...Zijin, China's leading gold miner, last year purchased a company with gold-mining and exploration rights in Tajikistan and a stake in a Philippine gold and copper project. Zijin also led a consortium that bought a majority stake in London-listed Monterrico Metals, which owns a copper and molybdenum project in Peru. "All the big mining groups started this way," says Atherley, the Australian mining-company executive. "They get a good mine and they start acquiring. It is really down to corporate fate.

There is little use coming to him or her for help if you insist your arthritis is due to an imbalance between yin and yang, an interruption of some imaginary force field or a dietary deficiency of molybdenum. There's so much information (as well as misinformation) in medicine - and, yes, a lot of it can be Googled - that one major responsibility of an expert is to know what to ignore...
Other experiments were designed to test the benefits of weightlessness on industrial processes. An isothermal heating oven melted samples of metals such as nickel and molybdenum to a temperature of 1,600°C to test a technique for creating stronger alloys, while a mirror-heater was employed to grow ultrapure crystals, which could someday benefit the microchip industry...
...beginning of the realization of science fiction nightmares hypothesized for years - is that eventually drone robots, in a future robot civilization, will teach themselves to sing, "I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,/alive as you and me," and will walk out of the robot factories, pumping molybdenum fists in the air and striking to demand ... to demand....

It will not occur to them to strike. Your ideal robot has zero discontents. The American...
...Colorado Mining Action Project. From Denver the Cessna 210 heads south to New Mexico, then north along the spine of the Rockies above ulcerated | earth where the land has bled money -- from gold at Victor near Pikes Peak, and at Battle Mountain near San Luis, Colorado; and from molybdenum at Questa in northern New Mexico and at the vast Amax mine near Leadville. The hawk's-eye view shows the wreckage of mountains, dead land that will not revegetate, soured rivers, towns left to wither when mineral prices dropped and distant corporate directors cut their losses...
