Dr. Gengchen Han, Origin Agritech's Chairman, said, "We are very excited to have another GMO trait pending approval for a biosafety certificate, which is the final step in the approval process before the production license. We expect drought resistance to play a key role in the agricultural industry as it is forced to adapt to climate change disruptions globally."

NEW EPISODE OF EARTH WITH JOHN HOLDEN AIRS DECEMBER 2021/JANUARY 2022

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:22 AM PST

BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The docu-series EARTH with John Holden airs Sunday, December 19th at 5:00 pm EST on Fox Business Network; Sunday, December 26 th at 3:30 pm EST and Sunday, January 2 nd, 2022 at 3:30 pm EST on Bloomberg TV; and on Sunday, December 26 th at 10:00 am EST on BNN Bloomberg ( Canada). EARTH with John Holden  is also available on the streaming platforms Vimeo, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, and YouTube. 

In this episode, viewers find how Novipax packaging prevents food waste, Electrolux builds greener appliances, LKQ recycles end-of-life vehicles, the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol supports sustainable crops, and giant Wurth Group keeps ecology "all in the family."

First, host John Holden travels to Grenada, Mississippi to discover how the company Novipax produces innovative packaging designed to prevent food waste. As our global population grows, billions of people go hungry while in richer countries, consumers waste a third of the food they buy. Novipax is working to create new kinds of packaging that extend the shelf lives of all kinds of food products, keeping them edible and delicious as long as possible. One new product is absorbent food pads that keep meats fresh longer by inhibiting bacterial growth.  

Next, Andrea Ocampo travels to North Carolina to explore how Electrolux, one of the world's leading global home appliance manufacturers, makes the household appliances we depend upon greener. Today's consumers evaluate the eco-friendly aspects of appliances they buy, with good reason. Our homes can have long term impacts on the environment. Electrolux is designing washer/dryers that help make clothes last longer and use less water; and refrigerators that keep food fresher. The company even uses less packaging to ship their products. It's all part of their company-wide goal to reduce CO2 emissions. 

John visits a gigantic 21 st century salvage yard in Casa Grande, Arizona. He finds out how LKQ Corporation, the world's largest auto recycler, processes more than 800 thousand cars every year at their worldwide facilities. Recycled parts from these end-of-life vehicles include electronics, transmissions, tires, metals, headlamps - even usable oil. In all, LKQ's recycling team scours vehicles for more than 130 parts that are resold rather than dumped into a landfill. They're used for car repairs, or repurposed for new items such as playgrounds, steel parts, and roads. The result: less pollution and reduced global warming.

Next, John visits a cotton farm in Louisiana, to find out how today's crops are saving water, land, soil, and energy - while using fewer chemicals than in past years. New sustainability methods mean crops can remain productive and sustainable for generations to come, while our drinking water runs clean. Bringing down the carbon footprint for an entire industry is a major initiative of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. Its 500 members include retailers, brands, and agricultural interests, all working together to produce more eco-friendly cotton for the fabrics and fashions we love. 

Finally, John travels to Kunzelsau, Germany to explore how family-owned Wurth Group maintains sound environmental practices throughout 400 companies in 80 countries, with a company-wide commitment to sustainability and circular economics. Wurth's parent company expects to achieve climate neutrality by 2024 through expanding its electric vehicle fleet, using renewable energy, greener packing systems, and more. One example is Wurth's 3D printing products, which allow manufacturers to streamline supply chains and distribution. Another is the company's new industrial complex, constructed entirely of wood.

Throughout the series our host, six-time Emmy Award winner John Holden, takes viewers around the globe to showcase companies with inspiring, eco-friendly initiatives that enhance our lives through the latest technologies and innovations. With insightful interviews and amazing on-site discoveries, Holden highlights the ways businesses protect our environment, to fight global warming and create a better world for everyone.

Parks Associates Announces Top 10 US Subscription OTT Video Services For 2021

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:09 AM PST

DALLAS, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Parks Associates, at the close of the fourth annual Future of Video conference, today released its updated list of the top 10 US paid subscription over-the-top (OTT) video services, based on estimated numbers of subscribers through September 2021 from the firm's OTT Video Market Tracker. The research firm reports that based on quarterly surveys of 10,000 US broadband households, more than 80% of broadband households have at least one OTT service and that the churn rate for OTT services is 44%, with consumers adopting multiple subscriptions and experimenting with different services.

Parks Associates notes the 2021 Top 10 OTT List shows the first change in the top three services since the firm started tracking these providers in 2015. Disney+ has moved into the top three, moving ahead of Hulu in number of subscribers.

"While the Disney+ content portfolio may have allowed it to leapfrog stablemate Hulu in 2021 rankings, its position reaffirms the collective power of the Disney Bundle triumvirate: Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+," said Paul Erickson, Director of Research, Parks Associates. "ViacomCBS's successful rebrand and content-fueled reformulation of CBS All Access into Paramount+ have allowed it to leapfrog Apple TV+ into seventh place behind ESPN+, and time will tell if the service will break into the Top 5."

HBO Max moved into the top five, while Paramount+ (rebranded from CBS All Access) jumped to number seven on the list, while new entrant Discovery+ is right behind in the eleventh position.

2021 Top 10 US Subscription OTT Video Services (SVOD)

  1. Netflix
  2. Prime Video
  3. Disney+
  4. Hulu
  5. HBO Max
  6. ESPN+
  7. Paramount+
  8. Apple TV+
  9. Starz
  10. Showtime

Parks Associates research closely tracks the adoption of broadband, OTT services, and pay TV among all US households.

"Broadband providers added an estimated 6.4 million residential customers to date in 2021, showing rapid growth," said Kristen Hanich, Director of Research, Parks Associates. "The importance of bundling pay TV with home broadband is diminishing though - our Home Services Dashboard finds that only 38% of US broadband households bundle pay TV with their home internet service, a significant decline from past levels."

The role of online TV continues to grow, with consumers embracing OTT services offered by famiilar providers. "In Q3 2021, 19% of US broadband households reported subscribing to a vMVPD service, nearly double from the previous year," said Eric Sorensen, Contributing Senior Analyst, Parks Associates. "By 2024, the US vMVPD subscriber base will increase to more than 23 million households. All players will continue vying for the leading positions."

Fashion, Money, And Love In 2022 Through The Eyes Of An Astrologer Who Foresaw The Crisis Of 2020

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:14 AM PST

MOSCOW, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Besides predicting our destiny, it's hard to believe the stars can also influence everything else on Earth including fashion according to astrologer and author Tatiana Borsch. 

"Planets Jupiter and Saturn are the main celestial reference points for fashion," said Borsch. For most of the year, Jupiter will be in Pisces, which is a water sign. That means its colors of blue, blues shades, purple, violet, green, and silver will be popular fashion themes."

Borsch is a popular Russian astrologer known for her accurate predictions. She accurately predicted the current global economic crisis and sudden events of 2020 in a 2019  SWAAY Magazine article.

Tatiana recently published  Complete Astrological Planner & Diary 2022. 

The book gives readers insights into what lies ahead in the upcoming year and more than that - it's an effective tool to manage your time, set goals, and make plans while using the influence of the planets and cosmos to get the most out of your self-care.

It's also an astrological guide on how to interpret transiting aspects. Here, you'll find descriptions of the planetary and lunar aspects, the positions of the planets, zodiac signs, houses and lunar days. You'll also discover how to apply these factors to your personal horoscope.

Jupiter won't be alone in Pisces, as Neptune will also tag along to form the biggest astrological event of the year on April 12, 2022. This is a rare conjunction that occurs once every 13 years. 

Neptune tends to dissolve and blur, and that means soft, vague shades of blue, purple, and green will come into fashion. Transparent and unobtrusive clothing will be stylish, and translucent fabrics and lace should look spectacular and be in demand. 

Neptune also rules the arts. We could see incredible films, music productions, and paintings, and many art pieces will also have a space or maritime theme.

"The year will have a nautical theme. That means different T-shirts, such as nautical striped shirts, various nautical caps, and other things associated with the sea will be popping up. Fans of pearls can finally flaunt their jewels, as pearls will be 2022's most fashionable jewelry," said Borsch.

Light, airy dresses that flow in the breeze will stay popular throughout 2022. These are great choices for the office or something a little more casual. Long and medium-length mermaid-like hairstyles will also be the rage.

For your makeup, the stars predict soft, natural translucent themes.

Saturn is also in Aquarius during 2022, which is a strong position for the planet. It will influence the rebirth of long-forgotten suits and dresses from the past. Accented shoulders, cuffs, frills, and draperies will likely come back into fashion. Suede and leather goods are in fashion once again.

Money

Money is governed by Taurus, and Uranus has been sitting comfortably in the sign for three years. It's not going to leave Taurus in 2022. That means the entire financial system will continue to transform. Between August 2022 and March 2023, be careful with your money.

Love 

Relationships that form in 2022, especially in the first half of the year, are predicted to be very romantic. People born under Pisces will feel this the most followed by people in Scorpios. Virgo, Sagittarius, and Capricorn signs will come close when it comes to love.

Children born between January and July 2022 may have vivid musical and psychic abilities. They may grow up to be people that lead the way for the advancement of new doctrines and religions.

More detailed predictions for 2022 can be seen on Tatiana Borsch's  website. You can also find predictions from previous years and other astrology-related articles.

Meet Astrologer & Author Tatiana BorschFor more than 30 years, Tatiana Borsch has been a renowned Russian astrologer, writer, and award-winning documentary film producer.

Tatiana has an outstanding track record as a professional astrologer and has made guest appearances on many popular television shows. She is the author of more than 40 books, including  An Astrologer's Notes: Real-life stories on how the stars shape our lives.

Tatiana is also the founder of the AstraArt production company, which has created more than 150 documentary films since 2002. She has received numerous awards for films broadcasted across Russia and other countries.

Save $100 On The Newly Released GoPro HERO10

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:20 AM PST

Screen Shot 2021 12 17 at 7 53 16 AM

The GoPro HERO10 was released in September of 2021, so it's about time that it's getting discounted. A $100 savings isn't a lot, but it's still $100.

The GoPro HERO10 has ultra-sharp resolution with improved low-light performance + 19.6MP 5K/15.8MP 5.3K video frame grabs. It's GoPro's best camera ever – capture stunning photos from places only a GoPro can go. Go big. Dive deep. Tougher than ever + waterproof up to 33ft.

For maximum performance, use GoPro batteries designed for HERO10 Black. Non-GoPro batteries may fit in your camera, but could limit its performance. They may also break your camera and could cause safety risks. Use HERO10 Black's Extended Battery mode to maximize your camera's runtime. It uses the most energy-efficient resolutions and frame rates to extend battery life. Swipe down on the rear touch screen and tap the lightning bolt icon to access this mode.

You'll need an SD card that's capable of meeting the high-performance demands of HERO10Black. Use a brand-name card that fits these requirements: microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC. Rated Classv30, UHS-3 or higher. Capacity up to 512GB

Use the Tripod/Stationary mode for tripod-mounted or other still shots longer than 20 minutes. These shots require airflow to cool your camera. There's likely to be less airflow for still shots (especially indoors). This mode lowers the frame rate to 30fps where airflow is not a factor. Swipe down on the rear touch screen and tap the lightning bolt icon to access this mode.

For the latest features and optimal performance, be sure your HERO10 Black has the latest software. The fastest and easiest way to update it is with the GoPro Quik app. You can also update it manually.

You can pick up the GoPro HERO10 action camera from Amazon by clicking here. But you'd better be quick, as this price won't be available for very long.

About OncoSec Medical IncorporatedOncoSec Medical Incorporated (the "Company," "OncoSec," "we" or "our") is a biotechnology company focused on developing cytokine-based intratumoral immunotherapies to stimulate the body's immune system to target and attack cancer.  OncoSec's lead immunotherapy investigational product candidate - TAVO™ (tavokinogene telseplasmid) - enables the intratumoral delivery of DNA-based interleukin-12 (IL-12), a naturally occurring protein with immune-stimulating functions.  The technology, which employs electroporation, is designed to produce a controlled, localized expression of IL-12 in the tumor microenvironment, enabling the immune system to target and attack tumors throughout the body.  OncoSec has built a deep and diverse clinical pipeline utilizing TAVO™ as a potential treatment for multiple cancer indications either as a monotherapy or in combination with leading checkpoint inhibitors; with the latter potentially enabling OncoSec to address a great unmet medical need in oncology: anti-PD-1 non-responders.  Results from recently completed clinical studies of TAVO™ have demonstrated a local immune response, and subsequently, a systemic effect as either a monotherapy or combination treatment approach along with an acceptable safety profile, warranting further development.  In addition to TAVO™, OncoSec is identifying and developing new DNA-encoded therapeutic candidates and tumor indications for use with its new Visceral Lesion Applicator (VLA), to target deep visceral lesions, such as liver, lung or pancreatic lesions.  For more information, please visit  www.oncosec.com.

Outokumpu - Next Plan Period 2022-2024 For Share-based Programs And A Payment Of The 2021 Share Rewards

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:26 AM PST

HELSINKI, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --  As part of the long-term incentive programs for key employees in Outokumpu, the Board of Directors has approved the commencement of the plan period 2022-2024 for the company's share-based programs. Furthermore, the Board approved the deliveries of a share reward from the Restricted Share Pool 2019-2021.

Plan periods for share-based programs 2022-2024

The Board of Directors has approved the commencement of Outokumpu's share-based programs for the period 2022-2024, the Performance Share Plan and the Restricted Share Pool. The plans commence at the beginning of 2022.

The earning criteria of the Performance Share Plan for this period are Outokumpu's return on capital employed. The maximum number of participants in the plan period 2022-2024 is 150 key employees. The maximum number of gross shares (taxes included) that can be allocated is 3,700,000.

The Restricted Share Pool is used for a limited number of employees, i.a., in cases of key recruitments, exceptional performance, high potential, retention need, and other individual specific situations. The maximum number of gross shares (taxes included) that can be allocated is 500,000 for the plan period 2022-2024.

The share rewards will be distributed in the spring of 2025, if the employment conditions and performance criterion are met. Applicable taxes will be deducted from gross shares, and the remaining net value will be delivered to the participants in Outokumpu shares.

A share reward in the Restricted Share Pool 2019-2021

The Board of Directors has approved the delivery of a share reward in advance from the Restricted Share Pool 2019-2021. When Pia Aaltonen-Forsell was employed in December 2018, it was agreed that she would be paid her share reward from the Restricted Share Pool 2019-2021 already in December 2021 instead of the spring 2022. After deduction for applicable taxes, the total net number of shares delivered will be 10,950 by the end of December 2021. Decisions regarding the other share rewards from the plans ending in 2021 will be made in due course and distributed in spring 2022.

More information on share-based programs and their terms is available at www.outokumpu.com/en/investors/governance/remuneration/share-based-incentive-programs.

Rigor Calls For Action On Housing Crisis As HUD's Construction Starts Report Again Finds Insufficient Volume To Meet Historic Demand

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:20 AM PST

ORLANDO, Fla. and MIAMI, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rigor , a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform for home construction, is joining with lenders, builders, and homebuyers to call for an end to the "affordability crisis" that has plagued housing markets for decades. While the U.S. Census and the Department of Housing and Urban Development today reported an 11.8 percent increase in housing starts as compared with October, it will still take years to address the shortfall of approximately seven million homes plaguing the U.S. housing market, as estimated by industry trade groups and a recent White House report.

Despite historic demand for homes, the U.S. is building 50 percent fewer homes today than were built at peak production in 2006. Housing starts as a share of population have declined 39% since 1970, and housing prices are rising faster than wages in 80% of U.S. metropolitan markets. The explanations offered for these massive shortfalls fail to explain this longstanding supply-demand imbalance. These include intermittent supply chain woes, labor shortages, regulations, and even the high cost of textiles and other building materials. While these reasons are valid, they fail to account for the root problem within the industry.

"What we're seeing isn't an 'affordability' crisis, it's a lending crisis that's hitting home builders hard and preventing the housing output we need," said Isaac Lidsky, CEO of Rigor. "At Rigor, we believe it's a problem that's both understandable and solvable. Understandable because home building is seen as a risky investment by many - so much so that new home construction receives a pitiful three percent of all real estate lending. Solvable because when you pair transparent capital flows for lenders with instant payments for verified work to the supply chain, you eliminate the risks that have prevented scaled investment in the asset class."

Rigor  is an easy-to-use web application that enables anyone to lend into home construction projects. With Rigor, lenders gain a platform to find and fund quality homebuilding projects, pool capital with other lenders, and get repaid. Homebuilders manage the work those funds pay for with task-level budgets paid directly to subcontractors and vendors as tasks are completed throughout a build - subject to verification by anyone the lender specifies in combination: builders, contractors, vendors, and municipal or third-party inspectors. All parties can see and understand where and to whom capital flows across the supply chain in real-time.

"You would never guess that demand for housing is at record levels when you consider the difficulties builders like us face securing and managing construction loans," said DK Kim, homebuilder and operating partner of FL Pro Brokers in Orlando (as well as a Rigor investor). "We typically build 80 homes a year and have established a solid reputation for the homes we deliver and sell. Getting the funding to grow our business should be easy, but that hasn't always been the case. Rigor tools and technology allow us to engage with and grow lending partnerships and streamline our operations. The result is that we can build more homes with fewer headaches and deliver for investors and buyers."

"There is an amazing opportunity here to make our money work for positive change in the housing industry," said John Starr, a private investor in Central Florida who is lending through Rigor as part of the company's   "100 Homes"  beta. "Home construction lenders like me face all kinds of risks. It's a fragmented and restrictive market and that makes it very difficult to manage or scale investments. Rigor is already changing that - and I'm bullish on what this means for really solving the housing shortage."

"Enough with the excuses," said Lidsky, "it's time for solutions, and that's exactly what Rigor is here to offer. Lenders get transparency and the returns they expect, home builders get the loans they need to meet big demand, subcontractors are paid on time for their work, and ultimately more Americans can enjoy the dream of homeownership. Let's break this vicious cycle!"

About RigorRigor is a decentralized finance ("DeFi") platform for home construction. The company has built and deployed the Rigor application, now in beta and being used to build homes in Central Florida. The company has recently raised $2M seed financing from private investors to fund initial growth strategies and welcomes additional investors. Current strategic investors span the existing and new home construction ecosystem and include crypto-native asset funds, traditional home construction lenders, homebuilders, contractors, and subcontractors. Rigor's founders include CEO Isaac Lidsky, a serial tech and home construction entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, and former Supreme Court clerk; Erich Wasserman, president of BD, founder of ad tech success story MediaMath; and Web3 technologist and product leader Jonah Weinstein.

Olympus Announces Complete Line Of Single-Use Foreign Body Retrieval Devices Added To EndoTherapy Portfolio

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:10 AM PST

CENTER VALLEY, Pa., Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Olympus announces the release of its line of single-use Foreign Body Retrieval devices, offering physicians options for a variety of needs, while meeting the demands of infection prevention initiatives.

Olympus offers a wide range of specialized single-use grasping forceps to assist in the retrieval of foreign bodies, stents and excised tissue such as polyps. The single-use products, six of which are brand new, replace the reusable devices previously available.

Foreign bodies lodged in the gastrointestinal tract, such as marbles, coins or batteries, can be challenging to retrieve. In 2019, accidental ingestion of foreign bodies accounted for 501,566 visits among all age groups to emergency rooms in the U.S. or 2% of all ER visits. 1

Children ages less than 1 year old through 4 years old accounted for 106,729 of the ER visits for foreign body ingestion in 2019, the fourth most common reason for trips to the emergency room. 2 A study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics estimated that more than 759,000 children under the age of 6 were evaluated for foreign-body ingestion in emergency rooms between 1995-2015. At nearly 62% of the cases, coins were the most frequently ingested item followed by toys (10.3%), jewelry (7%) and batteries (6.8%). 3

As part of a corporate strategy unveiled in November 2019, Olympus announced it would complement its product portfolio with single-use devices to address procedure-specific requirements, the need for urgent procedure preparation and improved workflow. In an emergent case, quick access to the best tools for the situation is critical.

Although the full-line of seven foreign body retrieval devices draw upon the most state-of-the-art design and manufacturing, there are stand-outs in the lineup. The Olympus portfolio includes, for example, the proprietary FG-244NR grasping forceps that feature a rotatable design for easy positioning. The device's rat tooth jaws with a 7.2 mm opening width are designed for retrieving drainage tubes and foreign bodies. The design of the FG-220P grasping forceps incorporates rubber tips for the removal of flat objects such as coins, sharp objects, soft objects and stents.

"Infection prevention is of the utmost importance to Olympus and our customers," said Melinda Benedict, Global Senior Manager of Infection Prevention at Olympus Corporation of the Americas. "In a variety of emergent cases or in situations involving very ill patients, physicians need to have all options for care available. A comprehensive line of single-use grasping forceps provides physicians with the confidence that they will have quick and safe access to the tools they need, where and when they need them."

In recent years, a worldwide trend has started to shift from reusable devices to single use, and Olympus has responded by adapting its medical device portfolio to meet customer and patient needs. For more information about the complete line of single-use grasping forceps, which provide workflow convenience while helping facilities save on reprocessing costs visit https://medical.olympusamerica.com/content/contact-olympus-america.

The Mining Industry Enters Its Most Important Decade

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:12 AM PST

LONDON, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The international mining industry is facing arguably "its most important decade" as the world starts the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, the CEO of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), Rohitesh Dhawan, said in an interview as part of the Future Minerals Summit conversation series last week.

Dhawan emphasized that mining will be at the very center of this transition because of the burgeoning demand for metals used in solar and wind power, and in the batteries needed to drive electric vehicles.

On the back of his confirmed participation at the Future Minerals Summit in Riyadh, Dhawan stressed ICMM's simple message of "mining with principles" to maximize the benefit of mining while minimizing the harm to people and the environment. Dhawan said that ICMM seeks to ensure that the lives of everyone touched by mining are made better, and that the operations are safe, fair, equitable, just and sustainable.

ICMM's 28 corporate members represent one-third of the global mining industry, and through its association members the council has an indirect influence on most of the sector.

These issues are amongst those being addressed at The Future Minerals Summit (FMS) in Riyadh on January 11-13, 2022. Convened by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the Summit will include senior political and business leaders, and will discuss crucial issues facing the global mining industry. With over 150+ Mining, Exploration and Development companies expected to attend, and over 2,000 in-person attendees, the summit program will shape the future of mining with a focus on three main themes: mining's contribution to society, reimagining mining, and investing in new and emerging mining regions.

The Middle East, Central Asia and Africa have the mineral endowment and the right geography to become a hub for the minerals value chain and play a vital role in meeting the exponential growth in global demand for the critical minerals needed in a low-carbon society.

The Future Minerals Summit has confirmed participations from several international mining-company leaders and CEOs of organizations such as Barrick Gold and Alcoa, Mark Bristow and Roy Harvey; and the chairmen of Ivanhoe Mines and of Fortescue Metals, Robert Friedland and Andrew Forrest. Numerous other industry leaders will include the CEOs of Trafigura and Komatsu Mining, Jeremy Weir and Jeffrey Dawes.

The Summit in Riyadh at the beginning of next year will play an important part in driving home the message that mining is part of the solution to the world's carbon emissions problem, and new mineralized regions can, and should, be opened up to deliver the necessary raw materials.About the future minerals summit: Event Dates: 11-13 January 2022, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The Future Minerals Summit is an international initiative convened by Saudi Arabia and dedicated to advancing mining and unlocking opportunity across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.

Under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the Future Minerals Summit will convene the global mining industry and those invested in its future to a conversation about the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, and their potential to attract investment and grow the sector in line with international sustainability standards.

The Future Mining Summit is your gateway to a new and emerging mining hub across countries that hold a huge potential for mining investors.

The three-day event is expected to attract more than 2,000 attendees from more than 95 countries, 150 investors, 100 global speakers, 100 mining corporates and 15 ministers and heads of state.
