MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Newcrest Mining Ltd said on Thursday it had committed A$246 million ($181.4 million) to expand open pit mining at its Telfer operations in Western Australia, which will extend the operations for at least two years.

Australias largest listed gold miner said in a filing it had entered into a contract for work to proceed from one pit to the next at the gold, copper and silver mines in the states remote Paterson province.

This... is an investment in Telfers future which will ensure the operation is able to continue for at least the next two years, Chief Executive Officer Sandeep Biswas said.

With additional drilling, we believe there is the potential for further mine life extensions in the open pit and the underground beyond this time.

Telfer hosts the largest gold processing facility in the states remote Paterson Province where it produces gold dor and a copper-gold concentrate, and has capacity to process more.

But as the open pit mines have neared end of life, concerns have grown that its processing facility would run out of feed and become uneconomic.

The announcement signals increasing confidence around Newcrests big exploration find Havieron, which is nearby, said RBC in a note, which could feed into the Telfer processing circuit and lengthen its life.

We believe this opens up long-term optionality with Havieron and potential mine-life extension (at Telfer). The announcement today flags NCMs confidence in Havieron, it said in a report.

RBC values Havieron at around A$800m or ~A$1/sh for its 60% share in the project, which it owns with London-listed Greatland Gold and in which it can earn up to a 70% interest if it meets certain commitments.

Production stripping for the cutback will start next month, with first ore production expected to be delivered to the Telfer mine in March 2022, Newcrest said.

The announcement comes weeks after the miner reported a 5.4% drop in its June quarter output, following unplanned downtime at its Lihir mine in Papua New Guinea.

If 100 is already the new 80, what about living till youre 150 years old? Growing up, my dad, a doctor obsessed with the idea of immortality, would tell how his grandparents back in Lebanon had lived well past the 100-year mark. How? They simply ate well, he used to say, as if their secret was no mystery at all. But back in the mid-19th century, they were the exception to the rule: People generally died much, much earlier.

Today, as humans continue to lust after any number of material and immaterial objects, scientists are researching radical life extension technology like never before. Amazing, right? Lets see. Read on to learn about the great, the weird and the downright costly behind our quest for eternal existence.

Editors note: OZYs all about bringing you the new and the next . . . in fresh ways. Were trying a new look for your favorite newsletter to make your experience even more delicious. Please share your thoughts on the new look below.

Probably. Think about it: 200 years ago, there was no such thing as an active 90-year-old. Fast forward 20 decades, and photos of people breaching the 100-year barrier have become almost routine. Vaccines, antibiotics and a better understanding of what is good for our bodies and minds have taken us far. By 2050, the U.N. estimates there will be 3.7 million centenarians around the world, a major bump from the nearly 600,000 today. How can we push our biological clocks even more, keeping our minds sharp and bodies healthy for longer? One departure is to treat aging as an illness. Thats right. A tribe of scientists, including Steven Austad, a biologist at the University of Alabama, says the key to drastically longer life lies in altering the processes that prevent our very molecules from growing old.

Scientific progress looks promising. Experts have already successfully applied an antifungal used during organ transplants to extend the lives of mice. Just think what that might mean for a human. Thats not all. A string of revolutionary health treatments on the horizon is poised to change how our bodies deal with aging. Heard of a pill that mimics the benefits of exercise? Or drugs that trick our internal clock into thinking its younger? How about nano-robots that find and destroy disease inside our bodies and cell reprogramming? The future of anti-aging medicine is mind-blowing. But dont rush to your doctors office just yet. Despite such theoretical advances, some experts believe our bodies have a built-in expiration date. Not to mention theres a host of issues preventing humans from living longer that must be tackled, starting with poverty, violence, pollution, climate change and traffic accidents.

Can you imagine what you would do if you could live your peak years your 20s and 30s, say over and over? Maybe we use the [extra] years to reimagine the trajectory of life, just like we did 100 years ago, when we invented childhood and retirement, Austad said in a TED Talk. John Davis, a philosophy professor at California State University, Fullerton, brings a similarly philosophical lens to the question. I think people get wiser as they get older, he tells OZY. Given time and life experience, people become more patient, more aware of what a wise choice and a foolish choice looks like, and less violent. So we might find that a society that lives longer is a better society.

Now for the bad news. Increased pressure on already overstretched global health care systems and an inadequate supply of jobs, food and housing are just some of the challenges we face if we were to live for as long as wed like. Longer, healthier lives translate to expanding populations worldwide, a change the planet might not be able to withstand. We are already facing the consequences of overpopulation, Davis says. Its called climate change. The solution there remains controversial and might require something more radical than eternal life.

Outside the lab, futurologists have been putting forth their own takes on life extension. But be warned: you would need deep pockets to access them. Ray Kurzweil, a resident futurist at Google a company currently investing in the study of aging claims that by 2029, medical advances could start adding an additional year, every year, to peoples life expectancy, at least to those who can afford it. Researcher Aubrey de Grey posits that by 2036, many people with access to the right therapies (e.g., working to make our molecules younger) could avoid aging-related diseases or maladies entirely. Is there a catch? Unfortunately, yes. To reach the 150-year-old mark, you might need to live in an environment free of stressors and a wad of cash to cover what will be costly treatments. Tempted by whats being offered by Libella Gene Therapeutics, which claims to reverse aging by up to 20 years? Be prepared to fork over a whopping $1 million.

The price tag may be shocking, and it points to another disturbing truth: Longevity is set to become the new standard-bearer of inequality. And its not strictly a rich-country-versus-poor-country distinction, or even race, which is a major determinant of life expectancy in the U.S. A study by Northwestern University in Illinois found that Americans with a higher net worth at midlife live longer than their poorer counterparts. Even among brothers and sisters, those with greater wealth tend to outlive their siblings. Thats even taking into account identical genetic profiles, meaning the only factor that separates them is money.

Unless, that is, you happen to live in one of the worlds blue zones: a select group of countries in which people have been living longer for reasons unrelated to their bank account. Take Nicoya, for example. Centenarians in this lush Costa Rican peninsula say their secret to a long life is robust social networks and strong family ties. On the other side of the world, Japans super-senior citizens claim that healthy diets and exercise have paved the way to a lengthy and happy existence. Even if Kane Tanaka, the worlds oldest person at 118, admits she loves chocolate and soda. Money, however, can play a role. Just look at Monaco, the uber-wealthy principality where residents live on average to nearly 90 years old.

Dont live in any of those places? Dont despair. Someday there may be another option for those who want to live a lot, lot longer: Upload your consciousness, Black Mirror style. While we are still far from transferring our minds onto a chip, Artificial Intelligence advances could make this sci-fi-sounding proposition a reality. Some people have already signed on to a program to freeze their brains and bodies in liquid nitrogen coffins to preserve the essential parts of their personalities. Cryonics preserves the body until science has progressed to a point where a person could be reanimated and cured of whatever diseases they suffered from. In 2016, a 14-year-old girl with a rare form of cancer won the right to be cryogenically frozen after she died, in the hopes shell be brought back to life once a cure for her disease is discovered.

Yeah, we all know this one. Harvard researchers have found that increasing the amount of red meat you consume may, in some cases, raise the risk of early death. Participants in the experiment who increased their meat consumption by just half a serving per day (around 1.7 ounces) over eight years had a 10% higher risk of dying over the subsequent eight-year period. The studys authors also claim a significant benefit to replacing a portion of your weekly meals with non-meat options. Its not just good for you, its good for the planet. But Jeralean Talley, who lived to 116, might prove the authors wrong. This American super senior told Time in 2013 that one of the secrets to her longevity is a pork-rich diet, especially pigs ears and feet.

Walking an extra 1,000 steps a day could increase your chances of living a long life, according to the American Heart Association. The benefits of incorporating walking into your daily routine were consistent across people who took one long stroll and those who opted for shorter bursts throughout the day. That included going shopping or walking to your car. Heading out for a walk should be a priority for everyone, especially now that remote work is forcing many to park their butts for long stretches. Each increase of 1,000 steps was linked to a 28% decrease in the risk of early death.

When American Loreen Dinwiddie died in 2012 at age 109, she was the worlds oldest vegan. She credited her diet for helping her reach that milestone and for giving her a pep in her step. Its well-known that eating greens keeps you healthy day to day, but it also helps you live longer. Consuming five servings of fruits and veg every day translates to a 13% lower risk of early death. But dont despair, some fun is also allowed. Misao Okawa, the oldest person on the planet before she passed away in 2015 at age 117, said the secret to her long life was simple: eating delicious things including sushi and noodles.

You keep me young isnt just a sweet phrase. A study by researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine in 2014 found that late motherhood can lead to a longer life for women who delivered their last child after 33. In fact, they are twice as likely to live to 95 than those who had their last kid by 29. Furthermore, the New England Centenarian Study, published in 2014, concluded that women who bore children after turning 40 were four times more likely than younger mothers to reach 100 years old. Theres a caveat, though: Just delaying pregnancy wont make you live longer; growing old depends on your genes too. Read more here.

What Does It Mean to Live Forever? - OZY

Until this week, Aubrey de Grey was best known as the longevity researcher who predicted the first human to live 1,000 years may already be alive. Now, de Grey stands accused of being a sexual predator.

Celine Halioua, who received research funding from de Greys SENS Research Foundation, set out her accusations in a blog post titled Aubrey de Grey is a sexual predator. Laura Deming, founder of life extension VC shop The Longevity Fund, set out separate allegations against de Grey in her own blog post.

Deming wrote: I had one bad experience with him when I was 17he told me in writing that he had an adventurous love life and that it had always felt quite jarring not to let conversations with me stray in that direction given that [he] could treat [me] as an equal on every other level. He sent this from his work email, and Id known him since I was 14.

At the time, Deming said she wrote it off as a mistake. However, in the past few months, in part through conversations with Celine Halioua, Deming has come to believe her experience is part of a serial pattern hes enacted with women over whom hes in a position of power.

The accusations made by Halioua center on a dinner at which she was sat next to de Grey by a SENS executive. I was told to keep him entertained; Aubrey funneled me alcohol and hit on me the entire night. He told me that I was a glorious woman and that as a glorious woman I had a responsibility to have sex with the SENS donors in attendance so they would give money to him, Halioua wrote.

Halioua left that dinner sobbing and said it has taken her years to shake the deep-seated belief that I only got to where I am due to older men wanting to have sex with me. In the post, Halioua accused an unnamed SENS executive of harassing her so severely that she eventually dropped out of my PhD to escape him. Halioua is now CEO of a biotech startup developing drugs to extend dog life span.

De Grey responded to the accusations in a Facebook post. The longevity researcher admitted he inadvisedly wrote the email discussed by Deming and unreservedly regrets having done so. In all other regards, de Grey denies the accusations, which he framed as a setup.

I'm putting it out there right now: if other accusers come forward with supporting evidence, I will step aside a great deal faster than Cuomo just did. But if they don't who's the real culprit here? Hint: in my ever-so-personal view, it's not Celine or Laura. The unequivocally clear conclusion that I draw from the above is that they have been set up, de Grey wrote.

De Grey believes people have deceived Deming and Halioua into the view that I have done many things that I have in fact not done. As to who would orchestrate such a deception and why, de Grey said: I have been vigorously advised to keep my counsel on that question for another day or two but, as they say, watch this space.

SENS has put de Grey on administrative leave. An independent investigation into the allegations, which SENS first learned of in late June, is now underway.

Melatonine market 2021 Global analysis, opportunities and forecast to 2027 | By Top Leading Vendors like Life Extension, Superior Supplement...

No stranger to social media, Nashville plastic surgeon Daniel Hatef, MD relies on the visual tool of Instagram to showcase his practice, communicate with prospective clients, and share some of those oft-secretive, celebrity-treatment shots that even the most dedicated of patients arent always so quick to post.

One thing hes not a fan of: Something he refers to as the on-the-table rhinoplasty before-and-aftersan increasingly popular post he thinks looks amazing on the operating room table but, within a year, looks operated on.

The main reason is that the nose changes over time with healing, shares Dr. Hatef, when pressed on why hes not a proponent of showcasing the storied nose job surgery in this fashion. Classic reductive techniques done in closed rhinoplasty lead to dramatic aesthetic changes on the operating room table, and they are notorious for changing for the worse over time.

While he says his opinion is not to disparage the closed approachbut the classic pinched tips and supratip deformities that we often see with this technique dont show up until six-to-12 months postoperatively, if not longerhe strongly stands by the fact that, in rhinoplasty, you cannot base the favorability of a result based on the immediate postoperative appearance.

The reason: These pictures are typically taken from the profile view, Dr. Hatef explains. While this is fine for social media, when patients are looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon, they should ask to see frontal views as well. Although a change in the profile is almost always desired, this is the easier view to change.

Plus, he explains, plastic surgeons will take the before picture on the operating room table after theyve injected local anesthesia and epinephrine, which isnt necessarily indicative when playing a part in the final result.

We do these injections for pain control and to minimize bleeding, but they can be used to make the nose look biggerand the after result much more dramatic in comparison, he says. I encourage surgeons to post their operative before-and-afters, and I do the same. Its a great way to see how a result changes over time, but they should be taken accurately and before any injection is done.

And patients should know these things so that they can be more discerning in their choices.

Eugene, OR plastic surgeon Mark Jewell, MD backs the above and gives the life extension of our iPhones an equally as bad review.

Its impossible to show accurate outcomes in the operating room from a rhinoplasty, even if theres a discernable change, he says. And a phone picture of a nose taken before-and-after is, in my opinion, poor quality, non-standardized imaging. Rhinoplasty results need at least six months to mature and for swelling to completely resolve.

One case where it may be suitable, says La Jolla, CA plastic surgeon Robert Singer, MD: If it helps ease some post-surgery fears. It may be worthwhile to show the patient what was achieved at surgery during the time they are anxious and have their splint on. It is not, however, an adequate representation of the final result as swelling diminishes.

Encino, CA plastic surgeon George Sanders, MD is also not a fan of any kind of aesthetic result being photographed on the operating table. It is not the final result that is seen after months have passed since surgery, he says. Scar tissue, skin shrinkage, settling of the tissues and resolution of swelling all affect the final result that the patient will have. Granted, it takes time to acquire those long-termbefore-and-after photos, but theseare a much better indicator of the final surgical result than what is seen in the operating room.

Patients should insist on long-term before-and-after photos if they are going to rely on these as an indicator of the surgeons skill.

While she is quick to point out she doesnt do much rhinoplasty work, Pasadena, CA plastic surgeon Lily Lee, MD also stresses the fact that she is not a fan of the showing your immediate post-op work trend.

It is not a great for any part of the body, as so much changes throughout the healing process.

Nevertheless, New York facial plastic surgeon Konstantin Vasyukevich, MD says evaluating before-and-after pictures is still the best way to assess the rhinoplasty results.

However, the importanceof the timing for the after photos can not be overstated, he stresses. Few people realize that our nose is not just a static feature of our face, but rather a very complex mechanical structure. Multiple forces act on the cartilages of the nose simultaneously pulling it in all different directions. When these forces are in equilibrium, the nose will maintain its shape. When the forces acting on the cartilages are out of balance the nose will start changing its shape: becoming longer or shorter or more upturned or deviating to the side.

The art of rhinoplasty is being able to surgically balance all the forces acting on the nose, so the long term result does not differ from the result seen at the end of surgery. Therefore, taking a photo of the nose on the operating table can be quite misleading. If rhinoplasty surgery was expertly performed the nose will look the same in the years to come, alternatively, the nose could potentially look completely different just a few short month down the road.
