Mantle Minerals (ASX:MTL) has announced it’s kicking off a 122-hole drill run on-site its Mt Berghaus acreage in Western Australia. An aircore rig will be the first to sink holes on-site the tenements in question with all approvals in place and equipment locked in for a start “within weeks.” Those tenements are E47/4531 and E45/5899 under the WA resources regulatory system with drillholes expected to hit around 80m deep. Drillhole target locations were informed by a geophys review conducted last year and the company believes it may have a shot...…Mantle Minerals (ASX:MTL) has announced it’s kicking off a 122-hole drill run on-site its Mt Berghaus acreage in Western Australia.

Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX: WBC) has maintained that it’s tracking solidly within the framework of a slowing economy and competition from other banking institutions, as it reported a 16 percent drop in net profit (to $3.342 billion) for the first half of the 2024 financial year compared to the same time last year. There was however some growth from the second half of 2023, with net profits up 5% from that period. Competition within the mortgage sector was evident in the drop of core net interest margin (NIM) by 9 basis points year on year compared to the first half...…Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX: WBC) has maintained that it’s tracking solidly within the framework of a slowing economy and competition from other banking institutions, as it reported a 16 percent drop in net profit (to $3.342 billion) for the first half of the 2024 financial year compared to the same time last year.

If you needed evidence that Tamboran Resources (ASX:TBN) is bullish on the NT’s Beetaloo Basin, look no further than its decision to list on the NYSE. Describing its “intention” on Monday, Tamboran is ultimately seeking cash from US IPO watchers to help develop its Beetaloo project. This is probably a sensible strategy. A second year of record drought continues to define Australia’s own IPO market – a topic which isn’t getting much attention right now (despite making this...…If you needed evidence that Tamboran Resources (ASX:TBN) is bullish on the NT’s Beetaloo Basin, look no further than its decision to list on the NYSE.

Multi-mineral explorer Rincon Resources Ltd (ASX: RCR) believes that drill core picked up from a maiden program of work at its West Arunta project in Western Australia indicates potential for a major iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposit. The company finished up a two-hole drilling program at the Pokali prospect, with the second hole – drilled to 634 metres – intersecting multiple zones of moderate to strong magnetite alteration. Within this, they found quartz and sulphide veining with copper sulphide and other minerals, including an array of chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, native copper...…Multi-mineral explorer Rincon Resources Ltd (ASX: RCR) believes that drill core picked up from a maiden program of work at its West Arunta project in Western Australia indicates potential for a major iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposit.

Article TextBrief communicationCOVID-19: in the footsteps of Ernest ShackletonWe describe what we believe is the first instance of complete COVID-19 testing of all passengers and crew on an isolated cruise ship during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Of the 217 passengers and crew on board, 128 tested positive for COVID-19 on reverse transcription–PCR (59%). Of the COVID-19-positive patients, 19% (24) were symptomatic; 6.2% (8) required medical evacuation; 3.1% (4) were intubated and ventilated; and the mortality was 0.8% (1). The majority of COVID-19-positive patients were asymptomatic (81%,...…Article TextBrief communicationCOVID-19: in the footsteps of Ernest ShackletonWe describe what we believe is the first instance of complete COVID-19 testing of all passengers and crew on an isolated cruise ship during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Edited by James E. Haber, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, and approved February 4, 2021 (received for review October 29, 2020)DNA resection is an initial, decisive step in the homologous recombination repair pathway of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, the individual roles and cross-talk of key proteins in this process remain unclear. To resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics of this intricate process, we applied multicolor single-molecule localization microscopy along with robust analytical approaches. Our data reveal the dynamic actions and interactions of MRE11, BRCA1, and CtIP...…Edited by James E.
