China issues guideline to create quieter environment - PDO/Xinhua - Jan 26, 2011
http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90776/90882/7272517.html

"China's 11 government departments have jointly released a guideline outlining major measures to lessen noise pollution amid rising noise disputes and complaints, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said Tuesday.


The ministry's spokesperson, Tao Detian, said Tuesday the country saw rising complaints about noise pollution, which has caused an increasingly negative impact on the living environment in recent years.

The 26-article guideline focuses on addressing noise pollution in fields including industry, construction, traffic and people's daily lives.

Further, the regulation bans businesses from using acoustic instruments outdoors to lure customers.

Also, heavy noise polluters are banned from entering industrial parks, according to the guideline.

Moreover, motor vehicles should strictly observe speed limits, traffic restrictions and use of auto horns around "noise-sensitive buildings" such as hospitals, schools, government organs, scientific research institutions and residential buildings, it said.

According to the guideline, government departments would also impose higher fines on noise polluters and collect fees for "discharges of excessive noise," in accordance with law.

The newly issued document calls on various government agencies, such as the ministries on environmental protection, science and technology, public security, finance, housing, transportation and railways, to make coordinated efforts to curb pollution.

Further, government organs could launch regular inspection campaigns in major cities, it said.

According to the guideline, government agencies will set up a system to examine sound-proof qualities of civilian buildings and provide a list of major noise pollution sources by the end of this year.

Also, the guideline ordered major cities to establish an automatic noise monitoring system and to equip each city in the country with at least one noise display screen by the end of 2011. "

Light some CIGS: Intel leads $25M round for Sulfurcell’s solar modules - VB - Jan 24, 2011

- Iris Kuo -
http://venturebeat.com/2011/01/24/another-boost-for-cigs-sol…

"Looks like SpectraWatt’s struggles haven’t deterred Intel from investing in solar.

SpectraWatt, an Intel spinoff which has raised about $50 million in venture capital to develop its solar cells, recently said it would close a plant and lay off 100 workers. But Intel’s investment arm is bouncing right back, this time with a bet on a promising solar-manufacturing technology that has gathered increasing steam lately. Intel Capital announced today it led a $25 million equity round for Sulfurcell, a German thin-film CIGS solar modules supplier.

CIGS is considered one of the most promising new solar technologies on the market because of its high efficiency, according to Lux Research analyst Matt Feinstein. CIGS players have seen some good news recently, with SoloPower raising $51 million and announcing it would open a factory in Oregon. AQT Solar has also announced plans to open a new factory to help meet a backlog of demand.

As a general rule, thin-film silicon and thin-film cadmium telluride panels cost less but yield smaller efficiency rates than traditional crystalline silicon panels. But CIGS efficiency rates have changed that, and costs are expected to continue to drop as companies realize more manufacturing efficiencies.

CIGS is named for its ingredients, copper, indium, gallium and de-selinide, a relatively newer solar technology that yields higher efficiency than the cadmium telluride thin-film solar technology that is more prevalent on the market. "

Soziales: Deutsche Mittelschicht schrumpft weiter - Focus/DPA, BERLIN - Jan 26, 2011
www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/soziales-deutsche-mittelsch…

"Berlin (dpa) – Die Einkommens-Mittelschicht in Deutschland schrumpft, auch wenn die Arbeitslosigkeit zurückgeht. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt das Deutsche Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW/Berlin) in neuen Berechnungen.


Danach wird die Gruppe der mittleren Einkommensbezieher seit Jahren kleiner und nahm auch 2008 erneut ab: Binnen Jahresfrist von 59,2 Prozent auf 58,7 Prozent. Zehn Jahre zuvor lag ihr Anteil noch bei 64,3 Prozent, sagte DIW-Forscher Markus Grabka am Mittwoch und bestätigte damit einen Vorabbericht der Wochenzeitung „Die Zeit“.

Der Trend ist nach seinen Worten eindeutig. „Seit 1999 schrumpft die Mittelschicht kontinuierlich. Sogar im Aufschwung – bei vielen Menschen kommt davon einfach nichts an.“ Zur Mittelschicht zählen die DIW-Forscher jene, die über 70 bis 150 Prozent des mittleren Nettoeinkommens verfügen. Bei einem Alleinstehenden waren das dem Bericht zufolge zuletzt 1070 bis 2350 Euro im Monat. Im untersuchten Jahr 2008 ging die Arbeitslosigkeit im Schnitt um gut eine halbe Million auf knapp 3,3 Millionen zurück.
Grabkas Zahlen stehen jedoch jüngsten Berechnungen des arbeitgebernahen Instituts der Deutschen Wirtschaft (IW) entgegen, nach denen von einer schrumpfenden Mittelschicht keine Rede sein kann („Mythos“). Der Unterschied ergibt sich daraus, dass Grabka nicht Monatseinkommen wie das IW, sondern Jahreseinkommen betrachtet: Dabei werden Einmalzahlungen wie Urlaubs- und Weihnachtsgeld sowie Kapitalerträge und Zeiten vorübergehender Arbeitslosigkeit mit einbezogen.

New Coal Mining Regulations to Affect US Coal Production - MT - Jan 28, 2011
www.mining-technology.com/news/news108433.html?WT.mc_id=DN_N…

"Proposed regulations by the US Environmental Protection Agency to protect streams from coal mining are likely to affect coal production across the country, according to a government document released by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM).


The document says the rules, aimed at mountaintop removal mining, would have an effect on production and jobs within the coal mining industry, reports Associated Press.

The stream protection would bring down coal production drastically leading to an estimated loss of nearly 7,000 mining jobs.

Production is estimated to decline or stay flat in 22 states, but move up in North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana by about 15%.

OSM spokesman Peter Mail said the proposal's aim is to strike a better balance between protecting the public and the environment while providing for viable coal mining.

EPA plans to release the proposed regulations by the end of next month, and has submitted the proposal to various coal producing states for feedback. "

www.alderonmining.com/projects/kami/

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 3, 2011) - Alderon Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADV)(OTCQX:ALDFF) ("Alderon") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the 100% owned Kamistiatusset ("Kami") Iron Ore Project in western Labrador. The CDN $2.5 million program will consist of approximately 5,000 metres (m) diamond drilling with the use of three drills and is expected to take 8 weeks to complete. The drill program is designed to outline a potential of 200 to 300 million tonnes at a grade between 28-32% iron ore at the North Rose Zone.


"We are excited to be drilling at North Rose, which is a new zone believed to be connected to the primary area drilled in 2010 (Rose Central)," says Matt Simpson, Chief Operating Officer of Alderon. "This new zone should add significant tonnes to our projected resource and will be included in the updated resource estimate expected in June 2011."

An initial National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") resource estimate for the Rose Central and Mills Zones is expected in March 2011. The goal for the initial resource is to delineate 400 to 500 million tonnes at a grade between 28-32% iron ore. An updated NI 43-101 resource estimate is expected in June 2011 and will include the winter drilling at North Rose. The goal for the updated resource is to delineate a total of 600 to 800 million tonnes at a grade between 28-32% iron ore. Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited ("WGM") has been commissioned to provide this resource estimate and has already completed the required site visits and sampling program. The potential tonnage and
grade are conceptual in nature and it is uncertain if further exploration will delineate a mineral resource.

Additional information and maps showing the proposed drill hole locations are posted on the Alderon website at: www.alderonmining.com/projects/kami/

Obama: White House, CEOs Must Work Together; President Barack Obama is telling business leaders that despite some strong disagreements "we can &must work together." - FY/AP, WASHINGTON - Feb 7, 2011

- K. Kuhnhenn -
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Obama-says-White-House-CEOs-ap…

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama prodded American businesses to do their share to help the economy, calling on executives to "get in the game" and begin investing nearly $2 trillion accumulating on their balance sheets.


The president, in a speech Monday to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, called for a cooperative relationship with the private sector and argued government and business have a shared responsibility. He highlighted new efforts by his administration to improve the nation's infrastructure, invest more on entrepreneurs and foster greater innovation.

But to a polite, subdued audience he offered a stout defense of government regulations, even as he promised to eliminate those that are too burdensome. He reached back to history, invoking President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's outreach to corporate leaders and evoking the strains of self-sacrifice expressed by President John Kennedy.

"I want to be clear: even as we make America the best place on earth to do business, businesses also have a responsibility to America," Obama said. "As we work with you to make America a better place to do business, ask yourselves what you can do for America. Ask yourselves what you can do to hire American workers, to support the American economy, and to invest in this nation."

Obama said his appearance at the Chamber was in the interest of "being more neighborly" -- literally true as the trade organization's headquarters are so close to the White House that Obama was able to walk across the street to make his comments. His appearance came as Obama aims to smooth his relations with corporate leaders and persuade major businesses to spend their cash, expand hiring and promote economic growth.

The Chamber and the White House have feuded loudly over the past two years, particularly over the new health care law and an overhaul of financial regulations meant to address weaknesses that led to the Wall Street meltdown in 2008. But in the aftermath of the November elections, which gave Republicans control of the House, both the White House and the Chamber have focused on areas of common ground, despite their lingering differences.

The speech was highly anticipated by the business community. Chamber President Thomas Donohue introduced Obama, saying seats at the event were "one of the hottest tickets in town."

Donohue said the business community had an "absolute commitment to working with you and your administration to advance our shared objectives."

He added: "Our focus is finding common ground to ensure America's greatness in the 21st century."

Obama, who has faced liberal criticism for his overtures to Republicans and to the business community, argued on behalf of the financial regulation and health care initiative that his administration pushed through Congress last year. "The perils of too much regulation are matched by the dangers of too little," he said.

He called for changes in the corporate tax code and increased exports, but pointedly warned his audience that businesses could not translate those benefits into "greater profits and bonuses for those at the top."

"We cannot go back to the kind of economy - and culture - we saw in the years leading up to the recession, where growth and gains in productivity just didn't translate into rising incomes and opportunity for the middle class," he said.

Still, the Chamber and the White House have mutual interests.

Obama needs the centrist cloak that the business community can offer, as he seeks to win independent voters for his reelection bid next year. The Chamber can benefit by softening the sharp edges it developed fighting the health care overhaul and tighter financial rules.

Both sides also need each other to win on areas of policy where they share common interests.

The Chamber can help the Obama administration win congressional support of trade deals, particularly a recently renegotiated pact with South Korea. It can also act as Republican ballast against the influence of the conservative tea party movement.

Both the White House and the Chamber face Republican opposition from fiscal hawks within the GOP to increased spending on public works, from roads and bridges to wireless networks. The chamber has called for such spending to be paid for with user fees, such as a higher gasoline tax. The White House has not embraced that approach, saying only that the administration wants to create an "infrastructure bank" to attract private capital.

The Chamber, which has long advocated for changes in immigration law, could help Obama by pushing Republicans reluctant to take up such a politically charged issue. "

Brazil Launches 20-Year Plan to Guide Mining Sector - MT - Feb 14, 2011
www.mining-technology.com/news/news109931.html?WT.mc_id=DN_N…

"Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy has launched a national mining programme to guide the Brazilian mineral sector over the next 20 years.

The 20-year mining plan, PNM-2030, will address the various stages of geology, mining and processing in an integrated manner.


Under PNM-2030, the ministry proposes creating a National Mineral Policy, strengthening the Regulatory Framework of Mining, bringing in changes in the granting of mineral titles, and introduce a new policy for mining royalties.

Minister of Mines and Energy Edison Lobao said the mineral sector witnessed sales of $157bn and generated revenues of $51bn in 2010, accounting for 25% of total Brazilian exports.

"It is important to emphasise that the ministry is responsible for formulating policies for economic activities that account for approximately 10% of Brazilian GDP, of which 4% are from the mineral sector," he said. "

+ An additional 613 Million Tonnes grading 31% Iron in combined Historical Mineral Resources(i) are estimated @7 other Projects within the Fermont Property Holdings.

+ The 60,000 m fully funded 2011 drilling campaign is planned &underway on nine properties within the Fermont Property Holdings with the objective to increase resources &convert the historical resource base to NI 43-101 compliance. ...
www.marketwire.com/press-release/Champion-Announces-Initial-…

"TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 28, 2011) - CHAMPION MINERALS INC. (TSX:CHM)(FRANKFURT:P02) ("Champion" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results of an initial National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Harvey-Tuttle Project located within Champion's Fermont Property Holdings in northeastern Quebec. The Total Inferred Mineral Resources at Harvey-Tuttle are estimated at 717 Million Tonnes (MT) grading 25.0% Total Iron at a 20% cut-off and 947 MT grading 23.2% Total Iron at a 15% cut-off, the same cut-off used for the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of Champion's flagship Fire Lake North Project. The following table presents results of the Total Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate at incremental cut-off grades as validated by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (Brampton, ON)("P&E").


Total Inferred Mineral Resources

Iron Cut-off Grade(%) - Million Tonnes - Iron Grade(%)

20% 717 25.0
15% 947 23.2
10% 1,049 22.3


P&E utilized mining costs of US$1.76/Tonne and US$7.17/Tonne for the processing, G&A and freight costs. The process recovery is estimated to be 82% and using an Iron price of US$1.14/dmtu to complete the pit optimization algorithms to estimate the in-situ Inferred Mineral Resources. The results are provided in the following table at the same incremental cut-off grades, and this validates estimates by indicating the portion of the mineral resources that may be potentially economically exploited.


Total In-Pit Optimized Inferred Mineral Resources

Iron Cut-off Grade(%) - Million Tonnes - Iron Grade(%)

20% 581 25.3
15% 749 23.6
10% 793 23.1


With these positive results, Champion will initiate a PEA of the Harvey-Tuttle Project with BBA Inc. (Montreal, Qc). The PEA will include scoping the optimal cut-off grade and strip ratios in engineered pits and investigate potential synergies of integrating this new resource into Champion's existing PEA of the Fire Lake North Project located 10 km to the east. This will lead to an increased project scope for the planned PEA update and feasibility, expanding the potential growth profile for a centralized concentrator concept fed by several satellite open pit operations conceivably delivering economies of scale, reducing OPEX and increasing mine life.

Champion is planning for a second phase of 12,500 m of diamond drilling at Harvey-Tuttle that is designed to extend and delineate the known higher grade areas, and expects that the average grade of the deposit could potentially increase.

Tom Larsen, President and CEO stated, "The Harvey-Tuttle project is a large property and the mineral resources identified are from the first pass drilling designed to identify the most significant target areas. The full extent of most zones is still unknown and nearly 50% of the total magnetic responses are yet to be tested. A significant up-side is apparent at Harvey-Tuttle and suggests both the potential for a stand-alone mining/processing operation or integration of this resource into a larger centralized concentrator operation with several open pits included in a mine life schedule when combined with our flagship Fire Lake North Project as well as the Bellechasse Project."

Iron mineralization at Harvey-Tuttle is predominantly magnetite-quartz rich and in some areas contains core zones of higher grade specularite-magnetite mineralization. Metallurgical testing of samples collected from Harvey-Tuttle are in progress and Champion believes results will demonstrate the mineralization is amenable to produce typical concentrates grading 62 to 65% Iron using conventional gravity and magnetic separation methods.

Orientation metallurgical testing is underway to determine liberation size for optimal grinding and processing methods. BBA Inc. commented, "The addition of a magnetic separation circuit in the process flow sheet and optimizing grind size can liberate magnetite and yield concentrates grading 62 to 65% Iron. Metallurgical testing will be performed to confirm the appropriate processing methods and concentrate grades that can be achieved for the Harvey-Tuttle resource".

Mick McMullen, an Advisory Board member of the Company, stated "the inclusion of this large resource at Harvey-Tuttle into the Fire Lake North Feasibility Study should have a major positive impact on the already robust economics of that project. It is becoming clear that Champion's tenements contain not just one but at least two and potentially several more, properties that can support mine development."

Drilling is also planned at the O'Keefe-Purdy prospect located adjacent to Harvey-Tuttle. O'Keefe-Purdy hosts a Historical Resource of 51 MT grading 37% Total Iron hosted in three deposits and drilling could potentially increase this significantly.


The Fermont Iron Holdings

Three of the seventeen Projects within the Fermont Property Holdings, namely; Fire Lake North, Bellechasse and Harvey-Tuttle, contain current combined NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Mineral Resources totaling 1.55 Billion Tonnes grading 25.4% Total Iron at a 15% cut-off as detailed in the following table.


Inferred Mineral Resources @ 15% Total Iron Cut-off

Project - Million Tonnes - Iron Grade(%)

Bellechasse 215 28.7
Fire Lake 388 28.9
Harvey-Tuttle 947 23.2

Total 1,550 25.4


Seven other Projects within the Fermont Property Holdings contain additional combined Historical Mineral Resource Estimates(i) totaling 613 MT grading 31% Total Iron.

Patrick McManus, Managing Director of Potash West NL, told the Australian Investor that the tenements are in the Dandaragan Trough of Western Australia which hosts one of the largest glauconite deposits ever identified.

“We have the Potash and Phosphate rights for a very large land holding of an area that is rich in glauconite,” Mr. McManus said.

The strike of Potash West’s tenements is 120km long and 20km wide, and previous drilling has shown the targeted greenstone to be up to 200m thick.

Potassium is one of three fertiliser components for which there is no substitute, and this factor combined with increased agricultural commodity prices has resulted in the increased demand for potash.

The global demand for fertiliser is driven by China and India with prices for fertiliser high in historic terms. Australia is also an attractive market, as it currently imports all potash fertiliser requirements.

“Australia doesn’t produce any potash,” Mr. McManus said.

“This is an important opportunity for Australia to reduce its imports.”

In addition to the potash, there is also the potential for recovery of phosphate as a co-product.

“At this stage it’s likely that in some areas phosphate is present in seams,” Mr. McManus said.

“If that is the area where the potash is strongest we may produce phosphate as a by-product.”

The project has many advantages, including proximity to infrastructure and potential fertiliser markets, and the strength of the management team.

“I think the board has a range of complementary skills,” Mr. McManus told the Australian Investor.

“George Sakalidis and Adrian Griffin have spent many years, successfully running exploration companies. Gary Johnson has strong skills in hydrometallurgical process development and I have a background in project development and marketing in industrial minerals.

“The project is between two major highways, close to gas and a rail line.

“It’s very well situated in terms of infrastructure.”

Potash West NL’s IPO is now open and will close on the 4th April 2011. Funds from the IPO will be used in the evaluation of the commercial viability of exploiting the greensands in the Dandaragan Trough through scoping studies.

“If we are successful, in addition to local markets, we will be looking at a very large and long term export business to China and India,” Mr. McManus said.

The company expects to list on the 18th of April 2011 with proposed ASX code PWN. "

"Zamia Metals Inc (ASX:ZGM ) today announced that Reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) is continuing at Zamia’s Anthony molybdenum (Mo) discovery north of Clermont in central Queensland. This is targeting an increase in the Inferred Resource of 173 million tonnes (Mt) at 430 parts per million (ppm) Mo, including 20 Mt at 810 ppm Mo, as announced on 25 February 2011.

A review of previous assay results and geology indicates that the resource is still open in the south, east and west of the resource.

+ 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.

Brazil Claims World’s Third-Biggest Potash Deposits (Update2) - Reuters - May 5, 2009

- C. Caminada &J. Blount -
www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=axWs4cd5GiqE

"May 5 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil may hold the world’s third- largest potash reserves, following discoveries in the northern and eastern parts of the country, Agriculture Minister Reinhold Stephanes said.

Large potash deposits were found in the Amazon region and in Bahia and Espirito Santo states, in eastern Brazil, Stephanes said today in Sao Paulo, citing data from state-controlled Petroleo Brasileiro SA. The resources may help the country become self-sufficient in fertilizer within 10 years, Stephanes said, without saying how much each deposit may hold.

Brazil, which imports about 90 percent of its potash needs, is seeking new sources of fertilizer to fuel production of soybeans, sugar, ethanol, coffee and other agricultural commodities. The soil in Brazil, the world’s biggest grower of coffee, oranges and sugar cane, lacks nutrients and requires chemical additives. Potash is a generic name for several compounds containing potassium, used mostly as fertilizer.

“This is something new, not included in our country’s reserves,” said Luiz Alberto Melo de Oliveira, who oversees potassium resources for Brazil’s Department of Mining. “All of our known potassium reserves are in Sergipe state and the Amazon,” he said in an interview from Aracaju, Brazil.


Amazonian Deposit

The Amazonian deposit in northern Brazil contains an estimated 1 billion metric tons of potassium, said Helio Diniz, a geologist and manager of Falcon Metais Ltda. Only Canada, Russia and Belarus have larger reserves, Diniz said.

The Canadian-owned mining company did the potash exploration work in the Amazon. The potash salts in the Amazon deposit hold 30 percent to 40 percent potassium, he said.

The potassium content would be of similar quality to potash found in Canada, Diniz said in a telephone interview from Belo Horizonte.

“Only in Brazil are you going to find areas like Russia and Canada,” he said.

The deposit in Bahia and Espirito Santo runs along about 400 kilometers (248 miles) of coastline northeast of Rio de Janeiro and into the Reconcovo region near Salvador, according to the Agriculture Ministry. The Amazonian deposit stretches about 400 kilometers from Nova Olinda in Amazonas state, south of Manaus, northeast into Para state, near Santarem on the Tapajos River.

In 2007, Brazil had the world’s ninth-largest potassium reserves, according to Melo de Oliveira and the Mining Department’s Web site. The largest reserves are in Canada. Other large deposits are in Russia, Belarus, Germany, Jordan and Israel.


Previously Known Reserves

Brazil had 285 million metric tons of potassium-oxide reserves in 2007, the Mining Department said. Canada’s reserves were estimated at 11 billion tons.

The coast of Brazil in Bahia and Espirito Santo are part of sedimentary basins in which oil has been found. Such areas often hold salts and other crystallized solids that contain potassium that can be mined.

Petrobras officials didn’t return calls requesting comment.

Potassium is one of three key elements used in fertilizers. The others are nitrogen and phosphates. Brazil aims to produce enough nitrogen to supply domestic needs within five years and enough potash to meet demand in 10 years, Stephanes said. It is also working to increase phosphate output, he said.

“The issue of fertilizer is strategic for Brazil,” he said. “The government is preparing a self-sufficiency plan.”

Brazil is among the world’s largest producers of field crops including soybeans and corn.

Gasoline Hybrid Electric Delivery Vehicles Reduce Tailpipe Emissions While Maintaining Fuel Economy - NREL - Feb 23, 2011
www.nrel.gov/news/press/2011/941.html
www.nrel.gov/vehiclesandfuels/fleettest/pdfs/48896.pdf

"The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently completed a yearlong technology evaluation of gasoline hybrid electric (gHEV) trucks compared with conventional diesel vehicles. A report released this week details NREL’s efforts to determine the impact of hybridization on performance, emissions, and fuel economy.

The gHEV trucks produced substantially reduced tailpipe emissions during all drive cycles tested in the laboratory when compared to conventional diesel vehicles. On a drive cycle representing routes with frequent stops and accelerations, the gHEV trucks exhibited a 20 percent improvement in fuel economy while drive cycles representing routes with fewer stops and accelerations demonstrated similar fuel economy to the diesels.

“We conducted this study to show how a gasoline hybrid might perform compared to a conventional diesel truck given that gasoline engines are less efficient than diesel engines and generally not used in heavier vehicles,” said Lee Slezak, program manager for DOE’s Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity.

NREL’s Fleet Test and Evaluation Team collected and analyzed fuel economy, maintenance, and other vehicle performance data on three gHEV trucks and three conventional diesel trucks used for FedEx parcel delivery service in the Los Angeles area. The team also tested a hybrid and conventional truck at NREL’s Renewable Fuels and Lubricants Research Laboratory in Denver, Colo.

“Southern California continues to experience the worst air quality in the nation, and transitioning heavy-duty vehicle fleets to cleaner-burning vehicle technology is an important element of our overall clean air goals,” said Barry R. Wallerstein, executive officer of the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

Manufactured by Ford, the gHEV trucks feature 5.4L gasoline engines and hybrid propulsion systems produced by Azure Dynamics with 100kW electric motors, regenerative braking, and nickel-metal-hydride batteries.

FedEx Express operates more than 32,000 motorized vehicles in the United States, including 20 gHEVs on parcel delivery routes in Los Angeles and Sacramento, Calif. The FedEx Express hybrid fleet, which has driven more than 8 million miles in revenue service, includes an all-hybrid station in Bronx, N.Y., where nearly half of the vehicles are gHEVs.

This evaluation was funded by DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Program with additional funding from CALSTART and the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

NREL is the Department of Energy’s primary national laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. NREL is operated for DOE by The Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC.

Uranium exploration technology - U3O8.biz - Mar 9, 2011

- D. Brown -
www.u3o8.biz/s/MarketCommentary.asp?ReportID=446620&_Type=Ma…

"The exploration of uranium is similar to other forms of mineral prospecting in many regards with the exception of some specialized instruments for detecting the presence of radioactive isotopes. The use of remote sensing airborne detectors to prospect for radioactive minerals was first pioneered by a geophysicist working at Port Radium in 1943 named G.C. Ridland.

Exploring for uranium deposits today involves complex procedures because most of the remaining economic deposits reside in deep geological formations, and sophisticated technology is required to detect their existence. Technological deployments in uranium mining include geochemical analysis, geophysical surveys, satellite imagery and specialized computer programs.

In all stages of the geochemical and mineral exploration process, decisions are based upon site conditions, judgment, experience and relevant information. Quickly obtaining accurate exploration assay data to conduct mining operation decisions is one of the largest impediments to high productivity. Any improvement in the quality or efficiency in this data for rapid delineation of resource deposits and the in-depth, quantitative geochemical analysis of ore concentrations for mine mapping and grade control is critically important for mining operational functions.

Airborne gamma-ray spectrometry has now become a standard accepted technique for uranium prospecting with worldwide applications for geological mapping, mineral exploration & environmental monitoring. A deposit of uranium, discovered by geophysical techniques, is evaluated and sampled to determine the amounts of uranium materials that are extractable at specified costs from the deposit.


Traditional approach

Laboratory work and chemical assays are still fundamental for resource estimation and especially relevant for sandstone style uranium deposits in the determination of disequilibrium. The use of calibrated down hole gamma logs is standard practice in industry and is routinely used in exploration and resource estimates. One aspect of growth in the exploration of uranium has seen an increase in the use of portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) devices that can be used to get an on the spot reading, whilst the drill rig is still set up.

BMO Capital Markets Mining Analyst Ed Sterck discussed the technology with Uranium Investing News noting, "the XRF instruments are viewed as potentially useful but you have to be careful in how you use them. Using them in the field is possibly not the best way to employ them. The danger is when you just sample a very small area that just happens to be uranimite you will end up with a spectacular result."


Experience in the field

The challenges seem to always focus around a strong survey design using the proper equipment for the expected model in terms of depth and geometry, optimal sampling intervals for high-quality mapping resolution and cost effectiveness. As always, it is incumbent upon the geophysicist to determine the physical property characteristics of a target and its host rock, and to conduct orientation surveys to quantitatively assess optimum survey parameters.

Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) uranium logging system technology was significant in the detection and development of two of Australia's largest uranium deposits, the Beverley mine and Four Mile deposits in South Australia. The technology was originally developed in the US and has been extensively improved and streamlined for practical routine borehole logging application. The PFN borehole logging tool is unique in that it directly measures the content of uranium in boreholes, overcoming the problem of disequilibrium which limits the interpretation of uranium concentrations using gamma logging tools. PFN tools are being used extensively in American and Australian projects to establish uranium grades at a number of uranium mines and exploration projects.

Through the employment of these technological resources geophysics has seen large scale improvements in mapping resolution and depth of penetration; uranium exploration and development projects, mining operations and investors have all benefited. Compared with the technological limitations during the previous boom, the modern geophysicist has a much upgraded suite of hardware and software, readily enabling quantitative field analyses and interpretation which can be leveraged in laboratory work creating even more efficient resource evaluation.

South African Mining Companies in Southern Africa - SARWATCH - Apr 9, 2010

South African companies are increasingly looking for investment opportunities in the wider SADC region in a bid to benefit from favourable international markets for minerals, in competition with western &Asian companies. These investments have social &environmental impacts on people working in, &living around, mines. This book assesses South African mining &gas companies corporate governance &social responsibilities in five SADC countries: The Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia &Zimbabwe.


The expectation is high on the continent that companies from a country such as South Africa that has a strong rights-based constitution will adhere to globally accepted environmental &human rights standards when investing outside their home country borders, even in fragile states where regulation is difficult to implement &monitor. The main finding is that most SA companies behavior is appalling. Generally they do not respect their development agreement &operate differently from Chinese or Western companies.


The book recommends that:

+ South African banks must make public their lending practices, partners, &the agreed process of monitoring mining projects they fund in the SADC region.

+ The South African government must design guidelines for its companies investing outside its borders, especially in the area of environmental protection &human rights. Alternatively, it could simply embrace the OECD guidelines.

+ South African mining companies must respect &implement in full their development agreements when operating in the SADC region.

+ To ensure transparency &accountability in revenue collection &sharing, regional governments &South African mining companies must sign-up &implement the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).

+ The procurement policies of South African mining companies in the region must privilege local businesses where they operate instead of South African businesses. Where capacity does not exist, they must create it through education &training.

+ Host SADC governments must review their mining laws &contracts to raise revenues. This should not only target South African companies, but all companies, including their own national companies.

+ Corporate social responsibility must cease to be a Public Relation exercise (as it is for most South African companies) &become an integrated policy for social &economic &sustainable development of communities in the SADC region.

+ South African companies must engage &provide the necessary information to civil society organisations in these countries to allow them to do their job of monitoring extractive activities. For this to be effective, governments in SADC must have in place access to information acts which compel every institution to provide information to citizens when they need it. ...

Hazelwood Resources - Mt Mulgine Hill Resource Boosts Tungsten Inventory by 67% - Mar 1, 2011

HL:

+ Hazelwood is pleased to announce its maiden Mineral Resource for the Mt Mulgine Hill Deposit in the mid-west of Western Australia (HAZ 70%, GBG 30%). The Mulgine Hill Deposit adds another 1.7 million metric tonnes units (17,000 tonnes of contained WO3) to the tungsten resource inventory available to the Company, representing a 67% increase.*

+ The total JORC Mineral Resource for the Mulgine Hill Deposit, @a cut-off grade of 0.1% WO3 is 8.2 Mt @ 0.21% WO3. Of this, 76% is in the Indicated Resource category (Table 1).

+ The resource @Mulgine Hill has potential to increase the amount of feedstock available for the ATC Ferrotungsten Project in Vietnam. The ATC Ferrotungsten Project is nearing completion &is scheduled to commence commissioning during the current quarter. Initially the ferrotungsten furnace will operate on feedstock procured from outside sources.

+ Mulgine Hill is one of two known deposits of tungsten @the Mt Mulgine Project, located in the mid-west region of Western Australia. Significant amounts of historical exploration &evaluation work had been undertaken on the project, including 22,000 metres of tungsten exploration drilling, &the sinking of shafts and underground drives for metallurgical testwork.

+ The Mulgine Hill Deposit alone had previously been drill tested with 213 diamond core holes for 12,987 metres of drilling. Hazelwood has made use of archived drillcore, re-assaying 10% of the previously assayed intervals for validation purposes. Typical drill spacing @Mulgine Hill is 40m x 40m &the average drillhole depth is only 60 metres.

+ The deposit is shallow, hosting 95% of the resource within 100 metres of the surface.
Confirmatory drilling is proposed to better de-risk the resource. Studies to assess the development of Mulgine Hill as a source of feedstock for ferrotungsten or sodium tungstate production are also planned. The ATC Ferrotungsten Project also has licensing in place for sodium tungstate.

+ Adding to the exploration upside @Mt Mulgine is the large tungsten &molybdenum target @the Trench Deposit, where historic estimates suggest a very significant scale. Validation work on the Trench Deposit has commenced. The Trench Deposit is polymetallic, &also hosts significant molybdenum mineralisation.

+ Hazelwood’s 100% Owned Big Hill Tungsten Deposit in the Pilbara already hosts a Proved
&Probable Ore Reserve capable of sustaining a 12 year operational life. A pre-feasibility study for Big Hill provided a positive development scenario for that project as a secure source of feedstock for the ATC Ferrotungsten Project. It is proposed to implement Big Hill by ´13.

+ Ferrotungsten prices for material exported out of China recently exceeded $US50/kg of contained tungsten, driven by the rising cost of feedstock. Big Hill &, potentially, Mulgine Hill, offer a longer term source of feedstock as the global supply of tungsten raw materials continues to tighten. ...
