Tearlach Resources Expands Lithium Portfolio.; Rock Tech Lithium Co Founder and Lithium Experts Lead Tearlach Resources.

VANCOUVER, CANADA – EQS Newswire – 9 January 2023 – Tearlach Resources is pleased to announce it will acquire 2 additional lithium mining projects in Canada. The company now has 5 lithium projects located in Canada.

Tearlach is a company where the world’s leading lithium experts have come together on a quest to discover “Super Lithium”. Most investors don’t know that super lithium is the lithium that is actually needed for batteries.

Tearlach resources is led by Paul Chow who is co-founder and former CEO of Rock Tech Lithium, which is one of the most successful lithium companies.

Tearlach Resources is also led by Lindsay Bottomer who is co-founder of the Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia which is one of the world’s largest copper mines.

Tearlach Resources was recently publicly listed in USA, Canada and Germany and the shares of this company are available for purchase in Germany (ISIN CA8779052080 WKN: A1JUY9).

It is also listed in the United States under OTC: TELHF and in Canada on the TSX.V: TEA

The company now owns 5 lithium projects in Canada.

The US military has recently announced that it will be funding Canadian mining projects amid tensions with China.

It illustrates how Canadian mining is becoming the nexus of a colossal geopolitical struggle. Ottawa just pushed Chinese state-owned companies out of the sector, and the US is now moving public funding in.

In addition to the US military funding Canadian energy metal mining companies, Canada’s Québec government has revealed that it is in talks with Tesla about the automaker investing in the province.

A representative for Pierre Fitzgibbon, Québec’s economy minister, confirmed that the official met with Tesla executives in California recently.

“The minister met with Tesla executives during a mission in California last month. They discussed Quebec’s place in Tesla’s supply chain.”

Thus, Canada is quickly becoming the hottest area for energy metal mining.

The pedigree of the board is one that would only associate themselves with Top tier projects. The Projects are all located in an area where there have been massive lithium discoveries.

VinFuture foundation officially calls for nominations for the 2023 season

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach – 9 January 2023 – The VinFuture Prize officially kicks off its 2023 season with the nomination period open from 14:00 January 9th, 2023, to 14:00 May 15th, 2023 (GMT+7). The 3rd season of the VinFuture Prize is focused on scientific and technological innovations and solutions that help promote resilient and sustainable development amid the forecasted global socioeconomic challenges in 2023.

Caption

In 2023, humanity will face many challenges due to the impact of global conflicts and economic challenges. According to the World Food Program, an additional 50 million people could be on the brink of starvation by 2023. In addition, global energy consumption is expected to increase amid slow growth and high energy prices. The shortage of gas supply can force countries to continue using fossil fuels, thus slowing down the transition to green energy.

With its vision and mission of “science for humanity,” the 2023 VinFuture Prize aims to recognize and honor scientific research and technological breakthroughs, thereby contributing to resolving problems that humanity is facing, and facilitating sustainable development for the future.

Prof. Sir Richard Henry Friend, Chair of the VinFuture Prize Council, shared: “When we look at the broad fields, it’s interesting to see how global sentiment has changed. We’re increasingly concerned about global well-being and anxious about a stable and sustainable life after unpredictable incidents. We aim to search for innovations and breakthroughs across all fields to honor scientific innovations that create positive and sustainable changes in the lives of many people. We believe this year’s nomination will receive more quality nominations, thus increasing the opportunities to find worthy scientific works and research.”

To participate in the 2023 VinFuture Prize, scientific and technological innovations and solutions must fully meet the Prize’s nomination criteria* and be nominated by prestigious organizations or individuals in the field of science and technology worldwide. Nominated projects will be screened and chosen by the VinFuture Prize’s Pre-Screening Committee and Prize Council, composed of leading scientists and experts who have won prestigious awards, such as Nobel, Turing, and Millennium Technology prizes.

Previously, the 2022 VinFuture Prize received an exceptional response from the global science and technology community, with 970 quality nominations from scientists, researchers, and inventors from six continents. The 2022 VinFuture Grand Prize (worth US$3 million) was awarded to five scientists: Professor Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Dr. Vinton Cerf, Dr. Emmanuel Desurvire, Dr. Robert Kahn, and Professor Sir David Payne for their ground-breaking research on global network technology. The 2022 VinFuture Special Prize for Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields was awarded to Dr. Demis Hassabis and Dr. John Jumper for their pioneering work on AlphaFold 2 – an artificial intelligence program that has revolutionized the modeling of protein structures. The 2022 VinFuture Special Prize for Developing Country Innovators was awarded to Professor Thalappil Pradeep for his development of a low-cost filtration system to remove arsenic and other heavy metals from groundwater. The 2022 VinFuture Special Prize for Female Innovators honored Professor Pamela Ronald for her breakthroughs in isolating the Sub1A gene which facilitated the development of submergence-tolerant rice varieties.
