James Campbell presented an update on the African Diamonds/De Beers joint venture's Boteti Exploration project in Botswana. Phase 1 drilling successfully delineated an inferred resource of 59 million tons at 25 carats per hundred tons. Phase 2 aims to define an indicated resource through additional drilling and a 4,000 carat bulk sample. Engineering studies are evaluating plant designs and open pit mine plans. Immediate next steps include a resource update in July, completing a conceptual study in Q3 2006, and advancing to a pre-feasibility study by Q2 2007 to evaluate developing a stand-alone mine.

Global Status of CCS: 2016. Saline Aquifer Storage Performance at the Quest C...Global CCS Institute
The Global CCS Institute launched The Global Status of CCS: 2016 at a dedicated event at the 22nd conference of the parties (COP 22) in Marrakech on Tuesday, 15 November.
The Global Status of CCS: 2016 report is an essential reference for industry, government, research bodies, and the broader community, providing a comprehensive overview of global and regional CCS developments.
Following the report launch, we will run a number of webinars commencing in November 2016, through to early 2017.
A Summary of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 will be accessible on our website from 15 November, and includes updates on key CCS facilities, including two major facilities now in operation:
Shell’s Quest Project in Canada
Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project in Japan
These projects are significant 2016 milestones and testament to the safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness of CCS as an integral technology to meeting Paris Agreement climate change targets.
Please join us for the first of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 webinar series.
Saline Aquifer Storage Performance at the Quest CCS Project
As one of a handful of large-scale CCS projects currently injecting CO2 into a dedicated saline aquifer storage site, Shell’s Quest project offers a unique case study into the performance of dedicated storage. The Quest project injects CO2 into the Basal Cambrian Sandstone located 2 km below the surface. After the first year of operations, the Quest reservoir has exceeded internal expectations. While the original premise called for eight wells, today only two of three constructed injection wells take 100 per cent of project volumes (~140 tonnes /hr).
In this webinar, Simon O’Brien, Shell Quest Subsurface Manager, discussed storage performance at Quest after one year of operations as well as early results from the measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) plan.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Large Diameter Drilling & core drilling.
Phase 2 (planned to give an indicated resource): 500 carats - 50m grid centre Large Diameter
Drilling, 4,000 carats – Bulk sampling & core drilling. An indicated resource is a requirement of a
bankable feasibility study, as required by the Boteti JV agreement
Phase 3: 1,000 carats - 25m grid centre LDD (may not be required, depending on Phase 1
and 2 results)
7. 7
Summary of Phase 1 results
Macro-diamond results issued for 12 LDD holes (82 tonnes of
DMS concentrate), 13th and last hole results to be issued
during May 2006.
A total of 9,970 diamonds weighing 661 carats to date
recovered from 2,438 ton of in situ sample from 12 LDD holes
Diamond Characteristics
● Largest diamond recovered c. 8-carats in size
● Presence of Type II diamonds
● Low % diamond breakage
● Diamonds adhering to kimberlite during recovery, especially in the
harder south lobe kimberlite
8. 8
Progress on Phase 2
Pilot Core Drilling
10 (3,472m) holes to precede Phase 2 LDD completed as planned.
All core logged and sampled for petrography, Ore Dressing Studies
& density.
Some holes in south lobe indicate additional kimberlite than model
suggests. To extend PLT016 deeper
Delineation Drilling
Vertical hole drilled north of north lobe indicates additional
kimberlite volume. Further delineation required.
Deep hole to delineate root zones of north/centre lobes & bottom of
south lobe in progress. Potential for additional kimberlite.
Dedicated delineation programme (>7,000m) to arrive at an indicated
level of confidence in geological model will commence in Q2 2006.
Completion in Q3 2006.
Preliminary geotechnical drilling (4-5 holes) planned as output to pre-
feasibility study.
Phase 2 Large Diameter Drilling
Re-scheduled ahead of planned bulk sampling.
In-fill drilling:10 x 23-inch LDD holes to determine grade at 50m hole
spacing grid.
3 holes completed in centre lobe. South lobe drilling in progress.
2 of 7 holes planned in south lobe to go 600-700m depth to confirm
grade continuity with depth.
Planned to complete drilling end August and processing end
September 2006.
The current 3D geological model
suggests a total resource to 59Mt.
There is potential for additional
kimberlite volume
9. 9
Phase 2 Bulk Sampling Strategy
Bulk sampling options to recover c.4,000 carats (2,000 carats centre & south lobes
each) for revenue estimation
● Shaft & horizontal adits to targeted areas
● Surface trenching
● Drill 1.5m diameter holes using Bauer BG36 rig
● Easy-Pipe directional tunneling system
Decision about which method(s) will be based on the outcome of Phase 1 diamond
revenue results post the layout in early July. In the meantime scopes of work and
contract tender preparations in progress for selected technology
The current diamond size frequency distributions tend to support a difference between
South and Centre lobes, therefore assortments may be different. North lobe not
material.
Investigations aimed at increasing the plant top cut-off size to c. 20mm in progress. Aim
is also to recover the large diamonds including the fragile Type II’s.
DMS plant upgrades to handle the bulk sample throughputs (and ensure large & Type II
diamond recoveries where present) to commence after Phase 2 LDD sample
processing in early September 2006.
