Dark Ops Undercovered: Episode I – Eliminalia
12 April, 2021
Since November 2020, Qurium has received several mails from fake lawyers asking us to remove articles related to corruption in Angola involving Isabel dos Santos or Vincent Miclet.
Two of the investigative websites that Qurium hosts, Maka Angola and The Elephant have been targeted by such content take-down campaigns. In all cases, the mails have came from legal firms claiming copyright (DMCA) or data protection legislation (GDPR), asking us to remove the content of a certain page or pages without revealing the concrete identity of the person that is paying for their legal services. It is not a coincidence that Maka Angola and The Elephant are targets of this campaign. These investigative media outlets are run by two renounced and international awarded anti-corruption champions, Rafael Marques Morais and John Githongo. These men have dedicated their lives to fight corruption within the elite in their respective countr

A vast prospective and underexplored jurisdiction
Although large scale mines such as the Teck Resources Red Dog zinc mine, Hecla Mining’s Green’s Creek Mine, Coeur Mining’s Kensington gold mine, Northern Star’s Pogo and Kinross Gold’s Fort Knox all operate year round, the Arctic climate still provides formidable challenges to the smaller operator. The short summer exploration season means that much of the state remains underexplored.
Nonetheless, the state still hosts over 4,440 documented gold prospects, and over 2,700 documented non-gold occurrences, including some of the world’s largest deposits. Today, over 200 million ounces of gold has been delineated, in 20 of 61 placer districts.

U.S. energy use may not reach 2019 levels until 2050 report Source: By Carlos Anchondo, E&E News reporter • Posted: Thursday, February 4, 2021

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said yesterday it could take between three and 30 years for U.S. energy consumption to return to pre-pandemic levels.
The finding part of the agency’s annual energy outlook includes projections under three scenarios of economic growth. Under a reference or business-as-usual scenario, energy consumption levels that existed in 2019 could return in eight years. If there’s low economic growth, however, they may not return until midcentury, according to EIA.

Renewable energy uptake and the falling costs of battery energy storage are “inexorably linked” as the global economy faces a crucial decade ahead in its urgent need to decarbonise, according to work by McKinsey & Company.
Bram Smeets, an associate partner at the prominent management consultancy group told
Energy-Storage.news that continuously falling battery prices will enable the rapid growth of renewable energy capacity. McKinsey’s Global Energy Perspective 2021 report was published earlier this month and predicts that, with many of the world’s leaders putting policies in place to support decarbonisation and technology costs falling, renewable energy will make up around 55% of global power generation by 2035.
