
We also bring you exclusive one on one interviews with the people making the headlines. First, we talk to the man on this month's cover, Patrico Varas the head of Western Potash (TSXV: WPX) and we also connected with his counterpart Farhad Abasov from Allana Potash (TSXV: AAA).
On the lithium side we talk with the CEOs behind two diversified junior companies: William Randall from Rodinia Lithium (TSXV: RM) and Patrick Highsmith from Lithium One (TSXV: LI).
We hope you enjoy the issue - feel free to leave your feedback in the comments section. ...-

HL:
+ Following the successful airborne geophysics survey conducted in July ´10 @Equatorial’s 100% owned Mayoko-Moussondji Iron Project the Company completed a similar high resolution survey in December ´10 @its 100% owned Badondo Iron Project in the North of the Republic of Congo.
+ Magnetic &radiometric data has identified anomalies with a combined strike length in excess of 22km (see figure 1).
+ Rock chip samples collected by the French Bureau of Geological &Mining Research
(“BRGM”) during a ground survey in ´07 were independently assayed in December ´10 &have returned assay values of up to 64.7% Fe.
+ The 22km of identified anomolies represent a significant increase in strike length prospective for hemitite &itabirite hosted iron mineralisation from the 7km previously identified by BRGM.
+ The data confirms the Badondo prospect identified by BRGM as being 9km long &has
revealed a new 13km long prospect, Belinga North.
+ Independent 2D &3D modelling of the geophysical data has commenced &it is expected full results, including an exploration target, will be announced in February ´11.
+ Planning is underway for an initial drilling campaign @Badondo during ´11 using helicopter borne portable rigs. ...

Canadian Mining Company Bid Afghanistan Hajigak Iron Ore Project - B - Jan 20, 2011
http://bantolo.net/canadian-mining-company-bid-afghanistan-h…
"Canadian mining company has made the shortlist to bid for Afghanistan’s giant Hajigak iron ore deposit.
Toronto-based Kilo Goldmines Ltd. (TSX-V: KGL) is one of the companies the Afghan Mines Ministry invited this week to bid on what it claims is Asia’s largest unmined iron deposit.
Fifteen of the shortlisted companies are from India, two are from Iran, and the rest are from the United States, Turkey, China, Britain and Australia.
“We are very happy with the group of companies that have been shortlisted. They represent the high level of international interest in developing Afghanistan’s mineral wealth,” Mines Minister Wahidullah Shahrani said in a statement.
Kilo Goldmines has gold and iron ore properties in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The U.S. Geological Survey and the Pentagon estimate Afghanistan is sitting atop nearly $1 trillion in untapped deposits of iron, copper, cobalt and gold. Thick veins of industrial metals such as lithium, a key component in batteries for laptops and smart phones, also run through the country.
The Afghan government estimates the Hajigak deposit, in the country’s mountainous Bamyan province, has some 1.8 billion tons of iron ore.
The mines ministry has set an early-August deadline for bids, and exploration is expected to begin next year.
“We look forward to a successful bid round and to the eventual development of Hajigak,” Shahrani said.
“The development of Hajigak will involve major infrastructure improvements and will stimulate the local economy and improve the lives of the citizens of Bamyan province and beyond.”
Most of the deposit is in Bamyan province, 130 km west of the capital, Kabul. The rest of the deposit spills over into neighbouring Parwan and Wardak provinces.
Violence has flared recently in those areas as insurgents mount attacks away from their southern strongholds, including Kandahar province, where the bulk of Canada’s soldiers are deployed. "

Bullion Monarch Mining - Acquires Bauxite Property in Brazil; Geologists believe the deposit to be located @surface or near surface covering a large area, possibly up to 25 km in length &up to 5 km in width; surface sampling intended to prove the existence of bauxite mineralization, have returned Al203 content between 28.8% &61.8% with numerous values greater than 60%. Geologists have concluded that the grade of the aluminum oxide, @the project, is uniformly above the cutoff grade for operating bauxite mines; CEO: "Dourave management is excited to be involved in the development of what could be a world class bauxite deposit in a prolific mining center. The geological similarities between the Niquelandia Bauxite project &the nearby Barro Alto Bauxite deposit, along with the high grades of Bauxite with relatively low levels of Silica &Titanium, present the possibility of defining a large volume bauxite resource containing zones of higher-grade, high- quality &possible refractory bauxite. Future development of the project will be supported by excellent infrastructure, with asphalt &all weather road access, close proximity to the major cites of Brasilia &Goiania, availability of cheap hydroelectric power from the Serra da Mesa hydroelectric plant &the proposed extensions of existing rail access (Ferrovia 354) to nearby Uruacu &possibly Niquelandia in the future" - Apr 5, 2011

Talon Metals - Announces the Initial Drill Results from Target Area III @the Trairao Iron Project, Brazil; CEO: “We are delighted with these preliminary drilling results from Target Area 3 which effectively extends iron mineralization drilled over an additional 5,500 metres of strike for the entire project area. Although the holes are drilled on a wide spacing, it is particularly pleasing that the drilling indicates that the mineralization extends to depths in excess of 100 metres in some of the area, which necessitates that follow up &infill drilling will extend to greater depths, not only in Target Area 3, but also in Target Areas 1 &2. Initial drilling on Target Areas 1 &2 only extended to 50 metres depth, with a number of holes terminating in good mineralization. It is also very encouraging that we continue to intersect high grade mineralization, particularly in those drill intersections in the eluvial deposits, which have now been drilled for the first time on the Trairão Iron Project, &thus they would appear to represent an additional higher grade target” - Apr 6, 2011

Black Iron could rival Consolidated Thompson - Bharti - MW, TORONTO - Apr 5, 2011
- Matthew Hill -
www.miningweekly.com/article/black-iron-could-rival-consolid…
"TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Black Iron, which listed on the TSX last week, could become as big as Consolidated Thompson, the company’s backer, Forbes & Manhattan CEO Stan Bharti said on Monday.
Black Iron owns the Shymanivske project in the Ukraine, located next to the Kryviy Rih integrated steelmaking complex that ArcelorMittal bought for $4,8-billion in 2005.
“We think this will be as big as Consolidated Thompson and Alderon,” Bharti said in an interview with Mining Weekly Online.
“We’re very excited about it.”
US miner Cliffs Natural Resource bought Consolidated Thompson, which owns iron-ore mines near Canada’s Labrador City, for $4-billion earlier this year.
Black Iron debuted on the TSX on March 29, raising C$35-million in a share sale.
The company bought Shymanivske last year, and aims to complete a scoping study on the project later in November, CEO Matt Simpson told Mining Weekly Online.
He added the company would then complete a feasibility study around October 2012, with first production pencilled in for late 2015.
The project has 345-million tons of measured and indicated resources at 31,83% iron and 469-million tons of inferred resources.
Bharti said that Shymanivske is part of the third-biggest iron-ore camp globally , after Brazil and Australia’s Pilbara, and that there is nearby rail and power.
Black Iron is headed by Matt Simpson, the former general manager of Rio Tinto’s Iron Ore Company, and Forbes & Manhattan provides consulting services to the firm.
Bharti, the owner of Forbes & Manhattan, owns 8,8% of Black Iron after the initial public offering, according to the iron-ore junior’s March 16 prospectus.
Black Iron was trading 3% down on Tuesday at C$1,36 a share, giving it a C$183-million market capitalisation. "

Black Iron debuted on the TSX on March 29, raising C$35-million in a share sale.
The company bought Shymanivske last year, and aims to complete a scoping study on the project later in November, CEO Matt Simpson told Mining Weekly Online.
He added the company would then complete a feasibility study around October 2012, with first production pencilled in for late 2015.
The project has 345-million tons of measured and indicated resources at 31,83% iron and 469-million tons of inferred resources.
Bharti said that Shymanivske is part of the third-biggest iron-ore camp globally
, after Brazil and Australia’s Pilbara, and that there is nearby rail and power.Black Iron is headed by Matt Simpson, the former general manager of Rio Tinto’s Iron Ore Company, and Forbes & Manhattan provides consulting services to the firm.
Bharti, the owner of Forbes & Manhattan, owns 8,8% of Black Iron after the initial public offering, according to the iron-ore junior’s March 16 prospectus.
Black Iron was trading 3% down on Tuesday at C$1,36 a share, giving it a C$183-million market capitalisation. "
Milliardär Branson stellt "fliegendes" U-Boot vor; Der britische Milliardär Richard Branson will nicht nur hoch hinaus, sondern auch nach ganz unten: Neben seinem Vorhaben, kommerzielle Weltraumflüge anzubieten, will der Chef des Virgin-Konzerns mit einem Mini-U-Boot zu den tiefsten Stellen der Ozeane vordringen. An der Seite des US-Abenteurers Chris Welsh stellte Branson in Kalifornien das Unterwasser-Gefährt vor - Web.de - Apr 6, 2011

"Der mit einem Spezialflügel ausgestattete Einsitzer soll Stellen von mehr als 20.000 Fuß (mehr als 6000 Meter) Tiefe erreichen, in die bislang kein Mensch vorgedrungen ist. Der Weltraum sei schon vor langer Zeit vom Menschen erobert worden, kommerzielle Raumflüge seien in greifbarer Nähe - nun sei "die letzte große Herausforderung für die Menschheit das Erreichen und Erobern der Tiefen der Weltmeere", sagte Branson bei der Präsentation in Newport Beach südlich von Los Angeles. "Es waren mehr Menschen auf dem Mond als unterhalb von 20.000 Fuß" , fügte der 60-Jährige hinzu.
Am Steuer des "fliegenden" U-Bootes, das äußerlich an ein Raumschiff erinnert und dank des Spezialflügels bis zu zehn Kilometer tief tauchen kann, soll der US-Segler und Abenteurer Welsh sitzen. In einem Zeitraum von zwei Jahren sollen die jeweils tiefsten Punkte der fünf Weltmeere erreicht werden. Wenn alles nach Plan verläuft und die Tests des Drucksystems erfolgreich sind, soll es Ende dieses Jahres losgehen. Das U-Boot kann 24 Stunden autonom sein und soll die Unterwasserwelt filmen. "

Israel's National Solar Energy Center Looking to Boost its Power from Solar Energy with the use of Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries; Seder Boqer, Israel --- Renewable energy is often intermittent &unreliable, but with the right storage technology, it can become a substitute for baseline power. A paper that will soon come out from the National Solar Energy Center in Israel hypothesizes that the country -- which now only gets a tiny fraction of its power from solar -- could conceivably boost the total to 90 percent with things like vanadium redox flow batteries &pumped hydro storage, according to David Faiman, the director of the center &chair of the department of solar energy &environmental physics @Ben-Gurion University here. Faiman, is a fan of vanadium redox batteries, which are large tanks with flowing electrolytes. Unlike sodium sulfur batteries, vanadium flow batteries don’t need to be heated to high temperatures. The batteries also resist corrosion, he said - GTM, ISRAEL - Apr 1, 2011

Uranium mining techniques; When it comes to mining method &approach employed for any particular uranium deposit, the decision is governed by the nature of the orebody, safety, environmental &economic considerations. Over the last 60 years, developments have changed uranium mining to include production methods which had previously been absent from the industry landscape. In ´09, the breakdown of reported production was as follows: conventional underground &open pit mining @57 percent; in situ leach (ISL) mining @36 percent &by-product mining @7 percent. Investors will note that Olympic Dam was classified as by-product rather than in underground category for reporting purposes - U3O8.biz - Mar 30, 2011

Freshwater supply in demand &under threat; IFPRI &Veolia release study on scope of &solutions to world’s future water woes; SRF @IFPRI: "Only by moving toward sustainable models &changing today's approach to water management &water productivity can we ensure a sustainable &prosperous future. A sustainable, blue path generates less waste &results in less pollution, more reuse, &more effective management &use of water @all levels of society. That means individuals, cities, agriculture &industry all need to participate because of a common, vested interest" - IFPRI - Mar 21, 2011
- S. Buzelli -
- Unless more sustainable water resource management practices are adopted by companies and individuals, almost half of the global economy - and more than half of the world's population - will be exposed to severe water scarcity by 2050.
These are the results of an analysis conducted by Veolia Water and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), an international agricultural research center studying sustainable solutions to ending hunger and poverty.
The key findings of the analysis show that current water management practices will put at risk approximately $63 trillion of the 2050 projected global GDP, and that approximately 4.8 billion people (52 percent of the world population) will live in water-stressed areas by 2050. But if sustainable behaviors and practices are adopted, more than 1 billion people and approximately $17 trillion of GDP could escape exposure to risks and challenges coming from severe water scarcity.
To assess the impact of water on economic growth, IFPRI and Veolia Water analyzed what economic growth levels can be sustained at today's water management efficiency and to what extent gains in efficiency and water productivity can sustain higher levels of growth. Four scenarios were developed representing four different levels of water management efficiency, and were assessed against three levels of economic growth to examine in each case the impact of growth on water scarcity and food scarcity.
It's hoped that the results of this analysis will help point to a sustainable path for our society. ...-

Save The World Air - to Begin Phase II Testing of Technology for Increasing Efficiency of Oil Production &Transportation; Company Provides Detailed Images of Applied Oil Technology (AOT(TM)) Prototype to Be Used in Test - Apr 13, 2011
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/STWA-Inc-to-Begin-Phase-II-iw-…
"SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - 04/13/11) - STWA, Inc. (OTC.BB:ZERO - News) ("STWA" or the "Company"), an innovative company creating technology focused on energy efficiency of large-scale energy production and improved fuel economy for diesel fleets, announced today that it is about to begin Phase II Testing of its Applied Oil Technology (AOT™) prototype unit at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) in Casper, Wyoming, and provided detailed images of the unit.
AOT™ is a revolutionary new technology for lowering extraction and transportation costs for pipeline operators and increasing pipeline efficiency. AOT™ utilizes patented processes that reduce the viscosity of crude oil, which reduces operational power requirements thereby reducing costs and improving margins for pipeline operators. AOT™ has already been proven in laboratory tests to reduce crude oil's viscosity. The full-scale AOT™ working prototype was developed with Colfax Corporation, a global leader in critical fluid-handling products and pump technologies.
"AOT™ has the potential to change the way crude oil is transported around the globe and to generate considerable cost savings for the pipeline industry," stated Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte, Chairman and CEO of STWA, Inc. "This comes at a time when there is growing public pressure to relieve the high cost of oil. A 1% increase in crude oil flow capacity on a 36" wide 2,000 mile long pipeline, with a capacity of 500,000 barrels of oil per day, could theoretically produce an extra 5,000 barrels a day, which equates to an additional value of $182,500,000 per year. With more than 400,000 miles of pipeline in operation around the world, the dollar value impact to consumers and corporations could be in the billions each year."
Phase II testing of an STWA's AOT™ prototype unit, which will be taking place in a real world oil pipeline environment at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) in Wyoming, is being co-funded under contract with the Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI), a global collaborative research development organization for the energy pipeline industry. The testing will evaluate the magnitude and duration of the viscosity changes, and characterize the potential reduction in power required to pump crude oil due to the application of AOT™ on oil pipelines. Testing is scheduled for mid-April.
About STWA, Inc.
STWA, Inc. (OTC.BB:ZERO - News) is an innovative company creating technology focused on energy efficiency of large-scale energy production and improved fuel economy for diesel fleets.

Agricultural R&D in Africa; New study from ASTI (Agricultural Science &Technology Indicators) shows progress for some countries, significant challenges for many others - IFPRI/ASTI/CGIAR/Rome/Washington - Feb11
- Beintema, Nienke Stads, Gert-Jan -
- After a decade of stagnation during the 1990s, investments and human resource capacity in public agricultural research and development (R&D) averaged more than 20 percent growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) during 2001–2008. In 2008, the region spent $1.7 billion on agricultural R&D (in 2005 purchasing power parity dollars)—or $0.8 billion (in 2005 constant US dollars)—and employed more than 12,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) agricultural researchers. Most of this growth, however, occurred in only a handful of countries and was largely the result of increased government commitments to augment incommensurately low salary levels and to rehabilitate neglected infrastructure, often after years of underinvestment. Many countries—particularly those in francophone West Africa, which are threatened by extremely fragile funding systems—face fundamental capacity and investment challenges. National investment levels in such countries have fallen so low as to leave them dangerously dependent on often volatile, external funding sources. Despite the overall capacity growth recorded, average qualification levels have deteriorated in a number of countries. Some reported large influxes of BSc-qualified scientists, often in response to prolonged recruitment restrictions, further straining already inadequate training opportunities and far exceeding the capacity for appropriate oversight and mentorship by senior researchers, given years of nonreplacement of retiring and departing scientists.
Notwithstanding the challenges facing many countries, renewed commitment to agricultural R&D by governments and donors indicates improved prospects for agricultural R&D for a number of African countries.
Regional initiatives are also a key factor in increasing research coordination and collaboration and ensuring the prioritization and efficiency of research. Increased and sustained investment from national governments, regional and international organizations, and large donors will go a long way toward stabilizing investment and capacity levels and enabling real progress for agricultural R&D in the region.
Building on the strategic recommendations of various highly influential reports and meetings, and taking into account the various investment and capacity challenges outlined in this report, four key areas with strong implications for policy must be addressed by governments, donors, and other stakeholders:
(1) decades of underinvestment in agricultural R&D;
(2) excessive volatility in yearly investment levels;
(3) existing and imminent challenges in human resource capacity; and
(4) the need to maximize regional and subregional cooperation in agricultural R&D. ...-

Nuclear outlook Following one month After Japan disaster - U3O8.biz - Apr 15, 2011
- D. Brown -
www.u3o8.biz/s/MarketCommentary.asp?ReportID=452056&_Type=Ma…
"It has been one month since the catastrophic 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck Japan and triggered a tsunami affecting the Fukushima Daiichi reactors, which prompted officials in India and other nations to call for reviews or temporary suspensions of atomic energy programs.
Some scientists are now cautioning that the March 11 event not only will lead to years of aftershocks, but might also have increased the risk of a major quake on an adjacent fault. On Monday, the nation was unsettled by an aftershock measuring a magnitude 6.6. It was hardly a major temblor, but it was strong enough to knock out electricity briefly at the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant. Last week a magnitude 7.1 quake led to four deaths and widespread power outages. With survivors, international aid agencies and soldiers still looking for the bodies of thousands of people who vanished over a month ago, Japan is coping with the painful reality that it is located in such close proximity to a volatile fault line.
While the human tragedy in the country can not be minimized, the focus on rebuilding for the future and learning from the past should make investments in secure and prudent global energy policies all the more important for uranium stakeholders.
Revisiting the longer term nuclear outlook
In an exclusive interview with Uranium Investing News, Gary Clark, analyst at Roubini Global Economics, discussed the demonstrable longer term effect on nuclear power generation policy in several countries of interest:
China:
Despite China announcing a moratorium on the building and the approval of new nuclear reactors, Clark expects them to continue with their program. "Fundamentally, they have 27 reactors under construction, 50 reactors on order or being planned and 110 reactors proposed. This constitutes a large investment in the nuclear industry, and due to its size, one I wouldn't expect them to renege on. They would also like to become exporters of nuclear technology. China's energy demand is expected to rise by 75 percent by 2035---to meet this, China needs new sources of energy.
While nuclear energy will offer the Chinese the ability to diversify their energy mix, and provide solutions that other forms of energy can not achieve, it also enables them the flexibility to build in fast developing regions, that are remote from coal fields, or in regions where infrastructure, like the railroads, are under strain.
Many investors and analysts will be keenly interested in the results of the scheduled China Nuclear Energy Congress meeting for decision makers in mid May at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Beijing; however, Clark does not see any great change in the outlook for the Chinese at this point. As an example he cites, "Before Fukushima, they were building strategic uranium stockpiles, they may even increase their purchases of uranium, now that prices have dipped. They are also continuing to lock in long-term supplies deals, as evidenced by Guangdong Nuclear Power Group's $756 million dollar offer for Kalahari Minerals in March, who own uranium assets in Namibia---this despite, Fukushima."
Gary Clark believes an area of debate will be the rate at which the Chinese build out nuclear power stations, "Their 2010 target for nuclear electricity generation changed from about 40GWe prior to 2008, to around 90 GWe in January 2010 (according to one official). The State Council Research Office, which advises the State Council on strategic matters, has said that this target should be capped at 70GWe, to avoid stress on the supply chain, compromises on quality, parts and procedures, as well as allowing time to train nuclear personnel. So we may see a slight slowdown in build out on this basis. There may also be a speed up in transitioning to newer technologies, this will benefit those companies, who can provide that technology."
India:
Although India is seismically active and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has ordered safety checks on reactors under operation, Mr. Clark does not anticipate any significant change in India's long term nuclear power plans, "Manmohan Singh is a big advocate of nuclear energy to help meet the country's energy needs. It has a large well-developed domestic nuclear program, despite being banned from trade in nuclear plants and materials from over 30 years due its weapons program. It wants to utilize this expertise."
Given its current relatively large investment in nuclear power it would be difficult for India to change the energy policy because of the scale, "with 20 reactors in operation, 5 reactors in the process of being built and a further 18 in the planning stage (it would be) difficult to turn its back." The country intends to take advantage of international nuclear deals including with France and the US.
Russia:
Clark does not foresee any changes in Russia's policy to nuclear power, "Putin is a big advocate of nuclear power. In the wake of Fukushima he very publicly agreed to a deal to supply a reactor to Belarus, while Russian uranium miner ARMZ is to purchase uranium assets in Tanzania. Russia also has deals to supply reactors in China, Vietnam, Turkey, and Bangladesh. The Russians intend to be at the forefront of developing nuclear technology, and are even planning to build floating reactors to be used in the Arctic to power oil and gas operations." "

"It has been one month since the catastrophic 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck Japan and triggered a tsunami affecting the Fukushima Daiichi reactors, which prompted officials in India and other nations to call for reviews or temporary suspensions of atomic energy programs.
Some scientists are now cautioning that the March 11 event not only will lead to years of aftershocks, but might also have increased the risk of a major quake on an adjacent fault. On Monday, the nation was unsettled by an aftershock measuring a magnitude 6.6. It was hardly a major temblor, but it was strong enough to knock out electricity briefly at the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant. Last week a magnitude 7.1 quake led to four deaths and widespread power outages. With survivors, international aid agencies and soldiers still looking for the bodies of thousands of people who vanished over a month ago, Japan is coping with the painful reality that it is located in such close proximity to a volatile fault line.
While the human tragedy in the country can not be minimized, the focus on rebuilding for the future and learning from the past should make investments in secure and prudent global energy policies all the more important for uranium stakeholders.
Revisiting the longer term nuclear outlook
In an exclusive interview with Uranium Investing News, Gary Clark, analyst at Roubini Global Economics, discussed the demonstrable longer term effect on nuclear power generation policy in several countries of interest:
China:
Despite China announcing a moratorium on the building and the approval of new nuclear reactors, Clark expects them to continue with their program. "Fundamentally, they have 27 reactors under construction, 50 reactors on order or being planned and 110 reactors proposed. This constitutes a large investment in the nuclear industry, and due to its size, one I wouldn't expect them to renege on. They would also like to become exporters of nuclear technology. China's energy demand is expected to rise by 75 percent by 2035---to meet this, China needs new sources of energy.
While nuclear energy will offer the Chinese the ability to diversify their energy mix, and provide solutions that other forms of energy can not achieve, it also enables them the flexibility to build in fast developing regions, that are remote from coal fields, or in regions where infrastructure, like the railroads, are under strain.
Many investors and analysts will be keenly interested in the results of the scheduled China Nuclear Energy Congress meeting for decision makers in mid May at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Beijing; however, Clark does not see any great change in the outlook for the Chinese at this point. As an example he cites, "Before Fukushima, they were building strategic uranium stockpiles, they may even increase their purchases of uranium, now that prices have dipped. They are also continuing to lock in long-term supplies deals, as evidenced by Guangdong Nuclear Power Group's $756 million dollar offer for Kalahari Minerals in March, who own uranium assets in Namibia---this despite, Fukushima."
Gary Clark believes an area of debate will be the rate at which the Chinese build out nuclear power stations, "Their 2010 target for nuclear electricity generation changed from about 40GWe prior to 2008, to around 90 GWe in January 2010 (according to one official). The State Council Research Office, which advises the State Council on strategic matters, has said that this target should be capped at 70GWe, to avoid stress on the supply chain, compromises on quality, parts and procedures, as well as allowing time to train nuclear personnel. So we may see a slight slowdown in build out on this basis. There may also be a speed up in transitioning to newer technologies, this will benefit those companies, who can provide that technology."
India:
Although India is seismically active and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has ordered safety checks on reactors under operation, Mr. Clark does not anticipate any significant change in India's long term nuclear power plans, "Manmohan Singh is a big advocate of nuclear energy to help meet the country's energy needs. It has a large well-developed domestic nuclear program, despite being banned from trade in nuclear plants and materials from over 30 years due its weapons program.

China expresses concern over S&P's US report - CER/FT - Apr 20, 2011

"China's foreign ministry said that the US government should act to protect investors in its Treasuries after a controversial report by Standard & Poor's (S&P) placed US government debt on a "negative" watch, the Financial Times reported.
"We hope the US government will take responsible policies and measures to safeguard investors' interests," the ministry said. China has US$3.05 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, of which US$1.15 trillion was held in US Treasures at the end of February, ahead of Japan (US$890.3 billion) but behind the US Federal Reserve (US$1.37 trillion). China has repeatedly urged the US to protect foreign investors by not inflating its currency. This reaction stands in contrast to that of Japan, which said that Treasuries "remain an attractive product." "

Singapore cleared for RMB trading - CER/FT - Apr 20, 2011
http://newcer.chinaeconomicreview.com/en/content/singapore-c…
"The Monetary Authority of Singapore announced that officials in Beijing will soon designate a Chinese bank in the city-state to clear renminbi trading, the Financial Times reported.
The move will allow Singapore's banks to tap mainland renminbi directly, instead of purchasing the currency in Hong Kong or via mainland banks. Many expect the appointed clearing bank in Hong Kong to be either the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC; 601398.SH, 1398.HK) or Bank of China (601988.SH, 3988.HK), though officials did not specify what financial products would be offered. Only the Bank of China in Hong Kong is currently allowed to clear renminbi transactions outside the mainland. While this latest development is sure to deepen the longstanding rivalry between Singapore and Hong Kong, analysts say Hong Kong is set to retain its position as China's offshore renminbi hub for some time yet.

CBRC to launch loan review - CER/BB - Apr 20, 2011
http://newcer.chinaeconomicreview.com/en/content/cbrc-launch…
"Liu Mingkang, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC), said that the organization would launch a thorough investigation of loans made during the past few years, Bloomberg reported, citing Shanghai Securities News.
The regulator will examine "shadow banking" businesses , as well as the banks' relationship with trust companies. Liu told Shanghai Securities News that financial innovation should be drawn from the real economy , as opposed to financial models , and should not only benefit the banks. The announcement comes after increasing speculation that many loans extended during the 2009 lending binge, particularly to local government financing vehicles, may be non-performing. Last summer a leaked reported from the CBRC suggested that over a fifth of total loans extended to these financing vehicles may go bad. "

China to cut taxes on poor, raise for rich , plays Robin Hood - CER/WSJ - Apr 21, 2011
http://newcer.chinaeconomicreview.com/en/content/china-cut-t…
"Legislation expected to pass shortly will cut taxes for China's lowest income earners while raising it slightly for higher-income individuals, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The new tax code would reduce the total number of income tax brackets to seven from nine. The threshold for the lowest tax bracket would be bumped to US$460 from US$305 today. Because the current bracket for 40% taxes will be phased out, individuals previously qualifying for that bracket will now pay the top rate of 45%. Individual income taxes made up just 6.8% of overall government revenue in 2010. This figure is far below that of most developed economies, partly due to pervasive tax evasion and partly for structural reasons. The law is currently under review by the Standing Committee and is expected to pass shortly. "

EU firms say China's procurement policy unfair - CER/FT - Apr 21, 2011
http://newcer.chinaeconomicreview.com/en/content/eu-firms-sa…
"The European Chamber of Commerce in China released a report on Wednesday arguing that China's procurement policy had deleterious effects on EU firms operating in the country, the Financial Times reported.
"The regulatory framework for government procurement in China is a drag on efficiency and innovation for the Chinese economy as a whole," the report said, adding that it "represents a missed opportunity the size of the South Korean economy for European business in China." Specifically, the chamber argued that foreign firms are cut out of public contracts on the local and provincial government levels, despite promises from the national level to create a level playing field. Many analysts say the problem lies with China's unusual two-tier procurement system, under which only a fraction of what is usually regarded elsewhere as procurement contracts are regulated under official government procurement law.

"Clean Coal Technologies (OTCQB: CCTC) said Monday it has signed a long-term licensing and royalty agreement for its technology to convert coal into a cleaner fuel source with China's government-backed Huamin Senior Fund Holding Group.

Clean Coal Technologies will receive one-time license fees based on installed capacity, plus ongoing royalties based on annual production over the life of the agreement. No other details of the terms were disclosed.
"This contract is an opportunity to address China's pressing need for a cleaner, domestic-sourced fuel," said president and CEO of Clean Coal, Robin Eves.
"The agreement sets the stage for large-scale deployment of the CCTI technology in China and other contracts to follow, and is a major step in establishing CCTI as a global company."

Kazakhstan &India Securing Partnership - U3O8.biz - Apr 26, 2011
- D. Brown -
www.u3o8.biz/s/MarketCommentary.asp?ReportID=453300&_Type=Ma…
"Just over a month after Kazakhstan and China generated headline news for agreeing to a formal alliance, the government of India has signed an agreement with Kazakhstan for cooperation in peaceful use of nuclear energy. This more formalized agreement follows a memorandum of understanding signed by the two countries in 2009.
The agreement was signed during an official visit to Kazakhstan by Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh in the Kazakh capital Astana. During a press conference, the prime minister indicated positive guidance for the industry about the need for nuclear power in the light of incidents at Fukushima. Admitting that there is likely to be "a certain amount of nervousness about extensive use of nuclear energy" in the short term, he expressed his belief that "when cool headed discussions take place about the future of energy," nuclear would be "one of the essential options which all countries must keep in order to deal with the problems like climate change and energy security." At the present time India has 20 operating nuclear units with five more, including a fast breeder, under construction and an additional 39 planned or firmly proposed.
Last October, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) reported that it had imported some 868 tonnes of uranium so far that year, including 300 tonnes of natural uranium from Kazakh nuclear company Kazatomprom. Earlier this year, Vladimir Shkolnik, chief executive of Kazatomprom, forecast that the country would produce 19,600 tonnes of uranium this year, up from the 17,803 tonnes produced in 2010. Kazakhstan expects this 10 percent increase in uranium production to cement its position as the world's largest producer of the "other yellow metal." The country has 15 percent of the world's uranium resources and became the leading uranium producing country in 2009.
Historically, Kazakhstan was home to the BN-350 fast reactor at Aktau, which was built under Russian supervision and operated for 27 years, closing in 1999. The government has expressed a renewed interest in the potential to utilize nuclear power, and plans for a Japanese-built 600 MWe boiling water reactor, most likely in eastern Kazakhstan.
Mining merger & acquisition development
Hathor Exploration Limited (TSE:HAT) has provided a binding all-share takeover offer to Terra Ventures Inc. (CVE:TAS) that they say will consolidate ownership of the Roughrider uranium deposit in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. Based on pre-announcement stock prices Hathor's potential offer values Terra at $24 million. Terra Ventures shareholders would own about 10 percent of the combined company.
Additionally, Terra possesses other North American uranium interests including three properties adjoining the northwest side of the joint venture Wheeler River property of Denison Mines (TSE
ML) (AMEXNN) and Cameco (TSE:CCO) (NYSE:CCJ) containing the "Phoenix discovery."
If the deal receives approval, Hathor will own 100 percent of the Roughrider deposit and 98 percent of the Russell Lake exploration project, both in the Athabasca Basin. On Friday, Hathor provided a drilling update on its Russell Lake exploration program with continued exploration on the property this summer to be planned and announced following a full compilation of all geophysical, geological and geochemical data.
In a joint announcement Hathor and Terra said, "consolidating the fragmented ownership of Roughrider and Russell presents significant potential post-transaction value for both groups of shareholders."
Spot market uranium price weaker on low volumes
The spot market price declined slightly by $0.75 to $57.00 per pound of uranium with relatively smaller volumes traded this week. The market edged up early in the week following news that Energy Resources Australia (ASX:ERA) was suspending processing operations for another three months at its Ranger uranium mine, which had been on a 3 month shut down since the end of January because of continuing heavy rain during an extended wet season in Australia's Northern Territory. Prices quickly fell back as buying interest remained weak and buyers appear extremely price sensitive and cautious to commit to purchases at higher prices. As a result, some sellers lowered their prices in order to conclude sales and prices softened as the week came to a close with four transactions reported during the week. "

Uranium prospects threatened by Namibia government - U3O8.biz - May 4, 2011
- D. Brown -
www.u3o8.biz/s/MarketCommentary.asp?ReportID=455110&_Type=Ma…
"Following a headline story that has been developing since last month, the world's fourth-largest uranium producing country is considering legislative changes to ensure its citizens receive more benefit from the southern African nation's mineral wealth.
In a press statement to Extract Resources Limited (ASX:EXT), The Chamber of Mines of Namibia outlines the Chamber's position with respect to statements made by the Namibian Mines and Energy Minister, Isak Katali, on April 20, regarding the potential involvement of state-owned mining company Epangelo (Pty) Ltd in strategic minerals in Namibia. The statement provides assurance that the new policy will not apply to current licenses, exclusive prospecting licenses or current mineral deposit retention licenses.
In the release the Chamber states it "is acutely aware of the impact that such uncertainty has on the global investment community's excellent regard for Namibia as an investment destination. Given that foreign funds are the major source of investment in exploration and mining in Namibia the Chamber pledges to work with the Minister of Mines to ensure that the mining industry continues to play its critical role in the socio-economic developments of Namibia."
Context
The economy in Namibia is heavily dependent on the extraction and processing of minerals for export revenue. Although mining accounts for 8 percent of GDP, it provides more than 50 percent of foreign exchange earnings. As well as being a global uranium producer, rich alluvial diamond deposits make the country a primary source for gem-quality diamonds. It also produces large quantities of zinc and is a small producer of gold and other minerals like copper. Namibia has two significant uranium mines capable of providing 10 percent of world mining output with its first commercial uranium mine beginning operating in 1976.
Objectives
Extract is aiming to develop the world's third-largest uranium mine, and is "confident" its project in Namibia will continue even as the government proposes to give all mining permits to a state-owned company. The Perth-based company released a written announcement to the Australian Stock Exchange, "Extract continues to have regular and positive consultation with the Government of Namibia."
As 43 percent owner of Extract Resource Limited, Kalahari Minerals (LON:KAH), chairman Mark Hohnen echoed the confident sentiments of regarding the continued progress of the Husab uranium Project. Mr. Hohnen said: "Extract, together with the board of Kalahari, maintains a strong relationship with the government of the Republic of Namibia, and have kept an active and open dialogue with the appropriate ministers and officials throughout our five years of operation in the country."
The boards of Kalahari and Extract understand the importance of progressing development of Husab for the benefit of all stakeholders, and in turn, the Government of the Republic of Namibia has maintained its support of this process, demonstrated most recently by the extension of EPL 3138, which covers the Husab project area, for a further two-year period to April 30 2013. The market has not responded well to the news as Extract Resources share prices declined over 25 percent over two days before trading was halted at $6.68 and Kalahari Minerals continues to trade down about 8.1 percent in the 225.03 pound range.
Uranium spot market prices weakens
Spot market uranium prices dropped 25 cents to $55.25 a pound over the last week, as reported by Ux Consulting Co.. The report states "Both price and demand have declined, as the implications of the accident have begun to sink in. The price may continue to drift down to the extent that sellers seek to place material in a largely disinterested market."
Long-term demand for uranium has declined because of the Fukushima crisis, Ux said. The spot price for the nuclear fuel has fallen about 20 percent since the incident and could drop further, it said. "Reactors are being shut down or delayed around the world," Ux said. "It appears that our base case requirements will drop by about a half billion pounds through 2030, and our high case by roughly 600 million pounds, the result of our projection that demand growth will be delayed by four to five years over what was previously forecast."
Industry developments
Investors should note that despite bearish long term sentiments from the recent UxConsulting report, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced today that the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) has completed its first "virtual reactor." This demonstrates a significant continued commitment to the existing US nuclear projects, and is a highly innovative software utility that will provide improved insight into the operations of reactors, helping the industry reduce capital and operating costs, minimize nuclear waste volume, safely extend the lifetime of the current nuclear fleet and develop new materials for next-generation reactors.
Secretary of Energy Steven Chu stated, "Nuclear energy is our nation's largest source of carbon-free power and is an important part of our energy mix moving forward. Work done at this facility will help make our fleet of reactors even safer and more efficient while creating jobs, fueling the economy and saving consumers money on their utility bills." "

+ Voyager Resources has entered into an agreement to acquire up to 80% of the Khul Morit Copper Project in the Gobi Region of Mongolia.
+ The project comprises five exploration licences for approximately 50 square kilometres of highly prospective ground.
+ Limited drilling conducted to date has returned highly encouraging shallow high grade copper mineralisation, including:
- 27 metres @2.09% copper from 28.8 metres(KH04), including:
- 12.5 metres @3.63 % copper from 43.3 metres
+ Previously completed drilling has been ineffective in testing recently acquired Induced Polarisation(IP) &ground magnetic geophysical targets.
+ Two high order gradient array IP anomalies have been identified; the anomalies extend for over 800 metres &2,500 metres respectively. These IP anomalies are broadly consistent with identified copper mineralisation identified @surface.
+ Mineralised intersected in KH04 is located on the periphery of the smaller 800 metre long IP anomaly &remains open along strike &down dip.
+ Geophysical surveys, including more expansive IP, ground magnetics &gravity are now planned to commence @Khul Morit within two weeks, with drilling to follow shortly after.
+ Voyager plans to complete @least 10,000 metres of Reverse Circulation &diamond core drilling in ´11 @Khul Morit

Apella Resources - Drill Program Update, Iron-T Vanadium-Iron-Titanium Project; new infill holes, drilled @50m intervals now connect several peripheral zones of mineralization, to Apella's main Genesis deposit on the Iron-T. The peripheral zones of mineralization were not included in SGS's August, ´10 NI-43-101 resource estimate; All current drill holes bored to date have shown alternations of the gabbro with disseminated to massive layers of magnetic oxides, which Apella finds very encouraging. An interesting fact is the observed disseminated oxide layers are much thicker than the semi-massive to massive layers. This indicates that the mineralization should provide significant thickness enhancing compatibility for open pit mining; drilling has now been moved to the western extension of Iron-T; Apella has set ambitious tonnage targets for identifying economically mineable resources on its Iron-T &Lac Dore Projects which it believes are attainable. Apella's confidence is based on the airborne &ground geophysical data that is now available &it's highly successful drill results to date. Apella's Iron-T &Lac Dore projects are vertical structures, as opposed to the thin, flat-lying structure of the world-leading Bushveld deposits in South Africa. These vertical structures provide a significant advantage over the world-leading Bushveld complex ; the ability to utilize the much cheaper open pit mining process - May 16, 2011

Altona Energy Is Intent On Expanding The Scope Of The Huge Arckaringa Coal Project In South Australia; Remember Altona Energy? It is the Aim-traded company, modest in size, which is playing a crucial role in an energy project in South Australia so big that it has the full attention of the State government &has been able to attract in no less a partner than CNOOC-NEI, a subsidiary of Chinese oil major China National Offshore Oil Corporation. When you move in circles like that you cannot afford to miss a trick, so it must have been a massive learning curve for chairman Chris Lambert &chief executive Chris Schrape as they began to move the company on from a situation in which it simply held a massive coal deposit in the Arckaringa Basin, to one in which it is involved in a feasibility study on a project with the potential to supply most of the energy requirements of South Australia - MS- May 18, 2011

Elektron Plc; Positively Charged - ED - May 18, 2011
- D. Gross -
- Elektron is a UK-based company specialising in technology &having a global reach, exploiting &developing its technologies within the Fast Moving Engineered Products(FMEP) sector. Elektron designs engineered products, &owns a portfolio of leading brands with potential for significant growth. Elektron acquired AIM-listed Hartest in September ´10. The Board has proposed a change of name to Elektron Technology Plc. -
+ Elektron reported a very strong performance for the year to 31 January ´11, with a 67% growth in revenues to £50m, underpinned by solid growth in the Elektron companies &a five-month contribution from Hartest. Pretax profit of £3.6m was significantly ahead of ´10‟s £0.2m. Adjusting for non-recurring &special items, pretax profits for ´11 &´10 are £5.1m &£1.6m respectively. With a final dividend of 0.55p, the dividend for the year is 0.8p, a 60% increase over the previous year‟s 0.5p
+ The transformation of Elektron is clearly underway, with the new product development(NPD) centralised strategy under execution. The major focus for Elektron is innovation – the group has implemented a structured management process to facilitate radical innovation.
+ The group has been built up from numerous acquisitions &a key task for management is to consolidate a fragmented structure. This process will involve strengthening marketing &brand management, optimising Elektron‟s manufacturing footprint, attracting high calibre staff &implementing a structured development process for new products &custom technology platforms.
+ These results, the centralisation of operations &the new product development strategy all point to Elektron being on a growth trajectory. Elektron is targeting substantial growth, through both organic growth &earnings-enhancing acquisitions. Elektron‟s valuation is modest in comparison to its peer group, but we expect the discount to narrow with continued successful execution of the strategy. We have thus set a near term share price target of 68p, representing a 20% discount to its peer group PER but still handsomely above current levels. ...

New Age Exploration - Acquisition of Coal Concessions in Cesar Basin; CEO: "This transaction is the first step in the development of NAE’s thermal &coking coal project portfolio in Colombia. We remain focussed on building on our portfolio &as such, we are continuing to review a number of other potential opportunities within Colombia" - May 11, 2011
HL:
+ NAE-Aurora Partnership completes first transaction(NAE 90% &Aurora 10%)
+ 100% acquisition of two exploration &mining concessions, totalling 4,141 hectares in the world class Cesar thermal coal basin(“Cesar Project”)
+ Concessions are contiguous with major open pit export thermal coal mining operations currently operated by Vale &Drummond; Production from Cesar Basin is currently circa 40Mtpa &is forecast to increase to over 75Mtpa by ´15; Coal produced from the Cesar Basin is widely recognised as high quality, low sulphur thermal coal with calorific values in the range of 6,100 to 7,000 kcal/kg, which is exported primarily in European &North American thermal coal markets
+ The majority of coal from the Cesar Basin is transported by rail approximately 200km to a number of export port facilities near Santa Marta; rail line is operated &maintained by Ferrocarriles del Norte de Colombia(“Fenoco”) which has been granted the railway concession from Chriguana to Santa Marta by the Colombian Government. Fenoco is owned by the major coal producing companies in the Cesar Basin; current capacity of the Fenoco rail line is approximately 50 Mtpa. Fenoco is currently undertaking a US$1.07 Billion project to expand the capacity of the line to 100 Mtpa, which is expected to be finished by ´15. The Fenoco line crosses one of the Cesar Project concessions acquired by NAE-Aurora
+ In addition, numerous road haulage options are available connecting to a number of major export ports on the northern coast of Colombia which are within 200 km from the Cesar Project concessions.
+ There are a number of export coal port options available to the NAE-Aurora Cesar Project in the Santa Marta &Barranquilla areas. Rail &port access arrangements will be considered as part of the project development studies
+ Conceptual exploration target of 200-800 million tonnes export quality thermal coal has been identified @the Cesar Project
+ The target sequence typically has a total coal seam thickness of up to 35m, containing multiple coal seams 2m to 6m thick
+ Initial due diligence has confirmed the potential for both concessions to host the target sequence @depths accessible via conventional underground mining methods
+ NAE-Aurora Partnership has commenced acquiring historical seismic data for the Cesar Project &is currently in the process of engaging geophysical consultants to reprocess &interpret the data. NAE anticipates that this process will take 1-2 months.
Upon completion, the seismic data will be used to plan an initial drilling program of up to 6 holes to confirm the presence of the MLCF &target seams &commence the delineation of a JORC resource for the Cesar Project. ...

"A delegation of the Afghan Ministry of Mines headed by the Deputy Minister of Mines, His Excellency Mr. M. T. Durrani, and 20 engineers from the Departments of Inspectorate and Cadastre went on a mining study trip to South Africa organized by GAF AG.
Afghanistan has rich natural resources many of them still untapped. The development of this potential will be an important step towards the eradication of poverty and bringing peace and prosperity to Afghanistan. The proper management and regulation of the mining sector is essential for effective extraction of the largely unexploited minerals and hydrocarbons.
The Ministry of Mines (MoM) in Afghanistan is moving from being a producer of minerals and other commodities to a policy-maker, promoter and regulator. This is supported by a technical consultancy provided by GAF AG and being part of the World Bank funded “Sustainable Development of Natural Resources Project” (SDNRP). The consultancy specifically aims to establish and operate a Title Registry and Cadastre Department and to set-up a Mining and Hydrocarbons Inspectorate.
As part of the institutional capacity building and human resources development a study trip was organised to South Africa. It started with a one week training programme at Goldfields Academy, and was followed by three weeks of visiting a wide cross section of mining operations in South Africa exposing the members of the Ministry of Mines to state-of-the-art mining techniques and equipment. Additionally to this, environmental, social and occupational health and safety aspects were covered. An exchange of experience and establishment of contacts between Afghanistan and South Africa has been started. "

Mosquito Consolidated Gold Mines - New NI 43-101 Resource Estimate Significantly Increases CuMo Deposit With Substantial Increases in Silver &Copper; results confirm that CuMo is the largest unmined open pit molybdenum deposit in the world
, &also one of the world's largest silver deposits , ranking behind the Navidad &the Pitarrilla silver projects, cover only approximately 60% of the mineralizing system's footprint identified to date; Preliminary results of the exploration so far indicate that CuMo has a configuration that will potentially allow for low cost open-pit mining. The thick mineralization is very continuous &indicates little internal waste &is persistent over a broad area measuring 2 kmx3 km. Mineralization begins @the bedrock surface which is covered by a thin layer of overburden &broken rock ranging from 4 to 20 meters thick. The deposit is currently 650-850 meters thick &open to the south &west. If further exploration substantiates these overburden characteristics, development would involve an unusually low strip ratio; Mr. Dykes: "I am extremely pleased with the results of CuMo's new 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Together with an increase in the indicated &inferred molybdenum resource, the silver &copper estimates significantly increase CuMo's previous valuations. In addition, independent metallurgical studies show that this deposit offers the potential for high percentage recoveries of these metals. The increases in silver &copper were expected, as recent drilling has outlined an older copper-silver system into which the main molybdenum system intruded"; Immediate plans for the CuMo deposit are, to continue drilling to further delineate the mineralized zones &to convert the large part of the inferred resource to measured &indicated. Engineering &environmental work will aim to produce a feasibility study in two to three years. Drilling is scheduled to resume in mid-may on Mosquito's private land - Apr 27, 2011represents the following increases over previous resource estimates (Giroux ´09):
- 65.3% increase in ounces of Silver(Ag)
- 57.0% increase in pounds of Copper(Cu),
- 12.9% increase in pounds Molybdenum Oxide(MoO3), &
- Very little change in the tungsten pounds
NI 43-101 compliant calculation confirms that the CUMO deposit contains, @a $2.50 cutoff(Indicated/Inferred):
- 2.14/2.34 billion pounds of molybdenum oxide(MoO3),
- 3.27/5.55 billion pounds of copper(Cu),
- 140.7/242.5 million ounces of silver(Ag) &
- 158.2/90.9 million pounds of tungsten(W)
- 2.03/3.95 billion tons of ore ...

Majors lining up for crack @Lake Albert's oil; Ever since oil was discovered in the Great Lakes region in ´06, the area has drawn lustful eyes from oil companies. While many discoveries have been made on Uganda's side of Lake Albert in recent years the situation is far more complicated on Congo-K's part. Tullow Oil &Divine Inspiration, which both held exploration rights on the lake, have thrown in the towel for want of a presidentiel decree confirming those rights. Kinshasa awarded the blocks instead to Caprikat &Foxwhelp, two unknown firms, but that move is now being challenged. Attracted by finds on Uganda's side of the lake, the majors have approached the authorities in Kinshasa with bids for acreage on the Democratic Republic of Congo's part - AEI - May11

Rösler für mehr Zuwanderung; Wirtschaftsminister will dramatischen Fachkräftemangel bekämpfen; Laut Rösler kann Europas größte Volkswirtschaft sich bei der Zuwanderung keinen Stillstand mehr leisten - DPA, BERLIN - May 24, 2011
http://web.de/magazine/nachrichten/deutschland/12880318-roes…
"Zur Bekämpfung des dramatischen Fachkräftemangels will Wirtschaftsminister Philipp Rösler (FDP) mehr ausländische Experten ins Land holen. Dazu sollen gesetzliche Regelungen gelockert werden.
"Das ist keine Bedrohung für unser Land, sondern eine Bereicherung", sagte der FDP-Chef am Dienstag. Jedoch blockiert die CSU seit langem die geplante schwarz-gelbe Zuwanderungsreform. Rösler verständigte sich in Berlin mit den Spitzen der Wirtschaft auf konkrete Ziele.
Der Minister will die Einkommensgrenze von 66 000 Euro auf etwa 40 000 Euro senken. So viel muss bisher ein ausländischer Experte pro Jahr bei einer deutschen Firma verdienen, um eine dauerhafte Aufenthalts- und Arbeitserlaubnis zu bekommen.
Eine hohe Hürde: 2009 kamen so weniger als 150 Hochqualifizierte in die Bundesrepublik. Außerdem wird an eine Art Punktesystem wie in Kanada gedacht, bei dem dort potenzielle Zuwanderer beispielsweise nach Bildung und Sprachkenntnissen bewertet werden.
Bislang müssen die Arbeitsagenturen immer erst nach geeigneten deutschen Bewerbern suchen. Diese so genannte Vorrangprüfung in Branchen mit akutem Fachkräftemangel soll abgeschafft werden. Ausländische Berufs- und Uni-Abschlüsse sollen schneller anerkannt werden. Hochqualifizierte, die an einer deutschen Hochschule fertig studiert haben, bekommen sofort ein Aufenthaltsrecht.
Rösler unterstrich, dass Europas größte Volkswirtschaft sich bei der Zuwanderung keinen Stillstand mehr leisten könne: "Wir sind in höchster Eile. Die demografische Entwicklung arbeitet gegen uns." Bis 2025 werden etwa sechs Millionen Arbeitskräfte fehlen.
Arbeitgeberpräsident Dieter Hundt warnte, durch unbesetzte Stellen verliere die Wirtschaft jährlich mehrere Milliarden Euro. Aktuell fehlten allein 140 000 Naturwissenschaftler, darunter viele Ingenieure. "Hier muss gegengesteuert werden, wenn wir nicht nennenswerte Einbußen bei unserer Wirtschaftsleistung und unserem Wohlstand in Kauf nehmen wollen", sagte Hundt.
Bis wann die Regierung die Vorschläge umsetzen will, ließ Rösler offen. Deutschland habe sich zu lange abgeschottet. Erst seit Anfang Mai - viel später als in anderen EU-Ländern - ist der deutsche Arbeitsmarkt für europäische Arbeitnehmer offen. "Es war im Nachhinein ein Fehler, solche Hürden aufzubauen", sagte Rösler.
Schon vor einigen Monaten waren sich die zuständigen Ministerien über eine Reform quasi einig. Dann aber blockierte vor allem die CSU, die die Fachkräftelücke lieber mit Älteren, Frauen und Arbeitslosen statt mit Ausländern schließen will.
Der FDP-Arbeitsmarktexperte Johannes Vogel setzt auf ein Einlenken des Regierungspartners. "Die CSU kann sich nicht vor den Zahlen drücken." Mit einem Punktesystem wie in Kanada, das jeder im Ausland auf Anhieb verstehe, werde Deutschland attraktiver: "Wir müssen konkret um die klügsten Köpfe der Welt werben. Bisher nehmen wir an dem Wettbewerb nicht teil", sagte Vogel der dpa. "

Nickel process technology company set to list on ASX; A company which has been developing a technology to produce nickel and co-products from laterites is aiming to use a backdoor listing to join the ASX later this year - MW, BROKEN HILL - May 25, 2011

"The executive chairman of private company Direct Nickel Julian Malnic told the Resources & Energy Symposium in Broken Hill in New South Wales that the company was currently moving to raise $A15 million ($US14.7 M) to utilise an ASX-listed shell company for listing.
He had told an earlier conference that the company also planned to list on the Hong Kong Exchange.
The company owns the Direct Nickel process which has been developed with the support of Australian investors and Canada's Teck Resources, OZ Minerals and Regency Mines. It has a process demonstration plant under way with Australia's big Government science organisation CSIRO in Perth. Direct Nickel was being applied on a test basis on the Mambare nickel project in Papua New Guinea and was being assessed for other laterite nickel projects around the world.
He told the Broken Hill forum that on a capital expense exercise Direct Nickel may be able to reduce the capital expenditure for producing nickel from the current range of $US25-30 a lb down to $US12.5/lb and the operating expenditure per lb cost from $US5.50/lb down to $US1.80/lb
Malnic said the threshold to move into nickel laterite projects of size with current technologies was between $US2-4 billion and there was a scenario with current nickel industry supply that global demand was strong and growing.
There were 10 countries providing 89% of world laterite nickel - including Brazil, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia,the Philippines and one West African nation.
At the Mambare project in PNG, Direct Nickel as a 50% partner was in joint venture with Regency Mines.
Malnic said Mambare had the potential for 5-7 Mt of contained nickel, based on previous drilling and pits.
Infill drilling between the existing drilllines on three known high-grade zones will be delivered into a JORC resource.
He said $US25 M had been spent on development of the Direct Nickel float over the past three years and the company was looking at becoming involved in many "orphan" nickel laterites. "

BDI: "Die Risiken bei der Energiewende liegen im Detail"
- OTS, BERLIN - May 24, 2011+ Enger Zeitplan erfordert konstruktiven &zielorientierten Dialog zwischen Regierung &Industrie
+ Keine neuen Hürden für die notwendigen Kostenentlastungen der Industrie
+ Erneuerbare-Energien-Umlage für Industriestrom auf dem Stand von ´10 begrenzen
+ Kostenentwicklung &Systemstabilität durch jährliches Monitoring überwachen ...
www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/3157904-bdi-die-risiken-b…
""Die Risiken bei der Energiewende liegt im Detail. Es ist zwar gut, die po¬litischen Eckpunkte jetzt zu verabschieden. Aber es wäre gefährlich, einen starren Fahrplan zu beschließen, der keine Kontrollmechanismen für mögliche Zielabweichungen enthält." Das sagte Christopher W. Grünewald, Vorsitzender des BDI-Ausschusses Energie- und Klimapolitik, am Dienstag in Berlin. "Der Zeitplan ist eng gesteckt. Um Fehler zu vermeiden, ist ein konstruktiver und zielorientierter Dialog zwischen Regierung und Industrie unabdingbar."
"Neben den Kosten ist die System- und Netzstabilität die größte Sorge der Industrie bei der Energiewende", sagte Grünewald. Das Abschalten der Kernkraftwerke hat sich dem BDI zufolge bereits auf die Sicherheit der Stromversorgung ausgewirkt.
Industrieunternehmen mit empfindlichen Maschinen, etwa in der Papierindustrie, hätten durch kleinere Netzschwankungen im Millisekundenbereich
stundenlange Produktionsausfälle gehabt. "Dies verursacht kostspielige Schäden in den Unternehmen und schwächt das Industrieland Deutschland", erläuterte Grünewald. "Die Politik muss bei der Energiewende die Netz- und Systemstabilität garantieren." Der BDI fordert ein jährliches Monitoring, um die Entwicklung von Kosten- und Systemstabilität regelmäßig zu überwachen.Sicher sei, dass der vorgezogene Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie den Preis für Strom erhöhe. Außerdem würde Klimaschutz schwieriger und viel teurer als bisher gedacht. Grünewald: "Umso wichtiger ist es, die Energiewende so zu gestalten, dass die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit nicht leidet und die Arbeitsplätze in der
Industrie erhalten bleiben. Immerhin erwirtschaftet die Industrie derzeit zwei Drittel des gegenwärtigen Wachstums."
Der BDI fordert daher, die besondere Ausgleichsregelung für energieintensive Unternehmen im Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (EEG) unverändert fortzusetzen. Derzeit novelliert der Gesetzgeber das EEG. Grünewald: "Es ist inakzeptabel, die Entlastung plötzlich an neue
Bedingungen wie die schematische jährliche Steigerung der Energieeffizienz zu knüpfen."
Um eine Schwächung der Industrie zu vermeiden, setzt sich der BDI für eine Obergrenze von zwei Cent pro Kilowattstunde im produzierenden Gewerbe ein. Damit würde die Höhe der Umlage auf dem Stand des Jahres 2010 eingefroren. Die EEG-Umlage stieg zuletzt
deutlich, allein in den vergangenen zwei Jahren um 169 Prozent auf 3,53 Cent pro Kilowattstunde.

Global Demand for Water; The global demand for water continues to escalate. It is possible that it could become one of the world’s scarcest large resources. If that occurs, there is a further possibility that countries could go to war. Without water, human-kind cannot exist. The Director General, Colin Chartres, of the International Water Management Institute states, “Current estimates indicate that we will not have enough water to feed ourselves in 25 years time” - eR - May 16, 2011

"China’s Sinopec plans to take part in the tender to grant oil exploration rights in Brazil, the chairman of Sinopec International and Production Brazil, Jingjun Ding said in Rio de Janeiro Thursday.
The executive, who took part in the "Oil Gas Outlook 2011" seminar in Rio de Janeiro, said that China saw Brazil as a strategic area, as well as having a stable market.
Taking part in the National Oil Agency (ANP) calls to tender may involve Repsol Sinopec Brasil – the company acquired 40 percent of the Spanish company’s capita in Brazil – Sinopec on its own or in partnership with other companies.
The acquisition of the stake in Repsol Brasil gave Sinopec access to Brazil’s pre-salt resources, via a stake in block BM-S-9, in the Santos basin. "

Ex-General Ratko Mladic gefasst; Mutmaßlicher Kriegsverbrecher war 16 Jahre auf der Flucht; wiederholt geforderte Festnahme von Mladic galt als eines der größten Hindernisse bei den Bemühungen Belgrads um eine Mitgliedschaft in der Europäischen Union. Entsprechend stellte Tadic klar, dass Belgrad nun als Gegenleistung für die Verhaftung von Mladic einen zügigen EU-Beitritt erwarte. "Ich hoffe, dass jetzt die Türen offen stehen", sagte der Präsident. Die Verhaftung von Mladic öffne auch die Türen für eine Versöhnung auf der gesamten Balkanhalbinsel, sagte Tadic - DPA, BELGRAD - May 25, 2011

G8: Atom-Stresstest weltweit; Staats- &Regierungschefs wollen Sicherheit in AKWs verschärfen - DPA, DEAUVILLE - May 25, 2011
http://web.de/magazine/nachrichten/ausland/12891326-merkel-v…
"Als Antwort auf die Katastrophe von Fukushima wollen die führenden Industriestaaten und Russland (G8) die Sicherheitsvorschriften für Kernkraftwerke weltweit verschärfen. Geht es nach Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel, sollen sogar alle Meiler weltweit mit Stresstests überprüft werden.
Zu Beginn des G8-Gipfels am Donnerstag im französischen Deauville ließ Frankreichs Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy ankündigen, dass schon am 7. Juni in Paris eine Ministerrunde aus 30 Staaten zusammenkommen wird. Auf der Konferenz sollen Vorschläge für eine Sitzung der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde (IAEO) vom 20. bis 24. Juni in Wien beraten werden.
Sarkozy hat in diesem Jahr den G8-Vorsitz. Zur G8 gehören die USA, Kanada, Japan, Russland, Deutschland, Frankreich, Großbritannien und Italien. Die G8 stellen 15 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung und erwirtschaften etwa zwei Drittel der globalen Wirtschaftsleistung.
Nach dem verheerenden Erdbeben und einem Tsunami am 11. März im japanischen Kernkraftwerk Fukushima war es in drei von vier Blöcken zu einer Kernschmelze gekommen. Die japanische Regierung hatte das erst kurz vor dem Gipfel eingestanden. Noch immer ist die Situation in Fukushima sehr gefährlich.
Der japanische Ministerpräsident Naoto Kan wollte in der ersten Arbeitssitzung über die Lage in Fukushima berichten. Die Gipfelrunde wollte dann bei den Arbeitssitzungen die Folgen des Unglücks für die Weltwirtschaft und den Klimaschutz beraten.
Merkel forderte von den G8-Staaten, eine Führungsrolle bei der sicheren Nutzung der Atomenergie zu übernehmen. "Wir brauchen eine Überprüfung der Sicherheitsstandards auch auf internationaler Ebene", sagte sie im Bundestag in einer Regierungserklärung zum G8-Gipfel. "Wir wollen, dass die nuklearen Stresstests über Europa hinausgehen", sagte auch EU-Kommissionspräsident José Manuel Barroso in Deauville.
Zweites wichtiges Thema des Gipfels ist die Unterstützung des arabischen Frühlings, der seit vergangenen Dezember totalitäre Regime in Nordafrika und der arabischen Welt erschüttert. An dem Gipfel nehmen - neben anderen Afrika-Vertretern - auch die Regierungschefs von Ägypten und Tunesien teil.
Ägypten und Tunesien setzen auf internationale Milliardenhilfe für die Reformen. Ägypten kalkuliere mit bis zu 8,5 Milliarden Euro bis Mitte nächsten Jahres, wie französische Medien berichteten. Tunesien beziffert den Bedarf auf 17,6 Milliarden Euro in den nächsten fünf Jahren. Die Weltbank könnte demnach bis zu vier Milliarden Euro aufbringen, außerdem könnte sich die Europäische Bank für Wiederaufbau engagieren.
Merkel sagte im Bundestag konkrete Unterstützung zu. Diese Staaten brauchten Hilfe, sagte sie. Beim G8 wollte sie klären, wie mit den internationalen Finanzinstitutionen ein "bedeutendes Maßnahmenpaket" geschnürt werden könne. Deutschland sei dafür auch zu einem Schuldenverzicht bereit. Internationale Wirtschaftsforscher riefen die G8 auf, Tunesien großzügig zu helfen.
Verärgert und enttäuscht zeigten sich schon zu Beginn des Gipfels die Entwicklungs- und Hilfsorganisationen. Die G8 hätten ihre Versprechen an die Ärmsten der Armen auf der Welt gebrochen. Das gemeinsame Ziel aus dem Jahr 2005, die Entwicklungshilfe bis 2010 um 50 Milliarden Dollar aufzustocken, sei um 19 Milliarden verfehlt worden, kritisierten Vertreter in Deauville.
Mehr als als 12 000 Sicherheitskräfte bewachen den Gipfel. Nachdem eine US-Spezialeinheit vor einigen Wochen den Al-Kaida-Führer Osama bin Laden ausgeschaltet, fürchten die Regierungen rund um den Globus terroristische Racheattacken.
Die Gipfelrunde wollte auch über die Nachfolge an der Spitze des Internationalen Währungsfonds beraten. Die französische Finanz- und Wirtschaftsministerin Christine Lagarde hatte am Mittwoch den Hut in den Ring geworfen. US-Präsident Barack Obama hielt sich offensichtlich auch die Option offen, erstmals einen Nicht-Europäer den Posten übernehmen zu lassen.
Lagarde sei als Kandidatin ebenso talentiert wie der mexikanische Zentralbankchef Agustín Carstens, sagte sein Finanzminister Timothy Geithner in Washington. Die USA hätten als größter Anteilseigner des IWF eine "bedeutende" Rolle bei der Wahl eines Nachfolgers des zurückgetretenen Dominique Strauss-Kahn. "
