  • LPI to Recommence Exploration Activity Adjacent to the Greenbushes Lithium Mine
    ASX RELEASE LPI.ASX 7 January 2021 LPI to Recommence Exploration Activity Adjacent to the Greenbushes Lithium Mine Lithium Power International Limited (ASX: LPI) (LPI or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration strategy in Western Australia, focused on the company’s Greenbushes project in the south-west of the state. The project is wholly-owned by LPI and is located adjacent to the world’s highest grade spodumene lithium mine. HIGHLIGHTS • The 100 per cent-owned Greenbushes tenements cover 39,800 ha north and south of the Greenbushes mine owned and operated by major lithium producers Albemarle and Tianqi. • The northern tenement is immediately adjacent to the Greenbushes mine and has been the focus of most exploration activity by LPI in late 2019 and early 2020. • Exploration defined the 3 by 1 km Balingup East Target as a continuation of the large arsenic lithium halo around the nearby giant Greenbushes lithium mine. 201 Surface samples were taken over 60 km2, with further sampling planned to define drill targets. • LPI identified further drill targets in the East Kirup area to the north of Balingup, over 3 by 0.5 km, with pegmatite outcrop in the prospective amphibolite unit. • LPI has received drilling approval and will be conducting additional geochemical sampling before drilling commences. Project Background LPI wishes to update shareholders regarding the reactivation of the company’s Western Australian exploration projects. They have been on hold during most of 2020 due to Covid restrictions and low lithium prices. We are now seeing substantial improvement in current and forecast demand for lithium, with prices forecast to increase during 2021 and beyond.

No.2006BAJ05A13(Sponsoring information) Abstract This study has been performed in order to analyze the coordinated degree and evolving trends of the land intensive use and land eco-security based on the statistical data from 1998 to 2007 in Chengdu city by Synergetios theory and dynamic coordinated degrees model. Results show that during the study period, the level of land intensive use and land ecological security both rose in Chengdu, the former continuing to raise, the overall increasing but some fluctuations in the latter. Dynamic coordinated degree in 10 years is between 8.99°~57.71° with a trend of rising firstly then dropping, undergoing the process from a relatively harmonious development to the best coordinated development, then to less coordinated development. From 2005, the coordinated degree between the two systems began to decline. Keywords: Urban land intensive-use, Urban land ecological security, Coordinated degree 1.

  • An Analysis of Urban Green Landscape Pattern in Chengdu City
    Proceedings of 14th Youth Conference on Communication An Analysis of Urban Green Landscape Pattern in Chengdu City Based on CBERS/CCD 1 2 3 3 DAN Bo , DAN Shang-ming , XU Hui-xi , XUE Wan-rong 1. Sichuan Provincial Meteorological Observatory, Chengdu 610072, P.R.China 2. Sichuan Province Agrimeteorological Center, Chengdu 610072, P.R.China 3. Institute of Engineering Surveying, Sichuan College of Architectural Technology, Deyang 618000, P.R.China [email protected] Abstract: Based on GIS and CBERS/CCD which was obtained on June 16, 2006, patches of urban green in the main urban areas of Chengdu are extracted using many quantitative indicators and by method of decision tree classification, according to principles and methods of landscape ecology. Patches of urban green are divided into four grades, and they are respectively small-scale patch, medium-scale patch, large-scale patch and special large-scale patch. The area pro- portion of small-scale patch is 3.8%, and that of medium-scale patch is 11.1%, that of large-scale patch is 22.3% and that of special large-scale patch is 62.8%.The results of fragmentation, contagion, diversity index, dominance and evenness are obtained. They are 0.854, 0.600, 0.657, 0.730 and 0.690 respectively. The research results think that scal- ability characteristics and divisional differences of green patches are obvious. A little number of green whose area is bigger mainly is composed of scenic spots, gardens and universities. There are many problems, for example, connec- tivity of urban green is low, structure of landscape is single, and spatial distribution is unbalanced.

  • EPBC Act Referral - Talison Lithium Australia: Greenbushes Mine Expansion
    EPBC Act referral - Talison Lithium Australia: Greenbushes Mine Expansion Title of Proposal - Talison Lithium Australia: Greenbushes Mine Expansion Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Mining 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. The Greenbushes Lithium Mine is an existing mining operation owned and operated by Talison Lithium Australia Pty Ltd (Talison, or the Proponent). The mine is located within the Shire of Bridgetown – Greenbushes immediately south of the Greenbushes townsite, approximately 250 km south of Perth and 80 km south east of Bunbury (Attachment 1 – Figure 1). The Greenbushes area has been subject to mining activity since the discovery of tin in the 1880’s. The current Greenbushes Lithium Mine has been operated as a modern open cut, hard rock operation on a continuous basis since 1983, with both tantalum and spodumene (lithium) ores being extracted and processed. Talison currently undertakes mining and processing of spodumene ore at the Greenbushes Lithium Mine to produce a lithium mineral concentrate of approximately 6% Lithium Oxide (Li2O). The mine is currently authorised to treat up to 4.7 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of spodumene ore. Talison proposes to undertake an expansion of the existing Greenbushes Lithium Mine to increase the production of lithium mineral concentrate from the Greenbushes deposit (the proposed action, the Project). The expansion will increase throughput at the Greenbushes operation from the current 4.7 Mtpa to 9.5 Mtpa of spodumene ore to produce up to 2.3 Mtpa of lithium mineral concentrate.

Received: 4 October 2017; Accepted: 13 February 2018; Published: 16 February 2018 Abstract: Most cities in China are experiencing severe air pollution due to rapid economic development and accelerated urbanization. Long-term air pollution data with high temporal and spatial resolutions are needed to support research into physical and chemical processes that affect air quality, and the corresponding health risks. For the first time, data on PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, O3 and CO concentrations in 23 ambient air quality automatic monitoring stations and routine meteorological were collected between January 2014 and December 2016 to determine the spatial and temporal variation in these pollutants and influencing factors in Chengdu. The annual mean concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 exceeded the standard of Chinese Ambient Air Quality and World Health Organization guidelines standards at all of the stations. The concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and CO decreased from 2014 to 2016, and the NO2 level was stable, whereas the O3 level increased markedly during this period.
