Lithium Oversupply? Hold Your Horses - Simon Clarke - American Lithium Corp
American Lithium is well-positioned to play a key role in society’s shift to a secure, sustainable new energy paradigm in the Americas. With a focus on Nevada and Peru, the company has the advantage of both geographic and geological diversity in developing world-class, scalable projects. In south-central Nevada, the company owns the TLC claystone lithium deposit, which is in close proximity to the Tesla giga-factory in Nevada. In south-eastern Peru, American Lithium is developing the advanced-stage Falchani hard rock lithium deposit, as well as one of the world’s largest undeveloped uranium deposits, known as Macusani. Ensuring a safe, secure supply of strategic battery/energy metals is of growing importance to the US and other Western nations. Hence, the Biden Administration has legislated “critical minerals” initiatives to presage the development of sustainable domestic lithium supplies. Similarly, long-term supplies from politically “friendly” nations like Peru are also being targeted by the US. American Lithium is ideally positioned in both regards.

CEOs Flock to PrTMS to Maintain Peak Job Performance - Nicholas Mathews - The Brain Lab
TMS is a drug-free, non-invasive therapy that has been evolving and advancing for decades. TMS treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate electrical activity in the brain’s neurons. Non-personalized versions of this therapy have been cleared by the FDA for use in treating a limited number of conditions, including Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and pain associated with certain migraine headaches.Personalized repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (PrTMS) is TMS – but with a smarter, more sophisticated approach. Unlike conventional TMS that is one-size-fits-all, PrTMS utilizes a proprietary, patent-pending protocol to develop personalized treatment plans that customize the TMS therapy delivered to each patient – which may help patients achieve optimal results. PrTMS may be successful in treating a variety of brain health conditions.More Info: https://www.brainlabx.com/Support the show: https://hype.co/@gritdailynewsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
