For the moment, skeptics of Climeworks’s business plan are correct: The company is not turning a profit. To build and install the 18 units at Hinwil, hand-assembled in a second-floor workshop in Zurich, cost between $3 million and $4 million, which is the primary reason it costs the firm between $500 and $600 to remove a metric ton of CO₂ from the air. Even as the company has attracted about $50 million in private investments and grants, it faces the same daunting task that confronted Carl Bosch a century ago: How much can it bring costs down? And how fast can it scale up?
Saying he hates to be the dog in the manger, Marty says, “I think that’s just rust-colored, Gary.”
Watching only gauges can be self-defeating, because, by the time they register an anomaly, something significant already has happened in the ground. Hissem talks of the old days when drill operators were exposed to the heat and cold and dust and noise. “Then we got cabs and old-timers didn’t like it, even though they were more comfortable, because it cut them off from sensory information.” So-called “smart drills” are being developed with onboard intelligence and systems that will separate operators even more from the “feel” of operation. Until such machines dominate drill sites, operators should keep sensing the pulse of their machines. They should actively monitor such things as the flushing action, any pitch changes in the drill string, subtle movements that indicate a change in rock pressure, the size of cuttings, and groundwater. Hissem believes a master driller can fully develop this “sixth sense” in a couple of years.
The Updated 2019 Mineral Resource will be used as a basis for an updated feasibility study which is expected to be prepared for Q4-2019.
That new design is about to be put to the test. The BAS team completed its ice coring on January 10 and will next examine the iceâs chemical composition, including gases trapped within the ice, to learn more about the regionâs climatic history. Meanwhile, the Glasgow team is preparing to send its drill down into one of the ice boreholes.
Elsewhere, members of the team travel 60 miles east to the Center of Geographic Sciences in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia, to follow up on the offshore data that experts collected in last week’s episode. There they are told that LIDAR scans reveal two possible vent locations off the southern shore of Oak Island, just south of the swamp. Could these be a cause of the ice holes that Dan Blankenship found in the same area back in the 1970s?

At the Kalana Main deposit, the in-fill drilling program improved the geological model and converted a portion of the previously classified Inferred Resource in the northeastern part of the deposit to the Indicated category.
Ity is expected to produce 160- 200koz in 2019 at an AISC of $525- 590/oz, with the bottom-end of production guidance corresponding to the nameplate capacity while the top-end factors in possible upsides from an earlier start date, a quicker than expected ramp-up and the plant producing above its nameplate.
Club conundrum: Winning. It sounds blindingly obvious, probably because it is. Irish need to win five games – that has kept four teams up in the last five years, Newcastle stayed in the league with three wins in 2014. It will not be easy – Irish do not have a fortress home ground, but they do have the talent and coaching nous to stay up. Beating Worcester twice should be their first aim.
