KEY TAKEAWAYS Lumina Gold is focused on unlocking three key aspects to get the project shovel ready by the end of 2025: exploitation IPA agreement, permits, and completing the feasibility study. Strategic Resources is working on securing feed for the pellet plant and finalising the project finance package in the first half of 2025 for construction to begin. Fuerte, formerly known as Atacama Copper, is focusing on drilling in Mexico at the Cristina project and unlocking surface access to drill the porphyry in Chile. The Lumina Group is actively looking for new opportunities and projects to further expand and grow their portfolio in the Americas.

Tell us the highlights of this new project you're working on in Lowell Charter Twp.? Getting things "Shovel Ready" ... Does The Right Place have any idea in store for beyond that? -- Or at least categories of businesses to attract or expand in western Michigan with this effort? These sorts of projects don't happen alone, tell us about cooperation with the township, Franklin Partners, and Advantage Commercial Real Estate? Here were further details from the time of the announcement: State awards $17.5 million grant to prepare Lowell Township's Covenant Business Park for development 237-acre parcel is one of 18 statewide projects awarded by MEDC's new Strategic Site Readiness Program (GRAND RAPIDS, MICH) – Today, The Right Place, Inc., and project partners Franklin Partners and Lowell Charter Township announce they have received $17.5 million from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's (MEDC) new Strategic Site Readiness Program (SSRP) to help prepare the 237-acre Covenant Business Park in Lowell Township for industrial and commercial use. The Lowell site is one of 18 statewide projects announced as recipients of the funds at this morning's Michigan Strategic Fund board meeting. About SSRP The SSRP provides financial incentives to eligible applicants to conduct activities on or related to strategic sites in Michigan to create a statewide inventory of investment-ready sites that will attract and promote investment in the state. The program provides access to grants, loans, and other economic assistance. In its announcement to the project team, the MEDC noted that the Lowell site is strategic for the region and that the funds will help make progress on preparing the property to become a premier site. The award letter also noted that the property will become a critical offering and help MEDC build a strong pipeline of sites across the state. More information on the program can be found here. The funds awarded represent 50% of the $35m needed to get the site “shovel-ready” for development. Most work will center on infrastructure efforts, primarily sewer extension and connection. About the property The parcel, which is zoned PUD for industrial and commercial use, is located at the southwest corner of Cascade Road and Alden Nash, just north of I-96; with its proximity to a major highway and minutes from an international airport, Covenant Business Park has been considered to be the finest parcel available in greater Grand Rapids.

The Chair of the Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce claims shovel ready sites must be provided in Clare now, to attract green industry down the line. The Department of Enterprise has published it's first progress update on the taskforce's renewable energy recommendations, which includes an industrial strategy for off-shore wind. The Shannon Estuary plan itself is aiming to create 10,000 jobs and achieve net zero status in the region by 2035. IDA Board Member and Taskforce Chairperson Barry O'Sullivan says the work on attracting major corporations to the area has to start now.

Two of the former Government's massive infrastructure programmes were rushed against the advice of officials, leading to costly blowouts.   Auditor-General John Ryan's released a report on the $15 billion NZ Upgrade Programme and Shovel-Ready Projects.   He found ministers received ample warning from officials that some projects would struggle to be delivered on time and on budget.   Bookkeeping was so poor in some cases it's difficult to determine all the initiatives that received funding.   Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking that it's a disgrace.  He says in one case, Ministers announced projects and Auckland Transport, who were receiving the money and delivering the projects, found out through the media.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During the pandemic, necessity has driven a lot of change in many organizations worldwide. Many government organizations were agile enough to gather resources like CARES funding quickly to complete shovel-ready projects. However, others did not take advantage of this funding.

As the pandemic continues to take a toll, the CARES funding deadline has been extended.

The South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) is hoping to convince Eskom to conduct an independent technoeconomic assessment of whether there is potential to extract more capacity from the constrained grid in the Cape provinces after none of the 23 wind projects that participated in the most recent public procurement round were appointed as a preferred bidder. In December, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe announced the appointment of only six utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, with a combined capacity of just 860 MW, as preferred bidders, following Bid Window Six (BW6) of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). This, despite the round having been expanded from 2 600 MW to 4 200 MW as part of announcements made by President Cyril Ramaphosa in July to combat intensifying loadshedding. In fact, the round had initially been doubled to 5 200 MW, but the Ministerial determinations to allow for the procurement of 2 000 MW of solar PV were not in place, so BW6 was reduced by 1 000 MW to 4 200 MW, with 3 200 MW set aside for wind, for which determinations were in place. The failure to appoint any wind projects was attributed to an unavailability of grid capacity in the Eastern, Northern and Western Cape provinces, where all the projects are located. It emerged that capacity deemed to be available ahead of BW6 had been subsequently reserved for projects being pursued by independent power producers (IPPs) that were being developed on the basis of private power purchase agreements. SAWEA CEO Niveshen Govender tells Engineering News that its members want an independent assessment of the grid constraints in the Cape provinces to assess whether there are technical solutions available to immediately unlock additional grid capacity, or commercially viable ways to implement grid sharing. Should solutions emerge, the association could then request the IPP Office to consider launching an “expedited bid window”, through which wind projects frozen out by the grid constraints have an opportunity to bid again. As things stand, projects that could be delivering about 10 TWh of electricity yearly within the next 24 to 36 months are side-lined, despite intensifying loadshedding. Govender says a meeting has been scheduled with Eskom and reports that SAWEA members are more than willing to fund the study, which could be implemented by the Eskom system operator. Strong views have already emerged on either side of the debate, with some warning of costly curtailment should grid sharing be pursued, and others arguing that grid capacity is still available in areas where Eskom says it is not and that only limited curtailment is likely, especially if allocations are made on a timely basis. Debates are also emerging over the effectiveness of battery energy storage in augmenting the grid, even though there is a growing acceptance that batteries can definitely ease pressure in certain areas and provide vital ancillary services. SAWEA also intends to engage with Eskom and the IPP Office on the grid-access rules that will govern both future public procurement rounds and the private projects. It will also be seeking an update from Eskom on the implementation of the Transmission Development Plan, which is theoretically geared towards adding the grid capacity required to unlock new generation capacity, including in the Cape provinces, where South Africa's best wind resources are located. “We believe that there is space for both public and private procurement and that the grid-access rules should not discriminate in favour of one over the other. “However, we need the rules to be fair and transparent and there also needs to be regular communication when circumstances are changing,” Govender says. During BW6, there had been no updates from Eskom after the Generation Connection Capacity Assessment, which guided bidders on what grid capacity was available, was published, even when developers of ...

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Many of you have probably seen the real estate adds in the Tideline. Two significant parcels of land are being sold as part of a much lager vision. Cortes Community Housing intends to have the Rainbow Ridge project ‘shovel ready' for funding by 2023. They have previously applied for funding from BC Housing three times. “Twice for Rainbow Ridge and once for the Senior Society expansion. What we're doing now is getting ready for our third attempt to win funding from BC Housing for Rainbow Ridge,” explained Sandra Wood, Executive Director of the Cortes Community Housing Society. “We're also working with Vancity credit union. They are helping right now with preconstruction expense. “So we have an opportunity to partner with Vancity credit union. We have an opportunity to partner with BC housing. Once one of them says, ‘Yes, your business case for Rainbow Ridge makes sense based on what it's going to cost to build and the income that's going to come in once it's fully occupied,' then we can also get CMHC, which is the federal government Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation to be a co-investment partner. They will only join the project once we've been select buy a bank or by BC housing.” She explained that all of the communities on Vancouver Island and the surrounding islands are competing for the same pool of funding from BC Housing. “The next intake from BC housing has not been announced, as far as when they will accept grant applications, but we believe it will be sometime in 2023. We hope it will be the spring of 2023,” said Wood. “What we're trying to do right now is make Rainbow Ridge a shovel ready project, so that it's a really easy decision for BC Housing to choose Cortes island.” Rainbow Ridge is currently in the Design Development phase and hired Iredale Architects to find less expensive way to build 24 townhomes. They are awaiting approval from the Ministry of Transportation for the 6 acre subdivision's road design. The project contractor is preparing an up to date budget, which will be costed in the autumn. The new plans will be shared with the community at a Town Hall meeting in October. “In addition to coming to BC Housing with those plans, we also need to come to the table with some cash. I know it's gonna be a big, expensive project and the more money that we can bring to the table, the more attractive it will be to BC Housing or any other funder,” said Wood. This is where the real estate sales come in.

A regional New Zealand mayor says the government's forecast of 20,000 new jobs through its multibillion-dollar shovel ready projects scheme always seemed too good to be true. Before last year's election, the government announced it'd pump $2.6 billion into more than 150 shovel ready projects to create jobs and kick-start the country's Covid-19 rebuild. But it has now slashed that number to fewer than 12,000 jobs. Nick Truebridge reports.

Famously labelled zombie towns, regional centres are bearing up well through the Covid-19 crisis off the back of the strong rural economy and extremely low case numbers. They are also having new life breathed into them via the hundreds of millions of dollars being dolled out by the Government through both the Provincial Growth Fund and Shovel-Ready investments. Even economist Shamubeel Eaqub, who coined the term, concedes the pandemic is proving how resilient regional towns are. He spoke to RNZ reporter Robin Martin who began by asking him where he stood on zombie town now.

Industry leaders say a number of infrastructure jobs could be lost if the full list of shovel ready projects isn't revealed.Early this month the Government announced it had selected 150 projects valued at nearly $3 billion.Four weeks later, details of only 30 have been released.Infrastructure New Zealand chief executive Paul Blair told Kerre McIvor contractors feel they have been left in the dark - and it would help business confidence and planning to know more."I know of more than a handful of large and small companies that are preparing proposals now to make staff redundant."Blair says they urgently need a heads up from the Government.“This is a situation where we need to move quickly from announcement - to jobs being created and money being spent.”LISTEN ABOVE

Interview with Farhad Abasov, CEO of Lithium Developer, Millennial Lithium (TSX-V:ML)The last major hurdle for Millennial Lithium's flagship Pastos Grandes Lithium Project in Argentina was the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Today, the company has announced that the DIA has approved its EIA, and now the company really is ready to get into production when the time is right. There are a few small functional permits to sort, but they are unlikely to pose any real issues.The project has world-class economics; it's in the lowest quartile for cost. Now, with Argentina back open for business, the shovel-ready project could create some major growth, once the funding is all in place that is.  Company page: http://www.millenniallithium.comMake smarter investment decisions, subscribe here: https://www.cruxinvestor.comJoin Our Crux Club: https://www.crux-club.com/ For FREE unbiased investment information, follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook:https://twitter.com/cruxinvestorhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/crux-investor/https://www.facebook.com/cruxinvestorTake advantage, hear it here first: https://www.youtube.com/CRUXinvestor

Interview with Patrick Downey, President & CEO of Orezone Gold Corp. (TSX-V:ORE)You might think a single-asset gold mining company in West Africa would have a pretty unpalatable risk profile. However, Orezone Gold has developed extremely nicely since we last spoke to the company in July 2019.The company is shovel ready and the numbers look great. The AISC is $672/oz, and the organic growth phased model means Orezone Gold can finance construction and production out of cash flow and debt.Will the market finally reward Orezone Gold once the Bomboré mine in Burkina Faso is up and running? Once that's up and running, and fully developed, Downey will be looking at M&A options as he looks to reward shareholders with accelerated growth.

A long-time campaigner is bewildered that the forever-promised Katikati bypass has not made the cut for a shovel-ready project. The Western Bay of Plenty District Council has had success in getting most of its proposed projects for the urgent funding through to the next stage - but not the bypass. State Highway 2 cuts right through the middle of the town - effectively destroying its heart, says Katikati Taiao chairwoman Jenny Hobbs. She speaks to Corin Dann.

Will a revamped RMA provide the necessary checks and balances needed for a post covid economic recovery that doesn't harm the environment ? Newly announced changes to the Resource Management Act would do away with council and public input, and instead see projects approved by expert panels, chaired by a current or retired Environment Court judge or senior lawyer. The new legislation is expected to be passed in June, but repealed in two years. Gary Taylor, is chief executive of the Environmental Defence Society.

Alex Salmond addresses the SNP on the subject of child care, Ed Davey talks through the UK's commitments and Lesley goes to the movies. Her reactions, as ever, are livley and insightful.

In which I recount my favorite sounds in “Now Hear This;” my not-so-unique talent for snow removal, in “Shovel Ready;” the importance of a flowing mane in “A Man’s Hair Is His Glory;” and a description of my two other God-given talents, which are for parallel parking and estimating prices on Antiques Roadshow, in “What Makes Me Special.”

Yesterday was a bad day for the president and his wide-eyed socialist utopian minions.  The bad news started with everyone waking up to the huge Democrat losses for the house seats in New York and Nevada.  Then there was more bad news about the European Union, followed by more bad news about Obama's drop in the polls.  Then his efforts to peddle his jobs creation bill to dumbed down college students in North Carolina went nowhere except with a few coeds who thought they were at a rap concert and got confused when they started shouting "I love you" to the would be rockstar in chief

What would you do if you knew that the top Democrat running for president was lying about his past?    Many knew that his commitment to socialism was deep, genuine, and longstanding.

Obama feels our economic pain.  We know this because he was so sincere as he addressed a joint session of Congress last Thursday.  Or at least he tried to sound that sincere.  The problem is that Obama struggles to come off empathetic, due to his inherently professorial speaking style.  To make up for this shortcoming, Obama often employs a sort of out-loud whisper to give the impression of intense emotion while still speaking quietly.  On Thursday, the president sought a doubly empathetic tone, but what resulted was speaking that sounded like an awkward cross between a grunt and a whisper

Leading black conservatives lay blame for black America's rampant poverty and other ills squarely at the feet of the socialist orientation of black leaders such as Al Sharpton. They say the black intelligentsia's rhetoric has created a defeatist and demoralizing climate that has robbed millions of black Americans of hope and has sentenced them to an impoverished existence. “One of the tenets of the socialist ideology is to create a welfare state, and that's exactly what has happened in the black community,” says Florida Rep. Allen West, the only Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “I like to say we have sort of a reverse plantation going on here where you have people like Sharpton and [Jesse] Jackson trying to make themselves into overseers.” Niger Innis, national spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality, says Marxists have worked hard to exploit blacks for the past century and divide them from the rest of society.

I think sentient Democrats are watching their party's chances in 2012 slip away, and had they not made such a big deal of claiming all opposition to  Obama was racist in motivation and effect (see, e.g., this)  , they would now be urging him to quit and seeking a  new contender for his office.  Like Coleridge's ancient Mariner, however, they can only stand on deck with that albatross around their neck watching both the White House and the Senate slip from their grasp just as did so many state governorships and the House of Representatives. In the meantime the Ship of State runs  aground on the shoals of  incompetence,  corruption and laughable idiocy. Let's start with NASA. Once upon a time this organization flew men and women into space.  They no longer do.  While I suppose there still are capable scientists and managers in the agency as its mission becomes  far less significant than once it was, the head of the operation, selected by Obama, turned the once proud agency into a laughing stock.

Amidst new research showing historic disparity in wealth between whites and minorities, President Obama is facing plummeting approval over his jobs agenda among core supporters, including liberal Democrats and African-Americans. As evidence of growing dissatisfaction regarding the president's handling of the economic crisis, a new Washington Post/ABC poll points to declining support among some of Obama's voter base. The report explains, "The Post/ABC poll found that the number of liberal Democrats who strongly support Obama's record on jobs plunged 22 points from 53 percent last year to 31 percent. The number of African Americans who believe the president's actions have helped the economy has dropped from 77 percent in October to just over half of those surveyed."

"The only thing preventing us from passing these bills is the refusal by some in Congress to put country ahead of party. That's the problem right now. That's what's holding this country back," said a vacationing Obama, relaxing in a palatial house, hobnobbing with celebrity and socialite alike. The bills in question: In remarks recorded on Wednesday on his campaign-style bus tour in Illinois and aired during his holiday in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Obama said the stalled construction, trade and payroll tax bills could give a boost to the economy. More shovel ready projects? He admits himself they didn't work the first time. As for the free trade agreements, those could very well create jobs - about 5 years from now. The extension of the 2% payroll tax cut is a good idea and will probably go through, but it's like using a squirt gun to put out a 3-alarm fire. Too little, too late, too stupid to understand what needs to be done.
