The document provides an investment analysis for Bard Ventures Ltd, a junior mining company focused on molybdenum exploration. A recently completed Preliminary Economic Assessment expanded Bard's measured, indicated, and inferred resources at its Lone Pine project to 163 million tonnes containing 215 million pounds of molybdenum and 73 million pounds of copper. The PEA outlined an open-pit mine with annual production of 40,000 tonnes per day and initial CAPEX of $435 million. However, the analyst's discounted cash flow valuation yielded a negative net present value given long-term price assumptions for molybdenum and copper.
The document provides frequently asked questions and answers about the Little Colorado Water Rights Settlement between the Navajo Nation and other parties. It discusses what water rights are, the process the Nation took to obtain water rights, and why the Nation is waiving aboriginal water rights claims in this settlement.

Navajo President Ben Shelly held an informative meeting about the Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement where only three delegates were represented. The nearly day-long meeting included discussions led by water rights attorneys about each section of the complex settlement document. If approved, the settlement would finalize the Navajo Nation's claim to 160,000 acre feet of surface water annually and protect upstream portions of the river from additional claims. It would also fund two new water pipeline projects to bring communities increased access to water and opportunities for development. President Shelly emphasized the positive impacts approval could have on quality of life and economic opportunities for Navajo people and communities.
Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly met with Senator Jon Kyl to discuss the Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Settlement Agreement and concerns raised by Navajo community members about certain provisions. They discussed clarifying language to ensure the Nation does not waive rights to the Colorado River main stem and other changes to address confusion. President Shelly and Senator Kyl agreed to work together to assure transparent consideration of the proposed settlement.
President Shelly reaffirmed his support for the education process regarding the Little Colorado River Water Settlement at a meeting in Leupp, Arizona. He has not signed anything for the settlement and wants to ensure the Navajo people are properly educated about its implications. The proposed settlement would provide the Navajo Nation with unlimited groundwater rights, protect surface water rights, and fund infrastructure projects in affected communities like Leupp, but many attendees at the meetings have still expressed opposition without offering alternatives. Vice President Rex Lee Jim also spoke in support of understanding the complicated legal terms of the proposed settlement.
President Shelly has not announced a position on the Little Colorado River Water Settlement. At a recent community forum, President Shelly said he is continuing to listen to Navajo people's concerns about the settlement. A press release misstated that President Shelly planned to stop the bill in Washington D.C., which would go against the town hall process of listening to local views. Nearly 20 people spoke at the forum, which was attended by over 100 people from local communities. The proposed settlement would bring over $350 million for water infrastructure and recognize Navajo rights while limiting other groups' access to water if certain conditions are met.
This document is a bill to approve a settlement of water rights claims between the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and their allottees in the State of Arizona. It would ratify and confirm a settlement agreement between these parties and the United States to resolve any claims to water from the Little Colorado River system and other areas in Arizona. It would also authorize the Secretary to carry out obligations under the settlement agreement, including constructing municipal water projects, and appropriate funds to fulfill obligations to the Native American parties.
The document discusses water resources in the Little Colorado River Basin, including the mainstem Little Colorado River, washes, and various aquifers. It also mentions municipal water development projects like the Leupp-Dilkon and Ganado Regional Groundwater Projects as well as an OM&R Fund and settlement funding related to costs and other matters.
The document provides an overview of the proposed Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement. It discusses the history of water rights claims in the region and definitions of key terms. The settlement would recognize the Navajo Nation's federal reserved water rights to surface and groundwater in the Little Colorado River system. It would fund infrastructure projects to deliver water to Navajo communities and establish management plans for shared aquifers and washes. Passing federal settlement legislation is necessary to authorize the projects and finalize the agreement in state court. The alternative is continuing litigation over Navajo water rights claims without guaranteed funding for water projects.
The document provides an overview of the federal budget process and opportunities for the Navajo Nation to participate and advocate for their budget priorities at different stages. It outlines the timeline and key steps, including the President's budget proposal to Congress, congressional budget resolutions, appropriations bills drafted by committees, and final approval of appropriation bills. It also identifies the current members of the Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah congressional delegations relevant to Navajo Nation advocacy.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

I am thankful for these past two years that you have allowed me to serve as the President of
the Navajo Nation. Two and half years ago, I spoke of change in the areas of infrastructure,
economic prosperity, health, education and creating an open and accountable government. I am
pleased to bring you this report of the accomplishments that my staff and I, along with the Vice
President and his staff, have completed in the two years we have been in office.
Since I was sworn in as you President, I have taken on many challenges from cleaning up uranium
mines, to providing better roads, and practicing sound fiscal responsibility. I have put Navajo
issues on the minds of county, state, and federal leaders. We are moving forward and creating
progress. But we aren't done. We have more accomplishments to look forward to.
Navajo Nation President I assure you that as we look ahead, we are going to create more positive changes for our People.

I share the following accomplishments as few examples of what we have worked
on in the office of the Navajo Nation Vice President. We faced many challenges that
tested our patience and skills and we did what we needed to do to advance possible
solutions. We also embraced many opportunities to advance our education, health,
economic prosperity, and advocacy agenda. While we continue to fight for our
rights, we also simultaneously fight for the human rights of indigenous peoples.
Our accomplishments for the Navajo Nation would not have been possible without
your support, commitment and prayers. Thank you for your confidence in the
President and I to lead the Navajo Nation. We shall continue to build a stronger
and more effective and transparent government. We also shall continue to protect Navajo Nation Vice President
our precious children and build strong families and communities.

the power of our future intertwined.
Saved Navajo
Head Start
Just over a year ago, Navajo Head
Start was scheduled for terminiation
by the federal government, meaning
the federal government would've
taken over the program. We held a
tribal consultation with the Head
Start director and kept the program
in Navajo hands. We are restructuring
the program. We made bold
changes to the program including a
restructuring plan that was recently
approved. We kept the $27 million
program as a Navajo program so
we can teach our youngest children
what we as Navajo People want our
children to learn.
Strong Leadership
4. Solid Waste
Management agreement
We worked to resolve issues with Coconino County in Arizona
that both saved the Navajo Nation money and created a way
for our Navajo people in Coconino County to dispose of their
trash in a way that keeps our lands beautiful. With our new
agreement, we save the Navajo Nation $1 million. We also
worked with San Juan County in New Mexico to implement a
countywide recycling program.
land development
The Navajo Nation Sales Tax Redistribution Act created an
avenue in which we will be able to "pre-develop" land to make
the business sites more appealing to investors and small busi-
nesses. This will also help with local infrastructure.

We secured more than $52 million in community development traNSit
funding to start and complete 52 projects on the Navajo Nation.

New projects will begin in 2013 with $10 million
designated to the Navajo Nation for roads. This is the
beginning in which we are aiming to get more direct
funding for roads. We can now target areas that need road
improvements or construction the most.

lars. The project will bring about 600 jobs as we construct 280
miles of water pipeline. In addition, we worked hard with the
Department of Interior to make sure the project was on Presi-
dent Barrack Obama's priority list. Our Navajo people in New
Mexico will have cleaner and safer water to drink. The water
for this project comes from the Navajo Nation's approval of the
San Juan River Water Settlement with the state of New Mexico.

6. Safer Communities
We added 41 new first responders, 20 new police officers and
21 new fire fighters. We are working to add more qualified
people to the ranks of agents who protect our way of life.
New justice Centers
We have nearly completed construction of three new
judicial complexes in Kayenta, Tuba City and Crown-
point. We secured the funding to ensure the buildings
were constructed. When fully operational, the centers
will help shorten response times for emergencies.
viewing Bennett Freeze and Hpl residents
For far too many years, our people in the former Bennett Freeze and Hopi/Navajo Partitioned Lands have lived
without new infrastruture. We have visited more than a dozen homes in both areas. Now that we have a first
hand understanding of the situation of our residents, we can formulize solutions that will responsibly help our
people. We will continue to work to bring these homes and lands into new prosperity.

7. Social Media and Web
transparency
Cfu
We have opened our government by creating a new website and creating
social media profiles. Through these tools, we update our Navajo People
about our projects, our whereabouts and what we are working on. This has
allowed us to be more transparent and open with the People so they can find
out what their leaders are doing.
National labs Mou's
In 2012, we signed Memorandums of Understanding with
Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Laboratories. They
will help us protect and safely develop our natural resources.
Navajo id Cards
In November 2011, we launched the Navajo Identification Card. Our Navajo tribal members
can now get a Navajo Identification Card through the Office of Vital Statistics after paying a
fee. The cards have been cleared to serve as identification for airport travel, cashing checks
and travel to Mexico and Canada. Our partnerships with the federal Department of Homeland
Security made this possible.

10. Navajo gaming
The future for Navajo gaming is getting brighter. This year we
opened Northern Edge in Upper Fruitland, N.M., which joined
Fire Rock and Flowing Water gaming establishments. Northern
Edge created more than 300 new jobs and the Twin Arrows Ca-
sino and Resort will open by summer of 2013. Twin Arrows will
create about 800 new jobs for the Navajo Nation.
Workforce development
We secured more than $7 million from the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act to help train Navajo workers throughout
Workforce Development Department. We created 80 jobs, and
trained more than 800 Navajo workers.
Bringing New technology

Secured a $32 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment
We have written an Energy Policy to guide the Navajo Nation Act funding to build a 4G broadband network on the Navajo Na-
into the future. From coal to renewable energy, once the Nava- tion. Soon homes and wireless data will be as fast as large cities.
jo Nation Council approves the policy, we can formally lay the
foundation for Energy Policy to guide the Nation as we expand
our energy portfolio.
economic prosperity
11. tax Credits
We have made it easier for new businesses to have the oppor-
tunity to get loans with the assistance of tax credits. The New
Markets Tax Credit and the EB-5 program allows for tax credits
up to 20 percent, making it easier for new Navajo business to
attain loans.
Business retention
program
Every year, between $700 million and $1 billion dollars created
on the Navajo Nation leaves the Navajo Nation to stores and busi-
nesses off the Nation. We need to keep that money here on the
Navajo Nation so we can build a stronger economy. This program
will develop methods to keep Navajo money on the Navajo Nation.
Coal Mine ownership
This will help spur business growth and lead to the creation of
new jobs.

become one of the first Indian tribes to own a large scale mine.

12. reduCiNg drug traFFiC
The Department of Public Safety has seized $3.7 million of
illegal drugs and $530,000 in drug money. Less drugs on the
Nation means a safer place for our children to grow up and
continue practicing our Navajo culture.
proteCtiNg our WoMeN, CHildreN
aNd diSaBled
This year, we passed and signed the Alchini Bi Beehazaanii Act, the
Vulnerable Adult Protection Act and the Violence Against Women Act. All
three acts have strengthened our Navajo Codes to protect our precious
relatives.
SoCial ServiCe pl aN oF operatioN
The Navajo Division of Social Services launched a new plan of operation that will better serve our People.
The plan calls for more field offices, a unified record keeping system and more frontline workers. We created
34 new jobs and will soon be opening an office for the Department of Family Services in Aneth, Utah.

Our people deserve access to health care no matter where they live
on the Navajo Nation. Our leadership has assured construction of five
health care centers remain a priority for Indian Health Services. Good
leadership makes sure we get funding for important projects at the
federal level.

This study will explore the possibilities of the Navajo Nation
taking control of Medicaid for the Navajo People. The Shelly/Jim
Administration has advocated for our own Medicaid office so we can
better help our people. The study is a first step in attaining stronger
sovereignty for the health of our People.

14. Enhancing Navajo
Culture in Schools
We signed two Memorandums of Understanding that give our
Navajo children attending off reservation schools the opportunity
to learn Navajo language and culture.
$3 Million for Navajo
Scholarships
We passed and signed the Navajo Sales Tax Redistribution Reform
Act, which creates up to $3million of funding for Navajo scholar-
ships. We met with students from area universities in town hall
formatted meetings. We pushed this legislation because we know
our Navajo students need funding for secondary education.
Education
15. Keeping a district together
Last year, Central Consolidated School District in the Four Corners area had a non-reserva-
tion group who wanted to split the district in half. The new half didn't see Navajo cul-
ture classes as a priority even though 80 percent of the school children were Navajo. We
worked together and spoke with New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez and Public Edu-
cation Secretary Hannah Skandera about the splitting of the school district. Our efforts
helped keep the school district unified.
Keeping Schools open
When Gallup McKinley School Board voted to close middle schools in Navajo, Tohatchi
and Crownpoint, we actively sought meetings with New Mexico Gov. Martinez and Sec.
Skandera. The state decided to keep the schools open because of the school board didn't
adhere to the Indian Education Act. Our children's education determines how bright our
collective future is.
providing Better data to Help
our Children
We entered into an agreement with the state of New Mexico so they can
share test scores with the Department of Diné Education so we can find
new ways to help our children succeed.
