On June 28, First Nations mining contractor Nahanni Construction Ltd. dug a scoop of ore from the North T open pit at Vital Metals Ltd.'s Nechalacho project in Northwest Territories that marked a momentous milestone – Canada is now a rare earths-producing nation. This first REE ore mined at Nechalacho comes just two years after Australia-based Vital came up with a unique plan to take advantage of relatively small but high-grade mineralization coming to the surface at the project to rapidly produce the rare earths widely used in today's high-tech devices. North T has 101,000 metric tons of resources averaging...

A Chinese gene company selling prenatal tests around the world developed them in collaboration with the country's military and is using them to collect genetic data from millions of women for sweeping research on the traits of populations, a Reuters review of scientific papers and company statements found. U.S. government advisors warned in March that a vast bank of genomic data that the company, BGI Group, is amassing and analyzing with artificial intelligence could give China a path to economic and military advantage. As science pinpoints new links between genes and human traits, access to the biggest, most diverse set...

Children face an 'extremely low' one in 500,000 risk of dying from the coronavirus, researchers have found. In England, just 25 under-18s have died from Covid, which equates to around two in a million, experts said. Young people with pre-existing medical conditions, like heart disease and cancer, and severe disability, which can include cerebral palsy and autism, have a higher chance of becoming seriously ill from the virus. But the scientists - from three top British universities - said this risk is no higher then the risk from flu. Teenagers, black and obese children were also at higher risk from...

Pfizer announced on Thursday that its COVID vaccine booster shot could further protect individuals from "all currently known variants" of COVID-19 — including the highly transmittable Delta variant. The booster shot is currently undergoing trials, the company said, and has shown "encouraging clinical trial data in a small number of participants in our study." Pfizer said that the initial two doses that patients received have elicited "strong immune responses" against the Delta variant and that current studies are focused on whether the booster shot will increase that response even further. Trial data has shown that when given six months after...

Does the thought of an attention getting pandemic make you proudly smirk or smile gleefully? If so, you may be Bill and Melinda Gates.In addition to devoting their lives to population control, they just happen to be the largest donors to the CDC's Foundation (501c3), have entwined their own foundation with the NIH for many, many years (the NIH Foundation also accepts donations) and Bill is regarded as a visiting head of state or deity by the World Health Organization. It took them years, but they and other 'donors' like George Soros, Pfizer etc. have captured our medical establishment.Many doctors...

For SLS, two well documented, and visible changes have been made to the boosters, which are technically called Five Segment Reusable Solid Rocket Motor (RSRMV): the addition of a fifth propellant segment and the removal of all recovery and reuse hardware. The added fifth segment will produce 20% greater average thrust and 24% greater total impulse over the Shuttle-era design and will marginally increase the overall burn time of the five-segment SRBs to approximately 2 minutes 12 seconds, ten seconds longer than Shuttle. The new segment will increase the overall thrust each booster is capable of producing, with each five-segment...
