Mattis Accuses Trump of Dividing the Nation in a Time of Crisis
June 4, 2020 admin	0 Comments
WASHINGTON — Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, breaking months of public silence on President Trump since resigning in protest in December 2018, on Wednesday offered a withering critique of the president's leadership amid growing protests across the country.
"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try," Mr. Mattis wrote in a statement issued late Wednesday. "Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership."
Mr. Mattis, a retired four-star Marine Corps general, also criticized comments by the current defense secretary, Mark T. Esper, who in recent days has described protest sites across the nation as a "battle space" to be cleared.
"We must reject any thinking of our cities as a 'battle space' that our uniformed military is called upon to 'dominate,'" Mr. Mattis wrote. "At home, we should use our military only when requested to do so, on very rare occasions, by state governors. Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict — a false conflict — between the military and civilian society."
Mr. Trump fired back on Twitter. "Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world's most overrated General," he said, although Mr. Mattis quit.
In 2013, Mr. Mattis was pushed out of his job as head of the military's U.S. Central Command because he was viewed as too much of a hawk on Iran policy during the Obama administration.
In his tweet, the president added: "His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom 'brought home the bacon'. I didn't like his 'leadership' style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone!"
Mr. Mattis's condemnation carries huge weight in military circles, where he remains highly influential. In the insular world of Marines, he has an almost cultlike status. But that influence extends far beyond just the military to include much of the national security establishment, members of Congress, foreign dignitaries and defense contractors.
For instance, at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, Calif., last December, Mr. Mattis, gliding through a reception of influential national security thinkers from government and the private sector, was stopped constantly by people who wanted to shake his hand and take photos with him. A crowd of people trailed him as he made his way through the hall, amid excited murmurs of, "Hey, Mattis is here."
But his refusal to publicly denounce Mr. Trump since his resignation — over the president's decision to withdraw troops from Syria — earned him criticism even from some longtime admirers. He repeatedly told reporters who sought comment from him or engaged him during a tour of his best-selling book that he did not want to criticize a sitting commander in chief.
But the events of Monday night, in which Mr. Trump put peaceful American protesters squarely in the cross hairs of the American military that is sworn to protect the Constitution, was a step too far for Mr. Mattis, people who have spoken to him say.
"When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution," Mr. Mattis wrote. "Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the constitutional rights of their fellow citizens — much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander in chief, with military leadership standing alongside."
During a long and tense Monday night, protesters in Lafayette Square near the White House were forcibly removed so Mr. Trump could walk to a nearby church — with the Mr. Esper and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark A. Milley — for a photo op.
"We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers," Mr. Mattis said. "The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values — our values as people and our values as a nation."
Citing James Madison's Federalist Paper 14, Mr. Mattis said: "We do not need to militarize our response to protests. We need to unite around a common purpose. And it starts by guaranteeing that all of us are equal before the law."
Reached by phone at his home in Washington State on Wednesday night, Mr. Mattis declined to comment.
In Mr. Mattis's early days as defense secretary, he often ate dinner with the president in the White House residence. Over hamburgers, and with the help of briefing folders, Mr. Mattis explained to Mr. Trump key points about the United States' relationships with allies — a bedrock principle for the former general turned secretary.
But Mr. Mattis also quietly slow-walked many of Mr. Trump's proposals, including banning transgender troops, starting a Space Force and putting on a costly military parade in the capital. In each case, he went through the motions of acquiescing to the White House — and then buried the plans in Defense Department red tape.
By late 2018, the relationship between Mr. Mattis and Mr. Trump had deteriorated badly. The widely accepted narrative that Mr. Mattis was the adult in the room, an anchor of reason in a stormy White House, came to annoy the president.
Even as his influence with Mr. Trump waned, however, Mr. Mattis repeatedly told friends and aides that he viewed his responsibility to protect the United States' 1.3 million active-duty troops as worth the concessions necessary as defense secretary to a mercurial president.
But Mr. Trump's abrupt decision in late December 2018 to withdraw roughly 2,000 American troops from eastern Syria without consulting allies was a step too far for Mr. Mattis, and he resigned. Mr. Mattis's letter of resignation condemned Mr. Trump's approach to the world as destructive to American influence and power.
In his statement on Wednesday, Mr. Mattis sounded a call to arms of a different sort than have resounded in the streets near the White House, and across the country.
"We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square," Mr. Mattis said. "We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution."

Individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be at greater risk for cardiovascular disease than HIV-uninfected individuals. Markers of inflammation, immune activation, and coagulation are associated with mortality, HIV disease progression, vascular disease, and diabetes within persons infected with HIV; yet, the drivers of increased inflammation and cardiovascular risk in HIV disease remain unclear.
In order to answer clinically relevant basic research questions, and as clinical and laboratory researchers are growing farther and farther apart with increasing specialization, there will be a growing and compelling need for translational researchers who can bridge the gap between the bench and the clinic. Dr. Funderburg's experience in a top notch translational research team has both inspired and prepared him for this career direction. Dr. Funderburg's research training has provided him with an excellent foundation in laboratory techniques and a solid understanding of HIV immunology and the role of the innate immune system in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis.
The Funderburg Lab is involved in the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG), and has worked on several national clinical trials aimed at reducing chronic immune activation and inflammation in HIV-infected patients (ACTG A5248, A5331, A5275, A5296, among others); and the Funderburg lab has also contributed to the highly successful single site trial (SATURN-HIV), led by Dr. Grace McComsey at Case Western Reserve University, that explored the immune-modulatory effects of rosuvastatin on ART treated HIV-infected patients. Overall, the goal of the Funderburg lab is to perform clinically relevant research and to train translational scientists capable of bridging the gap between the lab and the clinic.


I've just seen this site, which looks really useful! I have a 1995 s124 e300d. I've had it for a couple of years now, and its wonderful - the magic carpet ride is great (when the SLS is working!), its also great to be able to run on WVO, which its been fine on. Its had a few issues though, like one of the rear drive shafts snapped, the SLS pipes leaking and spheres needing replacement and also rust!
I have been searching for fixes for things and the forum is really helpful - so I'll try and search those before asking any new questions. However, I think I have a couple of things which I can't find the answer for, so I may post about those.
You can ask questions you do not know on the forum!

The Red Hook Community Justice Center is a community court that was created to address the unique social and judicial needs of its surrounding neighborhood — the 72nd, 76th, and 78th Precincts.
The Justice Center is a collaborative effort of the Brooklyn DA's Office, the Center for Court Innovation, the Office of Court Administration and the defense bar.
A team of assistant district attorneys, handling about 3,200 misdemeanors each year, is specifically assigned to the Justice Center. They have an in-depth knowledge of the community, frequently attending community meetings and participating in neighborhood events.
As a problem-solving court, the Justice Center seeks to resolve cases in ways that make amends to the community, address the needs of the victim, and endeavor to effectively change the defendant's behavior.
Sentences often include intensive drug or alcohol treatment, mediation, anger management classes, GED classes, youth groups, vehicular programs, and more. The courthouse is also the hub for an array of innovative programs that contribute to reducing fear and improving community trust in the justice system. These include a youth court where teenagers are trained to resolve actual cases involving their peers.
Additionally, the Justice Center has an AmeriCorps program, named the New York Juvenile Justice Corps, and a housing resource center, which provides support and information to residents with cases in housing court.
The Justice Center was the model for the Brooklyn Young Adult Court, which now provides similar services in the rest of the borough outside of Red Hook.

PREP STUDIES STUDENTS // PHOTO SUPPLIED BY PREP STUDIES PROGRAM
New year, new programs
Prep Studies offering all-new programs in 2017 for young singers
The Desautels Faculty of Music is set to ring in the new year with new programs that promote music education for children, teens and adults.
Prep Studies has three new group classes starting in January.
Whether a student is interested in classical or pop vocals, each of the three new classes offer a place for singers to discover their vocal potential and the joy of singing.
Adventures in Singing is offered for children in grades one through six. Students will learn about healthy vocal production while exploring music that they love to sing. The program offers lessons on breath control, singing posture, musicianship, harmony and performance techniques.
In Pop Vocals, students grade five through 12 will learn vocal training exercises designed to create strong, healthy pop vocals.
In The Singing Musician – University Prep, students in grade 10 and up (including adults) will discover how to build a foundation in practical musicianship and prepare for post-secondary studies in music. Class topics will include healthy vocal technique, sight-singing and solfeggio, rudimentary theory, performance techniques and more.
The programs are taught by Shannon Unger, a graduate of the University of Manitoba (B. Mus.), who has also earned a master of music vocal performance, a doctorate of musical arts, and certifications in contemporary commercial pedagogy as well as vocal physiology studies.
She notes that these programs supplement musical education in the school system.
"This type of programming is essential at a time when funding and time allotments for arts education are diminishing," says Unger. "The group class format makes exploring singing lessons an affordable option and offers an introduction that we hope will foster a lifelong commitment to music and the arts."
All students will participate in an end-of-term performance showcase which give them the opportunity to try out and share their new skills.

NEW In 2022: THE LIBBY SHOW Now on Youtube
Interview: Christmas Romance/Hallmark/Ion Movie Writer Joany Kane - Hear About her Inspirations, On Writing Christmas Movies Before they Were Popular and Her Advice for all Aspiring Christmas Movie Writers
By Suzanne Ordas Curry
As I am HUGE fan of Christmas movies, I had a lot of questions for prolific writer Joany Kane, whom I met after she gave a presentation at Christmas Con (by That's 4 Entertainment) a few years back. I ask her about how she got started, about her very popular movie The Christmas Card and how she keeps churning out scripts that we all love to watch. I was fascinated to get inside her head to see what gets her going and after reading her memoir, I got to learn how she landed where she is now. And I must add that it was quite a joy to get to know her, it's no surprise that someone who writes movies with happy endings has a positive, rosy outlook on living life and was a joy to interview.
Suzee: We all love Christmas movies!! Tell me how you got started writing Christmas movies.
Joany Kane: The very first Christmas script I ever wrote was Twas The Night and I wrote it back in the mid 1990s long before there was a Hallmark Channel or a Christmas movie craze. (The Hallmark Channel started in 2001.) I stumbled my way through writing the script because back then there wasn't even Google to easily look things up.
Twas The Night is about a family of 4 that gets trapped in a magical timeless Vermont village on Christmas Eve – the village is home to Santa Claus. During the evening the mom & dad rediscover their romantic love for each other and the teenage daughter discovers first love. It was a quintessential story of busy harried city folk rediscovering the true meaning of Christmas/Christmas romance thanks to a quaint country setting; the trope-iest of Hallmark storylines more than a decade before it became a trope. :) I've optioned the script a bunch of times but it hasn't been turned into a movie yet.
Suzee: What kind of experience/training did you have? Do you consider yourself a "romance writer?"
I stumbled into screenwriting. I had an idea for a movie and then set out to teach myself how to write in script style and format. I try to devour everything I can on how to write screenplays (via craft books purchased through Amazon and online websites dedicated to helping screenwriters like Stage 32 and Inktip.) Everything I write has a romance in it and I've written scripts in most every genre; comedy, mystery, adventure, holiday, western, horror, etc. The label that I strive to be would be – enchantment conjurer. :)
Suzee: What was the pivotal moment in your career, or the first time that a script you wrote was turned in to a movie?
Joany Kane: The first screenplay I ever wrote was a comedy script "86 Management." (A Mel Brooks styled slapstick comedy.) I wrote it around 1994. This was before the internet and emails so I had to snail mail pitches. I snail mailed a pitch for the script to Bette Midler (I thought she'd have a lot of fun with the villain in the story.) She asked to read the script.
While she did pass on it, she was very encouraging and saw potential in me. (She also told me to lay off the Jimmy Buffett. :) (I wrote a whole bunch of Jimmy Buffett songs into the script.) Editor's Note: We need Jimmy Buffet in everything.
My first screenplay sale and movie made was for The Christmas Card. I wrote the screenplay in 1999, 2 years before there was a Hallmark Channel. The script sold to Hallmark in 2003. The movie premiered on December 2, 2006.
Joany Kane with Logger Honey and Santa - their first Christmas
Suzee: Tell me about how your Logger Honey inspired your first movie and your upcoming novel.
Joany Kane: I met Logger Honey the first Friday of January 1999, when I was in the midst of trying to figure out the story/script for The Christmas Card. I had to take a part-time job at the time to supplement my fledgling Hollywood screenwriting career. So I started an office job the week of Christmas 1998 at a lumber yard.
While working on the script for The Christmas Card over the 1998 holiday season I knew four things about the script. I knew I wanted to honor my dad who had been a medic in World War II having served in the European Campaign. I knew I wanted to honor my mom who mailed out hundreds of Christmas cards every holiday season. The title of the movie is in her honor.
I knew that the romance would be between a young woman who sends a Christmas card to a serviceman and he, inspired by the sentiment in the card, sets out to meet her. I knew that I wanted to write a holiday romance because I really wanted to see holiday romances on the screen. In the late 1990s there weren't really many new holiday movies, let alone holiday romances, to watch on any screens. (Cable was still in its infancy and there weren't any streamers.)
Other than those four "knews," I had nothing. Over the 1998 holiday season I pondered and percolated on filling in the details for the screenplay but nothing clicked. Even though I was frustrated by the feeling that the story was not yet within reach, I had such a strong gut feeling about this story. It lived with me night and day, tickling my heart and soul, nudging me that it needed to be written whether it found an audience or not, that having all of the story elements click was just within reach.
Suzee: Romance novels frequently rely on love at first sight- tell me how it IS real.
Joany Kane: And then I met Logger Honey - and fell head over Keds sneakers in love the very moment I laid eyes on him. It was the kind of love at first sight you read about in romance novels. It was, and still is, the kind of romance you watch on the Hallmark Channel. The first moment our eyes locked I was warp speed blown away. The feeling startled the dickens out of me because at that point in time, at the age of 34, I was a happy spinster.
But then my eyes met his. At noontime. On January 8th, the first Friday of the year 1999. And my entire life changed in a single heartbeat. That may sound a tad Harlequin, but holy wow, true it was. It was that first meeting with Logger Honey that helped inspire the writing of The Christmas Card which I detail in my memoir "Romancing Christmas." Now, near 23 years later (at this writing in 2022,) when Logger Honey smiles at me, it's exactly like that love at first sight moment. It was not only love at first sight the first moment I saw Logger Honey, it's been love at first sight every single moment since.

Suzee: TWO new movies in 2021. WOW! Tell me about the inspiration for these movies.
Joany Kane: This is a fantastic example of never give up on a dream, hope or goal. I wrote a couple of Christmas scripts, Dial S For Santa and Holiday Hideout well over 10 years ago. But because Holiday Hideout had a crime element and Dial S For Santa had a relationship between the female lead and her young nephew that was of equal importance as the romantic relationship, the two scripts weren't a fit for Hallmark.
Hallmark was really the only game in town for Christmas content back then and they were really leaning into their formula (an already successful woman without love finds it at Christmastime, often in a small town or hometown while helping to save a business or save Christmas, and becomes even more successful and fulfilled by the end of the movie.) I was able to sell the 2 scripts to ION in 2021 because they were looking for stories with a bit of a crime angle to fit their marketing campaign of "It's the most wonderful crime of the year." My two older scripts became the movies The Christmas Thief and A Christmas Witness. (I didn't choose the titles, once a producer and/or distributor buys the project they can change whatever they want.)
Suzee: What do you think is the most important part of a Christmas/romance movie? Is it likeable, empathetic characters? Name actors? A good story? A fantastic setting? Please prioritize.
Joany Kane: Casting is crucial but it doesn't necessarily have to be name actors; they just need to be right for the characters and the lead couple has to have chemistry. The movie needs to make me feel; to feel nostalgia, romance, love, joy, hope. I don't really care if they save the candle store, and we all know the couple is going to get together at the end, so it's the journey the filmmakers take me on that matters most.
It's the designing of the individual scenes and the feelings the scenes inspire and that is thanks to how the filmmaker paints the picture via a mix of music, visuals, location, and most importantly character connection. I love the scene in The Holiday between Kate Winslet and Jack Black when they're at his place seated at the keyboard and Jack's character shares with Kate's character the tune he wrote for her; that's such a beautifully crafted scene with the character connection the heart & soul of the scene. The Holiday is a good example of a movie loaded with touching moments beautifully crafted.
Suzee: Tell me about the writing process. Where do you go? Do you have a special place or desk? Do you have notebooks full of ideas? Do you write for hours at a time? How long does it take you to write a full screenplay?
Joany Kane: I'm still old school where I start the stories in actual notebooks, plotting them and outlining them with a pad and a pen. For the romance scripts I try to come up with between at least 6-12 "moments" that I think will be memorable; if it's a Hallmark/Lifetime/TV movie with act breaks I like to have at least 1 memorable moment per act. (Hallmark movies are broken up into 9 acts and an act happens between commercial breaks.)
I find walking in the woods or around my small town helps get the internal thought process ignited and I always take a small pad and pen with me on my walks. I compose the actual screenplays in a software program called Final Draft. I'm usually sitting on my bed with my TV on while I tickle the keyboard on my Mac laptop transcribing my hand-notes into my laptop. Some stories grab such a hold of me and won't let go until I crank out a first draft, others I can work on a bit here and there.
With The Christmas Card I had the first initial idea for it at the time I was writing Twas The Night in 1994 but it had to percolate inside of me until the holiday season of 1998 and then I could think of nothing else but the script. Until I met Logger Honey and then from the time I started writing it Christmas-New Year's week of 1998-1999 until I finished the first draft in March of 1999 (3 months basically) I pretty much thought of nothing else but the script and Logger Honey. I was falling deeper in love with him at the very time I wrote The Christmas Card.
Suzee: What is the best part about seeing your work on television?
Joany Kane: I used to love to watch my movies with my mom. We'd spend premiere night together and have a slumber party at her house (which was my old childhood home.) To see how excited she'd get when she saw my name in the credits was such a joy. I miss her so much. The best part was who I was with when I watched my movies.
From the set of Moonlight and Mistletoe Courtesy Joany Kane
Suzee: Are you on set? Any good production stories?
Joany Kane: The only time I was on set was for Moonlight & Mistletoe, Candace Cameron Bure's first Hallmark movie. It was shot in Vermont not too far from where I live in Massachusetts. I stayed in the same B&B as actress Barbara Niven. Barbara is a radiant delight, such a beautiful person inside and out. She treated everyone on set with joyful kindness.
Suzee: Was there ever a movie you did that did not end up looking like you had envisioned it - either negatively or positively?
Joany Kane: I wrote an ode to the Beauty & The Beast fable titled Christmas Belle. It ended up on ION. The original script leaned into the Gothic romance and vibe of the fable while the movie ended up being more of a standard holiday rom com. There was one scene I wrote that I loved. It was between the female lead and the male lead's little dog. The female lead looks out the kitchen window and sees the male lead ("the beast") chopping firewood, and it's this moment that she first feels an attraction to him. She looks at the little dog and they exchange a knowing grin like "yeah, he's kinda hot." That scene was changed (not by me) to the female lead sitting on the front porch and when the male lead returns from jogging (and he's not wearing a shirt) she comments on him being shirtless.
Suzee: I love the term "romancing Christmas". Tell us about your new website.
Joany Kane:At the tail end of 2021 I launched www.romancingchristmas.com so I could have my memoir "Romancing Christmas" available for a pdf download. I had released a children's picture book "My Unicorn Adventure With Mom" (that I created with an actress from "The Christmas Card," Glorinda Marie) via Amazon and that book has gotten lost in the behemoth of Amazon, plus Amazon takes a pretty big chunk of the profits.
So I thought I'd go the independent route with the memoir and have it available just from the website to start, see how well it's received and if it inspires anyone. If the initial readers spark to it I'll see about going wider with it. "Romancing Christmas" is my love story with Logger Honey, with my mom, and with my Hollywood dreams. How The Christmas Card came to be is a romance worthy of a Hallmark movie. 
Suzee: What advice can you give to an aspiring romance writer?
Joany Kane: Read, watch and write. Repeat repeatedly. Read as many scripts as you can (you can find a ton online,) read up on the industry (via sites like Deadline, Hollywood Reporter.) Read the classics and bestsellers, read books, short stories, blogs from genres that interest you. Read craft articles and books (a ton online, on Amazon, on Barnes & Noble.) Watch anything you can, especially content that is similar to what you want to write.
Take notes as you watch to pay attention to what happens when and how. I try to watch at least one episode of every show that premieres on cable and on the streamers; I pay attention to who writes them, directs them and produces them. If the show is similar to something I'm working on I'll research everything I can on the show and watch every episode and write a report on it.
Write every day, even if it's just jotting ideas, a scene, notes in a journal. One thing I write in every single day is my gratitude journal, I'll write what I'm thankful for that happened that day. Even if it was a crappy discouraging day, I'll find something to be grateful for from a bird song to a hug from Logger Honey.

Suzee: What projects do you have in the works of foresee in the future?
Joany Kane: I have a few Christmas romances that I hope are going into production in 2022: The Christmas Garden, A Christmas Yarn and Somewhere in Christmastime. The project I'm most excited about is A Merry Scary Christmas Tale. I'm producing that one and hope to be one of the directors (it's an anthology holiday movie.)
Back in the days of Victorian England telling scary stories around the fireside at Christmastime was a beloved holiday tradition. Telling scary stories at Christmastime was to the British what Hallmark holiday romance movies are to us. That's how the world got Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." He wrote that to be read aloud as part of the scary storytelling tradition.
My goal is to launch a brand of content and to expand it to include "A Merry Scary Halloween Tale" and provide fun, festive (and frightening) content in the BER season (September, October, November, December.) But fun frightening, like old school Vincent Price movies, Gothic Jane Eyre-esque romances and "Hocus Pocus."

Furlough extended to end April 2021
Posted on 17th December 2020 by Whitethorn Accountants
During an announcement to Parliament today, 17 December 2020, the Chancellor confirmed the following:
An extension of the furlough scheme until the end of April 2021,
The date for Budget 2021 has been fixed as 3 March 2021, and
Businesses will have until the end of March 2021 to apply for Government backed, Bounce-Back and other loan schemes.
In a following press release it was confirmed:
The furlough scheme has been extended until the end of April 2021, with the Government continuing to contribute 80% towards wages – giving businesses and employees across the UK certainty into the New Year, the Chancellor announced today. The eligibility criteria for the UK-wide scheme will remain unchanged and these changes will continue to apply to all Devolved Administrations. Extending the scheme until the end of April means businesses across the country will have certainty about what support will be available to them.
Businesses will also be given until the end of March to access the Bounce Back Loan Scheme, Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, and the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme. These had been due to close at the end of January.

Fortune Minerals Scales Back Mine Plans on Cobalt Price Volatility
Priscila Barrera
Oct. 03, 2019 01:55PM PST
The company had been evaluating an expanded mill throughput rate of 6,000 tonnes of ore per day, up from 4,650 tonnes of ore per day in a previous study.
Canadian cobalt developer Fortune Minerals (TSX:FT,OTCQB:FTMDF) is scaling back its NICO cobalt-gold project in the Northwest Territories, Canada, due to the current cobalt price volatility.
The Ontario-based company had been evaluating an expanded mill throughput rate of 6,000 tonnes of ore per day, up from 4,650 tonnes of ore per day in a previous study.
But following months of weak cobalt prices, Fortune has decided that the financial benefits of an expansion will not justify the additional capital requirements of a larger project.
In a press release, Fortune President and CEO Robert Goad said that the current price environment, which has seen curtailments from the world's largest cobalt mines, is not conducive to an expanded, capital-intensive project at this time.
"However, the world continues to transition to electric mobility and will require new sources of cobalt that are independent of the Congo to meet the increase in demand from the battery sector," he added. Cobalt is a key element in the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric cars.
In August, top cobalt producer Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTC Pink:GLCNF) announced plans to shut down the Mutanda mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) at the end of the year, saying it is no longer economically viable. Mutanda is the world's largest cobalt mine, with its cobalt output reaching more than 27,000 tonnes last year — a fifth of global cobalt supply.
The DRC is the world's largest cobalt producer, but mining in the country has often been linked to child labor and human right abuses, prompting companies to develop projects outside the African country.
Currently there is no large-scale output coming from other countries, but developing new resources outside the DRC to gain control over the cobalt supply chain has been a key topic of discussion since the start of the year.
Looking ahead, Fortune said it is in talks with potential strategic partners interested in North American supply of cobalt, gold and bismuth. It also is optimizing the development plans for its project in the current environment of metal price volatility.
To optimize the NICO project, Fortune is evaluating options including working on a new mine plan based on low-cost open-pit mining, while increasing production in the early years of the mine with selective underground mining of gold-rich mineralized material.
The company is also considering aligning its development schedule with the expected deficit in cobalt supply, which most analysts agree could happen in 2022 to 2023.
The NICO deposit contains open-pit and underground proven and probable mineral reserves totaling 33 million tonnes containing 1.1 million ounces of gold, 82 million pounds of cobalt, 102 million pounds of bismuth and 27 million pounds of copper. At the planned mill throughput rate of 4,650 tonnes of ore per day, mineral reserves will sustain operations for 20 years.
Aside from NICO, Fortune owns the Sue-Dianne copper-silver-gold deposit, which is a potential future source of incremental mill feed to extend the life of the NICO project mill.
On Thursday (October 3), shares of Fortune Minerals were trading up 6.67 percent in Toronto at C$0.08.
