Media alert (NYSE: $KULR) - Is This Cooling Technology Company Ready To Heat Up?- #Bezinga

Consumers are increasingly looking for all-electric vehicles, fueling the explosive growth of companies like Tesla Inc. TSLA +6.01% + Free Alerts and Rivian Automotive Inc.  RIVN +6.08% + Free Alerts

 

Beyond the automotive industry, the electronification of daily life reportedly continues to grow as well. Mobile phones are now in 97% of pockets in the U.S., and an ever-expanding stable of devices is making our homes “smart.” These consumer electronics are more capable and faster than ever before. In fact, Apple Inc. APPL iPhones are over 100 times faster than Deep Blue, the IBM’s IBM +0.09% + Free Alerts supercomputer that beat the reigning world chess champion Gary Kasparov. The computer weighed 1.4 tons.

 

This increased performance, however, can come at a cost. Electronics produce heat. The faster and more powerful, sometimes the hotter the item can become. Whether consumer electronics, high-performance electric engines, energy storage solutions or aerospace applications, how electric systems deal with the heat they produce can make or break a product.

 

Manufacturers across industries reportedly have a great need for innovative solutions to cool their electronics. KULR Technology Group KULR  says it may have some of the most cutting-edge solutions around. The company has worked with the likes of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

 

“KULR’s solution is the lightest weight battery heat sink option NASA has evaluated to date,” Dr. Eric Darcy, Ph.D, battery systems lead at NASA, said of KULR’s systems. “NASA has not found a design solution with as much promise for preventing lithium-ion battery TRP (thermal runaway propagation).”

 

The company reports that it has cooling applications across many other industries as well. In today’s world, surprisingly few products do not have a need for cooling solutions. KULR says it is working to help mitigate heat issues in 5G infrastructure, defense applications, battery safety and the exciting new frontier of the metaverse.

 

This emerging industry is expected by some to reach dizzying heights. A recent report by Citi Group Inc.

C -0.84% + Free Alerts projects the total addressable market will be over $8 trillion by 2030. The immersive experience of the metaverse relies on layers of hardware infrastructure - a market KULR is helping to address.

 

The company recently inked a deal with a major conglomerate of manufacturers to provide a carbon-fiber solution that facilitates “biosensing,” allowing users to navigate the metaverse using nerve signals.

#REE #Stock Defense Metals (TSX-V: $DEFN.V) (OTCQB: $DFMTF) Retains SRK Consulting to assist with planning geotechnical drilling investigations at Wicheeda Rare Earth Element Project during 2022; @defensemetals

 

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 25, 2022: Investorideas.com Newswire, Mining/Metals/ Green Energy Stock News- Defense Metals Corp. (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ 35D: FSE) is pleased to announce that it has retained SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) to assist with planning and executing geotechnical drilling investigations at the Wicheeda Rare Earth Element (REE) Project during 2022.

 

Read this news, featuring DEFN in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2022/mining/05251DEFN-Geotechnical-Drilling.asp

 

The objective of SRK’s work will be to assist Defense Metals with planning and implementing a pre-feasibility level geotechnical field drilling program. The objective of the field program is to collect data for the subsequent analysis, and assessment of technical risks with regards to open pit slope design. SRK will assist in the planning, set-up, training, and support towards design of the geotechnical program including determining optimal drill hole locations (co-purposed with further resource drill holes where possible), data collection methods and downhole surveying.

 

The SRK team will be led by Project Manager Andy Thomas, P.Eng., M.Eng., a mining rock mechanics engineer with over 16 years’ experience; and Project Practice Leader, Jarek Jakubec, C.Eng., FIMMM, corporate consultant and practice leader of the SRK mining and geology group in Vancouver with experience in the mining industry since 1984. Jarek has travelled extensively to complete studies for over 160 mining projects in 36 countries. He regularly leads teams in technical or operational audits, feasibility studies, bankable due diligence studies, and is a sought-after member of geotechnical review boards for operating mines.

 

The purpose of the 2022 Wicheeda REE Project’s geotechnical and hydrogeological drill program is to contribute data to the advance geotechnical characterization, and the development of comprehensive structural, hydrogeological, and rock strength models to support future advanced pre-feasibility level mine planning studies. The geotechnical and hydrological drilling is expected to include, but not be limited to, acoustic/optical televiewer downhole survey, oriented drill core, field point load and laboratory-based intact rock and discontinuity strength testing, vibrating wire piezometer, and standpipe piezometer installation for hydrogeological investigations.

 

Kris Raffle, P.Geo, Director of Defense Metals commented: “SRK was a natural fit to assist in the continued advancement of the Wicheeda REE Deposit having worked so closely with the Defense Metals technical team during the recent PEA study. SRK is well-positioned to build on the successful PEA mine plan and guide the collection of advanced geotechnical and hydrogeological data that will contribute to an enhanced understating of geotechnical risk and refinement of future project development scenarios.”

 

About the Wicheeda REE Property

The 100% owned 2,008-hectare Wicheeda REE Property, located approximately 80 km northeast of the city of Prince George, British Columbia, is readily accessible by all-weather gravel roads and is near infrastructure, including power transmission lines, the CN railway, and major highways.

 

The Wicheeda REE Project yielded a robust 2021 PEA that demonstrated an after-tax net present value (NPV@8%) of $517 million, and 18% IRR[1]. A unique advantage of the Wicheeda REE Project is the production of a saleable high-grade flotation-concentrate. The PEA contemplates a 1.8 Mtpa (million tonnes per year) mill throughput open pit mining operation with 1.75:1 (waste:mill feed) strip ratio over a 19 year mine (project) life producing and average of 25,423 tonnes REO annually. A Phase 1 initial pit strip ratio of 0.63:1 (waste:mill feed) would yield rapid access to higher grade surface mineralization in year 1 and payback of $440 million initial capital within 5 years.
