Tesla shares have rebounded from the $180s so CEO Elon Musk has come out of the woodwork suggesting mining might be on the agenda to lock in its future battery supply.
Tesla might be adept at digging financial holes for itself but we shouldn’t think that will turn it into an efficient miner.
Just typical Musk banter.
Underground tunnels have been a feature of Hamas’ tactics to create havoc in Israel. An Israeli start-up company has developed a drone with equipment that can detect changes in soil composition, seismic activity and geology with use of hyper-spectral and 4K high definition thermo-imaging cameras. The IDF has deployed the system and used it to seek and destroy offending tunnels on Israel’s side of the fence.
The company claims the technology will be just as useful to mining companies for site testing new deposits as the sensors can breakdown the composition of minerals up to 100 metres below the surface. So instead of millions of dollars and onerous environmental impact studies to drill into the soil using cumbersome heavy equipment, a surveyor can use a drone for a fraction of the cost with zero impact on the planet. Innovation.
