Abandoned Coal Mines Now Providing Winter Heating to Communities in Europe

A ground-breaking project in the English town of Gateshead is using abandoned coal mines to provide winter heating to hundreds of businesses and homes. The former coal community has been drawing heat from the warm water filling the labyrinth of old coal mining tunnels for the last six months. With an estimated one-quarter of homes in the United Kingdom sitting atop networks of coal tunnels, the pilot project shows that using abandoned coal mines for heating could be a feasible option for millions of UK residences. The project provides a means for the UK to leverage coal mines that are…

World Gold Council Expects Q4 2023 to Exhibit Gold Market Turbulence

After a historic gold-buying spree by central banks propped up the precious metal’s price, gold has seen its performance wane in recent months amid increasing inflation and higher interest rates. Gold prices went down by 3.7% last month, the World Gold Council reports, and the organization expects market turbulence in the last quarter of the year to place further pressure on gold prices. The precious metal typically performs strongly during uncertain times, but high interest rates coupled with a strong dollar reduced interest in gold as…

IMARC 2023: Exploring the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the mining industry

The global mining industry is at a critical juncture in its engagement with First Nations communities, with progress on economic participation and employment being tempered by ongoing challenges around cultural heritage and land use. The destruction of Indigenous heritage sites in the western Pilbara in 2020, which attracted world headlines, has brought the relationship between mining leaders and traditional landowners into sharp focus.

Tellurium Could Accelerate Transition to Green Energy

First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTCQB: FSTTF), a Delta, Canada-based company that is currently developing next-generation battery technologies, may play a significant role in the global green-energy transition thanks to a mineral called tellurium. The mineral has applications in everything from solid-state battery designs to thermoelectric devices and solar panels that can transform energy from the sun into relatively low-carbon energy. While conventional batteries use a polymer gel or liquid electrolyte to move lithium ions from the anode and cathode, solid-state batteries rely on solid electrolytes to carry ions between the electrodes. Lithium-tellurium batteries outclass conventional lithium-ion batteries in terms…
