Energio - Option Over Iron Ore Licenses, in Nigeria - Nov 8, 2010

HL:

+ The Directors of Energio Ltd (ASX:EIO) are pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a Put &Call Option Deed with TGP Australia Ltd (TGP), to acquire 100 per cent of KCM Holdings Pty Ltd (KCMH) from TGP.

+ KCMH is the holding company of KCM Mining Ltd (incorporated in Nigeria) which owns a package of recently granted exploration licenses covering iron deposits in Kogi State, Nigeria. It holds 70% of KCM Mining Ltd which own the iron ore tenements. KCMH also has the right to acquire 100% of KEF Projects Ltd (incorporated in Nigeria) which has applied for the grant of further iron ore tenements in Nigeria.

+ The licences contain magnetite in BIF &iron rich oolitic deposits with an exploration target of 1 billion – 2 billion tonnes of potential iron mineralisation grading a minimum of 30% Fe. The potential quantity &grade is conceptual in nature @this stage as there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource under the JORC Code.

+ The proximity of the licences to existing rail, road and power infrastructure provides potential advantages in reduced capital expenditure &allows fast track project development.

+ As part of the transaction EIO will extend a loan to KCMH of $800,000. These funds will allow an exploration drilling program to commence in early ´11.

+ The directors of EIO have invited Dr Ian Burston, Mr Don Carroll &Mr Kevin Joseph, current directors of TGP, to join the EIO Board. ...

"Energio Limited (ASX: EIO) has announced that it has completed a geophysical survey of the KCMH iron ore licence areas in Nigeria.

The results will provide a reference from which the follow up drilling program can be planned.

Work is continuing on sourcing drill rigs, with drilling expected to commence in late April 2011.

The objective of the drill program will be to establish a JORC compliant resource.

Zitat von Popeye82: Energio: Two years ago the company decided to literally ditch the toys +are now an emerging Iron ore explorer in the resource rich Nigeria; The company has entered into agreements to acquire a package of prospective exploration licences covering iron ore prospects in the Kogi State, Nigeria. The Kogi State is an iron ore rich region in Nigeria that is yet to be fully explored, targets 1.000.000.000 -2.000.000.000 tonnes @minimum 30% Fe - AI, Cover Story - Dec11

"The company is now seeking to raise AUD$2.250.000 to continue their comprehensive exploration program focused on the area of the Agbaja Plateau with the intent of identifying +defining a JORC resource by 30 June ´12.

Besides drilling, sampling +assaying ~20,000m, the Company will also take bulk samples for metallurgical testing +will complete a scoping study to determine a potential resource development plan.

In an interview with Mr. Nathan Taylor, Non Executive Director +Mr. Don Carroll, Non Executive Director they provided an update of their current explorations.

Drilling has already commenced +according to Don Carroll they are “Between 30 to 40% through the drilling programme”. The company has appointed independent consultants to do the JORC verification, “they’ll be over there in mid-January to do an appraisal of the drilling programme” he said.

Both believe that they will have completed their maiden JORC resource in the 2nd quarter of next year.

The infrastructure is all there as Don Carroll explained, “There is a heavy haul railway that extends ~300 kilometres from the mining area to a river port. There’s a Nigerian Government steel plant right in the middle of that country built with Soviet aid money some time ago when it was all fashionable and +railway line has been relatively unused although it has been used to haul iron ore from a Nigerian operated mine. The line is the same gauge as the Hammersley Iron track in Western Australia”.

There are also sealed roads +highways connections to the national power grid, a 414 megawatt gas fired power station(within 50km of the project) +abundant water which may assist in expediting project development.

The board is small but holds vast experience as Don Carroll explained, “It’s not a big board but I think it’s a very good board. We’ve got Ian Burston who has proven experience in the iron ore business”. Ian Burston has more than 30 years of top level experience in both Western Australia +international iron ore mining and export. He has held executive management +Board positions with some of Western Australia’s largest +most successful mining operations. Don Carroll added that, “my own background is in iron ore +other minerals both as a mining engineer +then later on marketing +selling those products in Asia +in Europe”. There is also Mr Kevin Joseph, a Non Executive Director who has extensive experience in Nigeria +the West African region, being a 17 year resident of Nigeria, he gives the company invaluable in-country relationships.

The company is on track with a good balance sheet that will enable them to complete their JORC as Nathan Taylor explained “In terms of the balance sheet, the balance sheet post the deal will look like ~8 -9.000.000 dollars cash @bank +that will be enough to get us through to our maiden resource.” "

- ~9.2% of the Company’s 151km2 landholding prospective for channel iron deposits.


+ 1st ever JORC iron ore resource reported for the Republic of Nigeria .

+ Resource update scheduled to be released in June ´13, with improved geological confidence expected to result in the majority of the resource reclassified as Indicated.

+ The Company currently has one multipurpose drill rig located @the Agbaja Project +following the end of the wet season, which is now expected to be mid-November, this rig will return to resource definition drilling, followed by step out drilling to the south. The step out program will enable the Company to determine a JORC "Exploration Target" for the Agbaja Project, "providing an "indication" of the significant potential of the Agbaja plateau."

+ Metallurgical testwork on ~300m of PQ diamond core to commence with the objective of beneficiating the in-situ iron grade to >58% Fe.

+ Maiden JORC resource enables the commencement of project development studies, as inputs to a pre-feasibility study.

US calls China fishing curbs “provocative” - CER/R - Jan 10, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65089

"The US State Department on Thursday called China’s new fishing restrictions in the disputed South China Sea “provocative and potentially dangerous,” Reuters reported.

The legislature of Hainan province implemented rules on Jan 1 stating that foreign fishing vessels must obtain approval to enter waters under its jurisdiction. Beijing claims almost the entire oil- and gas-rich South China Sea, rejecting rival claims to parts of it from the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam. The new fishing rule follows China’s creation of an air defense identification zone in late November above the East China Sea. "

"China’s producer prices, a measure of the cost of goods as they leave the factory, fell 1.4% in December, the 22nd monthly decline, Bloomberg reported, citing government data released on Thursday.

“Producer-price deflation means manufacturing is still facing lots of challenges,” said Shen Jianguang, chief Asia economist at Mizuho Securities Asia in Hong Kong. The data add to evidence that the world’s second-largest economy weakened last month. Gauges of manufacturing and services based on surveys of purchasing managers both declined for December. "

Pollution +austerity to slow, China's auto sales - CER/BB - Friday, Jan 10, 2014

"The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers forecast on Thursday that automobile sales growth will slow in 2014 as anti-pollution measures and austerity campaigns gain ground, Bloomberg reported.

China will see deliveries rise as much as 10% in 2014 after last year’s 14% growth, the state-backed auto association said. “Vehicle sales in China are facing pressures brought on by environmental protection, traffic jams and more cities limiting purchases,” Shi Jianhua, CAAM vice secretary general said in Beijing. “Demand for imported luxury vehicles will surely decline as the official frugality campaign spreads beyond the government and affect companies and individual consumers.” "

Royalties "may shut 75% of Zimbabwe gold sector" - Mmx - Jan 16, 2014

- Memory Mataranyika -
www.miningmx.com/page/news/gold_and_silver/1638494-Royalties…

"IAN Saunders, chairman of the Zimbabwe Chamber of Mines committee on gold producers, said this week the government should review royalties on gold and speedily address other policy issues to avert a looming crisis.

The risk was that most of the gold mines in the country may be forced to close down owing to viability constraints, he said.

The Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe told Zimbabwean parliamentarians on Tuesday that the government's increased tapping of the industry to boost state coffers could choke the gold miners' bottom lines and deter investors from sinking money into new projects.

A new report on the Zimbabwean economy released on Wednesday by Econometer Global Capital said growth in Zimbabwe’s mining sector is likely to be stunted this year.

"A ban on export of unrefined gold was effected and it is obvious the consequences might be distasteful," Econometer said in its report.

Saunders, who is also CEO of New Dawn Mining, said: “There are serious viability issues in the gold industry and our assessment is that, within 90 days, 75% of the gold mines in this county will be shut unless there are policy changes."

He added that "royalties are too high,” saying the mining fees were just one of many constraints companies operating in Zimbabwe are generally facing. Producers of the precious yellow metal pay 7% in royalties for mining gold in the country.

The World Bank’s country economist for Zimbabwe told an economic symposium in Harare on Wednesday that Zimbabwe’s increased attention on the mining sector to boost its coffers would be affected by softer metals prices. This is set to hit economic growth prospects for the current year.

"Amidst uncertainty around mineral prices and recovery in the agricultural sector, the baseline projections forecast economic growth at 4.2% in 2014," she said.

Zimbabwe is expected to have produced about 14 tonnes of gold in 2013 but there are fresh concerns that the 15 tonne projection for this year will not be attained.

The government is also putting pressure on producers of gold, diamonds and platinum to contribute royalties to a Sovereign Wealth Fund the country is setting up to abet continued decline in the economy.

Gold mines in Zimbabwe include those run by New Dawn Mining, Caledonia Mining Corporation, RioZim and Metallon Gold. Mwana Africa and Falcon Gold are also significant producer of the precious metal.

Apart from gold, Zimbabwe also has vast reserves of platinum, nickel, chrome, diamonds and coal but investors are sceptical to sink money into new projects while exploratory projects have been put on the back-burner. "

"Several Chinese provinces are setting lower targets for growth this year, a sign that overall economic growth could slow, Bloomberg reported.

Hebei, which borders Beijing in the north, set an 8% growth goal amid “unprecedented pressure” from air-pollution controls, according to an annual work report published Tuesday in the official Hebei Daily. Last year’s target was 9%. Fujian in the southeast and Gansu and Ningxia in the northwest are also targeting slower expansion, state-run websites show. At least seven provinces have indicated they will shoot for lower targets as the central government focuses on policies to sustain the economy in the long term. "

"Finger pricks and careful eating are an important part of the daily routine for most people with diabetes. While automated glucose meters are a growing option, they can still create discomfort and other inconveniences.

Google[x] wants to go in a totally different direction with a project announced today: smart contact lenses that can detect glucose levels via the wearer’s tears and alert them when levels dip or rise.

“It’s still early days for this technology, but we’ve completed multiple clinical research studies which are helping to refine our prototype. We hope this could someday lead to a new way for people with diabetes to manage their disease,” project co-founders Brian Otis and Babak Parviz wrote in a blog post.




This isn’t the first smart contact lens, and several options already exist for people interested in monitoring glaucoma. But Parviz, who also leads the Google Glass team, is a smart contact pioneer and Google[x], which is a secretive division of Google dedicated to difficult, future-looking projects, has a reputation for ably pursuing projects like this.

The lens works via a small wireless chip and glucose sensor embedded between two pieces of soft material. The current prototype puts out a reading once a second. Google is also interested in integrating an LED light, which could light up to alert the wearer of dangerous glucose levels.

The lab is now looking for parters to help bring the lens to market. It would also like to develop an app that would help wearers read and manage the data the lens takes in.

“We’ve always said that we’d seek out projects that seem a bit speculative or strange , and at a time when the International Diabetes Federation is declaring that the world is “losing the battle” against diabetes, we thought this project was worth a shot,” the co-founders wrote. "

"The world’s seventh-biggest smartphone maker, ZTE Corp (0763.HKG, 000063.SHE), aims to almost double its US market share within three years by increasing spending on marketing, Reuters reported.

ZTE targets a US market share of 10% by 2017, up from 6% in 2013. It would still be far behind Apple (APPL.NASDAQ) and Samsung Electronics (005930.KRX), which hold 41% and 26% of the market, respectively. The Shenzhen-based company, which trails behind Huawei Technologies in selling smartphones and telecoms equipment, was essentially shut out of the US and other markets after government security concerns about Chinese-made equipment.

"Controlling an object with your mind might sound sci-fi, but it’s not. Researchers and hobbyists have been converting brainwaves into computer commands for years now for applications like moving a prosthetic limb or piloting a drone.




OpenBCI is a palm-sized board meant to make mind-controlled devices a little less sci-fi and a little more accessible. For a special Kickstarter price of $300, backers can get their hands on a board to measure and process brainwaves and put them into action.




While it will still require a great deal of expertise to work with, the OpenBCI still looks promising for its size and relative simplicity. When I visited the Noisebridge hackerspace for the first time last year, members told me about M.C. Hawking, a broken down wheelchair they had converted into a mind-controlled robot. Brain waves were recorded with a giant, ancient EEG machine they kept in the corner; not exactly simple or portable.




But M.C. Hawking is the perfect example of why a device like this is such a big deal. This isn’t something that only interests scientists stuck away in a lab at a university. Hackers and hobbyists want to play with brain-computer interfaces too, and they’re not about to wait for the field to mature before they dive in. The OpenBCI is one of a growing number of devices that will help them leapfrog existing barriers to entry.

One annoyance with the OpenBCI design being offered on Kickstarter is you still have to glue electrodes to your head. OpenBCI is also pursuing an interesting alternative though: 3D printed headsets that cling to the wearer’s head. Along with size, the placement of electrodes can be customized–similar to how alternatives like the EPOC work.



OpenBCI is not the first team to pursue a project like this, but its successful Kickstarter campaign is a promising start. Units will begin shipping to backers in March, after which we will hopefully start to see some very cool applications. "

Some pundits are even forecasting a return to the lows the metal saw in the early 1980s.

If it doesn’t utilise technology as best it can then many in the industry will be hard pressed to survive through this current trough of high cost extraction for relatively low returns.

One of the major areas in which operators can not only become more efficient, but also cut energy and production costs , is in the processing of the gold.

Importantly, unlike coal processing, gold processing currently involves the use of environmentally hazardous cyanide, adding a raft of legal and regulatory burdens to operating.

In this climate the industry also now has to treat more complex ores as the easier to process gold ores are now all mined.

Many of these complex ores contain high levels of soluble copper, which consume the cyanide used to process the gold requiring larger amounts of the toxic chemical which increases the environmental risk.

However there are currently two innovative and greener methods currently being developed in Australia and the US which have the potential to change the way the industry processes gold.

Scientists at the CSIRO and the North Western University in Illinois are researching two different methods, thiosulfate and alpha-cyclodextrin (a substance commonly extracted from corn starch) respectively, to process and recover gold.

Thiosulfate and bromide are used to leach the gold, in a similar way to cyanide, whilst the alpha-cyclodextrin is used in a similar fashion to carbon to recover the gold.

Speaking to Paul Breuer at the CSIRO, he told Australian Mining that research is currently developing gold processes using thiosulfate as an alternative lixiviant to cyanide and have made some major breakthroughs.

“Gold only forms complexes with certain agents, and thiosulfate is one of the best lixiviants apart from cyanide,” he explained.

“While thiosulfate has been investigated as a potential alternative for decades, having first been looked at for gold processing back in the 1970s, it has challenges in terms of thiosulfate consumption and recovery of the gold thiosulfate complex.

“The gold thiosulfate complex cannot be recovered using carbon, which however is advantageous in treating carbonaceous containing gold ores.”

The CSIRO has developed an elution process for removing gold from strong base ion exchange resin used to recover gold thiosulfates, with Breuer explaining that prior to the development there remained the challenge of effectively getting the gold thiosulfate off the resin.

“The breakthrough was the use of sulfite in the solution used to recover remove the gold thiosulfate from the resin, which has now opened up a new area of recovery potential applications of thiosulfate with ion exchange resin for gold recovery,” he said.

Thiosulfate was chosen for in-situ or in-place leaching of gold as it is more environmentally friendly than cyanide, however its stability and rate of gold recovery is typically not as good as cyanide.

But “when it is used with copper-ammonia as an oxidant for treating gravity concentrates, the gold leach rate can be higher than cyanide, though thiosulfate consumption in the process can also be high,” Breuer explained.

Breuer went on to tell Australian Mining that more than one Australian miner is already going down this track and investigating thiosulfate for in-situ treatment of gold ores.

However he stated that for the time being thiosulfate process development is fairly ‘niche focused’ as the CSIRO team is looking at its use for in-situ leaching and treatment of gold concentrates and that “in the short term it is not developing a complete replacement for cyanide, instead it is about building confidence and establishing the economics in the process in niche areas”.

Scientists at the North Western University in Illinois are using alpha-cyclodextrin, a substance commonly extracted from corn starch, to recover gold.

Zhichang Liu, at the University of Illinois, has discovered another green method of gold processing.

His team has uncovered an environmentally friendly replacement for activated carbon - alpha-cyclodextrin, a material commonly composed of units derived from corn starch.

“We mixed nitric acid and hydrobromic acid, then we dissolved gold in the solution to extract it from the ore,” he told Australian Mining.

By using this method Liu explained that the leach rate is much faster and operators don’t need to use strong acids and cyanide as “we can use bromide instead, and this solution is neutral, so we can add the alpha-cyclodextrin to this solution to aid in isolating gold”.

Fraser Stoddart, the chemistry professor leading Liu’s research team, said “alpha-cyclodextrin is the gold medal winner” for processing.

“We have replaced nasty reagents with a cheap, biologically friendly material derived from cornstarch.”

Liu added that the process can also extract gold from consumer e-waste. "

Scientists "discover a 3D material that 'acts like graphene' , but it has some quirks" ; Using a 3D substance "would be easier when manufacturing electronics, but the newly studied material has a bad habit of bubbling and turning to powder when exposed to airm" - GO/SU - Jan 18, 2014

"Graphene, that 2D sheet of carbon atoms with some impressive qualities, has its flaws. Namely, it can’t block electricity from flowing, which makes its chances of being incorporated into solar panels slimmer. Scientists are working on ways to tweak it to be more compatible, but they’re also on the lookout for alternatives that perform just as well.

Na3Bi, a combination of the metals sodium and bismuth, is the most recent emerging option. SLAC and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers were able to create a sample of the material and reveal its structure for the first time, confirming what scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences had theorized: Na3Bi’s electrical properties mean it really would perform similarly to graphene. Basically, it could absorb and transmit electrons really, really fast.

“Ever since graphene was isolated in 2004, researchers around the world have looked for ways to take full advantage of its many desirable properties,” said Yulin Chen, who led research at Lawrence Berkeley’s facilities, in a press release. ”But the very thing that makes graphene special — the fact that it consists of a single layer of atoms ­– sometimes makes it difficult to work with, and a challenge to manufacture.”

Unfortunately, Na3Bi has its own flaws. While one of graphene’s amazing qualities is that it is stable and capable of surviving sitting out in the open at room temperature, Na3Bi isn’t. It bubbles and turns to powder when it comes in contact with air. That means there’s no way it could currently be incorporated into electronics.

But the researchers are hopeful they can develop new compounds that are more stable than Na3Bi. They are also looking into tailoring each new material for specific applications, whether it be electronics or solar cells. "

Carbon nanotube-coated material moves when exposed to light; Due to nanotubes’ natural qualities, they can convert even small amounts of light into heat, leading to no-battery-needed motion. Researchers " "think " the system "could " be used to create smart curtains, that automatically draw when there is light" - GO/N.com/UCB, BERKELEY - Jan 9, 2014

www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140107/ncomms3983/full/ncomms3983…

"Who needs smart windows when you can have smart curtains? University of California-Berkeley researchers have created a material that can bend or straighten when exposed to light, no batteries required. It could be integrated into objects like curtains or even robots to add an automatic response to light. The Berkeley team published their work in Nature Communications this week.

“The advantages of this new class of photo-reactive actuator is that it is very easy to make, and it is very sensitive to low-intensity light,” associate professor Ali Javey said in a release. “The light from a flashlight is enough to generate a response.”




The researchers created a series of small “curtains” by layering carbon nanotubes on top of a disc of flexible plastic. The nanotubes, which are rolled up tubes of carbon atoms that are highly efficient at absorbing light, were exposed to a light source. They turned the light into heat and passed it on to the plastic disc. The heat caused the plastic to bend while the nanotubes maintained their shape, leading the disc to bend.

The size or orientation of the nanotubes can be tweaked to coax the discs to respond to different wavelengths of light. The plastic can also be altered to give its resting state a flat or curled shape.

“We envision these in future smart, energy-efficient buildings,” Javey said in the release. “Curtains made of this material could automatically open or close during the day.” "

Zitat von Popeye82: Growing resource in the Republic of Congo; A UK company is showing the way in developing a potentially huge phosphate deposit in the Congo - MJ - Dec 9, 2011

Zitat von Popeye82: Cominco "Plans To Bring The World’s 10th Biggest Phosphate Project Into Production By ´14 " - MS - Mar 7, 2012

- Alastair Ford -
http://minesite.com/news/cominco-plans-to-bring-the-worlds-t…

"“If we’re going to be friends”, says Roderick Smith, when Minesite sits down with him for a nice cup of camomile tea in the City, “we’d better make sure we know which Congo we’re talking about”. Roderick’s an old hand in the Aussie resources scene, having helped in the discovery, financing +development of five mines in the last 25 years, but time round, his latest vehicle, Cominco, has taken him into completely new territory.

Cominco is focussed on developing the Hinda phosphate project in the Congo -Republic of Congo to be precise. That’s the Congo which didn’t have the bloody civil war, the ethnic cleansing, +the conflict minerals. To avoid confusion it’s often referred to as Congo-Brazzaville, but if that sounds a bit obscure it’s worth noting that Xstrata, Severstal, Glencore, Sundance, Zanaga, Elemental, African Iron, +the Chinese company CMEC are all active there.

And it’s little wonder. The country’s primary earner is oil, but it’s also well endowed with iron ore, potash, uranium, +phosphate. And it’s that last which particularly interests Roderick. The Hinda license covers 1.211 square kilometres of ground not far from the coast +the country’s key Atlantic Ocean port @Pointe Noire. Following initial helicopter-borne radiometric work, geochem, +the application of a host of other exploration techniques, the company identified eight separate pods of phosphate mineralisation, stretching from the south-east to the north-west of the license. And they are not just scattered across Cominco’s ground haphazardly. As Roderick says, +as a quick look @the schematic shows, “they really line up”. So the thinking had to be that underneath the soil cover, the deposits all joined up in one continuous deposit several tens of kilometres long .

Such a scenario would be ideal, because phosphate gets mined like any other bulk commodity -there needs to be a lot of it, +it needs to be near good infrastructure. The infrastructure is in place –indeed the country’s main highway, the N1, runs across Cominco’s ground, through the town of Hinda. But as to the resource, the next step was clearly to drill it, which Cominco duly did in ´11. The company put down 396 holes for nearly 31.000 metres along 22.5/50 kilometre strike length.

The results were highly encouraging, showing 1st +foremost that the phosphate was indeed continuous along strike under the soil cover. The results also showed that the phosphate is hosted in a graben between 500 metres +750 metres wide, +that it stacks up against any of the world’s established phosphate deposits , many of which are in Florida. “We’ve found a broad, shallow, near-surface phosphate deposit which is open cuttable, +I think it’s the thickest in the world ”, says Roderick. In Florida, thicknesses generally run @around six to 10 metres. But, continues Roderick, “we seem to have between 40 metres +60 metres consistently ”. Multiply that by the width of the graben +the strike length, +you get an awful lot of material. So far the company can show 127.000.000 tonnes to JORC standards, grading 13.2% P2O5, with 87 parts/million(ppm) uranium, +additional aluminium oxide, iron +calcium.

But already CSA Global are looking to update the resource, +the increase on the currently total should be quite significant. How significant? “Well, we’ve crashed CSA’s computer, it’s so big”, says Roderick with a smile. CSA now say they’ve ordered a supercomputer in order to be able to handle the myriad datapoints that now exist on Hinda.

The plan now is to continue with further drilling, +to work up a scoping study by the end of April. “Our target is to get to around 800.000.000 tonnes +then list on the Aim market”, says Roderick. The company will raise around €50.000.ooo in the process, money which will be spent on a bankable study which should outline a clear path to production by ´14. The idea is to mine around 4.000.000 tonnes of phosphate rock/year, to upgrade the material to around 32% P2O5 by means of an on-site beneficiation plant, +then to transport the material 37 kilometres to the coast by means of a slurry pipeline. "On those parameters, Hinda would become the world’s 10th biggest phosphate project."

But Roderick’s ambitions don’t stop there. Longer-term he has plans for the construction of an integrated DAP/MAP fertiliser plant, +although the US$1.500.000.000 price tag for such a plant seems prohibitive, he notes that most phosphate operations do work on a vertically integrated basis. The 1st phase ought not to be too much of a struggle, though. “I reckon I can raise between US$300.000.000 ´+US$400.000.000 for a strong project in a good jurisdiction”, Roderick says. “It’s easier to finance a US$500.000.000 project than a US$50.000.000 one .” The market certainly seems open to financings @the moment. It’ll be interesting to see what the response is when the company comes to Aim later in the year. "

Ich wurde damals von dem Entzug der Lizenzen vollkommen überrascht, kenne mich da aber jetzt lange nicht mehr aus.


Sooooollten sie diese Klage wirklich gewinnen, dann ist da wahrscheinlich eine Menge drin. Ich schätze aber mal dass die Chancen darauf zu beurteilen nicht gerade leicht ist, und ich kann es gar nicht einschätzen.

Ahura Energy: "A Breakthrough in Solar Thermal" - GT/2GE - Feb 22, 2011
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2011/02/22/ahura-energy-breakth…

"I just had a very interesting conversation on one of my favorite topics: solar thermal, or concentrated solar power (CSP). I came across Ahura Energy of Campbell, CA on the fantastic online resource OnGreen.com, and spoke with Dr. Fareed Sfard, the company’s CEO, who boasts over 20 years experience in the Solar industry.

Because we have no NDA in place at this point, Fareed needed to speak at a high level. But if what I was told is correct, the company’s patented Concentrating Solar System, that can be used in both utility scale and rooftop deployments, has a huge cost advantage over competitive approaches. “The system” (whatever this eventually turns out to be) moves the reflective and refractive elements without motors or electric actuators.

“But how?” I asked innocently. I could hear Fareed laughing politely. “That’s the secret sauce,” he chuckled. “In a given space, it produces 350% more power compared to traditional solar systems at one third the cost per kilowatt-hour.”

“Well, Dr. Sfard, I know some people at Ausra, which, of course, was sold last year to Areva. I’m sure I could arrange a conversation, if you’re interested in selling or licensing your technology.”

“That would be possible, though they see us as a threat,” he allowed.

“I would hope they do, sir! That’s a good thing,” I replied. “In my experience, that’s the impetus behind most deals. Until business people are threatened, there’s no motive to deal with the problem,” I replied.
We’ll see where this goes.

Interested parties may wish to contact Fareed; if you do, expect to find an extremely bright and charming guy. But don’t expect him to give up the recipe for the sauce. "

http://news.illinois.edu/news/14/0117bio-bots_TaherSaif.html

"In the 1966 film “Fantastic Voyage,” a CIA agent and his crew shrink down inside a submarine to venture inside a scientist’s body to remove a life-threatening blood clot. Younger readers might remember a similarly intense episode of “Rugrats.”

It’s a concept that actually interests scientists; focus your attack on a disease or infection, and you reduce how much of a patient’s body has to undergo exposure to harsh treatments. Last December, a team at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Dresden demonstrated an interesting solution (in German): trap a sperm in a tiny metal tube and coax it in a specific direction with a magnet, and you can convince it to swim in any direction inside the body.

Today, University of Illinois researchers published a paper (subscription required) in Nature Communications describing a sperm-like robot that accomplishes a similar goal. The bot is capable of swimming on its own in liquids similar to those found inside the body.

The robot is made out of a piece of flexible polymer, which is fashioned into a head and tail. Living heart cells are added at the top of the tail. They automatically begin to beat together, which sends a wave down the tail that causes it to wriggle and move the bot forward.







“It’s the minimal amount of engineering — just a head and a wire,” team lead Taher Saif said in a release. “Then the cells come in, interact with the structure, and make it functional.”

The researchers are interested in adding light or chemical sensing abilities to the bots. If a patient has, say, a tumor, a chemical or glowing dye could be added to draw medicine carrying robots toward it . The research team was able to build a two-tailed robot, which would help it navigate inside the body.

“The long-term vision is simple,” Saif said in the release. “Could we make elementary structures and seed them with stem cells that would differentiate into smart structures to deliver drugs, perform minimally invasive surgery or target cancer?” "

Nordic Energy "keen to unlock "overlooked" "potential", of Danish North Sea" - PAI - Dec 3, 2013

- Ian Lyall -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/63825/nordic-ene…

"There are a number of important facets to the successful search for oil and gas.

The first is having the local knowledge required to pick up the most prospective acreage in your sphere of interest.

It’s then a case of possessing the experience and expertise required to crack the code – to pick up the tell-tale signs of hydrocarbons that guide a meaningful exploration programme.

A black book of industry contacts is considered important, particularly when the time comes to pick a partner to develop the assets.

And a thorough understanding of the capital markets helps, as it is essential to fund the business through to the farm-in phase.

In ISDX-quoted Nordic Energy you have a company that ticks all these boxes.

It has picked up the 3,600 square-kilometre licence 1/13 off the coast of Denmark, which contains five separate play concepts, 11 potential targets and prospective resources totalling 1.2bn barrels of oil and 2.8 trillion cubic feet of gas on P50 basis.

The licence sits 35 miles east up-dip of the producing Dan Chalk field and shares many of the characteristics of the 3bn barrel Johan Sverdrup find, off the coast of Norway, according to Nordic’s chief executive Rudolf Kleiber.

Kleiber, a 35-year industry veteran, has been involved in three major discoveries in the region and was described by one analyst I spoke to as ‘Mr Denmark’, having been involved with the area since 1981.

Followers of the sector will know the petroleum geologist as the founder of Elko Energy, which was originally set up in 2005 when it acquired the Denmark licence area.

It raised US$24mln to develop the North Sea block alongside assets in the Netherlands, Canada and China.

Problems came when Elko’s largest shareholder, Xtract Energy, decided to call the shots. The upshot was a dry hole drilled on the Luna prospect in Denmark. Which begs the question: why try again?

Kleiber believes that in their haste to test the area Elko and the operator Noreco actually failed to drill a valid prospect.

The presence of gas when the area was first drilled in the 1970s points to 1/13’s potential. While the current licence area doesn’t fully encompass the old Elko holding (that part reverted back to the Danish government), Kleiber and the team reckon they have potentially the most exciting portion.

Nordic is now mapping a “pseudo 3-D” seismic survey, which has been generated by converting some of the existing 11,600 line kilometres of 2-D seismic data to a 3-D volume.

This will be part of a thorough reworking of all the existing information that will go towards an updated competent person's report (CPR), which is due out by the end of the first quarter.

“We will be re-evaluating all previously mapped structures based on the pseudo-3D data and the 2012 Luna well along with the Miocene play that hadn’t been considered previously,” explains Kleiber.

The CPR is important, particularly if the group then decides to pull the trigger on plans to move to the AIM market in 2014.

Nordic also hopes to press on with a fully-fledged 3-D programme on the prospects that offer the most potential ahead of drilling in 2015 or 2016, chief financial officer Pat Rocholl confirms.

When it comes to drilling, Nordic might look towards a partner to help shoulder the significant costs associated with this phase of exploration.

And Rocholl reveals there have already been expressions of interest. “We have said officially the door is closed, but constructive ideas to take this forward won’t be dismissed,” he adds.

The estimated cost of drilling a well is put at US$20mln, which is cheap when compared with the US$120mln spent by Exxon drilling an inconclusive hole on Ireland’s Atlantic margin earlier this year. This is due to shallow water and limited drilling depth on the Nordic acreage.

Nordic is looking to farm out up to 40% of the licence in return for a free-carry on a well.

Admission to AIM would also provide the platform from which the company would look to acquire a part share in a producing asset, which would then make the group financially self-sufficient.

The work schedule, at least initially, is not particularly financially onerous at US$700,000 for the first two-year period, with 20% of the tab picked up by the state-owned Danish North Sea Fund, which is a partner.

Meanwhile, the huge potential of Nordic’s acreage actually defies belief – and there will be those who remain sceptical.

But then it took explorers almost half a century to pinpoint the massive Johan Sverdrup discovery, one of the largest ever made on the Norwegian shelf, Kleiber points out.

“Denmark is the forgotten corner of the North Sea, but there is a lot of data and a lot of work that has been carried out,” he says.

“Gas has been encountered on the acreage and there is oil nearby. People can’t actually believe the size of the structures – but then we point out Johan Sverdrup was found after 45 years of exploration.”


Profile

Nordic Energy Plc has been set up as an Investment Vehicle focused on opportunities in the oil and gas exploration and production sector in the North Sea and Northern Europe. NEP’s initial focus will be on low cost entry opportunities in the Danish and Dutch offshore sectors.

The Directors of the Company, Rudolf Kleiber and Patrick Rocholl, have significant experience in the oil and gas sector, specifically in the Nordic region. They believe that their expertise and extensive contacts will assist them in the identification, evaluation and funding of appropriate investment opportunities. The Directors will be assisted by Jens-Christian Olsen, a geologist with 35 years’ experience in the sector and the region. "

Pakistan in talks with China, to acquire 3 nuclear plants - CER/WSJ - Jan 21, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65136

"Pakistan is in talks to acquire three nuclear power plants from China for around US$13 billion according to officials, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Two other advanced reactors from China are due to be built near Pakistan’s southern port of Karachi, under a US$9 billion agreement completed last year. US officials expressed concern about any deal, which would bypass international rules against nuclear exports to countries that, like Pakistan, have not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. China says that its nuclear trade with Pakistan predates its membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, and is therefore protected. "

People’s Bank of China said that it had provided an unspecified amount of funding to the largest banks via its Short-term Lending Facility and will inject further cash on Tuesday. The interest rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans has spiked in recent days. Analysts say the central bank is trying to avoid an acute credit crunch, that could spark panic . "

Zitat von Popeye82: PyroGenesis 'highlighted as "one of the key technology providers" on the world's most advanced High Tech Air Craft Carrier', the USS Gerald Ford(CVN-78) carrier was christened two weeks ago +is "the 1st of the most advanced class of aircraft carriers ever built" with the last carrier being delivered over 10 years ago. PyroGenesis' patented Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System(PAWDS) was highlighted as "one of the key advanced technologies featured on this "state of the art vessel" "; P. P. Pascali: "This is "indeed a great moment not only for PyroGenesis, but Canada as a whole. " To have our technology highlighted as the "green technology of choice, on one of the most advanced technology platforms in the world " is "clearly a defining moment for Canada"; akin to the deployment of the CanadaArm on the International space station. This is the 1st new aircraft carrier class since the USS Nimitz in `68, +America's 1st new carrier of any kind, since the USS George H.W. Bush was completed in `03. The USS Gerald R.

So far two of Pyrogenesis' PAWDS systems have been ordered, but if the Nimitz-class carriers +Enterprise were to be replaced on a one-for-one basis, eleven carriers would be required over the life of the program, representing a revenue stream to PyroGenesis of @least $50.000.000, +this does not include revenues from PAWDS land based applications", G. Holcroft: "PyroGenesis' system was "chosen in a highly competitive environment; its design is five times smaller +half the weight of a conventional marine incinerator." The launch of the USS Gerald Ford "reaffirms PAWDS as a "proven +state of the art solution for waste management, +underscores PyroGenesis' ability to handle extremely complex/hazardous waste challenges, that no other technology can contend with."

A 'new way to harvest more light to make solar cells more efficient'; MIT researchers "have developed another interesting way, to boost the efficiency of the 'typical' silicon solar cell" - GO/MIT - Jan 21, 2014

"Researchers at MIT have figured out a new technique to make a traditional silicon solar cell — the kind that makes up most solar panels on rooftops — more efficient. The scientists published the findings in Nature Nanotechnology this week.




The innovation embeds a two-layer device made of carbon nanotubes and photonic crystals between the solar cell and the sun’s light. The device absorbs the sun light, heats up, and emits light that has a specific wavelength that can be used efficiently by the adjacent solar cell. A typical silicon solar cell doesn’t use all of the wavelengths of sun light, and many go to waste.

The MIT researchers say that with these types of designs, which use heat to boost efficiency, some solar cells in "theory" could "one day" produce an efficiency of >80 percent. In comparison some of the highest efficient solar cells in mass production currently are in the low 20 percent range from SunPower. Alta Devices claims a solar cell that delivers 30 percent efficiency.

The innovation is currently just in the lab (and only developed at a 3.2 percent efficiency) and as we all know many things change in the journey from the lab to the factory. But the MIT researchers think they can push their tech to reach a 20 percent efficiency, which could deliver a commercial product.

Efficiency is very important for solar manufacturers because it’s one of the best ways for these companies to differentiate and sell a higher end product — the cells can convert more light, and more power is created with the same amount of panels. SunPower can sell its panels for more money than the lower commodity 10 percent conversion panels.

Other innovations that can boost efficiency for solar cells include tiny super conducting dots, photon recycling and epitaxial lift-off, and using optics to split spectrum. "

Energio - Option Over Iron Ore Licenses, in Nigeria - Nov 8, 2010

HL:

+ The Directors of Energio Ltd (ASX:EIO) are pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a Put &Call Option Deed with TGP Australia Ltd (TGP), to acquire 100 per cent of KCM Holdings Pty Ltd (KCMH) from TGP.

+ KCMH is the holding company of KCM Mining Ltd (incorporated in Nigeria) which owns a package of recently granted exploration licenses covering iron deposits in Kogi State, Nigeria. It holds 70% of KCM Mining Ltd which own the iron ore tenements. KCMH also has the right to acquire 100% of KEF Projects Ltd (incorporated in Nigeria) which has applied for the grant of further iron ore tenements in Nigeria.

+ The licences contain magnetite in BIF &iron rich oolitic deposits with an exploration target of 1 billion – 2 billion tonnes of potential iron mineralisation grading a minimum of 30% Fe. The potential quantity &grade is conceptual in nature @this stage as there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource under the JORC Code.

+ The proximity of the licences to existing rail, road and power infrastructure provides potential advantages in reduced capital expenditure &allows fast track project development.

+ As part of the transaction EIO will extend a loan to KCMH of $800,000. These funds will allow an exploration drilling program to commence in early ´11.

+ The directors of EIO have invited Dr Ian Burston, Mr Don Carroll &Mr Kevin Joseph, current directors of TGP, to join the EIO Board. ...

"Energio Limited (ASX: EIO) has announced that it has completed a geophysical survey of the KCMH iron ore licence areas in Nigeria.

The results will provide a reference from which the follow up drilling program can be planned.

Work is continuing on sourcing drill rigs, with drilling expected to commence in late April 2011.

The objective of the drill program will be to establish a JORC compliant resource.

Zitat von Popeye82: Energio: Two years ago the company decided to literally ditch the toys +are now an emerging Iron ore explorer in the resource rich Nigeria; The company has entered into agreements to acquire a package of prospective exploration licences covering iron ore prospects in the Kogi State, Nigeria. The Kogi State is an iron ore rich region in Nigeria that is yet to be fully explored, targets 1.000.000.000 -2.000.000.000 tonnes @minimum 30% Fe - AI, Cover Story - Dec11

"The company is now seeking to raise AUD$2.250.000 to continue their comprehensive exploration program focused on the area of the Agbaja Plateau with the intent of identifying +defining a JORC resource by 30 June ´12.

Besides drilling, sampling +assaying ~20,000m, the Company will also take bulk samples for metallurgical testing +will complete a scoping study to determine a potential resource development plan.

In an interview with Mr. Nathan Taylor, Non Executive Director +Mr. Don Carroll, Non Executive Director they provided an update of their current explorations.

Drilling has already commenced +according to Don Carroll they are “Between 30 to 40% through the drilling programme”. The company has appointed independent consultants to do the JORC verification, “they’ll be over there in mid-January to do an appraisal of the drilling programme” he said.

Both believe that they will have completed their maiden JORC resource in the 2nd quarter of next year.

The infrastructure is all there as Don Carroll explained, “There is a heavy haul railway that extends ~300 kilometres from the mining area to a river port. There’s a Nigerian Government steel plant right in the middle of that country built with Soviet aid money some time ago when it was all fashionable and +railway line has been relatively unused although it has been used to haul iron ore from a Nigerian operated mine. The line is the same gauge as the Hammersley Iron track in Western Australia”.

There are also sealed roads +highways connections to the national power grid, a 414 megawatt gas fired power station(within 50km of the project) +abundant water which may assist in expediting project development.

The board is small but holds vast experience as Don Carroll explained, “It’s not a big board but I think it’s a very good board. We’ve got Ian Burston who has proven experience in the iron ore business”. Ian Burston has more than 30 years of top level experience in both Western Australia +international iron ore mining and export. He has held executive management +Board positions with some of Western Australia’s largest +most successful mining operations. Don Carroll added that, “my own background is in iron ore +other minerals both as a mining engineer +then later on marketing +selling those products in Asia +in Europe”. There is also Mr Kevin Joseph, a Non Executive Director who has extensive experience in Nigeria +the West African region, being a 17 year resident of Nigeria, he gives the company invaluable in-country relationships.

The company is on track with a good balance sheet that will enable them to complete their JORC as Nathan Taylor explained “In terms of the balance sheet, the balance sheet post the deal will look like ~8 -9.000.000 dollars cash @bank +that will be enough to get us through to our maiden resource.” "

- ~9.2% of the Company’s 151km2 landholding prospective for channel iron deposits.


+ 1st ever JORC iron ore resource reported for the Republic of Nigeria .

+ Resource update scheduled to be released in June ´13, with improved geological confidence expected to result in the majority of the resource reclassified as Indicated.

+ The Company currently has one multipurpose drill rig located @the Agbaja Project +following the end of the wet season, which is now expected to be mid-November, this rig will return to resource definition drilling, followed by step out drilling to the south. The step out program will enable the Company to determine a JORC "Exploration Target" for the Agbaja Project, "providing an "indication" of the significant potential of the Agbaja plateau."

+ Metallurgical testwork on ~300m of PQ diamond core to commence with the objective of beneficiating the in-situ iron grade to >58% Fe.

+ Maiden JORC resource enables the commencement of project development studies, as inputs to a pre-feasibility study.

- By almost any measure, the world is better than it has ever been. People are living longer, healthier lives. Many nations that were aid recipients are now self-sufficient. You might think that such striking progress would be widely celebrated, but in fact, Melinda and I are struck by how many people think the world is getting worse. The belief that the world can’t solve extreme poverty and disease isn’t just mistaken. It is harmful. That’s why in this year’s letter we take apart some of the myths that slow down the work.

Chinese oil imports from Iraq surge - CER/WSJ - Jan 22, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65140

"Chinese oil imports from Iraq rose around 50% in 2013 while imports from Saudi Arabia, China’s largest overseas oil supplier, were flat from 2012, the first time in at least a decade that Chinese imports from the kingdom haven’t grown on an annual basis, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Imports from Saudi Arabia, Angola and Russia over the past year have shrunk as their crude oil made up 42% of China’s 2013 imports, compared with 44% in 2012. China is trying to be less dependent on top oil suppliers such as Saudi Arabia as greater availability of global oil helps China diversify its sources of foreign crude oil. "

China exports pollution, to US: Study - CER/BB/UoC - Jan 22, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65143

"Pollution from China’s export manufacturing sector is blowing across the Pacific Ocean to reach the US West Coast , according to a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Bloomberg reported, citing a statement from the University of California, Irvine.

Los Angeles experiences at least one extra day per year of smog that exceeds federal limits because of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emitted by Chinese factories. Winds called “westerlies” can drive airborne chemicals across the ocean and lead to dangerous spikes in contaminants in California and other Western US states. "

Aiding laser focus - MA - Jan 22, 2014

" The dream of many sites is to increase production and at the same time drive down safety risks.

The development of realtime digital terrain mapping technology is now aiding one Queensland coal mine in achieving this.

Created in a partnership with LC, MIneWare’s Digital Terrain Mapping (DTM) system uses a series of boom mounted laser scanners and GPS sensors to continuously scan and map the area around draglines as they operate.

DTM is an extension of MineWare’s existing Pegasys dragline monitor, and tracks movement around the dragline while it works, providing live and historical comparisons between the mine plan and the actual ground as it changes.

Andrew Jessett, MineWare’s CEO, said a total scan of the dragline’s operating environment – both inside and outside of the set work area – is created by the scanners as the machine is swinging back and forth during its regular operations.

“This technology allows us to compare actual terrain to design in a visual sense,” he said.

“What this means is that we can significantly improve design compliance and reduce common operating errors by helping the operator know precisely where to dig and where to dump it.

“Operators and foremen can now identify and correct areas not to design as they occur (especially spoil toe), reducing the need for surveyors in the put. This is a big step forward for safety and productivity as problems can be fixed while the dragline is where with minimum coal loss from excavation.”

Regarding the successful trials at the unnamed Central Queensland coal mine, Jessett stated that this continuous pit data coming in is now allowing operators, dispatch/foreman, surveyors, and engineers to monitor operations in a safer environment.

“With this improved data flowing back to the office, our client can see not only what has been completed but also calculate volumes, geo-tech analysis and monitoring, and check bucket factor calculations when required,” he said.

“This improves safety by reducing the need for surveyors to complete scans themselves and work in potentially hazardous areas in the pit to check that the machine is digging to design.”

LC director Bruce Leslie add that the core value of the DTM system is the live “continuous reconciliation” process which improves operator efficiency.

“When it comes to correcting dig to plan errors, timing is everything,” Leslie said.

“Once a dragline has moved on, it is too late to go back and correct an issue; if an operator digs in the wrong place or creates batters at the wrong angle then the only time to correct the issue is right then and there, not once the dragline has moved to the next block.”

According to MineWare trials have shown live updates verified to within <300 millimetres of actual altitude in most environmental conditions.

It went on to add that the payback period for the technology, after examining reductions in spoil room errors or low wall dig to plan errors, has been as low as three months. "

ICC 700 Residential Green Certifications Will >Double, in ´14 - CT/GBLU - Jan 21, 2014

- Stuart Kaplow -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/01/21/icc-700-residential-…

"Today there are 29,724 ICC 700 National Green Building Standard certified homes and lots. As the residential green code is on the cusp of eclipsing 30,000 certifications, more than a dozen governments across the country are evaluating adopting mandates or incentives tied to ICC 700.

In 2007, National Association of Home Builders and the International Code Council partnered to establish this residential green building code. The ICC 700 can be used by any builder for their individual project as a rating system (including third party approval), or be the basis for a local government residential green building code.

The current 2012 version of ICC 700 addresses what may have been the loudest criticism of the earlier version, lax energy efficiency requirements. While the original ICC 700 was tied to the International Energy Conservation Code 2006, the current version uses the IECC 2009 (estimated to result in energy efficient performance that is about 15% higher than the previous 2006 code). And many local governments have already adopted IECC 2012.

While today only a modest number of local government laws refer to the code, the International Green Construction Code (IgCC) requires compliance with the ICC 700 if a jurisdiction chooses to regulate residential buildings four stories or less. As the IgCC more broadly adopted in 2014, so will the ICC 700.

The four threshold ICC 700 levels, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Emerald are strikingly similar to the more widely known LEED for Homes.

If the philosophy of LEED for Homes is to impact the top 25% of building, ICC 700 is aiming to bring green to the mainstream. And the scope of LEED for Homes is limited to single family new construction, low and mid rise building while the scope of ICC 700 is all residential building. A recent cost comparison found as a percentage of baseline house costs, LEED Silver cost 5 – 7 % where ICC 700 Silver cost 3%.

Home Innovation Research Labs serves as the secretariat of NAHB’s ICC 700 National Green Building Standard program and tracks implementation. In 2013, there were 2,218 home/building certifications, down slightly from 2,368 in 2012. But the larger story lies in multi family housing, which represents nearly 82% of total units now certified, where 14,312 units were certified last year nearly double the 7,979 certified in 2012. So, total certifications were up in 2013.

North Carolina leads the nation in ICC 700 certifications followed by Virginia, Texas, Indiana and New York. And Maryland, where an ICC 700 home is eligible for a County enacted property tax credit, is quickly gaining.

And the real sweet spot is the number of projects registered and in process. There are 2,022 single family homes in process and 46,269 units within multi family buildings in process which are on track to more than double the number of certifications in 2014 from 2013. "

Platinum CEOs speak out, as industry braces for strike action - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Jan 22, 2014

- Natasha Odendaal -
www.miningweekly.com/article/platinum-ceos-speak-out-as-indu…

"A day before the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) leads a 80 000-strong strike in the platinum sector, the CEOs of Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), Impala Platinum 
(Implats) and Lonmin Platinum have warned that the union’s unrealistic and unaffordable wage demands cannot be met.

Amplats CEO Chris Griffith, Implats CEO Terence Goodlace and Lonmin CEO Ben Magara have stood firm in their view that the impending strike action will be to the detriment of the platinum industry, employees and their families, communities and South Africa.

The trio, which this week confirmed receipt of the 48-hour strike notice from AMCU, said in a statement that the union was making promises to employees that cannot be delivered.

“This is a time when the industry can ill afford further losses of production and jobs due to strike action,” the companies’ leaders said.

Strike action in 2012 and 2013 had led to a combined loss of 879 400 oz of production and R12.54-billion in revenue, while workers forfeited wages of R1.18-billion, excluding the loss of bonuses and other benefits.

This, in conjunction with a declining platinum price, which plunged 19% over the past three years, and ever-rising costs, led to a reduction in the industry workforce from 145 000, in December 2011, to less than 134 000 by December 2013, the platinum producers added.

Nomura economist Peter Attard Montalto said AMCU, with about 70% membership in the platinum sector in Rustenburg, was “clearly” aiming high, but this meant the possibility of failure was higher.

“It would be simple to say the AMCU's demands are totally unaffordable, but another way to look at it is that mining companies could afford them, but only with considerable jobs losses, mechanisation – which is not appropriate in most mines given how thin the seam of ore is – and an artificially inflated platinum price through policy intervention,” he said.

While some meaningful wage increases and one-off return-to-work bonuses were expected as companies attempt to stop the strike dragging on too long, the companies were also likely to use this opportunity to “reset”, Attard Montalto said, citing possible job cuts or an extended shutdown that would enhance forward margins.

AMCU was seeking a more than double monthly wage increase to R12 500 for entry-level workers at Amplats and Lonmin, and just over R8 500 for workers at Implats – a reduction on the R12 500-a-month demand made last year.

Implats, Amplats and Lonmin were offering between 8% and 8.5% for employees in the A- and B-band bargaining unit, which comprised category 4 to 8 employees, and 7.5% for C level employees, which included miners, artisans and officials.

Accommodation and other allowances would also be increased.

“These offers compare favourably with increases in other sectors and are above the current inflation rate of 5.3%. It is important to note that the platinum industry has also extended wage increases substantially above the inflation rate in preceding years and, currently, pays among the highest entry-level wages in the country,” the trio concluded.

Jobe, NBB 'take aim @Big Oil; in fiery keynote in San Diego'; NBB chief Joe Jobe "blasts Big Oil for “misleading Americans about fuel policy ,”+operating a “propaganda machine ” to “kill diversity +choice” in transportation fuels " - BD/NBB, SAN DIEGO - Jan 21, 2014

- J. Lane -
www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2014/01/21/jobe-nbb-take-aim-…

"In California, National Biodiesel Board CEO Joe Jobe blasted the petroleum industry for “misleading Americans about fuel policy”, and he called on President Barack Obama to stand firm behind his previous commitments to supporting alternative energy industries.

“Biodiesel’s story is an example of how effective government policy can be to jump start a fledgling industry,” he said. “That is the same story of nearly every new industry that involves technological development. Strong government policy support along with a unique spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship, and risk-taking are the primary reasons that so many major modern industries had their start in America.”

On RFS, Jobe explains, “The Renewable Fuel Standard is effective policy that is working. It is fulfilling its intention to establish diversity, competition, and choice in the transportation fuel sector, which is why the incumbent industry is trying to kill it.”

The “incumbent” is Big Oil, a term Jobe defined as those working around the clock to erase the RFS and all it has accomplished. He pointed out that the idea of a free energy market is false and that nothing about the global or domestic petroleum market is free, despite what the petroleum industry’s propaganda machine would have us believe. First, the petroleum sector has, since its start, enjoyed tax and policy support. They began at the birth of the industry and continue today.


Jobe, who is a CPA, meticulously outlined a few of the subsidies and other policy support. He also reminded the audience the government’s definition of a subsidy: any targeted tax code preference, and include:

1. Percentage depletion deduction – a deduction where companies can write off more than their actual cost, in some cases significantly more.

2. Nonconventional petroleum tax credit – when this decades long program ended in 2007 credits had grown to $4.5 billion annually.

3. Immediate write-off of Intangible Drilling Costs.

4. Some companies are allowed to take an enhanced oil recovery credit when oil drops below a certain amount. Specific to the oil and gas industry.

5. Some companies are allowed to set up as Master Limited Partnerships, which means they pay no corporate income tax. This is specific to oil and gas companies and is about as big of a corporate tax break as you can get.


“The petroleum lobby purports that more domestic petroleum will translate to lower prices, but the facts prove otherwise,” said Jobe. “Despite record U.S. production, fuel prices have stayed high.”

“Oil is a global commodity where prices are controlled by an international cartel that fixes supply to ensure high profits. And the fracking of shale oil is costly. If the price drops, it will no longer be economical to maintain production. These realities mean the energy market is anything but free.”

The National Biodiesel Convention and Expo continues this week in San Diego. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Eagle Star Minerals - Releases Letter from the President - Nov 19, 2013
www.marketwired.com/press-release/eagle-star-releases-letter…

"Dear Shareholders;

It is with my greatest pleasure to reach out to you today in order to acknowledge your interest in the Company while recognizing significant milestones we have achieved together with the help of your support. With our maiden resource as part of the long anticipated, initial NI 43-101 report right around the corner, I have decided to take this opportunity and lay out to you the strategy that we have carefully crafted in house to ensure maximum leverage of Eagle Star's unique circumstances (significant land exposure along the phosphate belt of Brazil, strong geological outlook and premium location at the heart of what is the world's largest agricultural region) as the company aims to become a dominant force active in Brazil's booming agricultural sector.

The commencement of an aggressive drill program at Bomfim, a strategic land acquisition and recruitment of experts with specific knowledge of how to produce and sell phosphate based fertilizers in Brazil are just a few examples of measures taken recently by the Company in its quest to fulfill its goals. As a shareholder you would have noticed our Bomfim Project taking center stage over our other projects throughout the past year. The reason for this shift in focus is our belief that Bomfim's similarities to the adjacent MbAC Fertilizer's ("MbAC") Itafos Mine, in terms of geology, ore types and near term production possibilities are striking and therefore present an opportunity too good to delay.

From day one of our involvement in the Bomfim project our exploration strategy was based on closely following our proprietary geological model whilst trying to identify areas of phosphate mineralization along the phosphate belt. This model led us to the discovery of nine (9) such targets. To date, two have been followed up with further investigation and both have successfully returned excellent results of high quality phosphate at or close to surface. All targets share the same characteristics including what is especially important from our perspective - large outcrops of high-grade mineralization. Why is that important? High-grade mineralization allows us to fast track our way into production bypassing large capital commitments and long production lead times. Subsequently, this would accelerate value creation and result in significantly less dilution for our shareholders.

Following in the footsteps of our mining neighbor MbAC and its predecessor Itafos, we know that crushed outcrops of high-grade phosphorite can be sold within the close vicinity of our project area as direct application natural fertilizer. Same as in the case of both these companies, we intend to start producing at Bomfim as soon as possible so that we can generate enough cash to inject back into exploration and then eventually towards development of a larger scale production facility. Most recently, MbAC has ceased operation of its direct application natural fertilizer facility allowing Eagle Star and its shareholders to take advantage of a unique opportunity whereby a market has already been created. At a very low cost of approximately 2 million dollars we can build a similar facility to extract and process high-grade material similar to the one operated by MbAC and sell it to local farmers who are using this product as a partial substitute to the standard, more costly NPK blend.

Our plan for early production at Bomfim should help explain why over the past few months we have focused our drill program on quantifying outcropping high-grade phosphorite at already identified targets throughout the Bomfim project. At the South East portion of Bomfim Hill ("PZE-South") ease of access and a successful pit opening campaign were important considerations when it came to selecting the first target to be drilled. Drill results have clearly indicated high-grade, at surface mineralization that seems to extend to the targets located at the North ("PZE-North"), Central ("MSZ") and West ("PZE-West") portions of the Bomfim Hill. We are therefore confident that Bomfim Hill alone with its four separate sub-targets, represents a very lucrative opportunity in terms of near term production and that it in turn, will greatly benefit our shareholders.

Same as at PZE-South, the combination of a few factors such as ease of access, positive results from scout drilling and a subsequent pit opening campaign revealing high-grade at surface has led us to drill Target A1 ("Amaury") next. The small drill program here proved also to be a success as we recorded multiple high-grade drill intercepts at or close to surface including drill hole AM-RC-10 intersecting 18 meters of 15% P2O5 from surface. With two successful drill programs in hand, we are well on our way to proving a significant resource of high-grade phosphate mineralization in arguably the world's most strategic location from a fertilizer consumption perspective.

Though the discovery and development of high-grade phosphate is a priority for us, we believe that similar to our neighbor MbAC, lower grade phosphate is also abundant in Bomfim especially in areas that reside close to the phosphate belt. So while in the short to mid term we intend to produce fertilizers from higher grades of phosphate that require very little processing, we know that in the longer term we will look to integrate the lower grade/higher volume mineralization into our production plan as this will increase sustainability and growth of our future operations. To do so, we will have to invest in a flotation plant and other facilities that will allow for the conversion of the lower grade material to fertilizers. To that end, we have started flotation tests on representative lower-grade material from Bomfim. We hope that with the results from these tests (that we expect soon) we would be able to prove the full cycle of planned production that will paint a clear picture to our investors as to how we plan to further monetize our Bomfim asset.

Whilst we are very pleased with the land package we have managed to accumulate to date, we are always on the lookout for additional acquisition targets in the vicinity of our project areas that can add significant value to our portfolio. Our latest acquisition - Santiago, is a perfect example of this approach, as in our mind, it is one of the most strategic phosphate claims in Brazil. Formerly owned by Vale, this new claim has been on our radar screen since day one as it resides directly between the original Bomfim claims and MbAC's largest and highest grade ore body - "Canabrava". Work performed just recently by our technical team has revealed very large high-grade outcrops that plateau over the property's boundaries in addition to substantial evidence that suggests a possible extension of the Canabrava ore body into our new concession area. Our belief is that this occurrence is a good indication to the presence of both high-grade and lower grade mineralization in large volume and thus why we have just begun drilling our Santiago target so we may better test the extent of this high-grade outcropping phosphate and inevitably update the soon to be published NI 43-101 technical report as early as Q1 2014.

As the company continues to develop so too does our team. Our goal is to be a producer in 2014 so it was important for us to recruit the specific knowhow to make sure this goal is met. Hence why we added two very strategic gentleman as of late - Edvaldo Guimaraes most recently worked as the Sales and Marketing Manager for MbAC's direct application natural fertilizer production plant. An agronomist with over 20 years of agricultural specific experience, Mr. Guimaraes maintains strong relationships with farmers across Brazil and specifically surrounding the Bomfim claims where he has already been successful in securing 60,000 tonnes of direct application natural fertilizer orders for supply in the 1st half of 2014. Around the same time we were also able to contract Tiago Pereira, formally the Chief Mining Engineer for MbAC's direct application fertilizer plant. Mr. Pereira was instrumental in the design, implementation and day to day operation of this facility. He will play a key role in Eagle Star's plan to duplicate that same strategy that was successful for MbAC.

We are strongly convinced that Eagle Star, and yourselves as shareholders, have a bright future ahead. The fundamentals necessary for success have been put in place - team, assets and proximity to marketplace. Many catalysts exist for Eagle Star right around the corner including multiple resource calculation updates, near term production not far behind in combination with more drilling, flotation and further technical testing of the ore, all of which position Eagle Star and its shareholders in a very unique place from a risk/reward prospective with huge potential upside. We also expect a few significant developments with relation to our two other projects - Samba and Ruth, which I have not covered in this letter to you today, but do expect to communicate these developments to you in the near future as they materialize. We look forward to continue advancing the Company with your support, as we are certain that at this stage every bit of that progress will uncover significant value to you, our shareholders.

Zenefits "snags $15.000.000, plus Lars Dalgaard for its board" - GO - Jan 22, 2014

- By Barb Darrow -
http://gigaom.com/2014/01/22/zenefits-snags-15m-plus-lars-da…
http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/18/y-combinator-backed-zenefit…

"Zenefits, the self-proclaimed “Workday for small businesses” now has $15 million in fresh funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Maverick and Venrock and named Lars Dalgaard who founded SuccessFactors, to its board.

That is no small matter. Dalgaard, now a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, built SuccessFactors, a SaaS provider of human resources services, which SAP bought for a whopping $3.4 billion three years ago. He knows a bit about what companies want from these services.

“I have personally met half of the people who make HR buying decisions, and I can say they all want what Zenefits offers,” Larsgaard said in an interview.

What he loves about Zenefits co-founder Parker Conrad is the “ferocious velocity with which he thinks about product and then builds that product. That is unseen in this industry — in Siebel, Workday or SuccessFactors,” he said. “He does not get hijacked by some analyst’s opinion of what shoud be done.”

Conrad said he is motivated because at his last startup he hated, hated, hated doing the drudge work of setting up new employees. “I knew if I hated it that much others do too.”

His solution is to outsource and automate all the benefits-related rigmarole for new employees — the selection and set up of health,vision and dental insurance, 401K,s etc, said Zenefits co-founder Parker Conrad. Zenefits gets paid not by the end-user company but by the insurance companies and back-end providers of the services offered. It competes not directly with WOrkday, which targets huge companies, but the hundreds of thousands of smaller businesses out there who might otherwise use traditional insurance brokers or Professional Employer Organization (PEOs) like Trinet, that provide similar services but can cost thousands of dollars per employee, Conrad said

Zenefits plans to staff up to build more services and boost sales and support. There are 42 employees now, a number that will probably double in a year. This new cash brings total venture funding to $17.1 million. "

Forrest 'fights slavery with coal deal'; Iron ore mogul Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest has "reached a deal with Pakistan to free millions of slaves, in return for the opportunity to generate energy" - MA/TA/WFF - Jan 23, 2014

"Iron ore mogul Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest has reached an informal deal with Pakistan which will see over two million slaves freed in return for the opportunity to generate energy.

New technology developed at WA’s Curtin University will be trialed in Pakistan, converting billions of low quality lignite coal into diesel.

In return for the technology the state has signed a separate agreement with Forrest’s Walk Free Foundation, introducing regulations aimed at eradicating slavery through debt, indenture or inheritance, The Australian reports.

Commenting on the deal Forrest said it’s a development that has the potential to both end slavery and transform Pakistan’s economy by removing the nation’s reliance on foreign fuel.

''The goal is energy independence for the Punjab and the eradication of slavery in all of the Punjab, a province of 100 million,'' Forrest said.

The Pakistani State of Punjab is the first region to commit to eradicating slavery.

The agreement will see mining specialists from Australia research commercially viable ways of using Punjab’s big lignite coal deposits.

If the researchers’ technology can be successfully implemented the low grade coal has the potential to be converted into diesel.

Last year Forrest called on organisations to audit their supply chains, saying modern day slavery is rife and companies need to ensure they aren’t unintentionally supporting slave labour.

At the time Forrest said he was shocked to discover slave labour was present in his network of about 3500 suppliers.

"We searched our suppliers and we found slavery," he said.

"The forces which allow that despicable trade and abuse of people are still within the economic system and that's what must be looked at.

"Business can make a massive and historic contribution to the end of slavery."

The Fortescue Metals Group chairman is quickly making a name for himself as a philanthropist, joining the likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to pledge that he will donate half his wealth to charity.

Forrest also donated $65 million to WA’s higher education system in October. "

Tsodilo Resources - Announces Exploration Target for the Xaudum Iron Ore Project in Botswana -of 5.000.000.000 to 7.000.000.000 Tonnes of Iron Ore @15 -40% Fe, for the entire strike length - Feb 23, 2014

"Summary":

+ A conservative exploration target of 5.000.000.000 to 7.000.000.000 tonnes of Iron Ore @grades ranging between 15-40% Fe has been calculated for the entire strike length(36.8km) of the Xaudum Iron Ore project, Botswana. This includes both units of the Xaudum Iron Formation consisting of a Magnetite Banded Iron Formation "BIF"(ranging between 25-40 % Fe) +a Magnetic Schist(ranging between 15-25% Fe). All mineralized units within the Xaudum Iron Project are capable of producing a premium grade magnetite product of >68% Fe as discussed in the Company's Press Release of Dec 17, `13 +available on the website @www.tsodiloresources.com.

+ Tsodilo calculated this exploration target by extrapolating results from current drill hole data to the far larger area covered by the ground magnetic geophysical data by utilizing a ground magnetics inversion model.

Railway companies(T.CNR) "eye lower costs, with natural gas locomotives", SH/TCP, OMAHA - Feb 23, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/natural-resources/2014/01/23/railway…

"OMAHA, Neb. _ The diesel-burning locomotive, the workhorse of American railroads since World War II, will soon begin burning natural gas _ a potentially historic shift that could cut fuel costs, reduce pollution and strengthen the advantage railroads hold over trucks in long-haul shipping.

Rail companies want to take advantage of booming natural gas production that has cut the price of the fuel by as much as 50 per cent. So they are preparing to experiment with redesigned engines capable of burning both diesel and liquefied natural gas.

Natural gas ``may revolutionize the industry much like the transition from steam to diesel,'' said Jessica Taylor, a spokeswoman for General Electric's locomotive division, one of several companies that will test new natural gas equipment later this year.

Any changes are sure to happen slowly. A full-scale shift to natural gas would require expensive new infrastructure across the nation's 140,000-mile freight-rail system, including scores of fueling stations.

The change has been made possible by hydraulic fracturing mining techniques, which have allowed U.S. drillers to tap into vast deposits of natural gas. The boom has created such abundance that prices dropped to an average of $3.73 per million British thermal units last year _ less than one-third of their 2008 peak.

Over the past couple of years, cheap gas has inspired many utilities to turn away from coal, a move that hurt railroads' profits. And natural gas is becoming more widely used in transportation. More than 100,000 buses, trucks and other vehicles already run on it, although that figure represents only about 3 per cent of the transportation sector.

The savings could be considerable. The nation's biggest freight railroad, Union Pacific, spent more than $3.6 billion on fuel in 2012, about a quarter of total expenses.

But even under the most optimistic scenario, there's no way all of that diesel will be replaced. Railroads and locomotive makers are looking primarily at ways to retrofit existing machines to burn a mix of diesel and natural gas because that will be the quickest and easiest way to adopt the new technology.

Locomotive makers have not yet set the prices of their retrofit kits, but railroads expect they will be cheaper than a new locomotive costing roughly $2 million.

Using both diesel and natural gas also offers some advantages over using natural gas alone. The diesel can provide the spark needed to ignite natural gas without redesigning locomotive engines, and the diesel helps provide horsepower.

Railroads are planning to use liquefied natural gas, which is not as readily available as other forms of gas because it must be cooled to minus 260 degrees. That step adds to the price, but the amount varies based on how the process is done.

``It's so early in this that we're still working to understand the potential savings,'' said Louis Renjel, vice-president of strategic infrastructure at CSX railroad.

The projected cost comparisons do not include the millions of dollars railroads would have to spend on a network of natural gas fueling stations along their tracks. That expense won't be clear until after the tests, when railroads decide whether to build their own liquefaction facilities or just store fuels.

``There are a lot of factors that aren't accounted for yet,'' said Michael Iden, who oversees locomotive engineering at Union Pacific.

Locomotive makers say natural-gas engines could also significantly reduce emissions compared with diesel locomotives, but the potential cost savings is the biggest reason the rail industry is eager to make the change.

From the outside, natural gas locomotives will not look much different, but they will have to pull a tank car behind the engine to carry enough liquefied natural gas, or LNG, to have a similar range to diesel units.

Both of the major locomotive manufacturers, General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE, Stock Forum) and Caterpillar Inc.'s (NYSE: CAT, Stock Forum) Electro-Motive Diesel, have developed prototypes that will be tested by Union Pacific Corp. (NYSE: UNP, Stock Forum), CSX Corp. (NYSE: CSX, Stock Forum), BNSF Railway Co. and Canadian National Railway Co. (TSX: T.CNR, Stock Forum) beginning this year.

If the projected cost savings are realized, railroads would improve their profits and better compete against trucks, where they already hold the advantage on deliveries longer than 500 miles.

``They can lower their costs further and widen their advantage over trucks,'' Edward Jones analyst Logan Purk said. But he sounded one note of caution: Natural gas prices have always been volatile, and they could climb if gas exports expand significantly and more industries switch over to natural gas.

Another issue is the design for the fuel tender cars that will haul liquefied natural gas for the locomotives. That's something that will have to be standardized because the major freight railroads regularly pass locomotives back and forth to keep trains moving efficiently.

Once they agree on a design for the tenders, the railroads may have a hard time getting enough of them because tank car manufactures are already struggling to keep up with demand. Customers sometimes wait up to three years for new tankers.

This isn't the first time railroads have flirted with natural gas locomotives. Both Union Pacific and BNSF spent several years working on the concept in the late 1980s and 1990s, so the industry isn't starting from scratch.

Industry officials say the rising natural gas prices that helped scuttle their earlier experimentation with the fuel should not pose a problem this time because significant new sources of natural gas are now available.

Peter Roosen is CEO of VeRail, which is developing natural gas conversion kits for low-horsepower locomotives, such as those used in rail yards.

``I think we're going to have reasonably priced natural gas for decades,'' Roosen said, ``if not for a generation or two.'' "

Zitat von Popeye82: New AngloGold technology "safely mines ‘all gold, only gold, all the time’"; Interest in AngloGold Ashanti’s "new “game-changing” technology", which safely mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time”, is now being shown by the company’s gold-mining +platinum-mining peers, the company’s new CEO Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan(Venkat) said on Wednesday. “There’s no drill +blast. Effectively it removes the seismic impact, brings a safe working environment, eliminates dilution +brings all of the gold out,” Venkat told Mining Weekly Online, in a video interview(see attached) - MW, JOHANNESBURG - Aug 7, 2013

New blasting, smelting methods available, to boost platinum –Robinson[Video] - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Jan 23, 2014

- M. Creamer, Dr RE Robin Robinson -
www.miningweekly.com/article/new-blasting-smelting-methods-a…

"The introduction of new methods of blasting and smelting have the potential to boost platinum mining significantly, says research commentator Dr R E (Robbie) Robinson.

Robinson tells Mining Weekly Online in the attached video interview that the introduction of selected blast mining (SBM) in platinum mining, as with narrow-reef gold mining, requires negligible change to become operative.

The one-time National Institute for Metallurgy, now Mintek, director says it has the potential to boost the economic viability of narrow-reef platinum mining dramatically in the short term.

SBM involves fracturing rock in such a way that the reef remains intact.

Broadly speaking, the valuable platinum will represent a third of the rock that is currently brought to surface and the rest of the non-platinum-bearing rock that has to be blasted to open up space to work will remain underground to backfill the stopes.

The current method of blasting, which scatters the finely divided platinum far and wide, lowers the rate of platinum recovery significantly.

“We need to use blasting techniques that shock fracture the rock rather than throw it around in big high energy explosions.

Replacing costly smelting with a hydrometallurgical process – known as the Kell process – is the second change he advocates to boost platinum mining.

This process avoids having to separate the chromite from the platinum and, together with SBM, would offer a rate of platinum recovery of well over 90% , instead of the current 65% .

Kell, developed by Keith Liddell, consumes only 14% of the electricity that smelting consumes – 140 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate processed compared with 1 000 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate smelted.

There is also no milling with Kell, which is said to emits only 440 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) for every ton of concentrate treated, compared with the milling and smelting of a ton of concentrate to matte and base metal refining producing 1 400 kg of CO2/t of concentrate treated.


SHOCK WAVE BLASTING

Shock wave blasting, which involves the use of explosives with high detonation velocity and a sudden evolution of gas, sends shock waves that cause rock fracture and keeps precious-metal reef relatively coherent.

“With shock tube and delayed detonation you can do this blasting very satisfactorily without any difficulty whatsoever, and then the shock wave would be automatically transmitted into the reef

“Any decent manufacturer of detonators and explosives would be able to manage this with ease,” says Robinson, who, after retiring in 1990, formed AC Mining Consulting Services, which worked intensively on SBM.

Robinson believes that SBM can serve as a quick, interim solution ahead of the introduction of AngloGold Ashanti’s so-called South African technology, involving automated raise boring and facilitating narrow-reef mining at ultra depth.

Equipment for AngloGold’s “game-changing” technology, which mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time, safely”, is under construction, with the first machines scheduled to become available in the first quarter of 2014.

Figuratively speaking, Robinson is “pretty sure” that SBM could be introduced “tomorrow ". "

WA miners "strike deal, to develop African mining standards" - MA/TA - Jan 24, 2014

- A. Heber -
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/wa-miners-strike-deal-to-dev…
www.theaustralian.com.au/business/mining-energy/wa-premier-t…

" West Australian Premier Colin Barnett is striking a deal with African governments in a bid to develop the continent’s mining sector.

The plan will also see hundreds of Australian mining companies working in the region benefit from the agreement by reducing investment risks.

Visiting Africa next week, Barnett will meet leaders at a Common Market for Eastern and South Africa (COMESA) event in Zambia, a trading bloc made up of 19 member states including Egypt, Kenya, Libya and Uganda.

The memorandum of understanding between WA and COMESA outlines how WA’s mining expertise will be used to develop African mining laws, tenement systems, safety regulations and tax schemes, The Australian reports.

"Specifically, the MOU talks about the need to encourage and foster investment and the transfer of mining and petroleum-related technology between the COMESA member states and Western Australia,” a Barnett spokesperson told The Australian.

"It will allow WA to share lessons and an understanding gained through decades developing mining policy -- and, importantly, will share our lessons on fostering the associated community benefits.

"The legislation and regulation governing Western Australia's mining sector is world class, built up over more than 120 years of mining activity. Western Australia has valuable experience when it comes to building a resources industry that is both sustainable and mutually beneficial."

Originally tabled at a mining conference in Perth last year, Barnett has previously stated that cooperation will not only reduce investment risk for Australian companies operating in the region but will also bolster development initiatives in Africa.

Earlier this year Zambian mining and energy minister, Christopher Yaluma said African countries are looking at forming an alliance to standardise the very different mining policies across the continent.

Yaluma explained that it is also aimed at deterring companies from exploiting countries with rich resources. "

"Chinese developers installed a record 12 gigawatts of solar panels throughout the country in 2013, Bloomberg reported, citing a statement on Thursday by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

China’s installation last year almost matched the total amount of solar power in operation in the US and may exceed that in 2014. The power plants were built mostly in China’s sunny, western provinces of Gansu, Xinjiang and Qinghai and make its state-owned power companies the world’s biggest owners of solar assets. The nation expects to add 14 gigawatts of solar capacity this year. "

HSBC’s preliminary reading of China's purchasing managers' index, which tracks manufacturing activity in factories and workshops, fell to 49.6 in January, the lowest since August. A reading below 50 signals contraction. Qu Hongbin, the bank's economist in Hong Kong, said in a statement accompanying the data that the contraction results mainly from cooling domestic demand and implies softening growth momentum for Chinese manufacturing.

www.iogen.ca/media-resources/press_releases/2014_Iogen_pr_ja…

"In Canada, Iogen Corporation announced it has developed and patented a new method to make drop-in cellulosic biofuels from biogas using existing refinery assets and production operations.

The company estimates there is refining capacity in place to incorporate 5-6 billion gallons per year of renewable hydrogen content into gasoline and diesel fuel. Iogen will initially commercialize the approach using landfill biogas, and then expand production using biogas made in the cellulosic ethanol facilities it is currently developing.

The production method involves processing biogas to make renewable hydrogen and incorporating the renewable hydrogen into finished fuels in selected refinery hydrogenating units.

The overall greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by more than 60%, meeting the threshold for cellulosic biofuel in the USA. Iogen said it is actively consulting with the EPA and CARB to gain pathway approval for cellulosic RIN and LCFS credit generation.

“Biogas is produced today from landfills, wastewater treatment plants, waste digestion facilities, and farm digesters with well-proven technology,” says Patrick Foody, Iogen’s Executive Vice President, Advanced Biofuels. “We can now take biogas and make specification gasoline and diesel with renewable content using well-proven existing refining operations. It is a win for everybody.”

The company says it is planning to use the technology in association with two large-scale US cellulosic ethanol plants it is developing, resulting in increased overall cellulosic biofuel yields per unit of feedstock, lower unit capital costs, and lower water usage per unit of biofuel production. "

Indonesia's mining exports @standstill, after new rules -govt official - MW/R, JAKARTA - Jan 24, 2014
www.mineweb.com/mineweb/content/en//mineweb-political-econom…

"Indonesia's metal ore and concentrate exports have ground to a halt, a trade ministry official said on Friday, with a ban on ore shipments and an export tax introduced less than two weeks ago hurting the mining industry.

"There has been no concentrate export since January 12," Bachrul Chairi, director general of foreign trade at the trade ministry told Reuters. "As of now, no miners or companies have requested export approval for concentrate or processed ore to trade ministry."

Indonesia introduced an ore export ban on Jan. 12, although last-minute amendments eased the impact of the export ban on copper miners Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold and Newmont Mining Corp, which are now subject to a progressive export tax on concentrates.

Freeport Indonesia has yet to resume exports since the export tax was introduced, while the Mineral Entrepreneurs Association has filed a legal challenge against the ore export ban.

The ban is expected to cut government revenue by as much as $820 million this year, the country's finance minister has said. "

Platinum producers, union government mediation starts - MW, JOHANNESBURG - Jan 24, 2014

- Natasha Odendaal, Tracy Hancock -
www.miningweekly.com/article/platinum-producers-union-govern…

"A meeting between the Department of Labour (DoL), the platinum producers and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) started on Friday as government intervened in the latest labour dispute to hit South Africa’s mines.

The three strike-hit platinum producers, Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), Impala Platinum (Implats) and Lonmin, welcomed the hastily arranged mediation, proposed by Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe and led by Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant.

The meeting was initially postponed to a yet-to-be-determined date as AMCU obtained a mandate from its members to participate, however, DoL spokesperson Musa Zondi confirmed to Mining Weekly Online that the mediation, held at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration, in Johannesburg, was under way.

Over 80 000 AMCU members downed tools on Thursday at the three platinum producers, demanding a wage of R12 500 a month, in a protected strike that could cost Lonmin and Impala about 3 100 oz/d and 2 800 oz/d in platinum production respectively.

Media reports of the strike turning violent had emerged on Friday – something that AMCU general secretary Jimmy Gama denied, stating that the strike was peaceful and no violent outbursts had been reported.

Motlanthe this week said that organised labour, organised business and government would “continue to valorise social dialogue”, guided by the principles of the Framework Agreement for a Sustainable Mining Industry, which committed government, organised labour and business to work together to restore peace and stability in the mines. AMCU had not signed the agreement.

Amplats CEO Chris Griffith, Implats CEO Terence Goodlace and Lonmin CEO Ben Magara reiterated that prolonged disruptions in the sector would further damage South Africa’s reputation as an attractive business and investment destination, result in a negative impact on the revenue flows at and sustainability of the platinum operations, and lead to job losses at a number of marginal mines and shafts.

“The mining sector in our country has been in turmoil and in some instances there has been lots of loss of life. Many people, including investors and rating agencies, are of the view that [the] mining industry is on a decline ,” Motlanthe said at the annual organised labour conference of the National Economic Development and Labour Council on Wednesday."

New blasting, smelting methods available, to boost platinum –Robinson[Video] - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Jan 23, 2014

- M. Creamer, Dr RE Robin Robinson -
www.miningweekly.com/article/new-blasting-smelting-methods-a…

"The introduction of new methods of blasting and smelting have the potential to boost platinum mining significantly, says research commentator Dr R E (Robbie) Robinson.

Robinson tells Mining Weekly Online in the attached video interview that the introduction of selected blast mining (SBM) in platinum mining, as with narrow-reef gold mining, requires negligible change to become operative.

The one-time National Institute for Metallurgy, now Mintek, director says it has the potential to boost the economic viability of narrow-reef platinum mining dramatically in the short term.

SBM involves fracturing rock in such a way that the reef remains intact.

Broadly speaking, the valuable platinum will represent a third of the rock that is currently brought to surface and the rest of the non-platinum-bearing rock that has to be blasted to open up space to work will remain underground to backfill the stopes.

The current method of blasting, which scatters the finely divided platinum far and wide, lowers the rate of platinum recovery significantly.

“We need to use blasting techniques that shock fracture the rock rather than throw it around in big high energy explosions.

Replacing costly smelting with a hydrometallurgical process – known as the Kell process – is the second change he advocates to boost platinum mining.

This process avoids having to separate the chromite from the platinum and, together with SBM, would offer a rate of platinum recovery of well over 90% , instead of the current 65% .

Kell, developed by Keith Liddell, consumes only 14% of the electricity that smelting consumes – 140 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate processed compared with 1 000 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate smelted.

There is also no milling with Kell, which is said to emits only 440 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) for every ton of concentrate treated, compared with the milling and smelting of a ton of concentrate to matte and base metal refining producing 1 400 kg of CO2/t of concentrate treated.


SHOCK WAVE BLASTING

Shock wave blasting, which involves the use of explosives with high detonation velocity and a sudden evolution of gas, sends shock waves that cause rock fracture and keeps precious-metal reef relatively coherent.

“With shock tube and delayed detonation you can do this blasting very satisfactorily without any difficulty whatsoever, and then the shock wave would be automatically transmitted into the reef

“Any decent manufacturer of detonators and explosives would be able to manage this with ease,” says Robinson, who, after retiring in 1990, formed AC Mining Consulting Services, which worked intensively on SBM.

Robinson believes that SBM can serve as a quick, interim solution ahead of the introduction of AngloGold Ashanti’s so-called South African technology, involving automated raise boring and facilitating narrow-reef mining at ultra depth.

Equipment for AngloGold’s “game-changing” technology, which mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time, safely”, is under construction, with the first machines scheduled to become available in the first quarter of 2014.

Figuratively speaking, Robinson is “pretty sure” that SBM could be introduced “tomorrow ". "

Tenova "mulling ways of breaking junior funding deadlock"[Video] - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Jan 21, 2014

- M. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/tenova-mulling-ways-of-breaking…

"Global project management services company Tenova Mining & Minerals, which designs and supplies mining- and process-related equipment and provides mineral processing design, is mulling ways of breaking the mine funding deadlock that is preventing junior projects from proceeding.

Tenova Mining & Minerals president Walter Küng tells Mining Weekly Online in the attached video interview that the group is considering using its expertise and balance sheet to assist junior mining companies to raise bank finance.

Küng believes that getting junior and midtier miners up and running and generating cash deserves more attention and development than it is receiving.

“The projects are there but they don’t have traction to get off the ground,” says Küng.

Assisting in capital raising is “something we’ve been thinking about and may look at pretty seriously”.

Building plants on a lump-sum turnkey basis, which the company does 85% of the time, is itself a key driver of bank funding, as it guarantees the overall project price.

By catalysing juniors and banks to work together again, the company is hopeful that by the time the upturn comes, “some of these mines might be up and running and generating cash".

It believes it is able to assist in positioning juniors to fulfil most bank pre-conditions.

The 2 400-employee South African-headquartered Tenova Mining & Minerals has some R8-billion on its balance sheet.


THE NEW NORMAL

Brands under the Tenova Mining & Minerals umbrella include Tenova Bateman, Tenova Takraf, Tenova Bateman Technologies, Tenova Pyromet and Tenova Delkor and the group is active across a broad resources front, where it has traditionally pursued the opportunities presented by the capital expenditure (capex) on mining projects.

But the current forecasts of the mining majors indicate a capex decline over the next four to five years and Tenova now sees the ‘the new normal’ for the foreseeable future as being away from capex and towards optimisation of existing assets, improving efficiencies and intensifying after-sales service.

“This is what we are focusing on, besides chasing equipment sales, feasibility studies and EPCM (engineering, project and construction management) work,” he says.

The company has been “reasonably” successful in securing feasibility study work.

The company has proposed to a gold miner a novel way of recovering gold from tailings; it is engaged in diamond work in Botswana; it has upfront work at Baobab Resources in Mozambique; it has been awarded early project work by London Mining; it is undertaking a uranium feasibility study in Niger and it remains active at the Husab uranium project in Namibia.

“We’ve had to streamline our organisation on the EPCM side of things to keep the utilisation at a sustainable level. It’s really quite tough to make a penny out of cost-reimbursable jobs.

“In South Africa, it is probably fair to say that the cake is too small for all the service providers here, so we are trying to focus on the sub-Saharan African market more than anything else,” says Küng.

The equipment side of the business is doing well overseas and locally the company is benefitting from a conveying system award from synthetic fuel giant Sasol.

However, virtually all current Tenova Pyromet work is outside of South Africa.

“There’s very little pyro work here in South Africa, probably due to the shortage of electricity,” he added.

The company has $500-million worth of work on the go in Chile and is pursuing what it sees as “good prospects” in copper in Peru, which may involve its materials handling, mining and processing offerings. "

Singularity University "to launch $50.000.000 venture fund, to "tackle the world’s ‘grand challenges’" "; The "education center +accelerator, which focuses on exponential technologies with big potential, will begin raising capital in the 2nd quarter of `14" - GO/SU - Jan 24, 2014

- S. Brewster -
http://gigaom.com/2014/01/23/singularity-university-to-launc…
http://singularityu.org

"Forward-looking startups will have a chance at $50 million later this year when Singularity University, an education center and accelerator based at Mountain View’s NASA Ames Research Center, launches its first venture fund.

The university will begin raising capital during the second quarter of 2014, according to managing director of new venture development Sandy Miller. The fund will focus on companies launched by SU students, alumni and faculty.

Everything SU does is tied to pursuing “exponential technologies:” tools that are developing so fast that small teams of people can now use them to accomplish tasks that once required a large company. Examples include robotics, biotech and nanotechnology. SU challenges these fields to put their work toward solving major world problems like poverty, education and security.

SU has used these principles to populate its accelerator, which is separate from the venture fund, with an interesting mix of companies; an approach it will apply to the fund as well.

“The (accelerator) companies have to use an exponential technology as part of their product solution in markets, applications that are addressing at least one or more of the grand challenges,” Miller said in an interview. ”Being one or more years ahead of the market, that’s something that I see working with some of the companies in our portfolio.”

SU was started in 2008 by X Prize founder Peter Diamandis and Google director of engineering Ray Kurzweil. It has grown to encompass educational programs aimed at executives and graduate students and the accelerator. Getaround, Made in Space and Modern Meadow are among the participating startups. It also has a new program that pairs its startups with established companies like Lowe’s, Coca-Cola, Unicef and Hershey’s. Miller said said that while the accelerator currently only accepts companies associated with its alumni, it plans to begin accepting outsiders in six to nine months.

While interest in exponential technologies is growing, they can still face a harder time finding funding than an Instagram-type startup. Their final goal can be years away. But Miller emphasized that many find commercial prospects earlier than they thought. Modern Meadow, for example, which eventually plans to print edible meat, is already looking into markets for 3D printed leather.

“A lot of things are changing far faster than most of us realize and we’re living in a world that has problems and capabilities that will not be solved by the infrastructure from hundreds and thousands of years ago that we’re currently using,” CEO Rob Nail said in an interview. “There’s a critical need for us to be aware of how technology is shifting our lives and the world we live in, but also there’s a gigantic opportunity to take advantage of those technologies that are on the near cusp to deploy them to solve the big problems.” "

Study: Evidence shows human effects on Asian forests, for 11.000 years - SH/UPI, BELFAST - Jan 24, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/01/24/study-evid…

"Southeast Asia tropical forests, long thought unaffected by humans in the past, have in fact been shaped by humans for the last 11,000 years, scientists say.

While rainforests in Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Thailand and Vietnam were previously thought to have been largely unaffected by human presence, evidence suggests otherwise, researchers from Queen's University Belfast reported Friday.

A study of pollen samples across the three islands and the Southeast Asian mainland revealed a pattern of repeated disturbance of vegetation since the end of the last ice age, approximately 11,000 years ago, Queen's palaeoecologist Chris Hunt said.

"It has long been believed that the rainforests of the Far East were virgin wildernesses, where human impact has been minimal. Our findings, however, indicate a history of disturbances to vegetation," he said. "While it could be tempting to blame these disturbances on climate change, that is not the case as they do not coincide with any known periods of climate change. Rather, these vegetation changes have been brought about by the actions of people."

Because traditional archaeological methods of locating and excavating sites are extremely difficult in dense forests, evidence of human activity in rainforests is extremely difficult to find, he said, but pollen samples and a major review of existing palaeoecology research suggest human activities.

"There is evidence that humans in the Kelabit Highlands of Borneo burned fires to clear the land for planting food-bearing plants," Hunt said. "Pollen samples from around 6,500 years ago contain abundant charcoal, indicating the occurrence of fire."

While naturally occurring fires would usually be followed by specific weeds and trees that flourish in charred ground, evidence shows many fires were followed by the growth of fruit trees, suggesting people intentionally cleared forest vegetation and planted sources of food in its place, he said.

"Global infrastructure funding gap to widen, to $500.000.000.000/year by 2030 –study - EN/S&P - Jan 24, 2014

- Natalie Greve -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/global-infrastructure-fund…

"While the gap between global infrastructure investment needs and available public sector funds could reach $500-billion a year between now and 2030, institutional investors will likely increase their allocations to assist in filling the margin left by governments and banks, new analysis by Standard & Poor's (S&P’s) Ratings Services has revealed.

According to a study by the financial services firm entitled ‘Global Infrastructure: How To Fill A $500-Billion Hole’, the funding needs for infrastructure around the world would be over $3-trillion a year over the next 16 years.

However, capital investment by governments in the US and Europe had dropped from about 3% to 2% of gross domestic product since 2009, leaving a gaping hole in funds that were required to pay for economically vital transport, power and water projects.

S&P maintained that this left an opportunity for investment institutions such as insurance companies and pension funds to “fill the breach”.

The report estimated that investors' allocations to infrastructure worldwide could rise to an average of about 4% of assets under management over the next five years – more than double its current level.

“This could potentially provide about $200-billion a year in additional funding for the sector. Alongside a continuation in bank lending at today's levels of about $300-billion a year, these new inflows from the private sector could fill the void left by government budget reductions,” stated the study.

It further noted that some institutional investors, principally pension funds, had already raised their target allocations to the infrastructure sector to between 3% and 8% of their assets under management.

“We expect other institutions to also increase their commitments, attracted by the match these assets can offer against their long-term liabilities and the higher yields available on infrastructure debt,” said S&P.

The creditworthiness of infrastructure debt, as measured by S&P’s default and recovery rates, was also relatively strong, with the firm expecting this to continue.

The average yearly default rate for all project finance debt rated by S&P was 1.5% – slightly below the 1.8% default rate for corporate debt issuers in the same period.

Lead author of the study and S&P project finance ratings MD Michael Wilkins added that the need for infrastructure investment worldwide was “massive”.

“The attractions of the asset class are clear and the appetite of investors for infrastructure assets is growing. All that is needed for more institutions to get involved are the right conditions and incentives,” he maintained.

Wilkins believed measures that would encourage fund managers to invest in infrastructure debt included a clearer pipeline of projects, more standardisation of deal structures, policy stability and better information about the performance of projects at their various stages.

“Prudential regulation needs to be carefully calibrated too in order to avoid raising unintended barriers to infrastructure investment," he noted.

In Europe, for example, risk capital charges proposed for insurance companies under Solvency 2, scheduled to take effect in 2016, may discourage insurers from providing infrastructure financing, as it could penalise them for holding long-dated, low- to mid-investment grade project debt. "

KZN ‘Green Street’ offers valuable grassroots green-building insight - EN/GBCSA - Jan 24, 2014

- Sashnee Moodley -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/kzn-green-street-offers-va…

"The Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) believes the success of its Cato Manor Green Street Project, in KwaZulu-Natal, and the lessons learnt from the project can strengthen the green building movement in South Africa, and it hopes that these practices will soon become the norm.

GBCSA special projects manager Sarah Rushmere says the building industry has started embracing this absolutely necessary shift towards sustainable practices.

The first phase of the Cato Manor Green Street Project, comprising a green retrofit of 30 low-cost houses in a small cul-de-sac road, was completed in 2011 ahead of the COP17 international climate change talks, with its main funding from the British High Commission.

The retrofitting of an additional 26 houses was completed after COP17 and was funded by the Australian government and the Australian Agency for International Development.

The project, the first of its kind in KwaZulu-Natal, aims to highlight the benefits of resource-efficient interventions in low-income houses and to improve the quality of life for residents, while maintaining the country’s development towards a low-carbon footprint.

The street has been named ‘Isimosezulu COP17 Place’ by residents, who currently save up to 27% in electricity costs as a result of the project – isimosezulu translates into ‘climate’ in English.
“It was the first comprehensive green-street retrofit in a low-income housing area in South Africa. We wanted to demonstrate how greener houses could contribute to a better quality of life and we have achieved this,” says Rushmere.


BIG SAVINGS

She estimates that if similar retrofits were undertaken for the country’s existing three-million low-cost houses, residents’ electricity and water savings alone would total about R3-billion a year at current tariffs.

She adds that the money savings accrued could be retained in the local economy. Electricity savings could be more than 3 400 GWh – equivalent to a third of what a city the size of Durban or Cape Town uses.

The electricity savings would amount to the reduction of about 3.45-million tons of carbon dioxide, which would subsequently reduce the country’s carbon footprint. To generate revenue on international carbon markets, almost ten-million tons of carbon credits are possible. In terms of employment, it is estimated that about 36.5-million person days of work could be created, which is equiva- lent to more than 165 000 years of work.

Solar water heaters and related plumbing were installed for the project to deliver hot water to the homes for the first time. Internal comfort levels were improved by installing insulated ceilings in all homes and using insulation roof paint, as well as ventilation methods that were tested on some houses.

Heat-insulation cookers, called Wonderbags, are used to reduce cooking time when other heat sources, such as electrical stoves and wood fires, are used. Efficient indoor lighting – compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulbs – in the case of the project, replaced energy-consuming incandescent bulbs.

To improve security, a light was installed over the front door of the houses in question and inefficient streetlight fittings were replaced with light-emitting diode streetlights in the area.

Energy efficiency interventions are often less expensive to implement than running the country’s power plants. This project’s cost- benefit analysis has shown that the cost of installing and using CFLs, heat-insulation cookers and insulated ceilings is typically lower than the average cost of generating electricity.

Rainwater harvesting tanks are providing water security in times of drought or municipal water shortage, as well as free water for food gardens and laundry. Food gardens are producing nutritious, locally grown food, while the clean-up and rehabilitation of a nearby stream reinforces the river bank and reduces water pollution.

Landscaping, incorporating indigenous trees and plants, as well as fruit trees, is used to prevent soil erosion; the trees provide shade and are bearing fruit for the community.


LESSONS LEARNT

Rushmere notes that raising finance through the sale of reduced carbon emissions is possible; however, funding is limited in the current carbon market. Further, an important aim of the project is to plough such revenues back into the community for maintenance and/or development projects.

Active stakeholder engagement is required for retrofits and community engagement, in particular, is a timely process, as it requires working through local political structures.

Community briefing and training sessions need to be staggered over time and social cohesion is essential for community ownership and the ongoing maintenance of interventions, which have collective benefits.
In terms of technical aspects, the measurement of energy savings is difficult in a low- income context. For example, many low-income households use less electricity than they need to or would like to because they simply cannot afford to pay for more electricity.

The financial savings gained from energy efficient measures are often used to buy electricity for other household needs so consumption does not necessarily decrease, ; however, the value of the electrical services increases and quality of life improves.

“This is called the ‘rebound effect’ or ‘suppressed demand’. It also cannot be assumed that residents of a low-cost house are the only electricity users linked to that household meter. Many provide electricity for or sell it to informal structures built onto the house or informal housing nearby; there are also cases of theft. Irregular power supply and sales and consumption data are also problema- tic factors,” says Rushmere.

Impact measurement needs to be set up in advance and for the long term – for at least a year after installation.
Further, insulated ceilings in subtropical climates, such as Durban, tend to trap the heat that has accumulated during the day, unless there is effective ventilation and sufficient levels of radiant heat moderation.
Low-cost houses are typically not equipped with guttering, or are not built to make gutter retrofits simple for rainwater harvesting purposes. Poor-quality roofing can pose a significant hazard, particularly when installing solar water heaters.

Roof leaks need to be repaired before insulated ceilings are installed to prevent leakage of rainwater that can cause electrical shorts in light fittings.

“While the project was timed and implemented specifically to coincide with COP17, it continues to draw visitors. In the first few months, a broad spectrum of local and inter- national organisations visited the site and their impressions of the project have been overwhelmingly positive,” Rushmere states.

The project has also received local recognition, with the GBCSA having been named in December as the winner in the Community Category for the Eskom eta Awards for the Cato Manor venture. The judges noted that, in addition to the improved quality of life for the residents, “these households have saved up to 27% on their electricity costs”.

Government is also reportedly paying attention, having already confirmed that it is planning to pursue policies that promote the so-called ‘green economy’ and that will have far-reaching benefits for the country and its people.

Further, important lessons from this project have been recorded and are being used to make important policy recommendations for the construction of new homes, the retrofitting of existing houses and the scaling up of key interventions.

She advises that ceiling retrofits of the roughly three-million existing low-cost houses should be strongly considered as a national investment priority, as they are more financially beneficial than the cost of generating electricity, even in subtropical areas where the winter-heating energy savings are lowest. This also applies to the provision of heat insulation cookers and efficient lighting.

Meanwhile, there is also great potential for skills transfer and sustainable employment creation in new build and retrofit programmes. Particular focus in the area of sustainable business development and support through the Construction Sector Education and Training Authority, further education and training colleges and the private sector’s corporate social investment programmes would also be beneficial.

“Significant employment opportunities can be realised through the growth of businesses in the areas of ceiling and solar water heater installation and maintenance. Food gardens in the water-rich KwaZulu-Natal area are also a viable business proposition, as are recycling businesses. The avenues to align the opportunities of these areas with national programmes, such as the Department of Energy’s Working for Energy programme, should be explored,” Rushmere states. "

Pressure BioSciences " "expected" to see profits in `15, says AMI Research" - PAI/AMIR - Jan 24, 2014

- Deborah Bacal -
www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/51503/pressure-bio…

"Pressure BioSciences (OTC:PBIO) is expected to become profitable in 2015, according to a report written this month from AMI Research, which chose the company as one of its five favourite stock names in the micro cap sector that offer the "most promise for growth in 2014".

The life sciences medical device company develops and commercializes pressure cycling technology (PCT)-based instruments and consumables. The platform technology cycles pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures to control the interactions of bio-molecules, with the technology also used for genomic, proteomic and small molecule sample preparation.

The company, according to AMI, is the only player it knows employing this patented technology, which delivers "quality, speed and reproducibility previously unavailable to the industry".

The research report lists several growth catalysts for the company this year, saying that last year's third quarter was an inflection point, when Pressure BioSciences achieved record quarterly total revenue, quarterly products and services revenue and an all-time high in quarterly consumable product sales.

The analysts said they expect the fourth quarter to be the fourth straight quarter that total revenue exceeds the prior year period, with estimated total revenue of $0.27 million.

AMI wrote the highlights for the company still remain the leveraging of "two recent breakthroughs", with the research firm referring in one instance to the announcement in June of its ability to process high throughput multi-well plate formats, which will integrate with current laboratories. This means it can focus on labs that need devices able to host multiple samples, simultaneously, whereas up until now, PCT was used for the analysis of only one sample at a time.

In addition, in another potentially significant breakthrough, the company revealed independent studies from Harvard University showing its PCT technology can offer a "non-invasive" approach to lipid analysis in the gastrointestinal track. The method uses PCT and certain chemicals to extract intact lipids from fecal material, getting information about what is happening in the GI system, which has a direct relation to a number of diseases such as colon cancer and IBD.

"Both breakthroughs are win-wins for PBIO and have the potential to transform PBIO’s operations. We expect to have a revenue-producing product before the end of 2H:14," wrote AMI.

Indeed, the research analysts predict total revenue to grow at a four-year CAGR of 37%, and expect $1.4 million, $2.4 million and $3.5 million in 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively.

They also took note of the company's broad customer base, including academic laboratories, government agencies, and biotech, pharma and other life science companies in the U.S. It also has agreements with over 11 distributors worldwide, up from three in 2011. There are over 140 customers who have purchased or leased the PCT platform.

"In our opinion, the sharp increase in outreach supports management’s commercialization initiative and reinforces our estimates," AMI said.

AMI is modelling profitability for Pressure BioSciences in 2015, expecting 44% top-line growth over 2014's $2.4 million estimate, as commercialization efforts begin to shift the company out of development-stage to the beginnings of a "true global player". Specifically, the analysts anticipate operating expenses to begin to level off during the second half of 2015, resulting in profitability during the fourth quarter of next year.

The other four micro cap names in AMI's report include NeoGenomics (NASDAQ:NEO), ADvanced Medical Isotope (OTC:ADMD), Net Medical Express (OTC:NMXS) and Exactech (NASDAQ:EXAC).

"Many of our choices are undervalued relative to their peers comparing a variety of metrics such as p/e, p/s, ev/ebitda, etc. Some stock picks have returned to our list from last year, as we continue to expect strong stock appreciation," AMI wrote.

Pressure BioSciences is trading at 26 cents currently on the OTC markets.

'BIG PICTURE' -"Revolution part of StatPro's evolution" - PAI - Jan 23, 2014

- By Ian Lyall -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/65138/big-pictur…

"The cloud: two words used to explain one concept that is utterly transforming the way business interacts with technology.

At its simplest it is a means of accessing data, software or a virtual server remotely, usually via the internet.

Practically, it allows companies to provide their software as a service, which makes it cheaper and easier to deliver.

And in many cases it means businesses can charge an annual or monthly subscription rather than taking a one-off fee.

The ease of use and the access to updates make the cloud a winner for the customer too.

The problem with the cloud is not with the concept, but the misuse of the term to ramp the value of companies.

You see, being in the cloud used to mean an instant premium to your peers.

The more cynical investors now work on the basis that those who shout loudest about their cloudy credentials tend to have the least to say.

This is why it is pleasing to see that StatPro Group (LON:SOG) is quietly going about its transformation – and allowing others to judge its potential.

The Wimbledon-based company is the creator of sophisticated software used to monitor performance in fund management.

It was one of the first companies on AIM to spot the challenge posed by the cloud to its traditional business, but also the opportunity.

Its StatPro Revolution product reveals the financial benefits of grabbing that opportunity with both hands.

The company revealed earlier today (Thursday) that Revolution’s related recurring revenue was £9.2mln in 2013, or 36% of total software recurring revenue.

That compares with £3.9mln, or 16% the year earlier, demonstrating the traction this unique product is gaining.

Chief executive Justin Wheatley told investors: "The unique value proposition of StatPro Revolution is its ability to share vital portfolio analysis for no additional charge.

“This is helping our clients sell more and give their clients a better service, all for less money.

“Whilst the asset management industry is generally quite conservative, it is clear that many companies are getting the message that StatPro Revolution really is a revolution.”

StatPro’s R+, the replacement for StatPro Seven, moves all its products to the cloud.

R+ progressed into its second beta phase in November, putting it on target for commercial launch towards the end of this year, according to City firm Edison.

Analysts believe Revolution and R+ could reshape the way performance is monitored by asset managers.

They reckon R+ will perform the heavy lifting and automate workflow by importing data and then checking, validating and exporting it. This may also allow clients to refocus teams on performance oversight.

Essentially, R+ will allow clients to reduce the size of performance teams to a limited number of senior measurers acting in a supervisory capacity. Eventually it may even promote the outsourcing of the function.

As the business transforms, so StatPro is adding to its sales team. It now numbers 33 after 13 people graduated from its training programme last year, it said today.

The investment in new talent, allied to the strength of sterling (80% of sales are made outside the UK), has prompted City broker Panmure to tweak its forecasts for the current year slightly. It is predicting sales of £31.9mln and adjusted underlying earnings (EBITDA) of £4.8mln.

However, analyst Adam Lawson continues to rate StatPro shares a ‘buy’ with a 119p price target, giving the stock 40% headroom to grow.

In his brief note this morning, titled ‘Still Cloudy, But Plenty of Sunshine’, he observed: “While it is still too early to determine how the endgame of the cloud transition strategy will play out, underlying performance indicators continue to head in the right direction.”

Oldest living cancer, found in dogs, said to date back 11.000 years - SH/UPI/WTSI, CAMBRIDGE - Jan 25, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/01/24/oldest-liv…

"The world's oldest-known living cancer, which arose in a single dog and has survived in canines ever since, is 11,000 years old, British scientists say.

Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge decoded the DNA of the cancer, which does not die when its host dies because live cancer cells can pass between the animals when they mate.

The genome of the 11,000-year-old cancer carries about 2 million mutations, many more than the 1,000 to 5,000 mutations found in most human cancers, an institute release said Friday.

"The genome of this remarkable long-lived cancer has demonstrated that, given the right conditions, cancers can continue to survive for more than 10,000 years despite the accumulation of millions of mutations," researcher Elizabeth Murchison said.

The genome of the transmissible dog cancer still harbors the genetic variants of the individual dog that first gave rise to it, the researchers said, and analysis suggests it may have resembled an Alaskan Malamute or Husky.

"We do not know why this particular individual gave rise to a transmissible cancer," Murchison said, "but it is fascinating to look back in time and reconstruct the identity of this ancient dog whose genome is still alive today in the cells of the cancer that it spawned."

Transmissible cancers are extremely rare in nature, the researchers said, as it is unusual for cancer cells to leave the bodies of their original hosts and to spread to other individuals.

"The genome of the transmissible dog cancer will help us to understand the processes that allow cancers to become transmissible," senior study author Mike Stratton said. "Although transmissible cancers are very rare, we should be prepared in case such a disease emerged in humans or other animals." "

Waste Facility "to Triple the Amount, of Trash Recycled" - CT/ENN, ARIZONA - Jan 24, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/01/24/waste-facility-to-tr…

"A new plant in Glendale, Arizona promises to triple the amount of trash the city recycles each year when it begins operations in April. The facility, which is being built by Chicago-based company, Vieste, will be located on 6 acres of Glendale’s landfill, just a few miles west of the University of Phoenix stadium.

About two-thirds of the city’s waste will be diverted to Vieste’s facility where it will be sorted to find recyclables. The company’s 40 to 50 employees will help sift through the piles of trash to find small recyclables such as plastic or glass. A large magnet will help pull metal objects from the garbage and screens will help sort through paper products. The building, which spans the size of three basketball courts, will also have ample room to sort through large recyclables and cardboard.

Through its efforts, Vieste expects to recover 26,000 tons of recyclable products each year, which is more than double what the city recycles. Currently, Glendale only recycles items that residents place in recycling bins, which amounts to about 12,000 tons of materials each year.

In addition to the positive environmental impact of diverting recyclable material from the landfill, the plant should be financially beneficial for both Vieste and the city. Vieste has signed a 30-year agreement to pay $100,000 per year to lease its space at the city’s landfill. In addition, the company has to pay the city $476,000 in management costs in the first year, with a price increase of 0.5 percent every year.

But Vieste stands to make a nice profit too. The city of Glendale has agreed to sell any recycled materials salvaged by Vieste at a guaranteed price of almost 7 cents per pound. Based on Vieste’s expectation for the amount of materials it can retrieve, the company stands to make more than $3.6 million each year.

In the future, Vieste plans to deploy a pyrolytic gasification process at its facility. The technology, purchased from the Hoskinson Group, will allow the plant to turn trash into electricity. With pyrolytic gasification Vieste will be able to place trash in an oxygen-deprived chamber to cook at temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooking process then creates steam and gas that can be converted into energy.

Once the company has found someone to purchase its energy supply, it will start generating electricity. According to the Hoskinson Group, Vieste should be able to process up to 800 tons of trash each day and at maximum capacity, the facility could generate up to 54 MW of clean electricity.

1st Solar "unveils diesel-replacement strategy, for African mines" - MW/CMR - Jan 24, 2014

- T. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/solar-group-to-use-balance-shee…

" Thin-film solar company First Solar is aggressively pursuing build operate and own (BOO) fuel-replacement projects in the global resources sector and is offering miners the prospect of displacing diesel through the use of increasingly cost-competitive solar energy.

The Nasdaq-listed group recently appointed an executive with the specific mandate of promoting these hybrid solutions and also confirmed that its $1-billion-strong balance sheet could be leveraged in support of the strategy.

Fuel replacement solutions director John Eccles, who is based in Australia and who will be marketing the concept at the Mining Indaba, in Cape Town, reported that advanced discussions were already under way with multinational mining groups, with particularly strong interest being shown in Australia and Africa, including mining-heavy, but power-light South Africa.

In an interview on the sidelines of the World Future Energy Summit, held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Eccles said each project would be tailored to the mine’s specific power-load profile, as well as its expected life.

“It’s a commercial proposition whereby we take on the risk, which will ensure that the plant is not so small that it is being fully utilised, but not so large so that half of the asset is not being used. In fact, design optimisation is the first critical step with hybrid applications, even more so than with utility-scale projects,” Eccles outlined.


COST COMPETITIVE?

While variable in nature, the solar-hybrid offering has become viable mainly as a result of a material decline in the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities over the past five years.

Internal First Solar figures show that the levellised cost of electricity (LCOE) from its facilities currently stands at between $70/MWh and $150/MWh, making them comparable, or cheaper, than conventional power plants ¬– the LCOE being the total cost of ownership over a plant’s life.

By way of illustrating this emerging cost competitiveness, the group, which is the largest solar-panel manufacturer in the US, started building a 22 MW plant in west Texas earlier this year in the absence of a power purchase agreement with a utility. Instead, the Barilla solar project in Pecos County, which would become operational by mid-2014, would bid its output into the State’s deregulated market.

The specific value proposition in the mining sector, however, was the to introduce plants whose primary goal would be to secure supply over the life-of-mine, while reducing costs associated with diesel consumption.

In South Africa, such BOO projects would be pursued in parallel with ongoing work to position the company as a technology partner for any upcoming bidding rounds for additional solar PV capacity to be procured by the Department of Energy, Cape Town-based business development manager Laura Luckhurst added.


LOCAL CONTENT

The group, which has an installed base of 8 GW globally, had not participated in the first three bidding rounds under South Africa's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, but was nevertheless paying close attention to the market.

Chief commercial officer Joe Kishkill said he expected South Africa’s solar PV market to emerge as the region’s single largest, with an installed capacity of 2.5 GW by 2017. For this reason, various localisation options were under review, owing to the high priority being given to local content in the South African adjudication process.

First Solar modules are currently made at factories in the US and Malaysia, but Kishkill said it was constantly assessing the trade-off between lower production costs and market access. He also stressed that, while the actual panels previously represented around 50% of the costs associated with a solar farm, the figure had fallen to between 25% and 30%. Attention was, therefore, also being given to the ‘balance of plant’ localisation options.

The group’s cadmium telluride (CdTe) solution would be particularly suitable to South Africa's high-temperature operating conditions, Luckhurst averred, noting that the module’s efficiencies were less sensitive to higher temperatures than was the case with the better-known crystalline-silicon modules.

During an exposure tour to the DEWA 13 solar facility, in Seih Al Dahal, about 50 km south of Dubai, in the UAE, director of projects Matthew Merfert indicated that high levels of plant performance were still being demonstrated even when ambient temperatures rose to above the 40 °C level and when panel temperature rose to well above 60 °C.

The 13 MW plant is currently the largest PV power facility in the region, covering an area of 238 764 m2, or the equivalent of around 33 football pitches.

Managed and operated by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, or DEWA, it is also the first operating facility on an area of 'desert pavement' earmarked for the proposed 1 000 MW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, named after Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE.

Completed in less than 30 weeks the plant comprises 152 880 CdTe PV modules, which were expected to generate about 24-million kilowatt-hours a year.

Any future BOO projects in the mining sector would incorporate the thin-film CdTe modules, into which First Solar had invested significant research and development (R&D) capital since the late John Walton, of the Walton family that founded Wal-Mart, made a significant investment in the company in 1999. That R&D effort was focused, global public affairs VP Maja Wessels outlined, on “cost reduction”, which remained the core thrust to this day.

Technology sales manager Nick Strevel added that the performance of the CdTe modules at high temperatures had emerged as a key competitive advantage, despite the continued dominance of crystalline-silicon modules globally. In high temperature and high humidity climates, plant’s using the thin-film solution reportedly produce up to 9% more energy yearly than competing plants with the same nameplate capacity.

The company is also optimistic that there is “significant headroom” to improve on that performance and to lower plant cost on a LOCE basis. And given the high-temperature environment in which many mines in Africa operate, First Solar was hopeful that its customised offering would prove popular.

“It's a new field globally and is being driven by the fact that, over the past five years, PV solar power prices have halved, while diesel fuel costs have generally increased. Over the past 12 months changes to those critical parameters have made hybrids viable,” Eccles concluded.

Ghana puts planned mining windfall tax on hold: finance minister - MW/R, ACRRA - Jan 24, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/ghana-has-put-planned-mining-wi…

"Ghana has put on hold plans to introduce a windfall tax on mining profits, Finance Minister Seth Terkper told Reuters, comments that will delight struggling gold firms but could undermine efforts to reduce the country's budget deficit.

"It's on hold in Parliament and we are consulting," Terkper told Reuters late on Thursday. He had told Parliament during the annual budget in November that government would impose the tax. No timeframe was given at the time.

Ghana is Africa's second biggest gold producer and the decision comes after pressure from mining companies who said any additional tax would lead to job losses in an industry hard-hit by a steep fall in global gold prices in 2013. "

"@the Crossroads, of Japan’s Energy Future" - OP - Jan 24, 2014

- James Stafford -
http://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/Asia/This-Week-in-Energy-At-…

"Japan’s 9 February gubernatorial elections are being billed largely as a referendum on the fate of the country’s nuclear energy future—an election that will shape the debate on whether Japan should continue its reliance on nuclear energy, at least for the next two decades.

The gubernatorial elections come as Abe administration is hoping to restart some nuclear pow,er plants once the Nuclear Regulation Authority confirms that they are safe. Challenging this plan is an alliance between former prime minister Morihiro Hosokawa and former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi, who are pushing an influential zero nuclear platform.

As such, and in this post-Fukushima environment, the nuclear issue has almost entirely hijacked the campaign, particularly for the Tokyo gubernatorial race, and the Abe administration is struggling to restore balance. As the administration would point out, other issues ranging from social welfare, employment, earthquake preparedness and the 2020 Olympic Games require much more campaign attention than they are getting at present.

The zero-nuclear position attributed to some 40% of Japan’s population is certainly understandable after Fukushima; nonetheless, the timing is simply not right. While great strides towards alternative energy resources are being made in Japan perhaps more than anywhere else in the world, just building the necessary infrastructure to supply a zero-nuclear power grid will take years, if not decades.

We have closely and with great interest followed Japan’s progress at nuclear alternatives, from the hungry momentum for expensive LNG imports to exploration for “fire ice”, among myriad renewable energy resources.

Liquefied natural gas has in the interim replaced nuclear energy as Japan’s primary source of power, driving up prices and inflating the country’s fuel bill significantly.

Japan purchased a record 87.3 million metric tons of LNG in 2012 for a whopping $57.5 billion, which is double what it paid in 2011, Bloomberg reports, citing Japanese customs data. The news agency also notes that Japan’s current-account deficit in November was the biggest in comparable data back to 1985.

“There is no doubt the nuclear shutdown is damaging the Japanese economy,” said Akira Yanagisawa, a Tokyo-based researcher at the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan, who predicts 16 units will restart. “Japan’s national wealth has been outflowing to countries that produce oil and natural gas.”

This, too, should be a key election issue as we near 9 February.

It is also important to note that the while the Abe administration seems to be portrayed in the media in a black-and-white manner of pro-nuclear, there is more to this story below the surface. The intent is not to see that Japan is reliant on nuclear power in the long term, or even in the medium term. What the administration recognizes is that in the immediate- and short-term, Japan still needs nuclear; its economy needs nuclear, and the next time around it will be safer and more secure.

As reported by The Japan Times, the Abe administration is now considering revising its draft energy policy to avoid potential misunderstandings about the country’s nuclear future. The draft energy policy is not intended to suggest that Japan will rely heavily on nuclear power in the medium to long term. In fact, the draft policy explicitly calls for reducing nuclear dependence as much as possible.

The administration is presently putting the final touches on this draft energy policy—the first since the Fukushima disaster of 2011. "

Solar power "transforms urban +rural life" - EN - Jan 25, 2014

- Jonathan Rodin, Megan Wait -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/solar-power-transforms-urb…

"Lighting specialist Philips reports that it has achieved a “breakthrough” in developing its light-emitting diode (LED) solar-powered road, street and area lighting.

“The LED lighting offers reliable, efficient and cost-effective lighting solutions for each kilometre of road. It has the potential to transform lives in urban and rural areas where there is no access to the electricity grid or where the grid is unreliable,” says Philips account manager for solar road, street and outdoor Jonathan Baer.

Light use accounts for 20% to 40% of power consumption, but renewable energy, particularly solar energy, can potentially reduce power consumption by 80%, says Philips Lighting Africa GM Andre Dehmel.

Baer explains that solar power is cre- ated by converting solar energy into electrical energy while the sun shines during the day. The batteries of the solar system store the electrical energy so that it can be discharged at night to power LED luminaires, which, in turn, provides lighting for the roads.

He notes that LED and solar technologies offer cost and performance opportunities that were previously unachievable. “As a result, the total cost of ownership of our solar-powered LED lighting solutions can be significantly lower than a comparable grid-based solution.”

There are cost benefits, such as lower running costs and higher uptime, in areas where there is an unstable electricity network, and where there is no electricity, says Baer.

Further, the solution does not require the installation of an electricity grid, which is the significant cost driver, he adds, highlighting that it contributes further to the cost effectiveness of the company’s solar-powered LED lighting solution.

In 2012, the Independent Development Trust (IDT) released research findings on the wide-scale use of solar-powered lighting in a rural community, which shows that using this type of lighting offers several benefits, including an enhanced sense of safety and significant cost and time savings, which enables more school homework to be completed by children.

Philips partnered with the IDT for the research project, which formed a part of Philips’ Light Centre project in Africa, which is in its third year. The inititative com- prises lighting projects in rural or unlit areas of Africa, where each project area of 1 000 m2 – the size of a small soccer pitch – is lit with a new generation of solar-powered LED lighting systems, based on fixed eight-metre poles. These will be located at schools, community centres and clinics that are closely linked to communities in rural off-grid or urban semi-grid areas.

These LED lights were implemented at six sites in South Africa, including Cape Town, Ladysmith and Mpumalanga.

“Light Centres will create communal areas, which can be used for sport, healthcare clinics, education and evening classes, social events and commercial activities,” says Baer. "

Zimbabwe "leads , with solar toll gates" - EN - Jan 24, 2014

- Megan Wait -
www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/zimbabwe-leads-the-world-i…

"While South African taxpayers are crying foul over government’s failure to explore all funding options available to its e-tolling scheme on the roads of Gauteng, Zimbabwe raced ahead to lead the world with the first installation of solar-powered tollgates last year, photovoltaic products manufacturer SolarWorld Africa MD Gregor Küpper says.

The solar power initiative falls within the country’s plan to upgrade its road transport services as part of an overall infrastructure improvement plan.

Küpper notes: “A SolarWorld Africa distributor was granted a contract in 2013 to install 750 kWp of solar power at the 22 new tollgates in this electricity-strapped country, which has one of the highest road densities in Africa.”

Each rooftop installation, at each tollgate, is powered by 34 kWp systems, inverter technology, one 3 200 Ampere-hour battery bank and a 50 kVA backup generator.
“Each remotely located site took seven days to install. They are monitored with monitoring technology through the Global System for Mobile communications network and are recorded as the first solar-powered tollgates in the world,” explains Küpper.

Zimbabwe takes it domestic electricity generation from coal, hydropower and thermal power plants, which supply about 1.2 GW of electricity to the country, which requires 2.2 GW. Additional power is imported from Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia.

Over the past decade, Zimbabwe has experienced drastic load-shedding, which on some days has meant outages of up to ten hours.

“We believe that the use of solar power systems could help alleviate the instability that has affected people’s quality of life, business and industrial development. An efficient and viable power sector will assist economic stability and growth, given its linkages with the rest of the economy and within the Southern African Development Community – which will have a direct bearing on the national income.” "

Nano Labs Report to Shareholders - Apr 26, 2013
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2013/04/26/nano-labs-…

"Dear Shareholders,

We continue to follow our core strategy of developing a diversified investment of nanotechnologies for our shareholders in Nano Labs.

Our core strategy is founded on four main ideals: first, identify and prioritize the obvious problems that we face in the world today; second, to concentrate our resources on developing our proprietary nano technology to evolve common products into new, revolutionary products in order to solve these problems; third, to leverage our international business contacts and networks to introduce these novel solutions to existing problems; and fourth, to work with strategic partners on commercializing these high-value solutions being brought to market in a timely fashion. We're confident that we will continue to create value for our shareholders by executing this core strategy.

Our teams of scientists, designers, and engineers remain focused on creating a portfolio of advanced products that will provide benefits to a variety of industries including: (i) consumer products, (ii) energy, (iii) materials, and (iv) healthcare. We are continuing to create products in these industries to provide us the ability to generate revenues from different market sectors, and our hard work we believe is close to yielding significant results.

We have had many exciting highlights this year to date and I would like to take a moment and share my insights on these with you.


"Strong Partnerships"

Our important partnerships are a testament to our core strategy. Most notably, we are extremely pleased with the advances in our partnership with CIATEQ. They have proven to be a key cornerstone in our company development. We have made exciting progress in creating solutions, prototypes and testing of several new products in the nano medicine, antiviral and pharma applications that we are excited to reveal in the near future. Testing products takes time, but every day we get closer. The upcoming quarter will be an exciting one. Of note, our marketing team has posted a CIATEQ video which is featured on the home page of our website, and I invite you to view it. Currently, we employ four full time employees at the CIATEQ facilities in Queretaro and twenty-one post grad employees under the direction of Dr. Castano working at CIATEQ and our universities facilities.

Dr. Castano's team is focused on all facets that keep our company moving forward. From research and development – preparing samples, measuring effects, and testing samples – to characterizing and producing our nano particles for our new nano products, and developing the commercial formulations of these products, to assisting in the development of the patents and IP protection. We continue to take full advantage of our diversified base of more than 500 peer-reviewed papers, products, and prototypes relating to energy and fuel, health and medicine, food and agriculture, and building and industrial materials. We are continuing to develop our intellectual property and patents – an important cornerstone of our business.

We are pleased to report as well that we added two prestigious members to our Board of Advisors this quarter, Dr. Patrick Barnabe and Mr. Francis Mandy. They will soon be joined by four additional appointments we hope to announce in the coming weeks.


"Insightful Innovation"

We have continued to strengthen our international partnerships and working with BYR we have completed production of our first commercial line of NC2012, which we have branded nPaint. As our first product entry, the next-generation thermal insulation paint coating provides fire and heat protection at temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees Celsius. The nano thermal coating is resistant to corrosion, rust, water, and oxidization -- making it particularly durable, as does its capability of reflecting up to 82% of ultraviolet rays that, over time, can contribute to deterioration involving structural materials such as PVC. We have refined the development process making this product commercially and economically viable for use across all industry applications. As our first product entry, we believe it is commercially strong and diverse. Of particular note in hotter climates, the potential to reduce air-conditioning related costs by as much as 40% and offer temperate living conditions for those with no power is one of the biggest commercial drivers.

BYR has produced over 1,250 gallons for testing with a variety of international industry partners and distributors. We look forward to reporting in Q2 on these sales efforts. We strongly believe we have bright prospects for long-term international relationships with significant global brand licensing and distribution partners.

In parallel, we have initiated commercial advances into agriculture through our advanced LEDs for agricultural greenhouses. Our innovative "intelligent illumination system" for greenhouses, that works with commercial light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to reduce energy consumption and improve processes contributing to the growth of plant life in agricultural greenhouses. We strongly believe LEDs hold much promise for creating new technologies for the 21st century agriculture.

This coupled with our automated nanotechnology systems to control the dynamics of greenhouse (GH) CO2 gas for improved crop yields, reduced energy consumption, and decreased environmental hazards, shows significant improvements across the board for increased control efficiencies, crop yields, and energy savings for greenhouse farming and agriculture – a multibillion dollar industry in North America alone. Moving forward in 2013 we believe shareholders can look forward to exciting reports as we move ahead licensing the production and distribution of this technology.

We are continuing to develop relationships and pursue strategic partnerships focusing on promoting the commercial development of our synthetic diamonds nanotechnology. As a very low cost and environmentally safe alternative to current synthetic diamond production, used in traditional industrial applications, we believe we are close to announcing a partner for the global marketplace.

Dr. Castano has traveled to 4 countries over the past 3 months, participating in numerous, notable nanotechnology conferences around the world. These conferences have introduced our management team to other international experts and novel applications of nanotechnology, and more importantly allowed us to meet international businesses and strategic partners looking to help commercialize new nanotechnologies in their respective fields.

We promise to continue to update our shareholders, to industry, to government. In this manner, we are updating our website and hope to launch a new site with a suite of tools that will allow us to communicate our new products and update the industry and shareholders alike. We are excited to showcase this in the coming weeks.

Nanotechnology no longer promises to change the world – the change is right now in progress . And I am delighted that we as shareholders of Nano Labs are all aboard a ship headed for what we believe could be profitable and beneficial horizons.

We believe the world is looking at a sea of change in innovative nanotechnology, with research pointing to the prospect of $2.6 trillion in global revenues for the sector – representing 15 per cent of all projected global manufacturing by 2014. These revenues contrast with $13 billion in 2004. That, in our estimation, is phenomenal growth.

We here at Nano Labs believe that we are at the forefront of an exciting age. In my estimation, we are riding the crest of a wave of such a significant impact that it effectively amounts to a new American industrial revolution.

We are working to create products and materials that come with the satisfying investment benefit of making our industries stronger, our economies healthier, and our environment safer. Indeed, it's amazing what science and industry are now capable of achieving through the modification and manipulation of matter at molecular and atomic scales.

Respectfully on behalf of the Board,

Mr. Bernardo Camacho Chavarria

President, Nano Labs

Nano Labs "Announces a 'Greener Approach in Clothes Softeners', That Provide Lasting Freshness "; Nanotechnology "Presents Innovative, Cost-Effective +Environmentally Friendly Approach to Long-Lasting Freshness"; Fabric softeners are short-term chemical solutions that provide clothes, fabrics +textiles, during the washing +rinsing cycles, with the benefits of "smooth feeling" +"fresh scent". One of the reasons(among other technical issues) for the short-term effects of these benefits is the cost of the active ingredients. Typically the cost of these active ingredients in the chemical solution is very expensive, so the concentrations offered are low +therefore the effect less noticeable. Our technology "makes use of nanoparticles that "trap +hold " the softener's active ingredients, +then release them in a controlled manner ." The "result is a longer-lasting effect, with less of the active chemicals required." The greater effect +cost benefits "make this an innovative +economically effective technology."; Dr. Castano: "Fresh scent in fabric softeners is a very important characteristics of these consumer products. It "provides the essence of freshness -like your clothes were just cleaned ." The problem with the current technologies, however, is that scent is a very short-term effect -a few days @most +then it disappears. The problem with increasing the concentration of scent, which would seem a logical alternative, is both in the added cost +expensive of these active ingredients +the problem of inducing allergic reactions with sensitive individuals. Our solution "is based on nanoparticle technology that controls the release of the scent, allowing the benefit of several weeks of the desired fresh effect +@lower concentrations of active materials in a water soluble +safe substance." This makes it both a cost-effective +an environmentally, greener friendly approach."; Mr. Bernardo Chavarria: "From a business perspective we are an innovation company balancing the needs of today's businesses +consumers. Businesses are looking for innovative ways to shrink costs, by using less active ingredients +grow their bottom line. Consumers are always looking for better products. We "are "focused" on providing both." Our "research in this category "indicates" that consumer's primary motivators are performance products, that offer added convenience +build strong value." In "an age of people switching to high-efficiency washers +time-release tablets, we think we can bring the added convenience of washing less while still controlling odors." According to a recent Nielsen study, total sales of laundry detergent were >$7.440.000.000 in the US alone last year. "Given that we can apply the same technology adapted to fragrance-free, we "believe" there is definitely a global market for this innovation" " - Jul 9, 2013

This is an extremely important point, because each one Octane Index upwards costs more money -just look @the pump price between 'Regular' +'Super.' To raise the Octane, the refineries have to perform certain petroleum cuts, add aromatics, in some places MTBE, +now even Anhydrous Ethyl Alcohol(AEA). This "gives you an idea of the value of your high Octane Index"."; Mr. Bernardo Camacho Chavarria: "We will continue to run tests against commercial grade gasoline in the market today. The ultimate tests run real comparisons of both fuels side-by-side. Looking @the preliminary evidence, we are highly encouraged. For the refineries, this could be an excellent idea, economically speaking, to use the NG as an Octane Index Booster, blending naphtha with the nano base by simply using standard circulation pumps. This is another area we will begin testing immediately, starting with the basic low Octane Naphtha distillation cut +see how much we can raise the Octane Index.

Greenearth "has 'breakthrough' in CO2 to fuel technology" - AI - Jan 24, 2014
www.theaustralianinvestor.com.au

"Greenearth Energy (ASX: GER) is a diversified Australian renewable energy company that has shifted its focus on conventional geothermal resources, to concentrate on a potentially world changing technology that could convert CO2 into a fuel. The company also focuses on an industrial efficiency business that is beginning to see positive cash flows.
On Tuesday 14th January, Greenearth Energy announced that it had completed stage one testing of the proof of concept system for the NewCO2Fuels project in Israel (NCF). The reaction from the market underlined the potential of the technology, should it successfully navigate the pathway to a commercial product.

The share price soared 240 per cent in the final two hours of trade after the announcement that revealed a breakthrough in its solar powered, carbon dioxide to fuel technology.

In passing the Stage one testing, NCF has now demonstrated that the technology successfully and effectively, dissociates CO2 into CO and oxygen in a heating environment.

The CO, or the mixture of CO and H2 (called Syngas) can be used as a gaseous fuel (for example in power plants), or converted to liquid fuel (such as methanol or other transportation fuels like diesel), which has the potential to be stored, transported and used in motor vehicles. The oxygen produced can be used in the combustion of the clean fuel, or elsewhere.

Managing Director of Greenearth Energy, Samuel Marks, excited the market stating, “this now proven concept has the potential to create, quite literally, a paradigm shift in the way society views and deals with our global CO2 challenges.”

In speaking with The Australian Investor, Mr Marks admitted it was “a lofty statement”, but one worthy of the potential of the technology.

“Whether there is a tax on CO2 or not, there seems to be very little question that it is something that scientists, politicians and the general population, doesn’t want to see omitted into the atmosphere.

“This process utilises captured CO2, that is effectively a waste product and uses it as feedstock.”

The system is based on a technology previously developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and exclusively licensed to NCF.

Greenearth Energy became involved in NewCO2 Fuels in 2011 and secured an exclusive worldwide Research and License Agreement. The group's investment is represented by a 50 per cent ownership.

“The Weizmann Institute of Science is a fascinating institute made up of a scientific research arm and a commercialisation arm called Yeda.” says Mr Marks.

Over the next two months, the company says the stage two testing is on course to further establish the final proof of concept, which encompasses two additional targets - increasing the dissociation rate by a factor of 4, an 800 fold increase in the dissociating rate, and driving the system using a solar based heat source.

“Obviously by using solar it then becomes 100 per cent renewable,” he says.

“What is exciting about this stage is that the results we are seeing mean this could be financially and commercially viable, irrespective of a price on Carbon, at a level never seen anywhere in the world before.”

The Syngas produced from the process “which simplistically is like natural gas with a high calorific value” can be tuned into methanol or diesel fuel according to Mr Marks.

“So if you compare what is currently used for diesel fuel, which is petroleum based, there is a step change where we would no longer be using a fossil fuel. "

How "ants in space 'could' help researchers build a better robot "; A colony of ants arrived @the International Space Station this month. Researchers "are interested in how they react to microgravity, as robots 'could' use similar behavior; to better explore difficult places, such as a collapsed building" - GO/ISS/SU - Jan 24, 2014

- S. Brewster -
http://gigaom.com/2014/01/24/how-ants-in-space-could-help-re…
http://gigaom.com/2014/01/09/planet-labs-mini-satellites-tak…
http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/january/ants-in-space-011…

"On January 12, the International Space Station crew unloaded the recently-arrived Antares rocket, which contained precious cargo like food, spare parts and tiny satellites. Along for the ride was a colony of ants with a very unique purpose: to demonstrate how the ever-efficient insects adapt to life in microgravity.

If you’ve ever had an ant invasion in your home, you know this pattern: A single ant finds a source of nourishment and then turns into a milling mass of ants ferrying food back to the colony. Meanwhile, individual ants fan out to investigate the rest of the room.

These behaviors do not come from the queen or some other central force. Instead, they are built on innate algorithms that ants developed over millions of years, according to Stanford University. Ants have poor vision, so they rely on smell and touch for guidance while exploring. When the number of ants is more dense, they are more likely to touch each other, which triggers them to explore in tight spirals. If they run into a low number of other ants, they walk in a straight line. This combination means that they spend more time thoroughly exploring an area that is interesting enough to attract other ants and cover a lot of ground while exploring other regions.

It’s a system that interests robotics researchers. If a fleet of robots is exploring a collapsed building, they can work more quickly if they don’t have to rely on a central commander to tell them where to go.

But what happens if you disrupt the very basis of the ants’ communication system? Stanford University researchers decided to answer the question by sending ants into space, where low gravity would alter how many times they encounter other ants. About 70 ants were placed in a container that shifted in size to reveal different behaviors.



- Stanford biology professor Deborah Gordon -


“In microgravity, the struggle to walk interferes with interactions, in particular the relation between density and interaction rate,” said biology professor Deborah Gordon, who designed the experiment. “Thus each ant has less information about density, and so less information to influence its path shape and searching behavior.”

How the ants react could inform robot behavior in scenarios where radio communications have been interrupted. If it’s smoky or dusty and they can no longer communicate, the robots could develop a new system on the spot that still allows them to search an area thoroughly and efficiently.

Gordon, whose interest in ants began with a broader interest in central control-free systems like brains and embryos, said it is “very exciting” to send an experiment to the ISS. Her team will now study video from the ants’ time aboard the space station to work out how they responded to microgravity. "

"After a string of robotics acquisitions, Google told Re/code today that it will buy artificial intelligence company DeepMind. Re/code said Google will pay $400 million, but TechCrunch reports it may be more.

DeepMind’s website describes the London-based company as a “cutting edge artificial intelligence company” that combines “the best techniques from machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms.” It was co-founded by neuroscientist Demis Hassabis, who is also an accomplished chess player and game designer.

Google bought eight robot-centered companies last year, including Boston Dynamics. It also acquired Nest this month and has a history of working on robotics projects, including self-driving cars. The DeepMind buy emphasizes that Google is beefing up all aspects of its robotics portfolio, from hardware to software to artificial intelligence.

DeepMind’s website states that its first commercial applications are simulations, e-commerce and games. Re/code reports it employs at least 50 people and has picked up more than $50 million in funding to date. "

"The U.S. uses its digital surveillance capabilities to commit industrial espionage, Edward Snowden has claimed in an interview with German network NDR, broadcast on Sunday night. The NSA whistleblower suggested German industrial giant Siemens was a target, with information being taken by the intelligence agency even when it had nothing to do with national security. When the agency was previously shown to have spied on Brazil’s Petrobras, U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper insisted it never used that information to give U.S. firms an unfair advantage. Australia’s intelligence agency, an NSA partner, has reportedly spied on Japanese firms for the benefit of Australian companies, and France is generally seen as a world leader in that regard. "

"Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi told the press on Monday that China and the European Union should consider a multi-billion-dollar free-trade deal, a possibility that seemed unthinkable just a year ago, Reuters reported.

The statement followed Yang’s meeting with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. "There are bright prospects for China-EU business cooperation," Yang said. Trade between Europe and China has doubled since 2003 to more than US$1.3 billion a day. Last year, Brussels threatened to levy punitive import duties on billions of dollars of Chinese solar panels.

"Investors in a troubled Chinese wealth management product that was about to default have been given a chance to recoup their money, Bloomberg reported, citing an investor.

Rights in the US$496 million (RMB3 billion) product issued by China Credit Trust can be sold to unidentified buyers at a price equal to the value of the principal invested. The offer was made by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (1398.HKG, 601398.HKG) and means that the first default on such a product in China is likely to be averted. The bailout may encourage risk-taking by wealthy investors in China’s US$1.7 trillion trust industry. "

"Pentagon officials said on Tuesday the US military’s technological superiority is increasingly threatened by China, and efforts to maintain an edge are complicated by defense budget cuts, Reuters reported.

Frank Kendall, the deputy undersecretary of defense for acquisition and technology, told lawmakers the Pentagon's ability to respond by developing new technologies was "severely limited by the current budget situation," with the department facing hundreds of billions in cuts to projected spending over the next decade. The base US defense budget will drop below US$500 billion in 2014 under a deal finalized in January, while China's grew to US$119 billion last year after another double-digit jump. "

"China’s leading PC maker Lenovo Group (0992.HKG) said on Wednesday it had agreed to buy Google (GOOG.NASDAQ)’s Motorola handset division for US$2.91 billion, Reuters reported.

Lenovo is trying to buy its way into a heavily competitive and lucrative US handset market dominated by Apple (AAPL.NASDAQ).

"Highly Positive Scoping Study Results" - Jan 30, 2014

"HLs:"

+ The scoping study results "indicate potential for a highly economic Project generating substantial cash flow @current Niobium prices for a relatively low capital outlay":

Option - Mill Throughput - Average Niobium Production - Average CashCost($/kg Nb)1 - Mine Life - Payback - Initial Capital - EBITDA(life of
mine)

Base Case - 2Mtpa - 4.80 Mkg pa - US$16.67 - 28yrs - 2.8yrs - US$185M
- US$2,620M
Staged Case - 1 to 2.3Mtpa - 2.65M/5.46M kg pa - US$19.86 /$16.17 - 27yrs - 4.5yrs - US$125M - US$2,690M


+ Payback is <three years for the base case

+ Open cut mine, with strip ratio of only 0.37 to 1

+ Total initial capital expenditure for the base case(2.000.000t/a) is US$
185.000.000(Q4 `13), @an accuracy of ±30%, with 20% contingency

+ A staged option(production commencing @1.000.000t/a +later increasing to 2.300.000 t/a), enabling reduced upfront capital with similar life of mine economics

+ Significant opportunity to expand the resource, through additional exploration activities

+ Opportunity to further enhance the Project economics, through further optimisation, particularly in the areas of mine scheduling +reagent use

+ Pre-feasibility Study is planned to start in Q2 `14 +be completed by Q4 `14. ...

Zitat von Popeye82: Alter NRG - Executes a USD$21.000.000 Agreement for the Sale of a Plasma Gasifier with Air Products &Chemicals Inc., a "Fortune 500 Company"; Westinghouse Plasma Technology is the, "worldwide leader in creating energy from waste using plasma gasification"; From an environmental perspective, a plasma facility will have significantly lower emissions than other alternative energy facilities +have an overall emissions profile lower than a natural gas combined cycle power facility, which is considered the cleanest fossil fuel production. From an economic perspective waste-to-energy projects " "generally" have "strong project returns in populous Areas", as the projects receive revenues from tipping fees, to take the waste +then also receive revenues from the sale of energy"; facility is "expected" to start commissioning in the 1st half of ´14 +"will be the world's largest plasma gasification facility, by a "significant" margin" - Nov 8, 2013

Alter NRG Corp. announces "new product, which increases energy efficiency", which "provides "up to" 40% greater overall torch efficiency, when utilized in the large scale 1.000 tonne/day Westinghouse G65 Plasma Gasifier." The newly designed torches have "successfully undergone extended life performance testing +the 1st set of Marc 4.5 torches have been delivered, in support of a large scale facility in Northeast England." In addition to supporting Westinghouse Plasma waste-to-energy facilities, the Company " "believes" that newly designed torch satisfies a market demand for an efficient +clean heat source for metallurgical recycling, blast-furnaces, foundry cupola's, iron making +other industries using coal, coke, or higher cost fuels" - Jan 16, 2014

Alter NRG Corp. "announces the commissioning of an "incinerator ash vitrification facility", in China" constructed by GTS Energy in Shanghai, China. The facility is co-located with Shanghai Environmental, a "subsidiary of large, state-owned enterprise Shanghai Chengtou Holding Co. Ltd.", who operates businesses that transport domestic wastes to landfills +incinerators. The recent Grand Opening of the Facility was well attended by local media, environmental groups, interested incineration +other industrial companies, as well as government officials; Dean Mao: "GTS has successfully commissioned the plasma torch systems with the support of Alter NRG. The success of the torch commissioning was "a very important, key step in the success of the project."

GE +Komatsu "join forces, developing next wave of underground mining equipment" - MA - Jan 30, 2014

- Alex Heber -
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/ge-and-komatsu-join-forces-d…

" Komatsu is making its way underground as it joins forces with GE Transportation to develop a range of next generation mining equipment.

Signing a joint venture agreement, the two companies are set to pool resources in an effort to develop new technologies for underground mines.

It comes as the mining industry sees a greater trend towards underground development as higher grade ores closer to the surface become increasingly depleted and existing resources become less cost effective to process.

The new company, Komatsu GE Mining Systems will be based in Erie, Pennsylvania and will launch operations in April.

Each parent company will hold a 50 per cent stake in the new venture.

Komatsu and GE Transportation have previously collaborated in the development of open pit mining dump trucks.

GE said it will bring its electric power and drive system experience to the table, while Komatsu will specialise in ICT technologies.

Discussing the company’s December quarter results, General Electric chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt told investors the company’s transportation arm is being impacted by a weak mining market.

He said the company expects the mining market to remain soft over the next year.

GE CFO Jeff Bornstein said mining orders have fallen 60 per cent in the three months to December. "

Teen innovators compete for BHP Billiton Science +Engineering Awards - MA - Jan 30, 2014

- Kevin Gomez -
www.miningaustralia.com.au/news/teen-innovators-compete-for-…

"From a glove which controls computers to bikes made from bamboo, the finalists in this years' BHP Billiton Science and Engineering Awards cover a diverse range of science and engineering that can teach us all a little something about innovation.

The winners of the awards will be announced in Melbourne next week by the Chief Executive Officer of BHP Billiton, Andrew Mackenzie, and CSIRO Chief Executive, Megan Clark.

Ben Beagley from Victoria's St Kevin's College has been selected as a finalist in the awards for developing an organic light-weight bamboo bike .

Using the bamboo in his garage, Ben designed and constructed a cheaper alternative to the traditional bike that uses the strength and flexibility of bamboo to replace heavy, industrial metal components.

Jake Coppinger from Canberra has come up with The Swirlesque, a wearable glove which allows the user to make natural gestures for human-computer interaction and perform actions.

Swirlesque detects hand gestures and acts upon them in intelligent ways such as controlling a music player on a smartphone, control a computer, a TV, a home media centre, or a light bulb.

Other finalists include an app to warn drivers of approaching emergency vehicles, removing nutrients and pollutants using wetland plants, and a forward facing rowing machine.

"Science will always be at the core of understanding how we address human, environmental and business challenges while engineering helps us find the way to do it," Mackenzie said.

"That's why we have supported these awards for over 30 years. As a global natural resources company, scientists and engineers are an integral part of our present and future, and fundamental to the ongoing development of society.

"Since 1981 the BHP Billiton Science and Engineering Awards have been Australia's most prestigious school science awards.The awards reward young people who have undertaken practical research projects, which demonstrate innovative approaches and thorough scientific or engineering procedures."

This year's finalists are tackling at high school some things that are being tackled in leading research laboratories," Dr Clark said.

"They have taken on great challenges, like wireless power transmission, bamboo bikes, food production, pollution and helping stroke victims to recover. They inspire us with their courage."

The awards are sponsored by BHP Billiton and are managed by CSIRO and are a partnership between BHP Billiton, CSIRO and the Australian Science Teachers Association. The awards are also supported by Intel Corporation. "

"If Green Building is Going to Save the Planet, it Will Have to Include Green Roads" - CT/GLU - Jan 30, 2014

- Stuart Kaplov -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/01/30/if-green-building-is…

"There are 3,980,817 miles of roads in the United States. Roads are the largest built structures we come into contact with and yet they are so ubiquitous and familiar that they have become an impervious given, the dark matter of the motor vehicle cosmos.

The amount of impervious roads is equivalent to the size of the state of Ohio. And the negative environmental impacts associated with those impervious surfaces are daunting.

Additionally, road building consumes a lot of energy. Building a one mile long single road lane uses as much energy to build as 50 American households in a single year.

But when society thinks about green building, those thoughts are almost universally of buildings (be it offices or schools or homes) and not of infrastructure like roads and bridges. As sustainability increasingly becomes a mainstream concern, one of the strategies some government departments of transportation have adopted for providing a more sustainable approach is a “green streets and highways rating system.”

Similar to LEED certification for buildings, emerging sustainability initiatives for roads are just beginning to pick up speed across the nation and there is no current widely accepted standard or practice for rating green roads.

Established in 2010 and gaining traction today, Greenroads Foundation is an independent nonprofit advancing sustainability education and initiatives for roads. As the developer of the Greenroads Rating System, the foundation manages the review and certification process for sustainable roadway and bridge construction projects in the U.S. and internationally.

The Greenroads rating system was the first third party, point based system available to certify sustainable roadway and transportation infrastructure projects. The system provides metrics to measure the effect of design and construction practices implemented on a project to earn points toward one of four awards, called “Ratings.”

The Greenroads Rating System is a collection of sustainable roadway design and construction best practices that encompass water, environment, access, community impact, construction practices and materials. Each practice is assigned a point value according to its contribution to road sustainability.

At a minimum, there are 11 “Project Requirements” that must be completed in order for a road to be considered a Greenroad. There are also 37 “Voluntary Credits” that a project team can choose to pursue. Greenroads assigns a project score based on the number of points amassed by meeting the requirements and achieving credits. This score translates to one of four certification levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Evergreen. The Greenroads Manual is available without cost.

It is applicable to all types and sizes of road projects, including new, rehabilitation, reconstruction, preservation, overlay and bridge projects.

Greenroads provide environmental and economic benefits. In terms of lifecycle costs, a Greenroad costs less because the materials, technologies and systems used make it more durable, so it requires less and less environmentally damaging maintenance.

More than 100 projects of various types, sizes and stages of design and construction have been used as case studies to test and refine the Greenroads Rating System.

If green building is going to save the planet, society will have to think with a broader mindset than only buildings and Greenroads need to be at the forefront. "

BC govt extends C$10.000.000 mining flow-through share tax credit, for 2014 - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Jan 31, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/bc-govt-extends-c10m-mining-flo…

"British Columbia Premier Christy Clark this week announced that the provincial government would extend its $10-million mining flow-through share tax credit programme for 2014 to support mining exploration investment.

"British Columbia’s mineral exploration and mining industry is a great comeback story. It's a vital part of our strong economy, supporting good-paying, secure jobs in communities across the province – and the best is yet to come,” she said on Monday.

The programme, which was expected to total $10-million this year, helps junior exploration companies attract investment and continue to make important resource discoveries in the province. It provides an incentive that could be used to raise additional revenue for mineral exploration and development.

"Resource development is the backbone of our way of life in British Columbia. We're extending the tax credit because junior exploration companies are on the front lines. It's their discoveries that expand the mining sector and the province's economy by finding new opportunities which create jobs not just in our rural communities, but in the downtowns of urban centres like Vancouver as well,” the provincial Energy and Mines Minister, and Minister Responsible for Core Review Bill Bennett said.

The preliminary regional estimates for exploration expenditures in 2013 totalled $476-million, which was the second highest on record. Over the past decade, about $3.5-billion was spent on mineral exploration throughout the province. Further, about 30 000 people were employed in the mineral exploration, mining, and related sectors, in more than 50 communities across the province.

"[Monday’s] announcement demonstrates that the provincial government is committed to encouraging investment in mineral exploration. By extending this tax incentive into the future, the provincial government will ensure our world-class industry continues to be globally competitive and attractive to investors,” the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia president and CEO Gavin Dirom said.


PERMIT STREAMLINING

Premier Clark also announced that, owing to recent streamlining and regulatory initiatives, the provincial government had exceeded its BC Jobs Plan goal for permitting turnaround times.

‘Notices of Work’ permit applications were now processed in 55 days on average, a substantial reduction from an average of 110 days in 2011.

Since the BC Jobs Plan was announced in 2011, two new mines – creating more than 800 jobs – had started production. Five more mines had been permitted or were under construction, including Imperial Metals Corp’s Red Chris and Anglo American’s Roman mines, which were expected to open this year, adding another 675 jobs.

Further, seven mines had received permits for major expansions to extend their operating lives, adding about 300 jobs.

Today British Columbia has 19 operating mines (nine coal and ten metal). In 2001, there were 15 operating mines (seven coal and eight metal). The province also had about 20 major mines and expansions moving through the environmental assessment and permitting process.

Clark had also proclaimed January 26 to February 1, a ‘mineral exploration week’. "

"New transparency recommendations, to influence Canadian disclosure laws" - MW, TORONTO - Jan 31, 2014

- S. Rees, H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/new-transparency-recommendation…

"One of the most searing indictments levelled against the mining industry is that it has consistently short -changed governments, particularly those in developing nations.

The industry’s failure to collectively address this accusation has caused lasting and deep damage to the public’s perception of mining; it has also allowed numerous governments – again, mainly in the developing world – to accrue earnings without having to declare them. At its worst, it has had the potential to facilitate corruption.


MAKING IT MANDATORY

In response, there is now a willingness among many in the Canadian mining sector to make transparent the payments made to governments at all levels.

The US already requires mandatory disclosure by mining companies of payments to government bodies under the Dodd-Frank Act, specifically Section 1504, while the European Union’s (EU's) legislation in this regard is ongoing. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative has also helped point the way.

Canada is therefore keen to emulate and to build on the standards already coalesced. “Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced on behalf of the federal government that mandatory disclosure would be coming to Canada. The government has made statements suggesting that such legislation will be introduced in 2014 and on the books by 2015,” Norton Rose Fulbright associate Andrew Godfrey told Mining Weekly Online.

Godfrey specialises in securities law and mergers and acquisitions.

Importantly, the federal government now has some important waypoints marked out for it in the form of recommendations released on January 16 by Canada’s Resource Revenue Transparency Working Group.

The group comprises the Mining Association of Canada, the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, Publish What You Pay Canada and the Revenue Watch Institute.

The recommendations propose disclosure by mining companies listed on Canadian exchanges of all taxes paid to governments or government bodies on profit or production. The level of royalties paid should also be declared, as well as the listing of production entitlements, including both value and volume.

In addition, the recommendations call for the disclosure of any bonuses and dividends made to governments. Payments relating to infrastructure should also be reported if they are required by government law or contract.

Transport and terminal operations fees should be acknowledged too.

The threshold for declaration on a payment is recommended at over $100 000 for companies trading on the TSX, and $10 000 for companies trading on the TSX-V.

“The categories line up almost exactly as they do within the Dodd-Frank Act and EU legislation, except for transportation and terminal operations fees, which is a made-in-Canada addition,” Godfrey said.

Government is defined by the working group at both national and sub-national levels and includes State-owned enterprises. Importantly, the group proposes that subsidiaries and joint ventures making payments to government should also report.

“Many projects are run by regional subsidiaries, which means the listed parent might not be responsible for making payments to government bodies or the government in relation to a specific project,” Godfrey said.

The working group recommends that declarations be filed, on a separate form, to SEDAR on a yearly basis.

Investors are also likely to benefit from the model outlined by the working group. “Disclosure is a good thing for investors. It gives greater details on the company they’re investing in and, of course, affords greater insight into government payments, taxes and royalties etcetera on a project-by-project basis,” Godfrey said


ONE NATION, MANY REGULATORS

Canada has no national securities regulator, which means a pan-Canada agreement among the various provincial securities regulators will be required.

“The working group recognised that there was a kind of fragmented approach to securities regulation in Canada,” Godfrey said. “However, there are institutions such as the Canadian Securities Administrators that have worked to develop national instruments in the past and this will help create a level playing field in Canada.”

“So the hope of the working group is that an engagement will [soon] start with the provincial securities regulators. The provinces where the majority of mining companies in Canada are registered [are likely to be approached first], notably the Ontario Securities Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission,” he said.

“And remember that the working group has engaged all key stakeholders, including industry, investors, civil society and academics etcetera, so provincial-level securities regulators will undoubtedly give these recommendations some serious consideration,” he added. “Moving forward, my guess is that the provincial level will be where the recommendations are most likely to be implemented.”

For the seniors, these recommendations will be familiar territory as many are dual-listed on US and EU exchanges and already follow the mandatory rules of these jurisdictions. “If you are a listed senior in Canada then the chances are you trade not only on the TSX but are probably cross-listed somewhere else, probably on an exchange in the US or EU,” Godfrey said.

“I’m sure many of the senior issuers in Canada have started or already have in place internal accounting procedures that enable them to track this information on a project-by-project basis,” he said. “So if companies don’t already have the necessary systems in place, then we advise them to start working towards meeting the recommendations and to develop the internal controls needed.”

Companies tempted to bury their heads in the sand and ignore the recommendations will be sorely misguided. “This issue is not going to go away: it has the support of the industry, civil society and the federal government. I think mandatory reporting along the lines of the recommendations will come into effect and within the timeline outlined by the federal government,” Godfrey explained.

“Overall, the fact that the Canadian mining industry has been forward looking and proactive when it comes to transparency, and that it has done this well in advance of any sort of government announcement, deserves a tip of the hat,” he said. "

United Nations Inspectors to Visit Iranian Uranium Mine - U308.biz/IAEA/UN/R - Jan 30, 2014

- V. Diniz -
www.u3o8.biz/s/MarketCommentary.asp?ReportID=621852&_Type=Ma…

"As part of the nuclear transparency program between Iran and United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a team of three IAEA inspectors visited the Gchine uranium mine in Iran for the first time since 2005 on Wednesday.

The mine visitation is among six concrete steps Iran agreed to under a November 11 cooperation agreement with the IAEA; it is aimed at allowing expanded monitoring of the country's nuclear sites.

"The main purpose of inspecting the Gachin mine is to calculate its existing stockpile of (uranium) and probe to see whether Iran has withdrawn undeclared materials and injected them into an undeclared process or not," nuclear news website irannuc.ir reported Wednesday.

Through the November deal, Iran agreed to give IAEA inspectors "managed access" within the subsequent three months to two nuclear sites, including the Gchine mine and a heavy water facility at the unfinished Arak nuclear reactor. The inspectors paid a visit to the heavy water facility on December 8, 2013. According to the IAEA, all "technical objectives" were met; however, concerns from the western world linger that the Arak facility, when completed, will engage in the production of plutonium, an ingredient for use in nuclear weapons.

Iran maintains that it is only refining uranium for use in a planned network of nuclear power plants. Reuters states that through its inspections, the IAEA hopes to gain a better understanding of the country's nuclear program to ensure that the material is not being used for military purposes.

The IAEA and Iran will meet again on February 8, 2014 to discuss further requirements under the cooperation agreement. According to Reuters, the IAEA is likely to press for more access and information relating to the investigation into Iran's alleged nuclear weapons.


Iran vs. the west

It should be noted that the Iran-IAEA deal runs parallel to another November agreement that Iran made with six world powers. Under that deal, Iran agreed to put an end to its most sensitive nuclear enrichment activities in exchange for eased sanctions over its controversial nuclear program from the western nations.

Specifically, the agreement will see Iran halt its 20-percent enrichment program, which is almost military grade. However, it will continue its 5-percent enrichment program. The country will also convert half its stockpile of 20-percent enriched uranium to oxide while diluting the remainder to 5-percent enriched. "

His command of English is imperfect, but I don’t think anyone can say that about his insight into what’s to come, when he smiles and tells us, “After you get renewable energy, you have to store it. It’s about the potential for society.”

Last week, ex-U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu (photo above) joined the board of directors at Amprius, a move that should have us all thinking carefully about the future of energy. Great things are happening all around us. "

Rice University Researchers Create a Paintable Battery - CT/ER/RU - Jul 2, 2012

- Antonio Pasolini -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2012/07/02/rice-university-rese…

"Battery technology keeps improving in terms of density and storage, but how about changing the very form in it which a battery is presented? This is what researchers at Rice University in Texas have done with the creation of a paintable battery solution that reinvents the whole concept .

The rechargeable battery consists of spray-painted layers, each representing the components in a traditional battery. The research was carried out in the laboratory of materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan and it has the potential to turn any surface into a lithium-ion battery, which could be a real game-changer when combined with solar cells.




Lead author Neelam Singh, a Rice graduate student, and her team spent a great deal of time formulating, mixing and testing paints for each of the five layered components: two current collectors, a cathode, an anode and a polymer separator in the middle. The materials were airbrushed onto ceramic bathroom tiles, flexible polymers, glass, stainless steel and even a beer mug to see how well they would bond with each substrate.

In the first experiment, nine bathroom tile-based batteries were connected in parallel. One was topped with a solar cell that converted power from a white laboratory light. When fully charged by both the solar panel and house current, the batteries alone powered a set of light-emitting diodes that spelled out “RICE” for six hours. The batteries provided a steady 2.4 volts.

Singh said the batteries were easily charged with a small solar cell. She foresees the possibility of integrating paintable batteries with paintable solar cells to create a killer energy-harvesting combination . Besides, since spray painting is already an industrial process, “it would be very easy to incorporate this into industry,” she said.

The Rice researchers have filed for a patent on the technique, which they will continue to develop and refine. Singh said they are looking for electrolytes that would make it easier to create painted batteries in the open air. They also envision their batteries as snap-together tiles that can be configured in any number of ways. "

Solid Electrolyte " "Could" Lead to Larger, Safer Lithium Ion Batteries" - CT/YE360/JotACS/ORNL, OAK RIDGE - Jan 25, 2013
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2013/01/25/solid-electrolyte-co…
www.ornl.gov/ornl/news/news-releases/2013/ornl-research-pave…

"U.S. researchers have developed a high-performance, solid electrolyte for use in energy-dense lithium ion batteries that they say is safer than existing liquid electrolytes and could lead to batteries that are five to 10 times more powerful than existing batteries.

While lithium-ion batteries typically utilize liquid electrolytes to conduct the lithium ions between the positively charged cathode and the negatively charged anode, the liquid materials pose flammability risks — especially as engineers attempt to make more powerful lightweight batteries.

Utilizing a chemical process known as nanostructuring, scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) say they were able to create a nanoporous solid electrolyte that conducts ions 1,000 times faster than in its natural bulk form, enabling more energy-dense batteries.

According to the researchers, this innovation could allow engineers to develop pure lithium anodes, which could yield batteries that are far more powerful than those using carbon-based anodes. “A solid electrolyte enables the lithium metal to cycle well, with highly enhanced safety,” said Chengdu Liang, a ORNL lead author of the study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

"Within a few years, a self-powered robot "could" be mowing your lawn"; The EcoMow "powers itself on the same grass that it harvests . While its creators have hit some barriers to entering the consumer market, they 'might' start developing a model for the masses, in '16" - GO - Jan 31, 2014

http://gigaom.com/2014/01/31/within-a-few-years-a-self-power…

"Around the time of World War II, fuel rations caused Europeans to look to alternative means to power their cars. Some attached hulking tanks to the back of their car that burned wood chips as fuel.

http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/screen-shot-2014-…


Several years ago, George Mason University graduate student Jason Force had a modern idea for the technology: Because grass pellets are just as good as wood chips for this kind of system, why not create a lawn mower with it? It could power itself with the grass it harvested. It could also be self-guiding, like a Roomba, so users would not longer have to mow their own lawn.

He got to work on the self-guiding aspect five years ago. The idea grew into a startup called EcoMow Technologies. Its team began working on the chemical engineering last year.

Force tested the robot among consumers and found that they loved the idea. But investors hated it. Developing software for this type of robot is highly complicated and will be a big challenge for the EcoMow team.

“Because it’s such a major departure from what the public has seen before, they consider it too risky,” Force said in an interview. “A lot of work would have to go into this product to make it safe; don’t run over your pets or children, don’t run into the street and cause an accident. The concern was we would get to the end of the $2 million development cycle and the customers would just decide they didn’t like it.”

For now, EcoMow is pursuing another product: a larger mower that will harvest hay fields for fuel pellets, which can then be sold. It won’t have as sophisticated of a guidance system, but it uses the same chemistry as the consumer model and, more importantly, has found support among investors. EcoMow plans to produce a prototype by April and sell it to customers next year.

Force said he hasn’t forgotten about the consumer mower. He still plans to develop it, likely beginning in 2016. A small model designed to manicure lawns less than an acre in size might cost $500 and weigh less than 10 pounds. A larger model for a 10-acre property might cost $2,000 to $3,000.

Force also sees the EcoMow as a potentially powerful tool in developing nations. Instead of building a power plant and biomass processor, plus buying a harvester to collect biomass, communities could use a version of the EcoMow for all three.

“An application I’m pursuing is having little micro grids set up in East Africa where the units would go harvest during the night and then come back and plug themselves in to a power unit during the day and supply power to the local region during the day,” he said. “It would be operating all the time, but dividing its time between power generation and harvesting. In this capacity it would lower the barrier for developing nations to have a new energy economy in areas that don’t currently have one.” "

African "mining" potential huge -Shabangu - MW, CAPE TOWN - Feb 3, 2013

- Sapa -
www.miningweekly.com/article/african-mining-potential-huge--…

"Africa's unmined metals and minerals lie waiting for investors, Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu said on Monday.

Speaking at the start of the African Mining Indaba in Cape Town, she called for greater investment in exploration by both local and international partners.

"Africa remains grossly under-explored for its mineral potential. For instance, the exploration expenditure/square metre averages US65 dollars in Canada, Australia +Latin America, whereas the African equivalence remains <US5 dollars/square kilometre.

"The mineral exploration prospect in Africa remains extremely high, requiring both local and international partners and investment to unearth."

Shabangu said tapping into this needed "responsible" investment, not investment based on exploitative principles centred solely on expectations for unrealistic rates of returns, disguised by the principle of high-risk, high-return.

"As you know, mining is a long-term investment, and not about quick wins. Those who balance Africa's mineral development with growth will ultimately receive the greatest reward in the long-term."

Such development should be coupled with community development, nurturing human capacity growth and development, as well as institutional collaboration on joint technology development and deployment.

It was also important that mining development in Africa be integrated and interlinked with its infrastructure development initiatives, such as the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa, adopted by the African Union.

Shabangu said Africa needed a "gigantic" shift and transformation in its traditional mining jurisdictions.

"This should entail a shift from [the] exporting of largely raw material to ensuring that minerals serve as a catalyst for accelerated industrialisation through mineral value-addition."

The fundamentals for investing in mineral development, both globally and in Africa specifically, were sound.

"The huge impact of the increased demand on earth's shrinking resource-base, as a result of unprecedented population explosion of recent years, will be even more important for Africa's mineral development. "

Hi, mach mich hier etwas rar, aber erstens bin ich gerade beim Umziehen, aber noch wichtiger, für mich stehen wirtschaftl. Überlegungen hinter den polit. zurück, v.a. das Überwachungsthema ist bereits ein MEGA bzw. META-Trend, weshalb ich sie bewusst in diesen Thread einstelle.

Hier eine Mail, die ich soeben an Freunde u. Bekannte verschickte:

Guten Morgen, nicht die erste Mail in dieser Causa, aber es ist wichtig, die Zeit läuft davon u. mir werden langsam die Zus.hänge klarer, es geht wieder mal um Überwachung. Bei all den superdrängenden wichtigen Themen die wir haben wie Finanzkrise, Korruption, Zentralisierung, Sozialer Friede, Gen-Manipulationen, Atomrisiko, Überbevölkerung, Fundamentalismus (besonders Islam), Umweltverschmutzung, bedrohte Natur, Nanothechnologie, Militärtechnologie, ......ist für mich die Erkenntnis gereift, dass das Thema der Überwachung das wichtigste für mich (ein Verhungernder in Afrika würde das sicher anders sehen) ist. Die Zeit läuft davon.

Bitte diesen Artikel lesen, es wird klar, dass mittlerweile genügend Leute aus dem System ausgestiegen sind, veröffentlichen u. warnen. Durch die Fokussierung auf Snowden in den Medien u. öffentl.Debatte wird der Eindruck erweckt, es handle sich um einen EINZELNEN, was automatisch die Diskussion in gewisse Bahnen lenkt.

Bei Günther Jauch bemerkte der ewige Ex-Botschafter der USA in der BRD Kornblum, Snowden hätte in den USA bleiben sollen u. als aufrechter Bürger mit rechtstaatlichen Mitteln gegen die Überwachungsmaßnahmen vorgehen
können, also gegen den militärisch-industriellen Komplex, gegen Geheimdienste, abhängige Politiker, Richter, Journalisten..... .

Was für ein Hohn, den man dem unbedarften Publikum als Sonntagsmärchen auftischt.

Wenn man nur etwas die Details betrachtet, wie hier im Artikel, dass es kostengünstige LÖSUNGEN gäbe, eine Filterung so vorzunehmen, dass man nur einen Bruchtteil der Kommunikation abfängt, speichert u. weiter verfolgt, dann wird sofort klar, in welcher Richtung der Hase wirklich läuft.

Beste Grüße

PS: danke Popeye für Deinen immer tollen Einsatz, leider komme ich überhaupt nicht dazu Deine Beiträge zu lesen, geschweige denn würdigen. Habe schon im Hinterkopf dass ich da was verpasse

29C3: Gipfeltreffen der NSA-Whisteblower und "Staatsfeinde"

Zwei frühere Mitarbeiter der National Security Agency (NSA) haben auf dem 29. Chaos Communication Congress (29C3) über ihren Kampf gegen das Abhörprogramm des technischen US-Geheimdiensts, dessen Fähigkeiten und die Ausmaße der Überwachung berichtet. Kurz nach dem 11. September 2001 habe die NSA die Spionageausrüstung, die vormals nur gegen ausländische Mächte eingesetzt worden sei, gegen "die eigenen Leute" gerichtet, erklärte der Whistleblower Thomas Drake am Donnerstag in Hamburg. Dies habe bei ihm die Alarmglocken schrillen lassen, da ohne richterliche Genehmigung und so gegen die Verfassung US-Bürger überwacht worden seien.

Thomas Drake
Thomas Drake
Bild: Stefan Krempl Eine NSA-Abteilung habe schon damals das Filterprogramm ThinThread parat gehabt, das die Daten Unverdächtiger habe aussortieren können und zudem sehr kostengünstig gewesen sei, führte Drake aus. Damit hätten die Terroranschläge auf New York und Washington verhindert werden können. Der viele Milliarden Dollar schwere militärisch-industrielle Geheimdienstkomplex, der auch den Kongress umfasse, habe dagegen auf den Einsatz des viel teureren Trailblazer-Systems gedrängt, dessen Entwicklung in einem Fiasko endete.

Nachdem er einem Reporter Einblicke in nicht als geheim eingestufte Unterlagen gegeben habe, sei er dem Staat selbst in die Hände gefallen, erzählte Drake. Dieser strebe ein absolutes Wissen über die Bevölkerung an, jeder sei verdächtig und die Regierung entscheide über Recht oder Unrecht. So seien die von ihm "freigegebenen" Akten nachträglich in Geheimpapiere umgewandelt, harmlose Informationen aus dem Zusammenhang gerissen sowie gegen ihn verwendet worden. Er sei zweieinhalb Jahre als Staatsfeind gebrandmarkt und wegen Spionage angeklagt worden. Die Papiere der Anklage hätten aber letztlich nicht ausgereicht, sodass er wieder ein freier Mann sei.

Für Drake ist George Orwells "1984" längst Realität. Die IT arbeite einem Geheimpolizeistaat in die Hände. In dessen Kern stehe ein virtuelles öffentliches Gefängnis in Form eines Panoptikums, das von einem digitalen Zaun umgeben sei. Das Internet bedrohe mit seiner Offenheit und Transparenz zwar autoritäre Regime. Diese versuchten aber über internationale Verträge und Hinterzimmergespräche, Zensurinfrastruktur einzubauen und das Netz unter ihre Kontrolle zu bekommen. Nötig seien daher Anonymisierungsserver und einfach nutzbare Datenschutztechniken, um zu verhindern, dass über jeden Nutzer umfangreiche Dossiers angehäuft und Profile erstellt würden.

William Binney
William Binney
Bild: Stefan Krempl William Binney, einer der ThinThread-Programmierer bei der NSA, zeichnete seine jahrelangen vergeblichen Versuche nach, das US-Justizministerium, parlamentarische Ausschüsse oder die Mehrheitsführer im Kongress auf die Missstände des Bespitzelungsprogramms hinzuweisen. Dagegen seien die Überwachungsaktivitäten immer weiter ausgedehnt und gegen "jedermann weltweit" gerichtet worden. Allein der US-Telekommunikationsriese AT&T versorge die NSA täglich mit mehreren hundert Millionen Nutzerspuren. Er wandte sich schließlich an die Öffentlichkeit, nachdem er seinen Ruhestand angetreten hatte.

Der geheimdienstliche Datenstaubsauger sei gigantisch, seine Analyse- und Speichermöglichkeiten würden ständig ausgebaut, führte Binney aus. Schon während der Arbeit an ThinThread habe er anfänglich angestrebt, 20 Terabyte pro Minute auswerten zu können. Das neue NSA-Datenzentrum in Bluffdale im Bundesstaat Utah könne voraussichtlich bereits 5 Petabyte bewältigen.

Jesselyn Radack
Jesselyn Radack Jesselyn Radack, die Drake als Anwältin und Menschenrechtsexpertin beim Government Accountability Project in Washington vor Gericht vertrat, sprach von einem "Krieg" der Regierung gegen Whistleblower. Unter US-Präsident Barack Obama seien bereits mehr Hinweisgeber angeklagt worden als von allen früheren US-Regierungen zusammengenommen. Sie selbst sei nach dem Aufdecken ethischer Verstöße während der FBI-Befragung des "amerikanischen Taliban" John Walker Lindh unter anderem auf der Liste "No Fly" gelandet und habe sich vor jedem Flug einer umfangreichen Leibesvisitation unterziehen müssen.
Der Kampf gegen den Terrorismus darf laut Radack nicht dazu führen, Enthüller der Wahrheit zu terrorisieren und die Freiheit mit Füßen zu trampeln, die angeblich geschützt werden solle. Die digitale Technik bezeichnete sie als eine der Waffen gegen Despotismus, da etwa über Plattformen wie Wikileaks große Informationsmengen anonym publiziert werden könnten. Die Regierung missbrauche die Technik aber und richte beispielsweise Staatstrojaner gegen Whistleblower, Forscher, Reporter oder gar Abgeordnete. (Stefan Krempl) / (anw)

"BELLINGHAM, Wash., Jan. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ITKG) ("Integral"), an emerging leader in hybrid conductive plastics, and its wholly owned subsidiary ElectriPlast Corp., announced today the opening of its new Detroit Technology Center. The facility has been instituted to expand Integral's research and engineering capabilities, as well as enhance the company's applications development and technical support.

Since June of last year, Integral has signed a joint product development agreement with Delphi, a licensing agreement for sales and manufacturing with Hanwha L&C and most recently entered into an MOU with BASF, for the development of ElectriPlast as a lightweight shielding solution. The Tech Center offers engineering support and application development assistance to support these key relationships as well as Integral's growing customer base. It provides facility upgrades for staff expansion and additional resources that allow for greater internal testing, engineering and product development of ElectriPlast, Integral's line of proprietary hybrid conductive plastics.

"The opening of the Tech Center is driven by the rising demand for our technical expertise in conductive plastics from our customers," said Doug Bathauer, CEO of Integral. "This demand has been accelerating due to our recent relationships with Delphi, BASF and Hanwha L&C, and with the launch of our new facility, we are now in a much better position to deliver the superior technical support these world-class companies expect. Its strategic location, in Detroit is key toward Integral moving closer to the commercialization of ElectriPlast, as we remain confident that ElectriPlast will have a profound impact on the global automobile market and related industries."

Integral is the original researcher, developer and 100% owner of all intellectual property surrounding ElectriPlast, a patented line of non-corrosive, electrically conductive resin-based materials engineered to replace traditional metals such as steel or aluminum. Typically used for electrical and magnetic shielding applications in such industries as automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, cable and alternative energy, ElectriPlast can be molded into any of the infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics, rubbers and other polymers, while reducing component weight by 40% to 60%.

"ElectriPlast is a highly specialized and customized material, and all of our clients require some level of engineering support and application development assistance to initially incorporate our unique technology into their products," said Mo Zeidan, Integral's Chief Technology Officer and head of the Tech Center. "We work very closely with our clients and we pride ourselves in our ability to offer unparalleled engineering support. The Tech Center now allows us to strengthen this support, as well as research and develop new and innovative ways to apply our technology, all under one roof."

10-20 Services Inc. Contract Extension - Feb 4, 2014
http://missionready.ca/10-20-services-contract-extension/
http://sedar.com/CheckCode.do

"VANCOUVER, B.C. - Mission Ready Services Inc. ("Mission Ready" or "MRSI") is pleased to provide the following update on the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, 10-20 Services Inc. ("10-20" or "the Company").

10-20 has been providing services to one of the largest prime contractors of the US Army for the inspection, decontamination/cleaning and repair of gear returned from the field through SOCOM'S Special Operations Personal Equipment Advanced Requirements (SPEAR) program. 10-20 is cleaning and restoring SPEAR equipment at an average cost of 9% of its replacement value, saving the US Army SOCOM over $3.4 million in the past six months. 10-20 has recently been issued a purchase order to continue this service throughout 2014.

10-20 was also awarded a contract in October 2013 to clean interceptor outer tactical vests ("IOTV") for the US Army and began work in December 2013. 10-20 cleaned 3,000 vests during the first month as part of a US Army program to clean 74,000 IOTV's over the next 18-20 months. With an estimated replacement cost savings in excess of $50.000.000 to the US Army, the total project value is approximately $1.9 million.

Led by retired US Army Acquisitions Corps Major Clay Williamson, 10-20 was formed to provide logistics services and product sales to the U.S. Federal Government and their contractors. Since inception, 10-20 has achieved and built upon numerous successes including the launch of military cleaning and repair facilities adjacent to both Joint Base Lewis-McCord ("JBLM") in Washington and Fort Bragg, North Carolina - the world's largest military base. Additionally, the Company operates a kiosk on the JBLM base to serve the individual soldier market and gain exposure for the 10-20 Services at the base level.

"There is a definite and immediate demand for the highly effective and cost efficient services that we are able to offer through 10-20 and we are working fast to deploy more cleaning systems in more regions across the US to meet this need. We are in the process of automating many systems such as process monitoring to free up personnel to continue their focus on quality and care while ensuring a quick turn-around for 10-20 clients", says Clay Williamson, President of 10-20 Services Inc.

The Company currently employs 32 people, with 73% of these having a military affiliation as either a veteran or spouse of a current or retired soldier. The Company operates two shifts per day at the JBLM facility to process SPEAR and on-base kiosk gear. The 10,000 Sq Ft. Fort Bragg facility also operates two shifts and utilizes three Advanced Cleaning Systems. The Company employs a retired US Army logistics specialist and a retired US Command Sergeant Major to manage the Fort Bragg and JBLM facilities, respectively.

Rod Reum, CEO of Mission Ready states, "It is our intention to redefine the parameters by which military and first responder equipment is cleaned and repaired in terms of cost, quality, service and turn-around time. We have built a team of highly qualified individuals to help the Company achieve its aggressive growth strategy and continue to provide unparalleled services for soldiers and other first responders who serve to protect us."

The paper reports a metal-free flow battery (see the figure) that relies on the electrochemistry of naturally abundant, inexpensive, small organic (carbon-based) molecules called quinones, which are similar to molecules that store energy in plants and animals.

The mismatch between the availability of intermittent wind or sunshine and the variability of demand is the biggest obstacle to getting a large fraction of our electricity from renewable sources. A cost-effective means of storing large amounts of electrical energy could solve this problem.

The battery was designed, built, and tested in the laboratory of Michael J. Aziz, Gene and Tracy Sykes Professor of Materials and Energy Technologies at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). Roy G. Gordon, Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Materials Science, led the work on the synthesis and chemical screening of molecules. Alán Aspuru-Guzik, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, used his pioneering high-throughput molecular screening methods to calculate the properties of more than 10,000 quinone molecules in search of the best candidates for the battery.

Flow batteries store energy in chemical fluids contained in external tanks—as with fuel cells—instead of within the battery container itself. The two main components—the electrochemical conversion hardware through which the fluids are flowed (which sets the peak power capacity), and the chemical storage tanks (which set the energy capacity)—may be independently sized. Thus the amount of energy that can be stored is limited only by the size of the tanks. The design permits larger amounts of energy to be stored at lower cost than with traditional batteries.

By contrast, in solid-electrode batteries, such as those commonly found in cars and mobile devices, the power conversion hardware and energy capacity are packaged together in one unit and cannot be decoupled. Consequently they can maintain peak discharge power for less than an hour before being drained, and are therefore ill suited to store intermittent renewables.

“Our studies indicate that one to two days' worth of storage is required for making solar and wind dispatchable through the electrical grid,” said Aziz.

To store 50 hours of energy from a 1-megawatt power capacity wind turbine (50 megawatt-hours), for example, a possible solution would be to buy traditional batteries with 50 megawatt-hours of energy storage, but they'd come with 50 megawatts of power capacity. Paying for 50 megawatts of power capacity when only 1 megawatt is necessary makes little economic sense.

For this reason, a growing number of engineers have focused their attention on flow battery technology. But until now, flow batteries have relied on chemicals that are expensive or difficult to maintain, driving up the energy storage costs.

The active components of electrolytes in most flow batteries have been metals. Vanadium is used in the most commercially advanced flow battery technology now in development, but its cost sets a rather high floor on the cost per kilowatt-hour at any scale. Other flow batteries contain precious metal electrocatalysts such as the platinum used in fuel cells.

The new flow battery developed by the Harvard team already performs as well as vanadium flow batteries, with chemicals that are significantly less expensive, and with no precious metal electrocatalyst.

“The whole world of electricity storage has been using metal ions in various charge states but there is a limited number that you can put into solution and use to store energy, and none of them can economically store massive amounts of renewable energy,” Gordon said. “With organic molecules, we introduce a vast new set of possibilities . Some of them will be terrible and some will be really good. With these quinones we have the first ones that look really good.”

Aspuru-Guzik noted that the project is very well aligned with the White House Materials Genome Initiative. “This project illustrates what the synergy of high-throughput quantum chemistry and experimental insight can do,” he said. “In a very quick time period, our team honed in to the right molecule. Computational screening, together with experimentation, can lead to discovery of new materials in many application domains.”

Quinones are abundant in crude oil as well as in green plants. The molecule that the Harvard team used in its first quinone-based flow battery is almost identical to one found in rhubarb. The quinones are dissolved in water, which prevents them from catching fire.

To back up a commercial wind turbine, a large storage tank would be needed, possibly located in a below-grade basement, said co-lead author Michael Marshak, a postdoctoral fellow at SEAS and in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Or if you had a whole field of turbines or large solar farm, you could imagine a few very large storage tanks.

The same technology could also have applications at the consumer level, Marshak said. “Imagine a device the size of a home heating oil tank sitting in your basement. It would store a day’s worth of sunshine from the solar panels on the roof of your house, potentially providing enough to power your household from late afternoon, through the night, into the next morning, without burning any fossil fuels.”

Team leader Aziz said the next steps in the project will be to further test and optimize the system that has been demonstrated on the bench top and bring it toward a commercial scale. “So far, we've seen no sign of degradation after more than 100 cycles, but commercial applications require thousands of cycles,” he said. He also expects to achieve significant improvements in the underlying chemistry of the battery system. “I think the chemistry we have right now might be the best that’s out there for stationary storage and quite possibly cheap enough to make it in the marketplace,” he said. “But we have ideas that could lead to huge improvements.”

By the end of the three-year development period, Connecticut-based Sustainable Innovations, LLC, a collaborator on the project, expects to deploy demonstration versions of the organic flow battery contained in a unit the size of a horse trailer. The portable, scaled-up storage system could be hooked up to solar panels on the roof of a commercial building, and electricity from the solar panels could either directly supply the needs of the building or go into storage and come out of storage when there’s a need. Sustainable Innovations anticipates playing a key role in the product’s commercialization by leveraging its ultra-low cost electrochemical cell design and system architecture already under development for energy storage applications.

“You could theoretically put this on any node on the grid,” Aziz said. “If the market price fluctuates enough, you could put a storage device there and buy electricity to store it when the price is low and then sell it back when the price is high. In addition, you might be able to avoid the permitting and gas supply problems of having to build a gas-fired power plant just to meet the occasional needs of a growing peak demand.”

This technology could also provide very useful backup for off-grid rooftop solar panels—an important advantage considering some 20 percent of the world’s population does not have access to a power distribution network.

William Hogan, Raymond Plank Professor of Global Energy Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, and one of the world’s foremost experts on electricity markets, is helping the team explore the economic drivers for the technology.

Trent M. Molter, President and CEO of Sustainable Innovations, LLC, provides expertise on implementing the Harvard team’s technology into commercial electrochemical systems.

“The intermittent renewables storage problem is the biggest barrier to getting most of our power from the sun and the wind,” Aziz said. “A safe and economical flow battery could play a huge role in our transition off fossil fuels to renewable electricity. I'm excited that we have a good shot at it.”

In addition to Aziz, Marshak, Aspuru-Guzik, and Gordon, the co-lead author of the Nature paper was Brian Huskinson, a graduate student with Aziz; coauthors included research associate Changwon Suh and postdoctoral researcher Süleyman Er in Aspuru-Guzik’s group; Michael Gerhardt, a graduate student with Aziz; Cooper Galvin, a Pomona College undergraduate; and Xudong Chen, a postdoctoral fellow in Gordon’s group.

Another potash project has unfortunately slipped through our trawl of world potash and phosphate projects.

Yara is to increase its interest in Ethiopotash to 51% and take over management control. Private group XLR will hold the balance.

Ethiopotash has a project in the Dallol depression in Ethiopia, but where in relation to Allana Potash (AAA-TSX), Ethiopian Potash (FED-TSX-V) and Sainik Coal Mining (a private Indian group) projects is not yet clear.

According to Yara, drilling activity at Ethiopotash started at site in 2010, and most drilling and drilling related activities have now been completed. The project development phase will be finalised with a Definitive Bankable Feasibility Study which is expected to be completed in mid 2013. This study will be the basis for a decision on whether to proceed with project execution and realisation, with production start-up 2-3 years thereafter. Estimated capacity for the Ethiopotash Dallol project is 1-1.5 million tons potash per year, with resources of more than 30 years mining.

Let’s hope they don’t intend to use the road to Djibouti, with 1 million tonnes per annum each planned to come from Allana and Sainik, it is already at potential capacity.

Zitat von Popeye82: Africa’s "Nascent" Potash Industry "Gets Big-Time Investor Attention" - AKI - Aug 9, 2013

- Dana Sanchez -
http://afkinsider.com/15923/potash/

"Low prices for potash could increase demand in emerging markets, especially Africa, where food consumption patterns are changing as population growth and increased urbanization alter diets and boost demand for grain, according to a Reuters report.

Companies exploring Africa’s emerging potash regions – the Republic of Congo to the west and Ethopia and Eritrea to the east – say an expected drop in prices could benefit those with lower costs and high ore grades, even if it means output cuts in established mining regions such as Canada.




Potash is the common name for various mined and manufactured salts that contain potassium in water-soluble form. It is used mostly for fertilizer.

Africa’s nascent potash industry, often enjoying low costs and shallow deposits while standing to benefit from fast growth in local demand, expects to withstand the drop in prices better than emerging rivals, the report said.

The collapse last week of one of two global potash cartels is expected to take about 25 percent off prices, prompting questions over the future of projects such as BHP Billiton’s $14 billion Jansen and the K+S Legacy mine – both in Canada.

Small miners and explorers have taken a hit on their shares, and financing, already tough, has become tougher, the report said.

“We are talking about world potash prices coming down as low as under $300,” said Ed Marlow, CEO of African Potash, which is working on the early stage Lake Dinga project in the Republic of Congo. ”If you are producing under $100 a tonne, there are still very good margins. There is not a lot that makes that sort of margin.”

Ethiopia faces greater challenges than Congo, due to a longer distance from mines to port, but Ethiopia’s Mines Minister Sinkenesh Ejigu is optimistic about the industry.

“We are going to have potash as a commodity in addition to gold, tantalum and gemstones,” he said.

Twelve countries produce most of the world’s potash. Canada, Russia and Belarus dominate globally.

Africa won’t begin producing significant amounts of potash before 2016 or 2017, the report said. By then it can hope prices will be stable or rising as more of the world’s population seeks more and better food.

Africa’s potash industry will rely on low costs for success, according to the report.

Africa’s new mines will initially be set up to export but increasing domestic demand will be vital to bring in investment.

This prospect has already attracted the attention of investors such as Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, Brazilian entrepreneur and former CEO of Vale, Roger Agnelli, and even industry heavyweights like fertilizer group Yara, which has a stake in an Ethiopian project.

One forecast shows African potash usage could rise to between 3 million and 7 million tonnes by 2020, from demand of less than 1 million now.

Congo stands to cash in on its logistical advantage – deposits 20 km to 100 km from the port of Pointe Noire, compared with distances of 1,700 km and more for certain mines in Canada. "

New private equity with a 'difference' has $750.000.000 firepower, for mining - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Feb 7, 2014

- T. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/new-private-equity-with-a-diffe…

"A new class of private equity, with a deeper understanding of mining’s needs, was officially launched last week with $750-million to deploy in the mining space.

London-based Appian Capital Advisory, founded by former JP Morgan mining team member Michael Scherb, spoke to Mining Weekly Online on the sidelines of the Investing in African Mining Indaba in Cape Town.

Appian’s ten-year fund intends investing at a rate of $150-million a year for the next three years.

“We launched last week officially. It’s new and we’re pretty excited,” Scherb commented.

The fund’s maiden investment is in a near-term gold producer in Colombia and announcements on two more transactions are expected in the next few months.

Scherb’s Appian team has the combined past experience of having developed more than 60 mines and managed transactions totalling some $200-billion.

Targeted now, at a time when traditional forms of mining funding have dried up and newer ways of financing are being introduced, are small-to-medium opportunities in Africa, Latin America and North America.

“You’ll see a different class of private equity emerging from more specialist investment houses, with people who understand mining and who allocate capital appropriately .

“Our strategy is very different. It’s not simply new capital springing up. It’s new capital plus a very deep operating team,” Scherb told Mining Weekly Online.

One of mining’s problems is that the hedge fund investments of the past have expected short-term redemptions.

In sharp contrast, Appian has taken long-term capital from pension plans and long-term investors allowing it to provide long-term capital to what is a long-term business.

However, because the junior mining sector is not only under capitalised but also under skilled, Appian has drawn in former Anglo American stalwart Tony Redman, one-time Anglo Platinum, De Beers and AngloGold executive Robin Mills and ex-Rio Tinto Exploration GM Jos Haumann to underpin its investment banking team that includes former JP Morgan MD Verne Grinstead and Bain Capital Private Equity Europe co-founder Vincent Jacheet.

“It’s not just capital. Every investment comes with a Redman, a Mills and a Haumann,” Scherb added.

Appian has full discretion on where it will invest and has decided to give iron-ore, uranium, diamonds, bauxite and nickel wide berths.

It is prepared to ride both the up cycles and the down cycles for the few correct, select long-term assets, which it will seek to move up the value curve.

It sees opportunities for dividend streaming and its exits will range from straight sales to mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings.

It will pick up listed and unlisted assets in a 60%/40% split, taking up to 20% shareholdings in listed entities and higher percentages of private companies with assets that are able to generate near-term positive cash flow.

The Appian Natural Resources Fund is a signatory to the United Nations-backed principles for responsible investment and is committed to meeting the highest international environmental, social and governance standards.

Scherb, an Austrian national who has lived and worked in six countries, started his career structuring foreign investment into Beijing, China.

At JP Morgan, he discerned an inappropriate allocation and tempo of funding to the small- and medium-sized mining segment and he has founded Appian to correct that imbalance. "

"In what can be considered giant leap towards mining minerals from the moon, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has began accepting applications from potential business partners interested in mining the moon.

The move, part of a plan unveiled in January, aims to find private financing to help its experts design and build lunar prospecting robots, the first major step required to explore Earth’s natural satellite for valuable resources.

Unlike some loaded business figures who have set up their own space mining endeavours, NASA only counts on a budget set by the US government, which has refused to provide any further funding for the so called Lunar Cargo Transportation and Landing by Soft Touchdown (Lunar CATALYST) initiative.

In a teleconference late last month, Jason Crusan, director of NASA's advanced exploration systems, said business partners could support commercial activities on the moon while enabling new science and exploration missions of interest to NASA and the larger scientific and academic communities.

Experts claim space mining is a necessity as many metals that underpin our modern economy are quickly being depleted. Without any new technological advances, metals like zinc and gold are expected to run out in 100 years, they claim.

But the road ahead doesn’t look easy. In fact, a study from Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics published last month highlights just how problematic this space mining/travelling business could be. "

Toshiba "Develops 'eXtremely Low Leakage SRAM'(XLL SRAM), Which Enables Lower Power MCU to Fast Wake-up from a Deep Sleep Mode" - FP/BW/TB - Feb 12, 2014
www.financialpost.com/markets/news/Toshiba+Develops+eXtremel…

"Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it has developed an eXtremely Low Leakage 65nm SRAM (XLL SRAM) suitable for back-up RAM in low power MCU that achieves a fast wake-up time from a deep sleep mode.

Toshiba presented this development at the 2014 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, California, on February 11.

There is strong demand for long battery discharge times in low power systems, including wearable devices, healthcare tools and smart meter. Although there are many challenges to reduce power of MCU used in these systems, with advances in the process generation, increasing of leakage current becomes problem as well as active power consumption. Reducing leakage current in RAM, which retains data during stand-by, is particularly important.

A typical MCU reduces power dissipation with a deep sleep mode, where stand-by current is under 1μA. However, this makes it impossible for typical SRAM to retain data, as SRAM require a stand-by current much higher than 1μA. As a result, data reloading takes a long time when the system wakes up from a deep-sleep mode. Use of FRAM as back-up RAM eliminates this reload problem, but FRAM is much slower and consumes more active power than SRAM and also needs more process cost.

Toshiba has developed an eXtremely Low Leakage SRAM (XLL SRAM) that has a leakage rate a thousand times lower than that of conventional SRAM; 27fA leakage current per bit when fabricated in 65nm process. This level is lower than that found in published data for SRAM beyond 65nm technology. The new SRAM can retain data for over 10 years with a single battery charge, in a back-up memory with a capacity of around 100Kbyte.

MOSFET fabricated with recent process technology has higher gate leakage, gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) and channel leakage. Toshiba has developed a low leakage transistor with thick gate oxide, long channel length and optimum source drain diffusion profile to reduce these leakage factors, and adopt it in the SRAM memory cell. The company has developed several innovative leakage reduction circuits. One is a source bias circuit to apply reverse back-bias to NMOS of memory cell, and another cuts off the supply voltage to peripheral circuits during data retention.

The low leakage transistor is larger than conventional transistor, increasing the overall cell area. Toshiba secured a 20% reduction in cell size compared to area designed by original design rule of this device under the condition of 1.2V supply voltage. Generally, large transistor circuits have higher active power dissipation. Toshiba has suppressed this by adopting “Quarter Array Activation Scheme (QAAS)” and “Charge Shared Hierarchical BitLine (CSHBL)” power reduction circuits.

An SRAM with a 7ns read access time is fast enough to be used as working RAM in low power MCU and for use as back-up RAM in deep-sleep mode because of its extremely low leakage current. As the system eliminates data reloading, the wake-up time from deep sleep mode is boosted.

Toshiba plans to use the SRAM in a product released in 2014, and expects to see wide use in coming battery-driven products.

"China's State Council has set grain output targets below domestic consumption rates, effectively abandoning its long-standing grain self-sufficiency policy, Financial Times reported.

The guidelines call for grain production to “stabilize” at roughly 550m tonnes by 2020, below the 2013 harvest of 602m tonnes. “While putting emphasis on food quantity, pay more attention to food safety and quality,” a document said, in a shift in tone and emphasis. A more liberal grains import policy was floated as a reform that might be adopted by President Xi Jinping, even before he became head of the Communist party in 2012. "

World Bank " "eyes" $1.000.000.000 African 'resource mapping fund', in July" - MW/R/WB - Feb 5, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/world-bank-eyes-1bn-african-res…

" The World Bank wants to launch a $1-billion fund in July to map the mineral resources of Africa, using satellites and airborne surveys to fill geological gaps across the continent where a lack of adequate data hampers mining investments.

The World Bank has committed $200-million to the five-year fund, and was meeting with mining companies and governments from sub-Saharan Africa who have expressed interest, a senior bank official told Reuters on Wednesday.

"Times are tough, so the mining companies are counting their pennies, but there is a lot of interest because it is exactly when commodity prices are low and the companies are reducing their investment budgets that having the information to guide their priorities is valuable," said Paulo de Sa, senior manager at the World Bank's mining unit.

De Sa met with 10 mining companies on the sidelines of an African mining conference, including Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Mines, who were interested in the fund.

Initially targeting southern and eastern Africa, De Sa said the fund would aim to collate existing data onto a single, digital platform that would be accessible to the public.

Besides helping to guide exploration investment, African governments could benefit by being able to negotiate better deals when handing concessions to mining companies, he said.

"If they know what they have in their territory, they are in a better position to fine-tune and calibrate the fiscal regime and mining laws," De Sa said.

When Mozambique, for example, privatised its giant Moatize coal mine, it did not know the true potential of the coal basin until Brazilian miner Vale started exploration work.

De Sa said the bank, which has received expressions of interest from Malawi and Mozambique to assist with geological mapping, hoped to identify copper prospectivity in Zambia, Africa's top producer of the metal.

"There is a lot more copper in Zambia than what is known, so we hope to identify the areas with more prospectivity and then the government will be able to attract more investment to areas because they know there will be a lot more certainty, a lot less risk," he said.

The data could also be used by governments when planning infrastructure development or water resource allocations.

De Sa said the mapping fund hoped to unearth up to $1-trillion worth of new mineral resources on the continent. "

Zambia-focused Zambezi Resources "commits to 'green copper mine' "; ASX-listed junior Zambezi Resources this week "committed to develop its 100%-owned Kangaluwi copper project, into "the world’s greenest copper mine", while generating local jobs +improving livelihoods" - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Feb 10, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/zambia-focused-zambezi-resource…

"ASX-listed junior Zambezi Resources this week committed to develop its 100%-owned Kangaluwi copper project into “the world’s greenest copper mine” while generating local jobs and improving livelihoods.

The exploration and mining company aimed to work with local communities and environmentalists to ensure the conservation of the Lower Zambezi National Park and development of the “cleanest, greenest and safest copper mine ever built”, Zambezi Resources MD Frank Vanspeybroeck said.

The project, which spanned 245 km2 – including the 11 km2 proposed openpit operation – of the 4 092 km2 Lower Zambezi National Park, received the green light from the Zambia government for the project’s environmental-impact statement (EIS) to take the project to the bankable feasibility study (BFS) stage.

Lauding the Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, which had overturned the Zambia Environmental Management Agency’s (Zema’s) rejection of the EIS, Zambezi Resources chairperson David Vilensky said the Zambian government allowed the Kangaluwi copper project to proceed within the national park as part of its revised Mineral Resources Development Policy.

“[The policy] seeks to strike a fair balance between the benefits of mining and the protection of the environment and wildlife conservation. Provided its policies and laws are respected and adhered to, such investments will create employment opportunities for ordinary Zambians,” he said.

The project, 35 km from the Zambezi river, aimed to create an initial 500 jobs for the people living in the surrounding area, with the company working closely with the region’s supportive traditional leaders to improve livelihoods and bring economic development to the area.

Vilensky acknowledged the importance of conserving the environment, particularly in a sensitive area such as the Lower Zambezi National Park.

“We share the concerns of those who have so vocally expressed their opposition to the project.

“For this reason, we are keen to engage with local environmentalists to ensure we can achieve a win-win situation: bringing jobs and prosperity to local communities while protecting – and indeed enhancing – the flora and fauna of the area,” he averred.

The construction and development of the mine was subject to strict conditions issued and monitored by Zema to ensure total compliance with the Environment Management Act of 2011. "

"Energia Minerals Limited (ASX: EMX) has increased the JORC compliant inferred resource estimate at the Carley Bore deposit in the Nyang Uranium project to 13 million tonnes at 320 ppm U3O8 for 9.2 million pounds of U3O8.

This is a 23% increase in contained uranium at a 100ppm cut off compared to the July 2010 resource.

The updated resource has resulted in an increased exploration target of 15 – 25 million pounds at 300 – 500 ppm U3O8. "

"China’s trade data for January showed unexpected strong export and import growth, beating economists’ predictions but the data, published by the Customs Bureau on Wednesday, raised concerns over large inflows through inflated trade deals, South China Morning Post reported.

Exports grew to 10.6% year-on-year from a 4.3% year-on-year in December. Imports grew faster than 8.3% in the previous month. China’s trade surplus grew to US$31.86 billion from US$29 billion a year earlier. Liu Ligang, head of Greater China economy at ANZ Bank, said, “The surge in exports is likely a result of large inflows of hot money into the mainland betting on yuan appreciation." "

South Africa "needs to beneficiate more , of its mineral resources" - MR/dti/DMR - Feb 7, 2014

- K. Jansen -
ww.miningreview.com/south-africa-needs-to-beneficiate-more-o…

"South African delegates attending the Mining Indaba Investment Promotion workshop in Cape Town were encouraged to beneficiate more of the country’s mineral resources in order to create jobs and drive enhanced revenue creation. The Investment Promotion workshop was organised by the Department of Trade and industry (the dti) in conjunction with the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).

Addressing investors and South African mining representatives during the workshop, the Chief Director of Investment Promotion at the dti, Yunus Hoosen said the push for industrialisation by government was done through the beneficiation strategy and the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP).

“Industrialisation is outlined in the country’s medium-term growth plan, the New Growth Path (NGP), which identifies mineral beneficiation as part of job drivers, and one of the six key sectors for creating five million new jobs by 2020,” said Hoosen.

Hoosen added that South Africa still export most of its minerals as semi-processed minerals rather than high value intermediate to finished products.

The Chief Executive Officer of Brand South Africa, Mr Miller Matola urged delegates to take advantage of all investment opportunities offered in the mining industry and other sectors.

“South Africa is making huge investments in skills development which will help drive the economy and create sustainable jobs,” said Matola.

Matola highlighted that South Africa, like any other country has challenges, but it is how South Africa chooses to respond to these challenges that matters. "

Sunlabob "Delivers, by Bringing Energy +Light to the Developing World" - CT/ETP - Feb 8, 2014

- W. Wang -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/08/sunlabob-delivers-by…

"Picture this. You’re living in a rural area of a developing country. The nearest major town or city is a couple hours away. The community that you are living in does not have electricity. Proper sanitation might also be lacking. Once the sun goes down, that’s it. No more lights. For billions of people around the world, this is a reality. Makes you think.

Sunlabob, a company based in Laos is helping to create a new reality for these rural areas by bringing renewable energy and clean water solutions to these communities. Founded in Laos in 2000-2001, co-founder Andy Schroeter, who was working in a remote province of Laos, saw the need for rural electrification in a local village and saw a business opportunity.

During Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, I sat down with Evan Scandling, Director of Communications at Sunlabob to discuss where Sunlabob has been and where they are going.

The company has been an innovator in developing market based rural electrification models where Sunlabob acted as a micro-utility providing electricity to local villages. The company also introduced solutions using solar lanterns where you would have a central charging station with 30-50 lanterns and the company would train a local entrepreneur to maintain the battery, clean the panels, and in general run the business of renting out lanterns to local villagers. This worked in small scale.

For many of these early projects, Sunlabob self-financed the capital costs and according to Evan, as the projects scaled up, the challenges were magnified. Evan noted that it was a tricky equation where one piece can alter the model. For example, if a rainy season did not yield enough rain, villagers might not harvest enough rice, which means they don’t have enough income to rent the lanterns.

In 2009, the company won a successful won a World Bank tender for 6,500 solar home systems. According to Evan, this represented an opportunity to leverage Sunlabob’s prior experience in rural electrification. As a result of the World Bank tender and other successful bids, the company was able to boost revenue and allow the company breathing room to continue its fee for service model. The company is now working in 20 countries including Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar.

The company is looking now towards partnering with an anchor client, for example base tower operators for telecommunications base stations in Myanmar. Conceptually, Sunlabob would act as a private energy operator for base towers where the traditional solution is diesel generation. The company developed a concept that combines solar panels and diesel backup for the base stations. Sunlabob hopes to be able to size the system to allow excess energy to be channeled to a nearby community.

The Company also announced in Abu Dhabi that it will join the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) “Coalition for Action to Bolster Public Support for Renewable Energy.” According to Evan, Sunlabob views this partnership as an “opportunity to build public awareness and demystify myths of [renewable energy] in the developing world.”

The needs of the developing world are many. Innovators like Sunlabob are proving that solutions to meet the varied needs of rural communities can work and provide hope for a better life. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Mining in Space – The "Next Frontier"?, Off-Earth mining "is no longer science fiction. Pacific Rim countries lead the way"; Given the competition for REEs, the mining of abundant REE reserves on the Moon +on Near Earth "Asteroids(NEA) is awaiting the development of infrastructure +logistics. Space stations are a central component of such an enterprise, +extra-terrestrial mining on the Moon and NEAs is "likely to be realized by the year 2050 " " - TD - Jul 16, 2013

SpaceX's Elon Musk " "predicts" 'super heavy Mars colony' launch vehicles, in 10 years " - UT/SX/CBS/NASA - Feb 4, 2014

"SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is a huge fan of Mars exploration and Mars colonies, and in a new interview he says a launch system to send people to the Red Planet could be available in 10 to 12 years. Requirements: it has to be big, and it has to be launched frequently to send millions of people and
tons of cargo spaceward.

“We need to develop a much larger vehicle, which would be a sort of Mars colonial transport system, and this would be, we’re talking about rockets on a bigger scale than has ever been done before. It will make the Apollo moon rocket look small ,” said Musk in a recent CBS interview, referring to the 363-foot (110-meter) behemoth that was the Saturn V.

In the short term, Musk said he is focused on making a crew transportation system that will reduce NASA’s reliance on Soyuz vehicles to bring astronauts into space (a situation that arose in 2011 after the agency retired the shuttle.) SpaceX is one of three companies funded by NASA to develop a spacecraft able to launch people (with the other two being Boeing and Sierra Nevada.)

Musk said SpaceX’s Dragon should be ready to do that in a couple of years. Meanwhile, there are abort tests to perform and other steps this year to get the spacecraft ready for that milestone.

Check out the entire Musk interview on the CBS website. Naturally, he doesn’t have the only vision for human Mars exploration out there, as private ventures Mars One and Inspiration Mars demonstrate.

Zitat von Popeye82: PyroGenesis' Canada - "Novel Steam Plasma Arc "SPARC" Destruction System exceeds 99.9999% Commercial Destruction of Ozone Depleting Substances", a "10x greater Destruction Efficiency as compared to the current requirement"; Of note, "certain ODS's generate 10.000 times more Green House Gases, when compared to CO2 emissions"; Gillian Holcroft: "Because ODS's are acknowledged to be "some of the most difficult substances to destroy", the ability to achieve >99.9999% destruction is "a key milestone +puts PyroGenesis ahead of the curve, in an increasingly regulated industry." The use of a steam plasma torch "allows for increased destruction capabilities +now enables PyroGenesis to efficiently +safely destroy an array of other hazardous "difficult to manage" chemicals" " - Nov 13, 2013

Zitat von Popeye82: PyroGenesis "Contracted by "Global Oil &Gas Company" to "Develop Game Changing Plasma Based Process" "; Gillian Holcroft: "Plasma based processes are "unique in that we can achieve extremely high temperatures, without the use of fossil fuels." This flexibility "allows PyroGenesis +its Client to "explore" cost effective, environmentally friendly +state of the art "approaches" for Oil +Gas processing." "Once " the process is proven on a pilot scale the next step will be an on-site commercial demonstration @the Client's industrial operation."; PyroGenesis will design, deliver +test a high temperature plasma based process, "which eventually would be integrated into the Client's existing oil +gas process", which will be completed in ~6 months; P. Peter Pascali: "We "are proud to be associated with an organization who is recognized as a leading developer of energy resources around the world +who does so in an environmentally responsible manner." We appreciate the confidence our client has shown in our engineering team +our technology." This contract "further demonstrates PyroGenesis' ability to leverage its core competencies to develop novel plasma-based solutions." The "successful commercialization of this process "will" " generate revenues in excess of 100.000.000 dollars to PyroGenesis, while @the same time providing our customer with significant competitive advantages" " - Nov 18, 2013

Zitat von Popeye82: PyroGenesis 'highlighted as "one of the key technology providers" on the world's most advanced High Tech Air Craft Carrier', the USS Gerald Ford(CVN-78) carrier was christened two weeks ago +is "the 1st of the most advanced class of aircraft carriers ever built" with the last carrier being delivered over 10 years ago. PyroGenesis' patented Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System(PAWDS) was highlighted as "one of the key advanced technologies featured on this "state of the art vessel" "; P. P. Pascali: "This is "indeed a great moment not only for PyroGenesis, but Canada as a whole. " To have our technology highlighted as the "green technology of choice, on one of the most advanced technology platforms in the world " is "clearly a defining moment for Canada"; akin to the deployment of the CanadaArm on the International space station. This is the 1st new aircraft carrier class since the USS Nimitz in `68, +America's 1st new carrier of any kind, since the USS George H.W. Bush was completed in `03. The USS Gerald R. Ford is the "1st-of-its-class carrier, ushering in an era of high-tech aircraft carriers." So far two of Pyrogenesis' PAWDS systems have been ordered, but if the Nimitz-class carriers +Enterprise were to be replaced on a one-for-one basis, eleven carriers would be required over the life of the program, representing a revenue stream to PyroGenesis of @least $50.000.000, +this does not include revenues from PAWDS land based applications", G. Holcroft: "PyroGenesis' system was "chosen in a highly competitive environment; its design is five times smaller +half the weight of a conventional marine incinerator." The launch of the USS Gerald Ford "reaffirms PAWDS as a "proven +state of the art solution for waste management, +underscores PyroGenesis' ability to handle extremely complex/hazardous waste challenges, that no other technology can contend with." As such PyroGenesis is expanding the use of PAWDS as a mobile land based waste destruction solution for hazardous liquid +gaseous wastes" - Nov 26, 2013

www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2014/02/11/acore-nascar-lockh…

"In Virginia, NASCAR, Lockheed Martin and the American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) announced a multi-year partnership that designates the Washington, D.C.-based non-profit as NASCAR’s newest Official Green Partner. NASCAR is the sanctioning body for the No. 1 form of motorsports in the United States.

Sponsored by Lockheed Martin, ACORE will activate its NASCAR partnership with selected at-track activities in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Daytona International Speedway in July; Chicagoland Speedway in September; and Kansas Speedway in October. ACORE will provide educational tools about renewable energy and sustainability and an on-site membership registration. ACORE will also play a role in NASCAR’s month-long Race To Green Campaign in April, which will highlight the accomplishments of green programs that NASCAR, the industry and a wide range of partners have in place to help reduce the environmental impact of the sport.

The sponsorship aims to promote careers in the renewable energy community writ large by highlighting the life-long value of studying science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in order to build a strong, secure, economically viable and sustainable future.

ACORE will include technology shared by ACORE members—such as solar panels, biofuel demonstrations and wind turbine models—in the display booth at the NASCAR race tracks to demonstrate how renewable energy technology works, and why the public should be excited about it. By leveraging the expertise and vast knowledge base of ACORE’s members, ACORE will provide fact-based renewable energy education to a new audience and excite youth about pursuing a career in the industry.

In an effort to support college-aged students, Lockheed Martin and ACORE will create a summer fellowship program for students interested in pursuing a career in alternative energy, renewable energy or energy efficiency. The fellowships are in development and are scheduled to begin in the summer of 2015.

On the renewable energy front, NASCAR surpassed five million competition miles last year across its three national series on Sunoco Green E15, a biofuel blended with 15 percent ethanol made from American-grown corn. A study commissioned by NASCAR and conducted by Toluna in 2013 shows avid NASCAR fans are nearly +50% more likely than non-fans to understand ethanol is a renewable resource. NASCAR also has the largest renewable energy stadium project in the world, Pocono Raceway, which powers more than 250 homes in the region.

“America has always thrived on innovation and grit, and the renewable energy industry in particular has had dramatic successes, building up a new energy infrastructure, and bringing down costs in a short period of time,” said ACORE CEO and President, Michael Brower. “Through the educational outreach of this partnership, we want to ensure the next generation of skilled workers in renewable energy is well equipped to create a more prosperous American future built on clean, renewable energy.” "

Mining industry "supports federal government's 'goal', to return to surplus" - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Feb 13, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/mining-industry-supports-federa…

"The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) on Wednesday said the country’s mining industry supported the federal government’s continued progress towards a balanced budget, with a larger-than-expected surplus expected for 2015/16.

The association cited Canada's long-standing fiscal discipline as having helped the country to weather the global economic crisis better than other industrialised nations, keeping interest rates and unemployment low.

A return to balanced budgets is critical to Canada preserving its long-term economic advantage.

The Canadian mining industry lauded the federal government's extension of the 15% mineral exploration tax credit for another year, an important tax incentive for the junior exploration sector. Its renewal is critical at this time, given the continued challenging economic environment faced by Canada's junior mining sector.

The Canadian mining industry was also encouraged by the budget's focus on improving the education outcomes of Aboriginal youth through an agreement with the Assembly of First Nations to reform the First Nations K-12 education system through the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act.

This announcement represented a financial commitment of more than $1.9-billion over three years starting in 2016 to support the Act, which aims to give First Nations youth greater access to quality education and enable them to participate fully in Canada's workforce in the future.

"The Canadian mining industry is one of the largest employers of Aboriginal people across the country and the potential to increase employment is strong given the proximity of nearly 1 200 Aboriginal communities to producing and potential mining operations.

Getting the education system right for Aboriginal Canadians is critical as it provides the necessary foundation for them to become full participants in Canada's workforce,” MAC president and CEO Pierre Gratton said.

Canada’s mining industry is the top-paying industrial sector in the country, and the largest private-sector employer of Aboriginal people in the country. "

"A large majority of Americans — 83 percent — say the U.S. should make an effort to reduce global warming, even if those efforts have economic costs, according to a new report from the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication.

As many as 56 percent of Americans would be willing to pay an extra $100 each year if their power company would generate 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. Corporations and industry should be doing more to stave off climate change, according to 65 percent of people interviewed in a national survey, and 61 percent believe individual citizens should also be taking a more active role.

Many of the survey’s findings are similar across Democratic and Republican party lines. Tax rebates for energy-efficient vehicles and solar panels are popular among people aligned with both parties, for example, as well as funding renewable energy research and regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant. And people from both parties are generally supportive of ending all fossil fuel subsidies, although Democrats (67 percent) are more supportive of that policy than Republicans (52 percent). "

"The People’s Bank of China on Thursday published rules governing investment by wealth management products (WMPs) in the country’s interbank bond market, Reuters reported.

The new rules, posted on the website , of the central bank-backed National Interbank Funding Center, aim to curb the risks posed by banks’ off-balance-sheet business by forcing them to strictly segregate on- and off-balance-sheet assets. WMPs are short-term investment products that banks market to customers as higher-yielding alternatives to traditional deposits. At the end of September, outstanding bank WMPs were RMB 9.9 trillion (US$1.63 trillion), according to China's bank regulator. "

"Sales of sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) outside of North America will surge 40% over the next four years, part of which will be driven by China, Ford's (F.NYSE) global sales and marketing chief Jim Farley said, The Wall Street Journal reported.

In China, the world's largest new-car market, SUV sales are booming. Ford's market share in SUVs in China was 0.3% in 2012 and grew to 5% in 2013, after the company started selling the Kuga, Explorer and EcoSport. The introduction of fuel-efficient, smaller utility vehicles by Ford, Honda Motors (HMC.NYSE, 7267.TYO) and Renault-Nissan have caused a surge in demand in India, Brazil, China and even Europe. "

"Still waiting for the helicopter market to take off, in China"; Chris Jaran, managing director China for Bell Helicopter, talks about restricted airspace and how significant market growth is coming - CER, Q&A - Feb 12, 2014

- C. Saran -
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65230

"Crossing China, a vast and geographically challenging country, has never been an easy task for its people, officials or rescue workers. Listen to executives from the helicopter industry and they are convinced they have the answer. But while they are making some sales here, the Chinese market for whirlybirds remains small.

Laws, regulations and military restrictions have combined to limit growth in the country, concedes Chris Jaran, managing director of China for Texas-based Bell Helicopter. However, he believes the next 10 years will see “significant growth.”

In an interview with China Economic Review, Jaran explains how Bell Helicopter is preparing to serve the market by training Chinese helicopter pilots and maintenance crews, and how one day the company might assemble aircraft in China.



- The Bell 407 civil utility helicopter, pictured, is one Bell Helicopter's best-selling models in China -


Helicopter ownership rates in China are just a fraction of what they are in the US, Europe and even other big emerging markets. What are your growth projections for the market in the next 10 years?

We see significant growth in China in the next 10 years, but it will depend on how fast the government opens up the airspace and how quickly pilots and mechanics can be trained.


What is your share of the China helicopter market?

Bell Helicopter currently has approximately 20% of the commercial turbine helicopter market in China and we expect to see additional growth in the years to come.


What are your goals, sales and otherwise, in China for the next decade?

Bell Helicopter is looking to provide better training and spares support for our customers as well as help build the general aviation infrastructure in China.


Which market segments do you see as the fastest growing in China and in what areas do you specialise?

Due to the shortage of pilots in China, we see the helicopter training market has huge potential, especially with the SLS [short light single aircraft]. We also see potential with the Bell 525 as the energy industry grows in China.


Can you tell us about your top selling models in China, and let us know about your product positioning in this market?

Currently the Bell 407 and Bell 429 are the top selling models in China. They are mainly used for corporate and utility purposes.


What are the challenges that you face in selling to China from global peers and how are you addressing them?

In addition to adapting to the language and cultural differences, we are continually trying to streamline the sales process, and improve our spares supply, support, and training.


Like with many sectors in China, foreign companies have touted helicopters as a potentially huge market for years but progress has been slow. To what extent have your expectations been missed, and how are you planning for future growth considering your past experiences?

While we would always prefer things to happen faster, we believe we are on the right path in China and predict a large opportunity ahead. As mentioned before, a lot of this will fall on training for mechanics and pilots as well as government regulations, but we predict significant growth in the next 10 years and beyond.


Are you building or assembling more helicopters within China or are you mainly importing them? What are the main difficulties faced when importing helicopters into China?

We have had success importing helicopters over the past few years and growing our international infrastructure and sales, but we do realize a localized approach is necessary for long term success in many international markets. Our strategy in emerging markets is to first build the training and infrastructure to support the market with qualified pilots and maintainers and learn the market, then progress to completions and ultimately to final assembly.


What are the biggest differences you have noticed in buyer behaviour and requirements between China and, for example, the US or Brazil?

We are seeing customers that want multi-mission configurations that can be interchangeable, such as having corporate seating that can be removed to install a litter kit for rescue missions. This is compared to operators in North America that need dedicated configurations for HEMS [helicopter emergency medical service] and corporate missions.


A lack of helipads, air traffic control infrastructure and severe restrictions on non-military and non-commercial are often cited as major obstacles to the development of the China helicopter market. What changes are you seeing in these areas?

The recent changes by the CAAC [Civil Aviation Administration of China] to loosen airspace restrictions by the PLA [People’s Liberation Army] have certainly improved the outlook of the general aviation industry.


China has a shortage of qualified air service personnel and maintenance crews to deal with helicopters. How can this be overcome?

We believe the best way to combat this issue is direct investment in the region. For example, Guangzhou Civil Aviation College is well on its way to becoming the first authorized Bell Helicopter Maintenance Training facility in China for the Bell 206L and Bell 407 product lines.

Guangzhou College’s instructors have made significant strides in process to become a Bell Helicopter certified training facility. The required classroom theory training and associated practical assessment were completed in July at the Bell Helicopter Training Academy (BTA) in Fort Worth, Texas. Under the supervision of BTA instructors, the college completed its first Bell 206 course in Anyang, China on August 23 and its first Bell 407 course in Beijing, China on September 6. The college is procuring its first Bell model 206 training aircraft and is expected to have it ready for training by early Q3 2014.

Plans are also moving forward with Suilian Helicopter General Aviation Co., Ltd. to open a Bell Helicopter authorized flight training school. Suilian began instructor pilot training on September 16 at the Bell Helicopter Training Academy in Fort Worth, Texas. Both pilots successfully completed their Bell 206L flight instructor training. Additional training recently began for the Bell 407 model.


How much have aviation laws and regulations in China hindered the helicopter market? What impact do you see in the easing of new restrictions that came into force on December 1 as having in the short to medium term?

Easing of restrictions will accelerate the flight plan approval process, which will hopefully result in more general aviation aircraft being produced.


How do the laws, regulations and military restrictions in China compare with other big emerging markets like Brazil, India and Russia?

The government restrictions for general aviation have limited the growth for helicopters in China compared to other countries such as Brazil and Russia which already have strong infrastructure in place for commercial helicopters. However we see China eventually catching up to these countries in the future. "

SurePure Announces Commercial Deal, with 'Major Liquid Egg Producer' - Nov 6, 2013
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2013/11/06/surepure-a…


SurePure Announces Launch of Premium "Sulphur Free" Wines by Winemaker Using SurePure Technology, Neil Patterson Wines(NPW) has launched a premium range of no sulphite added wines using SurePure's patented photopurification technology. NPW employs SurePure's photopurification technology to microbiologically purify wine using ultra violet light instead of having to add sulphur-compounds to stabilise the wine. This not only provides a 'greener' alternative to traditional preservative methods, but also ensures a less harmful alternative to traditional chemical intervention for the consumer. The range of wines, which will be available @speciality wine merchants +in select restaurants, includes both younger wines as well as older, more matured wines including a 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, a 2012 Chenin Blanc, a 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, +a 2009 Merlot all sourced from single vineyards in different terroirs that are suited to the cultivars +to the particular style of wines Patterson was seeking to craft; Mr. Patterson: "We are pleased to be entering into an agreement with SurePure "as I believe there is significant market demand for a premium range, that offers high quality sulphite free wines for discerning wine drinkers who are searching for the ideal unpreserved 'green' alternative" "; According to Mr. Patterson, the range has under 10 parts per million of sulphites, which are produced naturally during fermentation, compared to the average of 80 to 120ppm normally found in wines; Steve Miller: "The launch of the Neil Patterson Wine range "marks the 1st time a full range of premium wines has been specifically tailored using the SurePure technology." It is "exciting for SurePure because it shows how a talented winemaker can use the SurePure technology as part of his wine crafting skillset, to extract the very best out of each varietal +still deliver the benefits of extraordinarily low sulphite levels to the consumer." We "believe it has pushed new boundaries for the technology +its oenological applications +with both fresh young wines +older, more matured wines under the same brand." This launch "paves the way for broader acceptance +use of the technology in the wine industry" " - Dec 3, 2013

The "SEC shouldn't forget that Beijing always wins"; US securities regulators have fought to get access to Chinese audit documents, but will likely stumble in this final attempt to assert control - CER - Feb 10, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65214

"Chinese securities regulators are showing just how averse to embarrassment and defeat they really are. Their intention to keep foreign eyes off the accounting documents of the country's firms that are listed in the US, particularly the state-owned ones, has taken Chinese companies and US investors on a wild and increasingly perilous ride since 2011.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) ruling in late January to suspend the companies that audit US-listed Chinese firms could be the beginning of the end of a several-year showdown. China's unflinching attitude toward the SECs decision shows just how much it is willing to risk to keep secrets firmly on the mainland.

The SEC has waged a slow but steady attack on US-listed Chinese firms and their auditors, namely the Chinese affiliates of Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG and Ernst & Young, collectively known as the “Big Four.” The regulator demands to review company working papers, in line with US law, to protect investors against fraud.

In May 2011, the SEC subpoenaed the working papers of Chinese firm Longtop Financial Technologies from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. The Longtop case, which the SEC had just probed for accounting irregularities, was a portent for a much larger shock to Wall Street. The New York Stock Exchange moved to delist Longtop three months later, and since then more than 100 US-listed Chinese firms have received similar treatment or simply stopped filing regulatory paperwork.

After more than a year of trying to get its hands on Chinese working papers, in early December 2012 the SEC charged all four of the accounting firms' China affiliates with violating US law. The half-year suspension of those companies issued this January was the SEC's ruling on that case, albeit not the final say as the Big Four plan to appeal.


Winners and losers

The heart of the dispute revolves around the China Securities Regulatory Commission's (CSRC) unwillingness to let US regulators see working papers from Chinese firms, followed by the reluctance of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), a body mandated by the US Congress to oversee the audits of public firms, to take real action for this severe breach of US law.

Insiders have told China Economic Review that working papers from China's state-owned firms could reveal some embarrassing details, for example the connections that the families of top Chinese leaders have to some of the country's biggest, most powerful enterprises. The literature is so sensitive that China has conveniently labelled them “state secrets.” The Big Four affiliates say their management could face time in a Chinese prison should they hand over the documents. China has come out as the easy winner in the game.

The PCAOB has made little observable headway in weeding out Chinese accounting fraud. Last May, the board signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance which allows it to request working papers if it suspects irregularities. The deal was another victory for China, allowing its companies to continue to operate without handing over the paperwork.

For the PCAOB, and US investors as a whole, it was another defeat. Experts said that after-the-fact reviews of working papers would hardly prevent fraudulent companies from taking US investors' cash.

That deal did, however, lead the SEC to drop the original 2011 charges against Deloitte just days after it issued the suspension in January. The MoU provided enough room for US regulators to gather the information they have long sought on Longtop.


End game

The SEC ruling is the first real American regulatory muscle to be flexed in the ongoing dispute. Unfortunately, the effort could be in vain – and it could hurt US companies at the same time. China isn't playing this game to lose or to be embarrassed on the international stage.

First, appeals from the Big Four will likely drag the case out for a very long time. This could help Chinese firms and their auditors continue to violate US law. Investors should know the risks.

Next, the suspension could result in the delisting of many Chinese companies depending on when it is imposed. Yet, if the Big Four affiliates are banned after they make annual regulatory filings for Chinese companies, the punishment will have little impact over the six-month period. All parties involved must be questioning what happens after the half-year stall. The next few years will be chaotic ones for investors.

“Ultimately it is the American investors and institutional managers who will take the most of the financial losses,” Junheng Li, head of research at JL Warren Capital, said in a note to investors on the prospects for a complete delisting of Chinese firms.

A six-month ban will also stop the Big Four affiliates from working on audits for multinational companies (MNCs) that do business in China, Paul Gillis, a professor of practice at Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, wrote in a blog entry. “That would increase the risk on MNCs with China operations which is not in anyone’s best interest,” Gillis said. Large foreign companies are already feeling the heat from a series of probes by Chinese regulators over the past 12 months.

Perhaps most importantly, by delisting Chinese companies, the SEC may be giving China what it wants.

China's regulators were never enthusiastic about US investors buying into mainland companies. In fact, the government still imposes strict rules that attempt to stop companies in sensitive industries from listing abroad (the companies have figured out ways around those rules). Should a suspension of the Big Four’s China affiliates result in delistings in New York, Beijing will happily welcome the firms back to the mainland.

After all, China Development Bank, a policy institution that takes orders directly from the government, put aside US$1 billion in 2012 to help buy out troubled firms on US exchanges. Despite its miserable performance, the Shanghai Stock Exchange recently reopened to IPOs after blocking new listings for longer than a year. Officials would no doubt prefer to see companies listed here than in the US.

The SEC has fought hard but will likely stumble in this final attempt to bring Chinese companies to heel. In the end, China will opt to keep its companies and its secrets well guarded at home. "

'Emigration +calming concerns'; Middle class Chinese are running out of places, to flee to - CER - Feb 13, 2014

- Graham Earnshaw -
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65243

"Deng Xiaoping crafted a slogan in the 1980s and the 1990s aimed at calming concerns about how real the changes in the country were: “reform is a fixed principle.” The nascent middle class of Shanghai and other cities of China took that and turned it into: "migration is a fixed principle" – the only way to calm your fears about China's future, the implication being, was to get out. The migration business steamed ahead, with passports, and investment visas, and property sales, and school placements, a huge business aimed at calming middle class concerns about China's future. But there are so many people in China, and the target territories for China's middle class are few in number and have a limited capacity to handle migrants. It worked for Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, and for Taiwan, but the mainland? It's just too much. Canada recognized that fact this week, when is scrapped a lax investment visa scheme to which tens of thousands mainland Chinese had applied. This will increase pressure on alternative destinations which will equally have to face the question of how many Chinese they can take. But it will also increase pressure on middle class people whose gains are relatively non-ill-gotten to accept that they will have to find ways to calm their concerns within China rather than without. Another strand to watch in the rich tapestry that is China. "

"The governments of United States and China said in a joint statement Saturday there's an "urgent need for action" on global climate change.

A statement released by the U.S. State Department in conjunction with the Chinese says the two countries recognize the "overwhelming scientific consensus" that climate change exists and is driven by the increase in burning fossil fuels.

"In light of the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change and its worsening impacts, and the related issue of air pollution from burning fossil fuels, the United States and China recognize the urgent need for action to meet these twin challenges," the statement read. "Both sides reaffirm their commitment to contribute significantly to successful 2015 global efforts to meet this challenge."

The commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions comes ahead of a bilateral summit between the two nations scheduled for this year. "

Pope Francis applauds Swedish immigration policy - UPI/SH, VATICAN CITY - Feb 15, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/02/15/pope-franc…y

"Pope Francis praised Sweden's open immigration policy and said the country should serve as an example to the world in accepting foreigners into society.

Meeting with two Argentinian-born men at the Vatican who fled to Sweden in the 1970s to avoid their country's military dictatorship, Francis said their adoptive home is the most welcoming place in the world for immigrants to live, TheLocal.se reported Saturday.

"They do not have anyone in a concentration camp and other such terrifying places," Francis said. "That's an example we can present to the world. Because in reality it is the only country that is doing that, and is not filled with misery."

Asked by the brothers whether he would visit Sweden soon, Francis said he would like to but noted there are many places in the world the pontiff had yet to see.

"I have to do so many things. I do not know. If God will give me time, I will go," he said.

The last pope to visit Sweden was John Paul II, during a 10-day trip to Nordic countries in 1989. "

U.S. Trade Agency’s China Focus Good, for Cleantech Companies - CT/USTR/GPB - Feb 12, 2014

- E. Lane -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/12/us-trade-agency-chin…

"The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is the federal agency responsible for conducting trade negotiations and developing and coordinating U.S. trade policy.

As it did last year, the USTR will again make intellectual property rights (IPR) a top priority in trade relations with China in 2014. While Hollywood movie copyrights and drug patents may be the first IPRs that come to mind, IPR in green technologies could also be heavily impacted by the USTR’s attention to China.

The copyright and trade secret dispute between American Superconductor (AMSC) and Sinovel (see, e.g., previous posts here, here, here and here), a Chinese wind turbine manufacturer, highlights the risks of doing cleantech business in China and provides an indication of what is at stake for green IPR holders.

In that case, AMSC accused Sinovel of unauthorized use of its turbine control software source code and the binary code, or upper layer, of its software for certain power converters used in its 1.5 MW turbines. AMSC alleged that Sinovel illegally used the source code to develop a software modification so Sinovel could circumvent the encryption and remove technical protection measures on the power converters.

The U.S. government – not the USTR, but the Department of Justice – got involved when it filed an indictment in federal court in Wisconsin alleging that Sinovel, two of its employees, and a former AMSC employee conspired to commit trade secret theft and criminal copyright infringement. According to the indictment, AMSC was cheated out of $800,000,000.

By tying IP to trade, The USTR may be able to obtain tangible improvements such as tougher laws and improved enforcement measures. Hopefully, this could cause a larger shift in attitude in China toward one of respect for IPR, a change that would help both US and Chinese cleantech companies.

Of course, the USTR’s bailiwick extends beyond IP, and the clean tech industry benefits from its other activities as well. Most notable, perhaps, was the joint effort of the USTR and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to enforce trade duty orders against Chinese solar panel makers engaged in unfair trade practices.

US-Chinese relations are a hot topic in cleantech. Indeed, one of the panels at this year’s UC Hastings Cleantech Roundtable is entitled “Beyond Trade Wars: Enhancing US-China Clean Tech Relations.” "

Shrinking Household Size "May Offset Progress, in Curbing Population, Study" - CT/YE360 - Feb 12, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/12/shrinking-household-…
http://csis.msu.edu/news/research-reveals-ticking-household-…

"Household size — the number of people living together under one roof — has been shrinking worldwide, and the trend could have major consequences for resource consumption, new research finds.

Although global population growth has been somewhat curbed in the developed world, the number of households has continued to grow at a much faster pace in nearly all countries, Michigan State University researchers found. Average household size in developed nations declined from approximately five members in 1893 to 2.5 in 2000, while the rapid decline in household size in developing nations began around 1987, according to the research, which analyzed trends between the years 1600 and 2000.

Smaller households are typically less efficient, with fewer people using proportionally more land, water, and energy. Constructing housing units also consumes lumber and building supplies, and generally requires building more roads and commercial areas. “This will put enormous strain on the environmental life support system we rely on, even if we achieve a state of zero population growth,” one study author said.

Green Charge Networks Uses Storage, to Smooth Out Peak Demand - CT/3BLM - Feb 12, 2014
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/12/green-charge-network…

"Although everyone enjoys the numerous benefits of electricity delivered to their home, no one likes to pay the bills. Perhaps that’s due to an intuition that energy is inherently free, or maybe we just don’t like paying bills. In fact, it’s the availability of energy that we are actually paying for, as much if not more than the energy itself.

Many people don’t understand the way electricity pricing actually works. Of course, this varies by utility. There is usually a price for energy, plus another price for energy delivery, plus a variety of taxes and fees. There is also, especially in the case of industrial and commercial customers, a demand charge, which is an additional charge for the peak amount of power required at different times of the day. Though this type of charge originated with industrial accounts, it is now becoming more popular for residential accounts as well, particularly with the advent of smart metering.

What is the rationale behind demand pricing?

The utilities explain it with a single word: capacity. They need to be able to deliver every single watt of power to every single customer at any given moment of any given day. If they fall short, the whole system could crash. When you turn on a light or start your dishwasher, you’re probably not thinking about how many other people are making demands on the system at that moment. But your electric utility would like you to. Because if you don’t that could mean they need to build another power plant, to increase their capacity. And power plants are very expensive. So they charge a fee for demand, which in states like NY and California, can amount to as much as 40% of the entire electric bill. This is done both to incentivize limit-setting (they even pay customers for demand reduction) and to help pay for new capacity.

This, of course, represents an opportunity for cost savings, an opportunity that the folks at Green Charge Networks are taking full advantage of with their smart storage solutions designed to reduce peak demand. If you have storage available, you can spread your demand out over a period of time, which is exactly what GCN’s GreenStation™ does. GCN has been installing these systems in 7-Eleven and Walgreens stores, some of which have realized cost savings of as much as 56%. This system contains a 100kW battery that is combined with solar PV panels. The result is not energy efficiency, but power efficiency, because while the total energy use stays the same, the amount of peak power is reduced, sometimes dramatically. And because a portion of the energy comes from solar, there could also be a reduction in fossil fuel consumption.

GCN, which was founded in 2009 with funding from the DOE’s Smart Grid Program, is calling power efficiency, the “new frontier.”

The company just reached a milestone of 1 MW of installed capacity. According to company information, if smart grid technologies like GreenStationTM were implemented nationally they could save the energy equivalent of 4,000 coal plants per year.

The system software works directly with the tariff schedule to control the amount of stored solar power to utilize at any given moment. This, according to the company website, “provides greater value to solar PV generation while also minimizing, or even eliminating, demand charges to bring an overall lower utility bill to the customer.”

Other players in this space, which is sometimes referred to as solar microgrids, are Solar Grid Storage, and Tesla, which recently formed a partnership with Solar City to utilize the battery technology developed for electric cars to provide short term storage for buildings. "

Smartcity Malaga achieves 25% energy savings in 5 years, Endesa finds; Over the past 5 years Smartcity Malaga has achieved a 25% saving in overall electricity consumption in the area +avoided 4.500 tonnes of CO2/anno, representing a 20% cut in emissions, Endesa has reported - M.com - Feb 17, 2014

"Over the past 5 years Smartcity Malaga has achieved a 25% saving in overall electricity consumption in the area and avoided 4,500 tonnes of CO2 per annum, representing a 20% cut in emissions, Endesa has reported.

In a new white paper covering the first five years of the initiative since its inception in 2009, Endesa presents a comprehensive overview, saying the project’s success has converted Smartcity Malaga into a real-world laboratory for developing the Enel Group’s electricity distribution technologies.

Smartcity Malaga covers 4 km2 in the Mediterranean city of Malaga, and involves some 11,000 domestic and 1,200 industrial and service customers, with the aim to demonstrate the potential of smart cities and the importance of combining technologies to be able to roll out large-scale projects.

Aspects of the project have included the deployment of an advanced metering infrastructure, renewable energy integration and storage, active demand side management, development of a management system for the efficient use of energy, and electric vehicle validation.

Specifically, industrial and service customers were able to cut their consumption thanks to the installation of energy efficiency systems using active monitoring, control and demand management. 42% of residential participants also slashed their energy consumption by 10% using home energy efficiency kits allowing them to manage their consumption using a smart phone.

The amount of power consumed by public lighting was also reduced by replacing a total of 200 street lights with low energy models – attaining energy savings of 65%.

The entire infrastructure in Smartcity Malaga was monitored through a network of 40 km of medium voltage circuits and 72 low and medium voltage centers. Twenty of these were fully automated to further boost efficiency using powerline communications (PLC).

“By coupling state of the art technologies with large scale dimensions, Smartcity Malaga represents a world milestone in the development of a new paradigm of electricity management,” writes Endesa CEO Andrea Brentan in the white paper’s preface.

Smartcity Malaga has been the work of a consortium comprising 11 companies and 14 research organizations.

The Enel-Endesa Group is now applying experiences gleaned from the project in other smart city projects, including Barcelona and El Hierro in Spain, Búzios in Brazil, and Santiago in Chile. "

Robots "have "potential" , to counteract squeezed mining margins –CSIR"[+Videol - MW/CSIR, JOHANNESBURG - Aug 23, 2013

- M. Creamer, M. Zhuwakinyu -
www.miningweekly.com/article/robots-have-potential-to-counte…

"Technology has the potential to help the profit-squeezed South African mining industry to start earning better margins again, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) novel mining methods manager Dr Jeannette McGill said last week.

McGill added that South Africa’s gold and platinum miners, in particular, had reached a crossroads similar to that of the North American copper sector in the 1960s and 1970s, when technology had to come to the rescue in the form of the solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) methodology.

“We’re definitely in challenging times, and there’s most definitely a role for technology,” said McGill, who recalls that SX-EW effec-tively engineered a second wind of life into the North American copper operations.

“I currently equate what was happening in the copper sector then to what is currently impacting on South Africa’s hard-rock mining, and what we can do is resort to a robotic mining method,” McGill told Mining Weekly.

For a variety of underground as well as aboveground risks, the margins of hard-rock miners have been squeezed exceedingly tightly at a time of the commodity cycle bottoming out.

“This is the opportunity for technology to step in and change some of the fundamentals that go into the mining equation,” said McGill, whose PhD at the Colorado School of Mines looked at the competitiveness of South Africa’s platinum sector.

Mining is researched in a variety of different units within the CSIR – South Africa’s largest parastatal research agency, which reports that most mining majors are tackling technology, either as first movers or fast followers.

The CSIR’s Centre for Mining Innovation, in Johannesburg, is the central repository and domain specialist, which involves the rest of the CSIR from an expertise capacity viewpoint.

In the short term, the centre wants to use robots to improve safety in mines.

“Our first port of call has been a safety plat-form. Where there are accidents underground, we can send in a robotic safety platform.”

In the longer term, the centre envisages sending in a robotic machine to mine narrow tabular reefs in currently inaccessible ultra-deep areas.

Narrow tabular reefs characterise the gold and platinum environments, where the reef height can be from 10 cm to 40 cm but stoping widths of 1 m and more have to be extracted to meet legal requirements. "

"China's new local-currency loans reached US$217.6 billion (RM217.6 billion) last month, the highest in about four years, Reuters reported, citing a statement by the People's Bank of China on Saturday.

The January loans of Chinese banks beat a US$180 billion forecast and were nearly three times December's level. It is usual for loans to spike in January when banks try to lend as much as they can to grab market share, but last month's surge was unusually strong. Saturday's figures may assuage those who worry about China's hazy economic outlook. following recent data that showed conflicting trends. "

Scientists 'rejuventate' stem cells in elderly mice, to repair muscles - UPI/SH, PALO ALTO - Feb 17, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/02/17/scientists…

"In an experiment with mice, U.S. scientists say they've enabled muscle recovery in elderly mice by rejuvenating stem cells within their muscle tissue.

Normal aging is accompanied by a diminished ability to regain strength and mobility after muscle injury because over time stem cells within muscle tissues dedicated to repairing damage become less able to generate new muscle fibers and struggle to self-renew, researchers at Stanford University reported Sunday.

"In the past, it's been thought that muscle stem cells themselves don't change with age, and that any loss of function is primarily due to external factors in the cells' environment," Helen Blau of the university's school of medicine said.."However, when we isolated stem cells from older mice, we found that they exhibit profound changes with age. In fact, two-thirds of the cells are dysfunctional when compared to those from younger mice, and the defect persists even when transplanted into young muscles."

However, Blau and her colleagues say they've identified for the first time a process by which the older muscle stem cell populations can be rejuvenated to function like younger cells.

"Our findings identify a defect inherent to old muscle stem cells," she said. "Most exciting is that we also discovered a way to overcome the defect. As a result, we have a new therapeutic target that could one day be used to help elderly human patients repair muscle damage."

The researchers used drugs to block elevated biological activity within the stem cells that causes them to degenerate into non-stem, muscle progenitor cells.

When transplanted back into the animal, the treated, rejuvenated stem cells migrate to their natural niches and provide a long-lasting stem cell reserve to contribute to repeated demands for muscle repair, they researchers said.

"In mice, we can take cells from an old animal, treat them for seven days -- during which time their numbers expand dramatically, as much as 60-fold -- and then return them to injured muscles in old animals to facilitate their repair," Blau said. "

After US squashes no-spy hopes, European leaders discuss ways to protect citizens’ data; German Chancellor Angela Merkel has for the 1st time thrown her weight behind plans, initially suggested by telcos, for a "communication network inside Europe", that can keep data safe from prying U.S. eyes - GO - Feb 17, 2014

- D. Meyer -
http://gigaom.com/2014/02/17/after-us-squashes-no-spy-hopes-…

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel has thrown her weight behind the idea of keeping European online communications within Europe where possible.

The show of support for the plan, which was initially floated by European telecoms giant Deutsche Telekom, follows the collapse of hopes in Germany that the U.S. might agree a no-spy agreement with the country. In a separate move, Germany is reportedly planning to step up its own surveillance of embassies belonging to the U.S. and the U.K.

“We’ll talk with France about how we can maintain a high level of data protection,” Merkel said on Saturday. “Above all, we’ll talk about European providers that offer security for our citizens, so that one shouldn’t have to send emails and other information across the Atlantic. Rather, one could build up a communication network inside Europe.”


“Within Europe”

Deutsche Telekom’s proposal, for keeping German data within German borders, is partly a marketing exercise based on an existing agreement between it and the other big German webmail provider, United Internet. The two providers already had a so-called “De-Mail” alliance (playing on the country code “DE” for “Deutschland”) that involved a shared infrastructure for handling emails linked to the user’s offline identity.

In August, they added encryption across the system and started promoting “E-mail made in Germany” as a shield against prying American and British eyes. Deutsche Telekom said it also wanted to avoid communications sent between German parties being routed via the U.S., where possible.

On Saturday, Merkel said in a podcast that she and French President Francois Hollande would this week discuss which European providers might help create such a framework on a regional basis.

Merkel also hinted at her dissatisfaction with the way in which U.S. web giants such as Google and Facebook base their operations in the European country “where data protection is weakest” (that would be Ireland, then). “That is a situation which we also cannot countenance forever,” she said.

The European Commission reacted warmly to the idea of promoting European communications and data storage services. The office of digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes highlighted various pieces of legislation that are being worked on, such as the new Data Protection Regulation, as well as Commission-funded encryption research.

“We support Chancellor Merkel’s calls for better networks, and better data protection and security on those networks, as part of a broader digital industrial policy,” Kroes’s office said in a statement. “We hope that that Franco-German discussion on Wednesday, and the discussion with leading industrialists, will lead to an acceleration of work on important European legislation in this domain.”

Of course, keeping communications within European borders is no guarantee of data protection. The NSA’s British counterpart, GCHQ, has proven very adept at tapping most of the world’s communications infrastructure, so data could certainly be monitored even if it doesn’t pass through the U.S. That said, there is more jurisdictional protection for data that doesn’t head out that way, compared with data that is stored on or passes through U.S. systems.


“Treat them all the same way”

The surveillance of Germans by the NSA and its partners has generally raised more alarm among citizens and German businesses, which fear economic espionage, than it has in government. Indeed, apart from outrage over the surveillance of German politicians, Merkel’s main response has been to lobby for Germany to be included in the spy pact that binds the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

A key feature of the “Five Eyes” pact, more properly known as the UKUSA agreement, has supposedly been that its members don’t spy on one another (though there’s plenty to suggest that they spy on one another’s citizens when that can help bypass national privacy laws).

However, that meme was unceremoniously blown out of the water last week when President Barack Obama said the U.S. had no no-spy agreement with any country.

Obama had just come out of talks with Hollande, who also wanted in on the pact. He somewhat patronizingly told reporters: “I have two daughters and they are both gorgeous and wonderful, and I would never choose between them. And that’s how I feel about my outstanding European partners.”

Germany will now treat the U.S. with the same suspicion it applies to China, Russia and North Korea. “We need to cease the differentiation and treat them all the same way,” Der Spiegel quoted the chairman of the German parliamentary intelligence oversight committee as saying. "

Customer analytics startup RetentionGrid "expands to BigCommerce, after revealing SoundCloud founders’ funding"; The Berlin startup is trying to offer small businesses low-cost analytics, for keeping their online customers coming back - GO - Feb 17, 2014

- D. Meyer -
http://gigaom.com/2014/02/17/data-driven-marketing-firm-rete…

"Analytics and marketing go together hand-in-hand, but larger e-commerce operations are generally able to devote more resources to their big data efforts. Small businesses may sell over the web, but they’re up against the data-wrangling prowess of Amazon and other big retailers, who have gotten pretty good at figuring out how to keep customers coming back, in an automated sort of way.

This is the problem that RetentionGrid is trying to solve – to help smaller players get in on the data-driven marketing game. The analytics service, which is also available standalone and on the Shopify and Tictail e-commerce platforms, added BigCommerce to that roster on Monday.

This follows a busy week, in which Berlin-based RetentionGrid revealed $710,000 in seed funding from investors including SoundCloud founders Eric Wahlforss and Alex Ljung, and in which the firm also released version 2.0 of its product. (RetentionGrid runs on SAP’s HANA platform and SAP was showcasing the outfit as it launched an innovation center in Potsdam, just outside Berlin.)

According to RetentionGrid CEO Kevin Dykes, the company is trying to tell its small business customers when to get hold of previous customers with fresh recommendations, “but just as strongly telling them the time not to sell – we don’t want to spam the audience.”

RetentionGrid takes data from the shopping platforms on which it operates and does not, Dykes stressed, supplement that with data from third-party brokers. “We’re trying to not encourage creepy,” he said, adding that being based in Germany means the firm has to be about as data-protection-compliant as anyone out there.

It then uses that data to model things like responsiveness to discounts, whether the customer appears to be on a buying cycle, and so on, then it sends the retailer weekly opportunity alerts, suggesting that certain customers are likely to want to buy in the coming week. Here’s an example of the titular grid, representing who’s in the worth-targeting zone:




Customer details are anonymized as far as RetentionGrid is concerned, though obviously not for the retailer using its services.

The service runs on a freemium basis, with its customers only paying when they want to take action based on the data they see. So, based on the sort of graphical representation you see above, the retailer could then press one button to create a sales campaign, either one-off or repeated on an automated basis when the customer meets the same conditions again.

Although it’s still working out its precise model, Dykes suggested that RetentionGrid was priced low enough to offer services rivalling the more expensive likes of Optimove, for example, at around the same price charged for more basic rules-based services that don’t use predictive modelling. According to Dykes, RetentionGrid – which launched last year — is growing at between 25-30 percent a month and works with around 2,700 shops. "

Indonesia does not see concentrate export permits until March @the earliest - MW/R, NUSA DUA - Feb 17, 2014
www.miningweekly.com/article/indonesia-does-not-see-concentr…

"Indonesia does not expect to approve any export permits for mineral concentrates until next month at the earliest, a senior government official said on Monday, keeping one of the world's biggest mining industries at a standstill.

Around $500-million worth of copper concentrate, nickel ore, iron-ore, bauxite and other mineral exports have ground to a halt due to confusion over the implementation of Indonesia's controversial mineral export ban on January 12.

There are concerns a prolonged halt in mineral ore and concentrate exports could cause the current account deficit to blow out again, after narrowing to 1.98% of gross domestic product (GDP) in the fourth quarter.

The G20 economy is among the most vulnerable to the risk of outflows due to its current account deficit, which hit a record of 4.4% of GDP in the second quarter of 2013.

"Hopefully this March we will be ready to issue export recommendations," Hersonyo Prio Wibowo, deputy director for mineral production supervision said in a text message. "Six companies have now applied for recommendation letters."

In order to export, mineral exporters must first receive a recommendation letter from the mines ministry, and then apply to the trade ministry to become a registered exporter.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono last month imposed the new mining rules, including the mining ban and progressive export taxes on concentrates, aimed at forcing miners to build smelters and process their raw materials in Indonesia.

Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold and fellow miner Newmont Mining, which together account for virtually all copper mining in Indonesia and have been locked in talks with the government over the implementation of the export tax.

Wibowo said the government would not approve export permits until after it completes its review of data on planned smelters.

The Investment Coordinating Board expects three smelters to be completed this year, one chemical-grade alumina smelter and two sponge-iron producing facilities. "

Abakan Subsidiary Awarded $1.500.000 Loan, to 'Scale-Up PComP(TM) Production +Expand PComP(TM) Coating Services', MesoCoat's PComP™ product lines(cermets fabricated into a hierarchical structure, using a patented process to engineer particle sizes down to the nano-scale) "serve the thermal spray coating industry, which is currently a $10.000.000.000 industry globally, catering to the oil +gas, mining, aerospace +defense, automotive, infrastructure, heavy equipment, chemical, +processing industries." The PComP™ family of coatings is "positioned to replace the very expensive tungsten carbide coatings, +toxic electrolytic chrome plating"; PComP™ nanocomposite metal-ceramic coatings offer the wear +corrosion resistance of ceramic materials, such as diamond or glass, but with the toughness +resilience of metals. These nanocomposite coatings impart wear +corrosion resistance to metal surfaces +reduce friction in sliding wear applications. The PComP™ cermet coatings "are easy to apply +machine to tight tolerances for dimensional restoration of worn industrial components". The PComP™ family of coating materials "has been designed to act as a drop-in replacement, for competing thermal spray materials, that can be used in existing application systems based on a unique, patented coating microstructure, that combines the high hardness zones of a ductile metal in an optimal geometry." PComP™ coatings are "up to" 70% lighter than tungsten carbide(WC) coatings, +"up to" 40% lighter than the hard chrome alternative, due to the use of light +low-cost, nitride-based reinforcements; Mr. R. Miller: "Our PComP™ current powder production expansion plan is ramping up annual production to 18 tons, increasing sales to $240.000/month. The $1.500.000 loan "will assist MesoCoat to increase the scale up of PComP™ production, from 18 tons to 160 tons/year, increasing 'projected' powder sales revenues to $1.600.000/month +thermal spray revenues of $1.000.000/month, over the next few years".

African fossil reveals clues, to evolution of ape-human lineage - UPI/SH, KINGSTON R.I. - Feb 18, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/02/18/african-fo…

"Scientists say evidence of an African environment inhabited by an ancient ape species provides insights into the early diversification of the ape-human lineage.

Knowledge of the environment inhabited by the early ape Proconsul can help in understanding and interpreting the connection between habitat preferences and that diversification, they said.

Proconsul and a primate relative, Dendropithecus, inhabited "a widespread, dense, multistoried, closed canopy" forest on Rusinga Island in Kenya, the researchers report in the journal Nature Communications.

A fossil of a single individual of Proconsul, which lived 18 to 20 million years ago, was found among geological deposits that also contained tree stump casts, calcified roots and fossil leaves, they said.

The discovery underscores the importance of forested environments in the evolution of early apes, anthropologist Holly Dunsworth of the University of Rhode Island said.

"To have the vegetation of a habitat preserved right along with the fossil primates themselves isn't a regular occurrence in primate paleontology," she said. "It's especially rare to have so many exquisite plant fossils preserved at ancient ape sites.

"It's probably the best evidence linking ape to habitat that we could ask for."

Proconsul probably had a body position somewhat similar to modern monkeys but details of its anatomy suggest some more ape-like climbing and clambering abilities, the researchers said.

Work at the Kenyan site is ongoing, Dunsworth said.

"We don't know exactly what we're going to find, but without a doubt, if we keep searching, we're going to find knowledge about early ape evolution, which was, of course, a significant chapter in our own history," she said. "

Bitcoin ATMs will arrive in U.S. cities this month, says Robocoin(but don’t hold your breath); The maker of a Bitcoin ATM machine says the devices will arrive in Seattle +Austin in February. But earlier such predictions have yet to materialize, possibly due to regulatory or business constraints - GO/R - Feb 18, 2014

- J. J. Roberts -
http://gigaom.com/2014/02/18/bitcoin-atms-will-arrive-in-u-s…
www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/18/us-bitcoin-robocoin-idUSB…

"Las Vegas-based Robocoin, which installed the first permanent bitcoin ATM in Canada last year, claims that residents of Seattle and Austin will have access to machines of their own by the end of February.

According to Reuters, Robocoin says that the machines, which allow users to swap dollars for bitcoins and vice versa, will come equipped with scanners that can identify users by their driver’s licenses or passports.

Bitcoin watchers may wish to take the report with a grain of salt, however. Last year, Robocoin’s CEO told media outlets that bitcoin ATMs would arrive in cities like New York and Los Angeles by January, but none have materialized. And when I visited the Vancouver ATM in late December, its operators said they were installing machines in other Canadian cities — but for now, there’s still just the one.

The slow pace of the ATM rollouts may be due to the sticky process of ensuring that the machines comply with money transfer laws. In Vancouver, for instance, the ATM includes a biometric sensor to ensure the same person doesn’t exchange more than $3,000 a day (the sensor wasn’t working when I visited). Such laws may explain Robocoin’s prediction that the Seattle and Austin machines will include ID scanners.

The verdict is still out on the business case for bitcoin ATMs. In the case of the Vancouver ATM, users pay a five percent commission to the machine operator — which is significantly higher than the amount charged by online exchanges like Coinbase. The ATM operator pays a fee to the coffee shop that hosts the machine and, as Wired points out, the machine requires a “chaperone.”

Meanwhile, Bitcoin prices appear to have held up in the face of new crises at large exchanges MtGox and Bitstamp. Coinbase lists the current value at around $630. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Tigers Realm Coal - completes acquisition of Amaam North; currently holds a 40% interest in the Amaam tenement +can earn up to 80% through the conversion of the exploration license to an exploration +exploitation license +completion of a bankable feasibility study. The Amaam deposit comprises an Inferred Resource1 of 294.000.000 t coking coal +an additional exploration target2 of 220.000.000 -345.000.000 t, central part of the Amaam deposit is located 30km from a proposed deep water port site on the Bering Sea coast; M. Grant: "This acquisition substantially increases our footprint in the emerging coal province in Chukotka. Based on our current understanding of the deposit, we believe that Amaam North has the potential to significantly increase the scale of our coking coal resources in the region"; In the 1st half of ´12 TIG will conduct field reconnaissance +preliminary coal quality analysis to confirm the geological interpretation of the deposit in order to short-list target areas for drilling with the intention of delineating an initial JORC compliant resource - Jan 19, 2012

+ New 478km2 tenement increases total land holding in highly prospective Bering Coal Basin to 709km2

+ The Amaam North +Amaam deposits are located within separate structural blocks of the Bering Coal Basin. The Bering Coal Basin covers an area of ~7.500km2 +extends from north of Beringovsky(Nargornaya mine) to the southern coast line. The primary coal host sequence @Amaam North +Amaam is the Middle Chukchi Formation of Palaeogene age.

+ The coal formation @Amaam North is synclinal in structure with longitudinal +cross cutting faults, moderate dips @the margins, flatter dips along the axis. Mapping of the deposit has identified multiple coal exposures, 30 of which are >2m true seam thickness. Based on outcrop sampling, cumulative coal thicknesses are expected to be similar to Amaam.

+ Available information indicates the coal @North Amaam is a high volatile A bituminous coal based on the ASTM classification standard. TIG considers Amaam North to be prospective for high volatile semi soft to semi hard coking coal. BHP Billiton held an exploration license for the Amaam North deposit from December ´06 to December ´09. During this time, BHPB is believed to have undertaken field mapping +a limited(four holes) drill program. BHPB relinquished the license in December ´09.

+ Amaam North tenement located 30km from Amaam tenement +40km from existing Beringovsky port

+ The acquisition of the Amaam North tenement significantly increases the scale of TIG’s activities +potential resource endowment in Chukotka. With the increasing focus on far eastern Russia, TIG has initiated a strategic review of its project portfolio "to ensure that resources are allocated in a manner which will maximise shareholder value". Results of the strategic review are expected to be released to market in Q1 ´12. ...

Tigers Realm Coal - Positive Amaam Nth Project F Pre-Feasibility Study Completed, "confirms low capital +operating cost, open pit coking coal mine @Amaam North" - Sep 2, 2013

"Highlights:"

+ Pre-feasibility Study(PFS) on Project F @Amaam North "demonstrates outstanding project economics", from a core starter project, with a shortened timeframe to 1st production.

+ Project F will produce over 1.000.000t/a of primarily coking coal product from a low strip ratio(5:1) open pit, over an initial 11 year mine life.

+ Project F "has the "potential" to become one of the lowest operating cost, export coking coal mines in the world " , with an average FOB cash cost of US$75/t of saleable product.

+ The capital cost to "initial" production is "estimated" @US$52.000.000.

+ The PFS "confirms strong project economics". Using a coking coal price of US$150/tonne +a 10% real discount rate, the project has an after- tax net present value(NPV ) of US $ 177.000.000 +an internal rate of return(IRR ) of 37%. Payback is <2 years.

+ The Bankable Feasibility Study(BFS) continues +TIG is funded for this work –the BFS will be completed by Q1 `14, as scheduled. " "Strong interest" in funding Project F has been received".

+ Ongoing work programs will "assess "options" to further enhance project value". These include expanding the open pit Resources, through further drilling on the largely unexplored Amaam North licence, assessing the "potential" for underground mining of the thick seams below the Project F open pit +optimising PFS outcomes.

+ TIG’s "plans" "for becoming a large scale +leading coking producer from Amaam +Amaam North are further strengthened by the strong economics of Project F." Project F is set to become the core starter mine, which will then support the expansion of production, from the main 6.000.000t/a Amaam Project +Amaam North. ...

"Submersive Tech Cools Supercomputers, +Cuts Costs" - CT/3BLM - Feb 18, 2014

- John Howell -
http://blog.cleantechies.com/2014/02/18/submersive-tech-cool…

"The digital economy has brought uncounted positive benefits, but it has also created one major sustainability problem. What to do about the growing energy requirements of larger, more power-hungry servers and supercomputers? And what to do about the heat given off by these larger, more powerful machines and data centers that make huge demands on air conditioning to keep them cool and functioning?

Some supercomputers’ annual energy bills run into tens of millions of dollars, while the biggest corporate data centers have electricity bills in the hundreds of millions, much of that for air conditioning.

One obvious answer is to locate large data centers in the cool climate of Scandinavia, as have Facebook and Google. Another recent, solution is to submerge supercomputers in liquids for cooling. Such facilities use less electricity and eliminate or reduce the need for costly air conditioning equipment.


At the Tokyo Institute of Technology, a supercomputer submerged in a tank of mineral oil has been named by the Green500, an industry ranking, as the most energy-efficient machine of its kind . This computer is 50 percent more powerful than its predecessor, but uses only the same amount of energy with the immersion technology, developed by Green Revolution Cooling, a Texas firm.

Iceotope, a U.K. start-up, is submerging its computers in liquid fluorplastic. And Allied Control, a Hong Kong company that designs cooling systems, is using submersion technology for its new data center. It’s estimated that submersive cooling could cut energy bills and infrastructure costs in half . Now there’s an innovation that goes immediately to where it counts, the bottom line. "

"China is directing a recent crackdown on prostitution, gambling and drugs to go national, Reuters reported, citing a Monday statement by the Ministry of Public Security.

The campaign started earlier this month after state broadcaster CCTV aired an expose of vice in the city of Dongguan, where subsequent police raids led to the detention of nearly 1,000 people. In a warning to the "protective umbrella" of official collusion, the ministry said officials would be "seriously investigated, and crimes will be resolutely investigated in accordance with the law."

Altitude Initiates Exploration Program, on Elan Coal Properties in Southern Alberta, Canada; 1st phase is a field reconnaissance program which will start 1st week of Oct `13. Upon completion of the reconnaissance Altitude will apply for a permit, which will be followed up by a drill program that is "expected" to start in early `14 +will focus on coal quality confirmation +strategic infill drilling; program objective is to trace the known three major coal seams, that were mined @Grassy Mountain(aggregate average thickness of ~15m) northward on the Elan property. In addition, known outcrops +historic trenches will be verified +mapped. The "planned" drilling will include full seam core sampling, to determine coal quality. Initial coal quality testing from outcrop samples " "indicates" mid volatile coking coal in the drill target area"; Elan Leases extend for 55 kms northward from Crowsnest Pass, along strike in the Kootenay Group coal formation. The drill program will focus on coal quality +resource expansion drilling. The drill target area is located in the southernmost 15km of the Elan leases. Five different "areas of interest", with "surface mineable "potential" ", have been identified from historic exploration work, carried out by companies including CONSOL, Devon Canada, Granby Mining, CanPac Minerals +Canadian Hunter, dating back to the `40's. >10 coal seams have been identified on the properties, with thicknesses ranging from 3 -10m. The property can be accessed by driving north from Crowsnest Pass on 2ndary roads. Elan is located ~12 kilometres from CN rail, which has capacity to provide transport of coal to deep-water ports on the west coast of Canada +has access to port infrastructure, with spare capacity; largest component of the "exploration target" was located in the Wildcat +Grassy North areas in the southern area of the property. This initial field reconnaissance +drill program is targeting this specific part of the property, which extends for ~15 kilometers northward along strike - Sep 26, 2013

"When the President took office, the fuel efficiency standards for our cars had been stuck at 27.5 miles per gallon for twenty years – two decades of lost time when it comes to developing new technologies that can get more miles per gallon out of every tankful of gas. That’s why one of the very first actions the President took in office was to direct the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation to work with the auto industry to develop new fuel economy standards for cars and trucks. It was guided by a belief that if this industry was truly going to come back stronger than before – and thrive over the long term – then we had to build the cars of the future right here in America. After all, improving fuel efficiency represents one of the best opportunities we have to reduce our dependence on oil.

With the President’s leadership, we were able to move forward. Taken together, the standards the Administration has put in place for cars and light trucks span model years 2011 to 2025 and they represent the toughest fuel economy standards in history. Under this first-ever national program, average fuel efficiency for cars and trucks will nearly double, reaching an average performance equivalent of about 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

In 2011, the President also established the first-ever fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, covering model years 2014 through 2018. Over the lifetimes of the vehicles covered, trucks and buses will reduce oil consumption by a projected 530 million barrels and greenhouse gas pollution by approximately 270 million metric tons, saving vehicle owners and operators an estimated $50 billion in fuel costs.



Yesterday, the President directed the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation to set the next round of fuel efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks by March 2016. This next round of fuel efficiency standards will build on the historic work done to date, support American manufacturing innovation, and spur the development of new technologies. After years of idling on fuel efficiency, America’s truck fleet is on a straight road to lower emissions, fuel savings for drivers, and leading the world in advanced vehicles.

Check out our progress report, Improving the Fuel Efficiency of American Trucks, to learn more about yesterday’s announcement and find out how the President is taking action on climate change by improving the efficiency of our vehicles.

Renewable Energy "to Become Important, For Mining" - WPN/MF/NR - Jan 17, 2014

- Sean Patterson -
www.webpronews.com/renewable-energy-to-become-important-for-…

"In a possible sign of what’s to come, new signals in the mining industry indicate that renewable energy amy soon power mining operations in many places across the world.

Market research firm Navigant Research today issued a report showing that mining companies, which use massive amounts of energy, are now looking to reduce the costs of rising energy prices. Many mine sites, especially those in remote locations, could soon come to rely heavily on renewable energy technologies.

The report estimates that at least 5% of the energy used by the mining industry by the year 2022 will come from renewable sources. According to Navigant, less than 0.1% of the industry’s current energy consumption is from renewable sources.

Moving into the next few years, wind power will become the most important renewable energy technology to the mining industry, making up over half of the industry’s renewable energy by 2022. Solar power will come next in popularity, supplying a bit less than half of the industry’s renewable energy.

“A number of mines are already utilizing large-scale wind power, but these sites were chosen based on extreme needs and/or ideal wind characteristics,” said Kerry-Ann Adamson, research director at Navigant. “The industry is now at a point where it can move forward into larger and more complex deployments, potentially including energy storage technologies, which would enable a higher percentage of renewable use per mine site.” "

Tesla "confirms huge battery factory plan, will ship 35K Model S cars this year"; Tesla says that the massive battery “gigafactory” is now in the plans. @the same time the electric car maker plans to significantly boost Model S production this year - GO - Feb 20, 2014

- K. Fehrenbacher -
http://gigaom.com/2014/02/19/tesla-confirms-huge-battery-fac…

"Electric car maker Tesla Motors ended a year of dramatic growth in 2013 by announcing in its fourth quarter and full year earnings report on Wednesday that it plans to significantly boost the number of its Model S cars shipped in 2014, and also confirmed that a massive battery production factory is planned with partners.

Tesla said it plans to boost the number of Model S cars shipped by over 55 percent in 2014 to 35,000 cars. Tesla shipped its first Model S about 20 months ago and in 2013 delivered 22,477 Model S cars. Tesla says it was able to hit its goal of 25 percent gross margin on these cars by the end of 2013 and will reach 28 percent gross margin by the end of 2014.




That increase in shipments means that Tesla will need to ramp up the amount of Model S cars it can make from 600 per week to 1,000 per week by the end of the year. The production increase will require extra factory build out and a reduction of “supplier bottlenecks,” according to the letter to shareholders. A big part of this growth strategy will occur with shipments to Europe and Asia. Tesla plans to ship its first Model S to China in the Spring.

But growth of Tesla’s future cars beyond the Model S will come with the help of a massive battery factory, which it’s calling the “Gigafactory.” Tesla CEO Elon Musk raised the idea of the Gigafactory in a previous earnings call, and said that to produce 500,000 of its Gen-III cars per year, Tesla would need to build a “giga factory” that would have the equivalent of all of the world’s current production of lithium ion batteries made just for Tesla in one factory.


In a letter to shareholders Tesla confirmed that the Gigafactory is in the works. The letter says:

Very shortly, we will be ready to share more information about the Tesla Gigafactory. This will allow us to achieve a major reduction in the cost of our battery packs and accelerate the pace of battery innovation. Working in partnership with our suppliers, we plan to integrate precursor material, cell, module and pack production into one facility. With this facility, we feel highly confident of being able to create a compelling and affordable electric car in approximately three years. This will also allow us to address the solar power industry’s need for a massive volume of stationary battery packs.


This week an analyst said that he thinks Tesla is planning on building the $2 billion Gigafactory in New Mexico, in partnership with battery makers Panasonic and Sanyo. Musk said on the earnings call that more information about the Gigafactory could come next week. A factory would require substantial capital to build. Musk said that the factory would likely use more than one partner.

For the full year 2013, Tesla announced revenue of $2.01 billion, up from $413.26 million in 2012. Tesla showed a net loss of $74 million for the full year, which was a much smaller loss than the $396.21 million for 2012. For the fourth quarter 2013, Tesla generated $615.22 million, with a net loss of $16.26 million; that was up from $306.33 million in revenue and a $89.93 million net loss from the year earlier.

Tesla shares are soaring on the news, and hit a record of $217 per share in after hour trading. "

"Entrepreneur Steve Perlman may have cut his teeth in the tech world with the invention of WebTV — which he sold to Microsoft for $425 million more than a decade ago — but now he’s venturing into the arcane realm of telecom. His new startup Artemis Networks has developed a cellular technology that claims to relieve the scarcity of mobile broadband signals, pumping enormous amounts of speed and capacity into the network in the process.



- Perlman -


Artemis’s technology is called a pCell, which purports to make the mobile network’s biggest problem — interference between signals — work in the network’s favor. While conventional cells are designed to avoid transmitting on each other’s turf, Artemis’s antennas deliberately throw their signals headlong into one another. According to Artemis, instead of creating white noise, which is what would happen in a regular network, that miasma of cross-interference generates tiny 1cm-sized “personal cells” that can be accessed by individual LTE devices.

Each of those pCells can support a normal cell’s worth of capacity, and its network can create multiple pCells within the confines of a regular cell. With that kind of power, Artemis claimed, carriers can build mobile networks that don’t suffer from congestion or dead zones, effectively creating enormous capacity — quite literally — out of thin air.




Those are bold claims, and I’m very curious to see if Artemis can back them up. Even if its technology is all that it’s advertised to be, it still has a long path ahead of it before it could be adopted in any commercial networks.

Mobile operators are conservative creatures, relying very heavily on standards-based technology for their networks. That’s both good and bad. It means an iPhone can work on a network in Japan just as it would work on AT&T’s systems. But it also means that operators don’t just toss new technology into their networks without a long, arduous — and often very political — standardization process. "

New blasting, smelting methods available, to boost platinum –Robinson[Video] - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Jan 23, 2014

- M. Creamer, Dr RE Robin Robinson -
www.miningweekly.com/article/new-blasting-smelting-methods-a…

"The introduction of new methods of blasting and smelting have the potential to boost platinum mining significantly, says research commentator Dr R E (Robbie) Robinson.

Robinson tells Mining Weekly Online in the attached video interview that the introduction of selected blast mining (SBM) in platinum mining, as with narrow-reef gold mining, requires negligible change to become operative.

The one-time National Institute for Metallurgy, now Mintek, director says it has the potential to boost the economic viability of narrow-reef platinum mining dramatically in the short term.

SBM involves fracturing rock in such a way that the reef remains intact.

Broadly speaking, the valuable platinum will represent a third of the rock that is currently brought to surface and the rest of the non-platinum-bearing rock that has to be blasted to open up space to work will remain underground to backfill the stopes.

The current method of blasting, which scatters the finely divided platinum far and wide, lowers the rate of platinum recovery significantly.

“We need to use blasting techniques that shock fracture the rock rather than throw it around in big high energy explosions.

Replacing costly smelting with a hydrometallurgical process – known as the Kell process – is the second change he advocates to boost platinum mining.

This process avoids having to separate the chromite from the platinum and, together with SBM, would offer a rate of platinum recovery of well over 90% , instead of the current 65% .

Kell, developed by Keith Liddell, consumes only 14% of the electricity that smelting consumes – 140 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate processed compared with 1 000 kWh of electricity for every ton of concentrate smelted.

There is also no milling with Kell, which is said to emits only 440 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) for every ton of concentrate treated, compared with the milling and smelting of a ton of concentrate to matte and base metal refining producing 1 400 kg of CO2/t of concentrate treated.


SHOCK WAVE BLASTING

Shock wave blasting, which involves the use of explosives with high detonation velocity and a sudden evolution of gas, sends shock waves that cause rock fracture and keeps precious-metal reef relatively coherent.

“With shock tube and delayed detonation you can do this blasting very satisfactorily without any difficulty whatsoever, and then the shock wave would be automatically transmitted into the reef

“Any decent manufacturer of detonators and explosives would be able to manage this with ease,” says Robinson, who, after retiring in 1990, formed AC Mining Consulting Services, which worked intensively on SBM.

Robinson believes that SBM can serve as a quick, interim solution ahead of the introduction of AngloGold Ashanti’s so-called South African technology, involving automated raise boring and facilitating narrow-reef mining at ultra depth.

Equipment for AngloGold’s “game-changing” technology, which mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time, safely”, is under construction, with the first machines scheduled to become available in the first quarter of 2014.

Figuratively speaking, Robinson is “pretty sure” that SBM could be introduced “tomorrow ". "

New mechanisation achieving more success – AngloGold - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Feb 19, 2014

- M. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/exciting-new-gold-mechanisation…

"The demonstrably successful new AngloGold Ashanti gold-mining technology has produced 40 kg of gold from ore with enormously valuable gold grades of more than 200 g of gold for every ton mined.

The South African Technology, as it has been called, has so far mined only in no-go areas, which have been bypassed for conventional mining on the grounds of being excessively hazardous.

Revealing this after presenting a magnificent set of results with every metric excelling with the exception of the lagging gold price, AngloGold Ashanti CEO Srinivasan (Venkat) Venkatakrishnan told Mining Weekly Online that the company was now rolling out the technology on five sites using locally produced raise-boring equipment (also see attached video).

“We continue to invest in the South African technology piece,” he said, describing it as the “single key we have to improve productivity, which is the answer to a number of issues within the South African mining industry”.

The key breakthroughs the company has achieved as it completes its eighteenth drill hole at Tau Tona gold mine are slashed drilling times, backfill technology beyond the trial stage and a drilling mechanism that crushes the core to paste for easier processing.

Drilling times that used to take 30 days are now taking 3.5 days, with 2 days the new target.

“The new machines we are manufacturing are doing a very good job,” Venkat told Mining Weekly Online, adding that a significant breakthrough had been achieved with adjacent drilling.

A second production site is being built at Tau Tona, with other sites going up at Kopanang, Great Noligwa and Moab Khotsong.

The machines are being made to drill even the narrowest of reefs and can also be used in hard-rock, narrow-reef platinum mines.

AngloGold executive VP South Africa region Mike O’Hare said the new reamer being used in the potentially “game-changing” mechanisation drive was enabling the company to complete a hole far faster.

All the ore has been extracted from adjacent holes – “skin-to skin” – with negligible deviation.

“We plan to ramp this up quite significantly over the year,” O’Hare said.

The average grade in the holes drilled is an enormous 90 g/t, with one hole coming back at more than 200 g/t.

“Just in the research and development phase, we’ve managed to mine over 40 kg of gold and we want to quadruple that number in 2014,” he added.

AngloGold Ashanti reported low all-in sustaining costs in 2013 and a yearly production that rose for the first time in almost a decade , after it successfully cut spending and commissioned two new mines.

The JSE- and NYSE-listed gold company took yearly output to 4.105-million ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $1 015/oz.

Despite free cash outflow reducing from $205-million to $82-million, after all capital, tax and interest payments, the AngloGold board decided against a dividend declaration.

“It would not be a smart move at this time to borrow money from the banks to pay dividends,” the AngloGold CEO commented to Mining Weekly Online.

The new Tropicana mine, in Australia and Kibali mine, in the Democratic Republic of Congo added 106 000 oz to the AngloGold total at a low average cash cost of $532/oz.

Sold off is the small Navachab mine, in Namibia, and closed is the under-performing Yatela mine, in Mali.

The current worst-performing mine, Obuasi, in Ghana, is undergoing reform, which will include an element of mechanisation.

Projected 2014 production is expected to be from 4.2-million ounces to 4.5-million ounces.

The capital expenditure outlook for 2014 is a decline of 31% to between $1.3-billion and $1.45-billion.

In 2013, strong quarter-four (Q4) production of 1 229 000 oz rose 43% on Q4 2012 and 18% on the previous quarter.

Net debt to earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation fell to 1.86 times, down from 2.02 times in Q3.

Adjusted headline earnings leapt 49% to $164-million and the all-injury frequency rate was the lowest ever at 7.33 for every million hours worked for the year.

Corporate and exploration costs fell 20% in Q4 from the previous quarter. "

Zitat von Popeye82: 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

- Ross Louthean -
www.mineweb.com/mineweb/view/mineweb/en/page72558?oid=127841…

"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. "


Regency Mines Plc - Maiden JORC Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate, for the Mambare Nickel Laterite Project: 95.100.000 tonnes @0.96% nickel +0.08% cobalt I/I; resource estimate was independently calculated by CSA Global(Perth, Australia)(“CSA”) based on the results of the ´11 exploration campaign +only those holes from the ´08 exploration campaign located within the ´11 drilling area, comprising 3790.40 metres from 162 drill holes +5 test pits; MRE was calculated across a combined area of 9 square kilometres, with only 2 square kilometres in the primary target, the 80sq km plateau. The remainder of the resource is on the southern slopes below the plateau; I. Warden: "This "has the potential to be one of the world’s largest single nickel laterite deposits ." This resource estimate of 95.000.000 tonnes is three times the size of our initial target for this campaign. We found better thicknesses +grades than we anticipated, having penetrated the full profile including both limonite +saprolite horizons. Within the total JORC compliant resource there appear to be significant tonnages of higher-grade material, which bodes well for future project economics. We have drill tested <3% of the plateau surface, with mineralization open across the plateau to the north +west of the current drilling. This "indicates the very significant potential upside of this project." These results "reinforce our belief that the combined potential of the Mambare Nickel Laterite Project +the revolutionary Direct Nickel Process for extracting nickel from laterites will allow us to create a truly outstanding project" "; An expanded MRE incorporating all the results from the ´08 exploration campaign +Ground Penetrating Radar Surveys as well as the results released here, will be released in the coming weeks in the form of a 2nd report with a further increase in tonnage expected; Following the delivery of the MRE @Mambare, attention will now be given to future resource definition work, metallurgical testing +scoping studies - Apr 25, 2012

5 Startups " "Poised " to Change MedTech, Forever" - MD+DI - Jan 24 -27, 2014

"Transformational is a word that gets thrown around a lot. But these startups, leveraging technology and science, are aiming to upend all traditional notions of healthcare, promising to make it better.

These are exciting , uncertain times in healthcare and especially, medtech.

All the old assumptions, structures and cultures need to reconfigured as new technologies, new customer demands and new economic realities are shifting the ground beneath the medtech industry’s collective (and, dare I say) stodgy feet.

Who shall claim the future is an open question. But these five companies - all startups - are trying to reimagine both medicine and healthcare by harnessing technologies that have real transformational capabilities.

If successful, and widely adopted, they will change medtech forever. In alphabetical order, they are:


Remote patient monitoring may be getting widespread currency now, but AirStrip Technologies is a pioneer in the field of mobile patient monitoring with its first mobile solution to remotely monitor pregnant women back in 2006.

Correctly tapping into the fact that doctors are heavy users of mobile technology, the company has created a suite of mobile solutions that can collect patient data from disparate sources such as medical devices and EMRs that are presented in user-friendly manner to clinicians on their mobile devices.That real time information on which clinicians can act on can help to lower costs and improved outcomes, thereby achieving the dual Holy Grail of healthcare.

Since its debut with the AirStrip ONE OB, the company has launched numerous other applications: AirStrip ONE Cardiology, AirStrip ONE Patient Monitoring and AirStrip One EMR. In fact the AirStrip platform became the first FDA-cleared app to be featured in Apple's App Store. Here is a video, courtesy of TriStar Health of how AirStrip ONE Cardiology is being used.






Ekso Bionics is giving new meaning to the term "wearable technology" that has created a big splash in recent years in trade shows like the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show.

Founded in 2005, the Richmond, California company makes the Ekso Bionic suit that helps paraplegics and others with a broad range of lower extremity weakness and paralysis walk again. More specifically, the product is an exoskeleton training suit.

Ekso has made tremendous strides, pun intended. In December, 2012, the company recorded a video showing more than 1 million steps having being taken cumulatively by wearers of the bionic suit.

And yet, in July, the company CEO in an interview with MD+DI bemoaned the fact that venture capitalists have decided to stay away from Ekso and hardware products, preferring instead to invest in health IT. That may have led the company to seek the public markets. Earlier in January, Ekso Bionics went public through a reverse merger and raised $20.6 million through a separate bridge debt transaction. Here is a video of a patient using the Ekso suit:






Technologies adapted from a different industry have the ability to stretch the capability of any given sector. And that seems to be the case with MC10.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts company makes flexible, stretchable electronics with the goal of transforming traditionally rigid devices into something easily wearable and in some case virtually invisible. The idea is to make the electronics as supple as the human body , by divorcing them from their traditonal, rigid form.

The company is developing consumer, digital health and medical device applications of its platform technology. In the medtech world, MC10 is attempting to give a high-tech makeover to the humble interventional catheter. The company is fitting sensors at the tip of catheters that can measure everything from temperature to electrophysiological data. Used in conjunction with RF electrodes, they can also ablate tissue. The same technology can be applied to balloons and meshes. It goes without saying that these thin sensors and implantable devices can also communicate with wireless mobile devices.

Recognizing how revolutionary the company's technology could be to the world of medtech, Medtronic, the world's foremost device maker, invested in a $10 million funding round back in December 2012. Here is a video of the world of implantable cardiac devies reimagined by MC10:






While MC10 is reimagining the world of electronics, wowing audiences everywhere and drawing investment from consumer health and medtech companies alike, Organovo is attempting a minor miracle using human material.

The San Diego company takes human cells and uses its 3-D bioprinter to place cells in a particular environment such that the natural order of life takes over and the cells begin to interact with one another, creating functional human tissue.

The pharma world, always at a handicap in trying to understand how the human body will react to certain drugs, can now take these bioprinted human cells to run clinical trials much earlier in the drug development process. In 2013, Organovo published data on a 3-D bioprinted liver model and found that the liver tissue lasts much longer than 2-D cell cultures. But perhaps more worthy of celebration is the fact that the tissue began to function like normal liver tissue. It began producing liver-specific proteins such as albumin and transferrin, as well as performed the biosynthesis of cholesterol.

But Organovo is not stopping at simply aiding drugmakers. It aims to create functional human tissue that can be implanted or delivered into the human body to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissue, for which the company will seed FDA approval as a medical device.

Here is a video that explains its 3-D bioprinted process:






Plenty of ink and cyberspace have been devoted to Proteus Digital Health (or Proteus Biomedical as it was known formerly). It's all warranted of course. Knowledge that patients have taken their medication and information on how the body is reacting to them is invaluable in the practice of medicine.

And that's what the company's Helius feedback system - comprsing an FDA-cleared ingestible sensor, a wearable patch and related software is capable of doing. A patient swallows a drug that is embedded with the sensor, and data about medication consumption and the patent's activity is set to a bodyworn patch, which in turn sends information wirelessy to mobile devices such as a smartphone.

The sensor and the patch help to confirm that the patient has in fact taken the medication, thereby directly targeting the expensive problem of medication adherence in the healthcare world.

What's more the ingestible sensor, a medical device, and the digital feedback system can predict which patients will be compliant. Predictive analytics is key to successful patient compliance.

But it's not all about doctors. Family members can also get real time data about whether their loved ones have taken their medication and how they are doing provided the patient shares that information. Currently the sensor has to be ingested along with medication for the system to work, but the goal is to have the sensor embedded within a drug.

Pharma companies and medical device companies like Medtronic and St. Jude Medical are equally interested in Proteus and have invested in the startup.

Here is how the technology works:

"Nanomaterials +Their "Potential" in Therapy" - MD+DI - Feb 9, 2014

- Heather Thompsom -
www.mddionline.com/blog/devicetalk/nanomaterials-and-their-p…

"Nanomaterials have achieved major importance in the health care industries. These are already used in surgical gowns, bedding, and portable items to minimize the risk of pathogen growth and transfer. Nanomaterials are increasingly used for diagnostic procedures, most significantly, according to the Nanotechnology Institute, in the diagnosis of arteriosclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. The capabilities of semiconducting nanocrystals (quantum dots) have led to advances in optics technology that have enabled health-care professionals to view almost any part of or specific organ in the human body. Nanomaterials also have a major role in the circuitry of microelectronic instruments. What has not been developed as fully is the use of nanomaterials as potential sensors for therapeutic procedures.

Initial efforts in using internal sensors for therapy have focused on photodynamic procedures. These therapies used overly energetic portions of the electromagnetic spectrum and problems arose specifically because the high energy levels split off triplet oxygen, nitric oxide, and other radical species that cause serious physiological side effects. What is proposed is that sensor technology be adapted to convert specific forms of energy to achieve desirable therapy while minimizing undesirable side effects, particularly from unwanted chemical bond scission.



- Jeffrey R. Ellis -


Another possible benefit of nanomaterials is their high surface area, which allows for faster kinetics and offers possibilities for extremely small quantities of material to act directly as biocides against bacterial and viral organisms. Already it has been demonstrated in-vitro that nanometal particles can be highly cytotoxic. Research still needs to be done so that the cytotoxic effects are directed at target cells and harmful organisms and not at healthy cells. Nanomaterials have also been shown in research to have beneficial effects such as in the regeneration of nerve cells after traumatic damage.

Other possibilities include nanomaterials acting as carriers for therapeutic materials. One of interest is silver, which is known to absorb oxygen without reacting with it, and thus can be used as a carrier for the gas. It has possible benefits for respiratory therapy, but can also possibly be used as a temporary substitute for hemoglobin. Using nanomaterials as carriers for other medical chemicals and drugs to get more precisely targeted therapies offers additional scope for research.

Much of the technology that would be developed would take advantage of the fact that infectious microorganisms and cancerous tissues tend to be kinetically more active, than healthy cells. More often than not, the sensor can be selectively placed or absorbed onto the target organism or tissue and the sensor activated with an initiator to give off heat (hyperthermia) or some other therapeutic agent.

Major barriers to adoption of nanomaterials are concerns regarding possible harmful effects the molecules might have on humans and on the environment. Nanomaterials have been used for many years without untoward incident, and much recent research has convinced regulatory agencies, such as the EPA that they are safe. Thus, these agencies are starting to accept nanomaterials for registration if they are proven to be both effective and safe. The scope of materials that can be fabricated into nano devices is also expanding. Research in academic laboratories has already shown that polymeric and biochemical materials, in addition to metals and inorganic chemicals, can be made in nano forms and it is very likely that these too will soon achieve commercial utility. Access to nano as well as micro medical devices can increase the possibilities for successful and safer medical procedures.


Dr. Jeffrey R. Ellis has been active in medical device research for over thirty years and has been a frequent contributor to MD+DI magazine. He administers research projects on nanomaterials especially on nanosilver on behalf of silver industry trade associations. He is also active in helping shape regulatory policies regarding nanomaterials in both the United States and Europe. "

No panic, but China January credit data still cause for worry - CER - Feb 18, 2014
www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/65266

"The good news is the gears that keep China's economy turning were well-oiled in January as credit expanded to an all -time high. The bad news is that such rapid growth in lending has revived worries about the overall health of China's banking sector.

New loans in January hit RMB1.32 trillion (US$217.6 billion), a four -year high. Total social financing, or TSF, China's broadest measure of credit growth, reached a new record, of RMB2.58 trillion, far ahead of the estimate of RMB1.9 trillion in a Bloomberg survey.

The figures are somewhat surprising given the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) tightened stance on liquidity. Since last June, the central bank has signaled that it won't allow runaway credit growth, especially in the face of heightened off-balance-sheet lending.

Markets shouldn't react with alarm to the surge in credit growth. In the first month of the year new loans are usually high. Banks have just received new loan quotas and have backlogs of loan applications from the year before. Many institutions will “front load” their loans, or loan as much as they can early on with the hope of generating more income on interest. The jump in lending a year ago was similar, although not quite as strong as last month.

The data give some cause for worry, too. The percentage of new loans was higher than off-balance-sheet lending, unlike in December. That means the ratio of lending that was being channeled into the shadow banking sector was lower. Yet, off-balance-sheet lending hit RMB993 billion in January, up from RMB555 billion in December. The figure was slightly lower than a year ago but demonstrates that attempts to restrict the risky and opaque practice are failing.

Perhaps it takes an industry scare to fight shadow lending. New trust loans, one of the three main categories in off-balance-sheet lending, weakened compared to December and the year before. China Credit Trust, a wealth management product (WMP) funded by trust loans, came to the brink of defaulting on payments at the end of last month, showing the increasingly not-so-hidden risks in the products as they mature.

At the same time, the remaining two categories of off-balance-sheet lending surged. Entrusted loans hit an all-time high at RMB396.5 billion. So did bankers’ acceptances at RMB490 billion, indicating that investors still had an appetite for dangerous shadow products.

For those rooting for strong economic data this year, the jumpstart in credit might belie the true state of growth. Much of the lending in January went to corporations looking to roll over loans . About 38% of new loans in January went to corporations. Companies in China must repay US$427 billion in principle and interest this year, almost a fifth higher than in 2013. The Chinese government might even let one or two corporations go bankrupt in 2014.

So, despite the record high TSF, not much was going into new projects , but rather propping up highly leveraged companies . “Real investment demand remains weak, as evidenced by slowing fixed-investment since August,” according to a note to investors from Mizuho Research in Hong Kong.

The market is now looking to PBOC for some insight on the credit outlook for the rest of the year.

At the close of 2013, regulators at the central bank looked determined to rein in credit expansion at the cost of economic growth. While they still might be willing to make some sacrifices, PBOC has lightened up a bit since then.

In the bank's fourth quarter monetary report, it stressed “stability” and “overall planning.” That comes in sharp contrast to the cash crunches it engineered last year, with the intent of sending a message home to banks that said “manage your balance sheets better .” Barclays analysts said that PBOC's self-described “prudent” policy stance can be tough to interpret and “at times this could mean tightening, loosening, a neutral policy stance, or a neutral stance with a tightening or loosening bias.”

However, PBOC isn't as hawkish, as it wants banks to think. When central bankers tightened liquidity and sent interbank rates soaring in 2013, GDP was posting strong figures, inflation was rising slowly and property prices were climbing rapidly. Things have changed. Growth is slowing and investment is decelerating at home, while tapering in the US has hit emerging markets and potentially those country's orders for Chinese goods.

The central bank will likely be more cautious going forward and lenders needn't worry as much as last year over another major PBOC-designed squeeze in the money market. As Wang Tao, a Hong Kong-based economist at UBS, acknowledged in a note on Monday, the true risk now is the volatility of credit.

Last Thursday, the central bank put out new regulations on WMPs in the interbank market, one of several strategies to beat back off-balance-sheet funds. These kinds of regulations put sudden stoppages in the credit market. So would any full-on defaults in the shadow banking sector. If regulators come in with tougher measures, or credit defaults take the center stage, that will make for a highly unpredictable credit supply during the rest of 2014 and likely hurt real economic growth.

Defence Force needed to quell ‘huge’ illegal mining threat –Sibanye Gold; Illegal gold mining had reached such a scale that it would not be inappropriate to bring in the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), to quell the scourge, which was not only plaguing abandoned mines, but also Sibanye's operating mines, Sibanye Gold CEO Neal Froneman said on Thursday - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Feb 20, 2014

- M. Creamer, N. Froneman -
www.miningweekly.com/article/defence-force-needed-to-quell-h…

"Illegal gold mining had reached such a scale that it would not be inappropriate to bring in the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to quell the scourge, which was not only plaguing abandoned mines but also Sibanye's operating mines, Sibanye Gold CEO Neal Froneman said on Thursday.

Responding to Mining Weekly Online after presenting a superb set of results that defied the lower gold price and delivered a high-yield dividend, Froneman said the widespread notion that illegal mining was only taking place in illegal mines was completely false. (See also attached video)

“It’s literally war ,” said the highly regarded head of the JSE- and NYSE-listed Sibanye.

“It’s at a level where I don’t think it would be inappropriate to bring in the SANDF. It’s way out of control,” he said, recounting incidents of 150-plus illegal miners attacking plants.

Sibanye was having to spend R300-million on security, made up of former high-ranking Hawks.

The South African Police Services was unable to help, because of their lack capacity to go underground.

It was not only the unemployed that were mining illegally but also Sibanye's own employees, who were developing the practice of sneaking back into the mine during their leave, and mining for their own account.

The company had a “very significant” illegal mining problem at its Kloof Four shaft on the West Rand, where blasting wires were cut and ore boxes dropped, which created major disruption.

Froneman said large criminal syndicates were driving the illegal practice.

"Illegal mining is a huge issue and I don’t think that the general public is aware of how big this issue is," he said.

Questioned by JP Morgan gold analyst Allan Cooke on the extent of the company’s Mining Charter compliance ahead of the April 30 deadline and on ‘once-empowered, not-always-empowered’ issues, Froneman said that any government accusation of minimal compliance would be completely incorrect and it was time that government acknowledged the considerable transformation that had actually taken place.

“I do expect we’re going to have a real head-butting session as the industry,” Froneman commented, condemning the 'once empowered, not-always-empowered' situation as unacceptable.

If the government chose to bully the industry into fresh empowerment transactions, the industry would meet it in the Constitutional Court.

Sibanye had been awarded new-order mining rights based on empowerment that was in place at the time and it was impossible to understand how that empowerment could "suddenly just disappear”, Froneman added.

Sibanye reported 19% higher operating profit to R4-billion, from R3.4-billion in the six months ended June 2013, and the board approved a maiden final dividend of 75c a share for the six months, resulting in a total dividend of 112c a share for 2013 – the equivalent of a dividend yield of 9.1% at the closing share price on December 31.

Gold production was 18% higher at 773 600 oz, or 24 061 kg, restoring the quarterly production rate to 2010 levels.

The all-in cost was reduced by 10% from the previous six months to $1 043/oz (R336 848/kg) and the all-in cost margin was up 20% from 17% in the previous six months.

The fatal injury frequency rate of 0.10 per million person hours worked is an all-time low.

Net debt fell to R499-million from R1.9-billion at June 30 and zero debt is being targeted.

Some R2-billion in debt repayments reduced gross debt to R2-billion and bridging loan finance was moved to more favourable and less restrictive terms.

Gold reserves increased 46% to 19.7-million ounces, with a maiden uranium reserve of 43.2-million pounds declared.

Froneman emphasised that Sibanye would "remain true" to its dividend yield policy, even if it had to borrow money to do so.

A decision was taken to impair Beatrix West’s mining assets by R821-million as a result of underground fire in February, which affected 38% of the planned production area.

Rewards were also being offered for information on the fire at Driefontein gold mine in December, which coincided with canvassing at the operation by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union. "

Zitat von Popeye82: Hybrid Coating Technologies - US EPA 'Issues Action Plan, to Deal With Toxic Isocyanates', mentioned the company's technology as an alternative to toxic polyurethane coatings in its previously issued Action Plan; J. Kristul "Hybrid's patented technology is "the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane, without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process." The polyurethane industry has "started to feel pressure to deal with toxic isocyanates, which puts the Company in a strong position." We "have received alot of interest from large players in our industry, both for the quality +durability of our products +for the environmental benefits of our isocyanate free technology" +we " "expect" some of this interest to translate into collaborations +commercial agreements in the "near future"." This is "the 1st time in over a decade that the US EPA has issued an action plan, for the polyurethane industry" "; Coating Technologies(HCT) is a San Francisco-based "innovator focused on improving the quality +safety of coatings +paint for industrial +commercial customers around the world." We are "the exclusive licensee of Green Polyurethane™ coatings +paint – the "world's 1st-ever patent protected polyurethane-based coatings +paint products, which eliminate toxic isocyanates from the entire production process" "; Conventional polyurethane(PU) paint +coatings have 'many disadvantages': they are porous, permeable +maintain poor hydrolytic stability. This "makes the material highly vulnerable to environmental degradation +ultimately leads to their chemical decomposition, especially when in contact with water. Even worse, the manufacture of conventional polyurethanes involves highly toxic components such as isocyanates, which can cause irritation of skin +mucous membranes, chest tightness, difficult breathing, upset stomach, fevers +prolonged exposure has been known to cause severe asthma +even death." Furthermore, strict +costly health & safety measures have to be implemented in the manufacture +application of conventional polyurethane, due to the toxicity of isocyanates. "This is why regulatory bodies around the world are now looking toward phasing out the use of isocyanates"; Green Polyurethane™ ("HNIPU") is a " "hybrid" material, which combines the high chemical resistance properties of epoxy +advanced durability +wear resistance properties of polyurethane, "making it the perfect application for high traffic +corrosive surface areas"." As a hybrid material with superior properties, Green Polyurethane ™ can be applied in one coating in most cases, "providing a welcome cost-saving substitute to currently used multi-layered flooring applications." Green Polyurethane™ "also provides the "1st sound solution" to the environmental +health hazards, associated with isocyanates in polyurethane." Its safety features "allow it to be applied, without the interruption of business due to public exposure, creating an additional 30 -60% savings on application costs for customers" - Jul 1, 2013

2013: The "Best Energy Stories of the Year" - TR - Jan14??

- Kevin Bullis -
www.technologyreview.com/news/523051/2013-the-best-energy-st…

"Clean energy technology made progress in 2013, but low-carbon energy isn’t growing fast enough to meet goals for limiting climate change. That would require switching energy sources as fast as France did when it converted almost all of its electricity generation from fossil fuels to nuclear power in just 30 years. While solar panels and wind turbines are being installed quickly, worldwide fossil fuel consumption is rising even faster, causing greenhouse gas emission rates to go up. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is drawing up carbon dioxide rules that will shut down coal plants, but they will do little to reduce emissions more than low natural gas prices already have by prompting a shift away from coal. Meanwhile, coal consumption is increasing around the world.



- Regulatory target: Coal power plants like this one in Texas will be subject to limits on carbon dioxide emissions as part of the Obama administration’s new climate plan. -


The fact that fossil fuels are likely here to stay for many decades heightens the need to capture and store the carbon dioxide they emit. Progress on demonstrating such technology at a large scale has slowed, but researchers are continuing to develop innovative technologies that could make storing carbon far cheaper, including the prospect of using advanced fuel cells to capture greenhouse gases.

The electric car maker Tesla Motors impressed investors by having its first profitable quarter, paying off a massive government loan nearly a decade early, and hitting expectations for vehicle purchases, unlike GM, Nissan, and others that had disappointing sales after introducing electric cars in previous years. More importantly for the long term, Tesla is making great progress in reducing the cost of batteries—the most expensive part of an electric car—and speeding up charging, both of which will be necessary for electric cars to go mainstream and have a meaningful impact on oil consumption.

A few years ago, LED light bulbs produced a grayish light and cost $50 to $100. As of this year, you can buy ones that produce light that’s hard to tell apart from incandescent light, and that cost $10 to $14. Affordable LEDs could lead to big reductions in energy use.

The U.S. Department of Energy, as part of a $452 million program, is helping two companies license new small modular reactor designs that are meant to overcome the biggest challenge to nuclear—its high upfront costs. Meanwhile, advanced molten salt reactors are getting closer to reality. A startup in the United States is developing a nuclear reactor that costs half as much as conventional ones, is safer, and produces almost no long-lived nuclear waste. In China, hundreds of engineers at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics are working on similar technology. They hope to build a test reactor in a few years. "
