VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSX: AOT; OTCQX: AOTVF) (Ascot or the Company) is pleased to announce additional assay results from exploration drill holes from the 2021 drill program at the Companys Premier Gold Project (PGP). This release summarizes assays from the first drill hole at the Day Zone near the Big Missouri deposit and the balance of drill results from near the Premier deposit. Importantly, the new drill hole at the Day Zone has expanded mineralization approximately 400 metres to the south.

Highlights from the drill results include:

4.13 g/t Au and 3.5 g/t Ag over 2.46m from 291m depth in hole P21-2331, including 7.73 g/t Au and 4.1 g/t Ag over 0.96m at the Day Zone

17.05 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag over 0.70m from 51m depth in hole P21-2323 in the area west of the Premier deposit

This release summarizes the results from ten surface drill holes west of the Premier deposit and one drill hole south of the Day Zone, for a total of 2,795m completed from four drill pads. As the winter season and snow accumulation has begun at site, drilling activities have wrapped up for the 2021 season. A total of 18,074 metres were drilled from surface. The 2021 drill program originally planned for 25,000 metres however permit delays restricted the start of underground drilling. Assay results for a total of 57 holes and 10,875 metres of drilling are still pending from the Woodbine target, the Day Zone, the Big Missouri deposit, and the Sebakwe target.

Derek White, President and CEO of Ascot commented, Since its initial discovery last year and through very modest amounts of additional drilling, the Day Zone has quickly evolved into one of our most prospective targets for potential resource growth near planned development. This is especially important for our strategy to increase mine life given the Day Zones proximity to the Big Missouri and Silver Coin deposits, which will be exploited in the early years of our mine plan. The 400-metre step-out hole to the south of the Day Zone highlights the size potential of this area, and we eagerly await assay results from an additional 7 holes drilled from the same pad. Assay results have taken much longer to process this year. We are looking forward to assays from both Big Missouri and Sebakwe, where visible gold was observed in drill core. As the Company continues to work with provincial permitting regulators, we look forward to getting final permits to progress development and underground drilling.

Day Zone Target

The Day Zone, initially discovered in 2020 (see News Releases dated September 14, 2020, November 19, 2020, and January 18, 2021), is located on the western side of the Big Missouri Ridge, approximately 5 kilometres north of the Premier mill. Given the high-grade intercepts encountered in this area and its proximity to Big Missouri the first deposit to be exploited in the Companys mine plan the Day Zone is one of the most compelling targets for resource growth and potential mine life extension. The Day Zone is located just 300m west of reserve stopes at Big Missouri, and mineralization remains open to the north and south.

The first assay results from the Day Zone drilling program in 2021 come from a 400m southern step-out hole. Hole P21-2331 intercepted 4.13 g/t Au and 3.5 g/t Ag over 2.46m starting at a depth of 291m. Gold mineralization was intercepted at four different elevations that roughly correspond to known elevations of mineralization elsewhere at Big Missouri. The new drill hole is exploring an area of sparse geological information very close to the planned development drift from the Big Missouri deposit to the Silver Coin deposit. Additional drill holes from the same pad have been completed in order to establish the orientation of mineralization in this area (see Figure 1). Assays from these holes are pending and will be reported as they become available. The 400m of strike extent between hole P21-2331 and the Day Zone drill holes reported last year will be investigated in order to establish continuity of mineralization. The mineralization at the Day Zone has now been intercepted over a combined strike length of 550m and remains open to the north and to the south.

Premier Deposit Drilling

Earlier in the 2021 drill season, Ascot started surface drilling at lower elevations in the area west of the Premier deposit and near the mill building (see News Releases dated July 8, 2021 and August 9, 2021). Following up on the previously reported 50 metre step-out hole to the west of the existing resource at Northern Light which intercepted 21.13 g/t Au over 7.0m in hole P21-2320, a further ten holes totaling 2,404m were drilled along the implied extension of that limb.

The new drill holes were completed in an area with no previous drilling, targeting the projected extension of the Northern Light Zone at Premier. One additional high-grade intercept was encountered in hole P21-2323 that intercepted 17.05 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag over 0.70m at the edge of a Tertiary dyke in the overlying Betty Creek formation.

Drill holes 2321, 2322, 2323 and 2324 intercepted sulfide mineralization in quartz breccia with highly anomalous gold values at roughly the expected depth without duplicating the spectacular results from drill hole 2320 a little further east. The next three drill holes did not return any significant results while drill holes 2328 and 2330 intercepted anomalous gold again. Both holes were drilled at a very steep dip and the results suggest that the mineralization may trend further to the north rather than the west as anticipated. This area of the deposit is concealed by younger volcanic cover and geological information is obtained exclusively from drill holes. Additional work in the future will be designed to establish the correct trace of the main trend of mineralization and its potential connection to the intercepts further west reported earlier in the year. The hydrothermal system appears to extend to the west of the established resource areas offering exciting potential for additional discoveries very close to the mine infrastructure.

GeroProtect Stem Cell, 60 vegetarian capsules – Life Extension

Posted: November 9, 2021 at 2:23 pm

Stem cells are invaluable to your continued health and vitality. This is because stem cells can transform into other kinds of cells when your body needs them, a process called differentiation. Stem cells can also create more copies of themselves, which is called self-renewal. Both of these properties are essential to tissue rejuvenation.

A healthy balance between these two actions promotes healthy tissue maintenance, growth, and longevity. But aging can cause stem cells to no longer function optimallyoften losing the ability to self-renew, or differentiate into other cells, or both.1 Weve created GEROPROTECT Stem Cell to help maintain youthful, healthy stem cell function.

Nutrients to encourage balanced stem cell health

GEROPROTECT Stem Cell promotes youthful, healthy stem cell function and encourages balanced stem cell differentiation and self-renewal. It does so with nutrients that promote the cellular pathways that help maintain youthful stem cell behavior: a healthy, functional protein pool, DNA health, AMPK signaling, and more.

These compounds were identified in partnership with Insilico Medicine, Inc., a machine learning company whose proprietary algorithm is based on 21st Century artificial intelligence computing techniques.

Presveratrol proprietary blend

Preservatrol is a proprietary blend of resveratrol and piceatannol, an extract of passion fruit. In vivo and in vitro studies indicate that piceatannol promotes stem cell differentiation as well as proteostasisthe quality control network that helps ensure the integrity of proteins within our cells.2-4

Resveratrol is a phytonutrient with well-known benefits for longevity and health. In vivo and in vitro studies indicate that resveratrol has beneficial effects on stem cell health.6,7 Additionally, the combination of resveratrol and piceatannol promotes DNA health as well as encourages the bodys natural pathways for managing senescent stem cells.8

Livinol kokum extract (garcinol)

Garcinol is a compound derived from the kokum (garcinia indica) fruit. In vitro studies indicate that garcinol helps to positively regulate healthy stem cell self-renewal and differentiation.9-11 Garcinol inhibits an enzyme called histone acetyltransferase, or HAT. This enzyme is part of a process called histone acetylationone of the main causes of stem cell aging and loss of function. By inhibiting this enzyme, garcinol helps restore youthful stem cell function and longevity.

Combining cell support

GEROPROTECT Stem Cell can be taken by itself, with our other GEROPROTECT products or paired with our innovative Senolytic Activator formula for enhanced youthful cellular health support.

Cryonics Clinics: Where People Sleep and Wake Up in the Future – Interesting Engineering

Posted: at 2:23 pm

Cryogenically frozen dead people are held preserved in a clinic at Scottsdale, Arizona in the hope that maybe someday science would be advanced enough to bring them back to life. This unique cryonics clinic is run by Alcor Life Extension Foundation, and surprisingly, many people, including some famous personalities like PayPal co-founder Peter Theil, are actually spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to have their bodies preserved here after death.

The idea of waking up in the future sounds like a great plot for a sci-fi movie or a novel but through cryonics, organizations like Alcor are trying to do the same in reality. Max Moore, a futurist and the former CEO of Alcor,believes that people can be rescued from death. Our view is that when we call someone dead it's a bit of an arbitrary line. In fact they are in need of a rescue, he said in an interview. Whats perhaps more surprising is that Alcor is not the only cryonics clinic preserving dead bodies for revival in the future.

Cryonics isthelow-temperature preservation ofa newly-dead body or the severed head of an individual. To compare, freezing a dead body is called cryonics, the science of super-low temperatures is called cryogenics. In cryonics, the body is stored at temperatures below 130 degrees Celsius in the hope thatsome advanced technology or nanotechnology would be able to resurrect the person in the future. To protect the body parts from any damage during the freezing and storage, cryonics practitioners use cryo-protectants and cryo-preservation, which can be considered similar techniques to those used to keep the body organs of an organ donor from decaying after their death.

For those who have signed up for cryonics, an emergency cryonics response team takes control of the body after they are declared medically dead. Within hours of death, they pack the body in ice andensure that oxygen and blood supply to the brain. The team injects heparin into the body so that your blood does not coagulate while they transport it to a cryonics facility from the place of death.

At the cryonics facility, the body is put on a machine that circulates the blood and maintains oxygenation, similar to a heart-lung bypass machine. A vitrification solution is pumped in. This is a cryo-protectant and it works like antifreeze to keep the bodys tissues from turning to ice crystals during freezing. This is needed because, when your body is frozen, the ice crystals can rupture cells and cause damage to tissues and organs.

The body is then slowly cooled to around -320 (-195C) using a liquid nitrogen vapor chamber; once its cold enough, the body is transferred to a tank of liquid nitrogen where it will bestored at around -320.8 (-196C) in an inverted position. The aim here is to prevent any damage from occurring in the brain even if there is a leak. During the time the body is stored in liquid nitrogen containers, cryonicists argue that the cells are believed to remain in a dormant state.

Though famous personalities like Paris Hilton, Peter Thiel, Steve Aoki, Robert Miller, and many others are reported to look forward to having their bodies cryopreserved, it is a controversial topic among the scientific community. People who advocate cryonics consider the technique a way to overcome death, but on the other side, there are scientists who claim that cryonics is nothing but a pseudoscience, giving people false hope in the name of technology.

According to Max Moore, Alcor is not a hope monger. Scientific evidence was no more a prerequisite than hope for believing in an afterlife. For members ... that's enough to pay for, said Moore to NBC News.

Dennis Kowalski, president of the Cryogenics Institute in Michigan, believes that cryonics may sound like sci-fi but it is ultimately an optimistic technology. In favor of cryonics, he says, you have nothing to lose, everything to gain other than some life insurance money, and for me, it's worth it. Kowalski himself,his wife, and his children have also enrolled to undergo cryopreservation after their deaths.

The different points of view that researchers and cryopreservation experts have for cryonics can perhaps be understood through examining a court case that emerged in the UK.

In November 2016, a 14-year UK girl referred to as JS passed away due to a rare form of cancer. Before dying, she left a note saying that her last wish is to have her body cryopreserved so that in the future she might be revived. The note read, in part,I dont want to be buried underground. I want to live and live longer and I think that in the future they might find a cure for my cancer and wake me up. I want to have this chance. This is my wish.

The mother of JS wanted to fulfill her daughters last wish, but her estranged father opposed it. Eventually, JS's last wish led not only to a legal dispute between her parents, but also divided the scientific community in the UK as to the speculative nature of cryonics.

Responding to the case, cryobiologist Ramon Risco told The Guardian that while cryonics is currently an unbelievable concept, just like "test-tube babies" or space travel once was, it should not be considered an impossibility. He believesthat in five to 10 years experts will likely have progressed enough to revive small mammals after preservations in liquid nitrogen. It is very risky to say that anything is impossible in science or technology in the 21st century people who use the word impossible are very brave, he said. If you are looking for the truth, why would you put barriers up?

Risco also argued that many scientists are against cryonics because supporting this idea could endanger their careers. He said, There is an enormous stigma bias to the conversation about cryonics among scientists. For scientists who would like to discuss it open-mindedly, it tends to significantly hurt their career in fact, can potentially even get them kicked out of their scientific societies.

Clive Coen, a leading neuroscience professor from Kings College, London was one of those who opposed the high courts decision to allow the cryopreservation of JS. Professor Coen argued, ethically its very complicated. The trade-off is that she got the comfort, but others may now be duped." He even demanded a complete ban on cryonics marketing.

Renowned cosmologist Martin Rees also raised concerns on the practicality and ethical issues pertaining to cryonics. He suggested that cryonics enthusiasts cannot be believed, because the claims made by them are ridiculous. Even many supporters and cryonics experts also admitthat there is a chance some companies might take advantage of peoples vulnerability in the name of cryopreservation.

For now, there is no scientific evidence that completely approves or explains the possibility of a new life in the future through cryonics. As far as legal issues are concerned, U.S. law does not treat cryopreservation and organ donation as two different things. As per the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA), practices like cryonics are similar to a scientific experiment, for which people willingly donate their bodies and organs.

This also implies that organizations such as the Alcor Life Extension Foundation and the Cryonics Institute cannot be held responsible if they are unable to revive clients in the future after undergoing cryopreservation.

Instead of being buried or cremated after death, thousands of peoplefrom different parts of the globe have signed up for cryopreservation. However, this is not the only surprising fact related to cryonics.

On January 12, 1967, American psychologist Dr. James Bedford underwent cryopreservation soon after his death. He was the first personin the world who decided to do so, and his frozen body is still resting at Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Arizona.

Anyone can cryopreserve their entire body at Alcor for $200,000, or just the head for $80,000. Surprisingly, the Cryonics Institute only charges $28,000 to cryopreserve a human body. When asked about this huge price gap, a representative from Alcor revealed that a major part of their fee is spent to support their patient care trust fund which funds the maintenance of the facilities until such time as revival is possible.

American baseball player Ted Williams was also cryopreserved at Alcor. The idea of cryonics has been quite popular among celebrities; for example, DJ Steve Aoki has not only signed up for cryonics but also endorsed Alcor.

The number of bodies stored at Alcor has grown at a rate of around 8% a year. The oldest stored body is a 101 years old woman and the youngest is just 2. One in four of Alcor's customers live in theSan Francisco Bay Area.

KrioRus, a cryonics company in Russia also allows its clients to cryopreserve their pets. Recently, the founder of Krio Rus, Danila Medvedev, accused her ex-wife Valeria Udalova of raiding the companys cryonic storage facility and stealing liquid nitrogen containers containing frozen dead bodies.

Cryonics has been a controversial subject. There is a possibility that, except for the frozen dead bodies, no one might ever be able to witness their revival, or perhaps, they may never come back to life.

Where is Tom from MySpace now?… – The Sun

Posted: at 2:23 pm

ONCE upon a time before Instagram and Facebook took over the world, there was MySpace.

And the first friend users ever had was its founder Tom Anderson.

1

Tom Anderson, who was known as "Tom from MySpace", "MySpace Tom" or "My friend, Tom", retired at 40 and is now a travel photographer.

He posts on social media under themyspacetom, and his Instagram bio reads: "Former 1st friend, Surfing, travel/photos, architecture-design, DogDad, SpaceX & CRISPR Investr, Life Extension."

The photographer, 50, who now lives in Hawaii, obviously travels extensively as he posts numerous pictures on his Twitter and Instagram profiles.

Often they are taken from exotic destinations such as Thailand, Bhutan and the Maldives

As of November 2021, he has an impressive 647,000 fans admiring his impressive photography.

According to Influencive in 2017, Tom said about his new work: "My passion for photography is what keeps me traveling.

"I have multiple homes in multiple cities, but Im not satisfied just staying where Im comfortable. I want to keep creating.

I wasnt taking photography all that seriously, I just wanted to document a wild scene.

"But when I loaded the photos on to my computer, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to capture more scenes around the world.

After retiring in 2009, he started building and designing houses.

Anderson collaborated with Chris DeWolfe on MySpace in 2003.

Now 55, DeWolfe quit being the CEO of MySpace in 2009.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS REGARDING PRESENTATION OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

As a British Columbia corporation and a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws, we are required to provide disclosure regarding our mineral properties in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. In accordance with NI 43-101, we use the terms mineral reserves and resources as they are defined in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on mineral reserves and resources (the CIM Definition Standards) adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. In particular, the terms mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve, probable mineral reserve, mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource used in this news release and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with CIM Definition Standards. These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained in this news release and the documents incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.

United States investors are also cautioned that while the SEC will now recognize measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that we report are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, inferred resources have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.

NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101 COMPLIANCE

Unless otherwise indicated, Capstone has prepared the technical information in this news release (Technical Information) based on information contained in the technical reports, Annual Information Form and news releases (collectively the Disclosure Documents) available under Capstone Mining Corp.s company profile on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com. Each Disclosure Document was prepared by or under the supervision of a qualified person (a Qualified Person) as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators (NI 43-101). Readers are encouraged to review the full text of the Disclosure Documents which qualifies the Technical Information. Readers are advised that Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Disclosure Documents are each intended to be read as a whole, and sections should not be read or relied upon out of context. The Technical Information is subject to the assumptions and qualifications contained in the Disclosure Documents.

Disclosure Documents include the National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical reports titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Cozamin Mine, Zacatecas, Mexico" effective October 23, 2020, Pinto Valley Mine Life Extension Phase 3 (PV3) Pre-Feasibility Study effective January 1, 2016 and Santo Domingo Project, Region III, Chile, NI 43-101 Technical Report effective February 19, 2020.

Many companies across the West of England are recruiting record numbers of staff as the region continues to recover from the pandemic.

Large corporates such as professional services firm Grant Thornton and defence giant Babcock are among the businesses taking on apprentices and graduates in large numbers.

Many of the West Countrys businesses remain upbeat about their prospects and are looking to employ more people despite concerns about the national economy.

Old Mill has also welcomed Mia Caines as a trainee accountant; Miles Beczkowski and Andrea Bowden as qualified accountants; Sarah Worrell as client manager; and Stephanie Lipton, a bookkeeper.

Another new joiner is Matt Jeffery, whose previous role was as manager within the financial services audit practice at PwC.

Engineering and defence giant Babcock International has welcomed more than 200 new apprentices and graduates to its Devonport operations.

The aerospace, defence and security company said the 138 apprentices and 78 graduates will support a variety of projects and business areas, from life extension programmes on frigates and submarines, to advanced manufacturing happening at the vast site in Plymouth.

The apprentice roles are varied, from welders, fabricators and pipe workers, to electrical fitters, mechanical fitters and computer numerical control (CNC) machinists, while the graduates are involved in a wide range of roles within the business including: mechanical, electrical, process and civil engineers, naval architects and project managers.

Paul Foster, Babcocks managing director for Devonport operations, said: Our apprentices and graduates have a really important role in shaping our future here and I extend a very warm welcome to all of our new recruits.

The firm has employed its highest number of school leavers and graduates, just a year on from becoming an accredited apprenticeship provider. The intake of 57 new apprentices (45 university graduates and 12 school leavers) is a 25% increase on last year, with the firm now employing over 430 people.

The apprentices will work across the firms seven offices in Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Truro and Worcester.

Anna Averis, people director for Bishop Fleming, said: After the disruption of Covid-19, it is brilliant that we have been able to welcome [the new starters] all in our offices.

A record number of new starters have joined Grant Thornton UKs South West business, with 26 school leavers and graduate trainees on a path to becoming part of audit and tax practices.

The firm, which operates from bases at Glass Wharf in Bristol and Callaghan Square in Cardiff, will work with the new cohort to develop their professional skills.

Jonathan Riley, practice leader for Grant Thornton in the South West and Cardiff, said: Its a pleasure to welcome the class of 2021-22 aboard.

As a firm, we strive to attract the best and brightest talent, young people who will shape the future of our business and deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients.

The audit, tax and consulting firm has recruited a record number of trainees, with the majority joining the firm this summer.

RSM hired 34 new recruits in Bristol, including 27 graduates and three school leavers a 100% increase on last years total trainee intake. Nationally the firm has taken on almost 600 new recruits, including 429 graduates and 103 school leavers up 50% on 2020.

The company said the drive to recruit was part of a strategic intention to strengthen the firm from within its own ranks and over the long term. The trainees are spread across the audit, corporate finance, risk, restructuring advisory, financial reporting and IT teams.

Kate Reid, office managing partner for RSM Bristol, said: The jobs market is extremely competitive for young people, and this has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. I am glad we are able to offer a first step on the career ladder to so many bright, intelligent and hardworking individuals at what is an exceptionally challenging time.

Bristol law firm Barcan+Kirby has appointed four trainee solicitors.

Amy Reeves, Alicia Perry-Watts, Hevy Khalil and Stephen Biggs have now all started their training contracts with the firm.

The trainee solicitors will shadow senior solicitors with a variety of specialisms and turn their hands to a wide array of legal tasks. They will also move between the firms six offices and develop their client-handling skills through exposure to the firms client base.

Barcan + Kirby said it had a record number of applications for the training contracts this year, due an overhaul of the recruitment process. Next year, it will host a trainee event in person for prospective trainees.

Bill Willcocks, managing partner at Barcan+Kirby, said: Congratulations to Alicia, Hevy, Stephen and Amy on their appointments as trainee solicitors. Our training programme provides them with a strong foundation on which to build a career in the legal profession.

Staying Alive: Extending The Life Of A DCO – Energy and Natural Resources – UK – Mondaq News Alerts

Posted: at 2:22 pm

09 November 2021

Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP

The regime for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects(NSIPs) allows for Development Consent Orders (DCOs) to be grantedfor a set period of time (often 5 years), but only recently has itbecome clear that time limits can be extended to keep DCOsalive.

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy(BEIS) recently (16 September 2021) granted a non-material change to extend thetimescale for implementation of a DCO for a period of 5 years for aproposed gas-fired power station. This is the first time such asignificant extension has been granted and in this blog we explorehow it was pursued.

The applicant, C.GEN, secured a DCO in 2014 for a gas-firedpower station in North Killingholme, which had an original lifespanof 7 years. Due to a variety of commercial factors in theintervening years, implementation of the consent was ultimately notpossible within the original 7 year time frame. However, there wasa keenness to preserve the consent and deliver the project giventhe role of gas-fired power stations in the future national energygeneration mix (as recognised in the 2020 Energy White Paper), to complement themove to renewables and support the targets for net zero and 40GWoffshore wind capacity by 2030.

As a result, an application for a non-material change wassubmitted to BEIS in August 2020 to extend the time forimplementation of this DCO, with BCLP advising C.Gen since2018.

There are two types of change that may be made to a DCO - theseare non-material or material. Separate procedures are prescribed inlegislation1 and in non-statutory Government Guidance for handling each type ofapplication.

The C.GEN application was for a non-material change and requiredconsideration of the interplay between the proposed changes and theEnvironmental Statement, the Habitats Regulations Assessments,compulsory acquisition powers, and the effects on businesses andresidents. The Guidance also sets out the various steps which needto be taken and procedure to be followed and is a useful startingpoint for applicants considering post-grant changes.

The alternative mechanism, where material changes are sought,involves a more costly and detailed process (potentially includingan 'examination' akin to a public inquiry). Thereis no legal definition of a material and non-material change socareful consideration is necessary as to which approach isappropriate in each case, and an awareness of the risk and costprofiles which vary depending on which route is pursued.

In both cases an application must be prepared setting out thechanges, and even the non-material process can require anenvironmental report, as well as high quality consultation andcomprehensive engagement. In either case, the application must besupported by a draft Statutory Instrument, compliant with thesalient rules and regulations, as it is creating 'newlaw'.

In light of the time since the original DCO grant in this case,the applicant wanted to ensure that the scheme complies with thelatest position on carbon capture, and this was reflected in theapplication. The decision by BEIS to extend the DCO also includedprovisions to incorporate current carbon capture technologies thatenable either the pre-combustion removal of carbon dioxide (IGCCmode), or post-combustion capture (CCGT mode) within theproject

Applications to change DCOs can take some time both tocorral the necessary information for the application, carry outengagement, and also to allow time for the decision-making process(where, in the case of non-material change applications, there isno statutory timescale). In this case the application was made inAugust 2020 and a decision was made in September 2021.

The only other DCO extension we are aware of was for a 12 monthextension and was granted in July 2020, during the height of theCovid-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns. That application wasmade at a time when planning rules were temporarily relaxed toallow extensions to conventional TCPA consents (which are usuallyprohibited) but DCO projects had to follow the pre-existing routepursuant to Schedule 6 of the 2008 Planning Act, and seek anon-material or material change in order to secure a similarextension. That application for a 12-month extension was basedfirmly and solely on the extraordinary circumstances produced bythe pandemic in 2020, and hence was for a relatively shortperiod.

The C.GEN North Killingholme project DCO extension is the firsttime that an extension has been sought for a substantial period oftime in this case 5 years which is of coursereflective of the standard timescale for an entirely new DCO.
