FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES, Largest Sushi Restaurant Operator in Japan, Announces Partnership with BlueNalu, U.S. Cell-Cultured Seafood Leader
BlueNalu seafood identified as a critical supply chain solution for globally leading foodservice buyer of bluefin tuna
SAN DIEGO, Calif., January 25th, 2022 / Osaka, Japan, January 26th, 2022 -- BlueNalu, a leading innovative food company developing a variety of seafood products directly from fish cells, announced today a collaboration with leading, multinational sushi restaurant operator, FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES Ltd. (TYO: 3563). As a Japanese foodservice leader, FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES (F&LC) operates brands such as Sushiro and Kyotaru and over 1,000 restaurants across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Mainland China.
The agreement focuses on developing a supply-chain solution for bluefin tuna and other sushi-grade products for the multinational sushi restaurant operator in the Asia-Pacific region, where seafood consumption is highest. The companies plan to collaborate on product development and marketing as well as support of a regulatory framework to accelerate BlueNalu’s commercialization in Japan.
BlueNalu and F&LC will focus on the belly portion of bluefin tuna, called toro, as an initial commercial product. Bluefin tuna is a prized species in Japan, where an estimated 80% of the global supply is consumed, and commands premium pricing for its delicious flavor and unique sensory characteristics.
“FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES is a global leader in the sushi restaurant business, and BlueNalu is thrilled to partner with their team to continue the innovative legacy of their iconic brands,” said Lou Cooperhouse, president & CEO of BlueNalu. “Cell-cultured seafood is a supply-chain solution that will have the taste, texture and nutrition that consumers expect, and will not be susceptible to environmental contaminants like mercury and microplastics. By centering our initial efforts on the high-quality toro portion of bluefin tuna, we aim to demonstrate culinary excellence with the most prized portion of the most sought-after fish in the most iconic marketplace for seafood.”
“With the uncertainty of natural marine resources in the future, it is important that we secure a stable supply of seafood in a more sustainable manner,” said Koichi Mizutome, president and CEO of FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES. “We have already been promoting the use of farmed seafood as one of the ways to achieve this, but as seafood demand increases in the future, there will be increasing challenges with our global supply chain. Therefore, we are eager to incorporate BlueNalu’s cell-cultured seafood as we believe it is one of the most promising methods to help solve these issues. We look forward to the progress of this collaboration, and to the future when BlueNalu products can be used as sustainable, delicious, healthy, and reliable seafood on our men
"Toxic 'forever chemicals' found in British otters
1 hour ago
Toxic "forever chemicals" used in non-stick saucepans and food packaging have been found in otters across England and Wales, according to a study.
The substances, called PFASs, are also used in waterproof clothing, stain resistant products and fire ******ants.
The chemicals are linked to pregnancy complications, liver disease, cancer and other illnesses.
Scientists say concentrations of these compounds in otters are a guide to levels of pollution in the environment..."

3. Created Eurasia Mining Japan to explore serious interest from Asian Investors. 2 new Directors, Tamerlan Abdikeev and Kotaro Kosaka, both with connections to government and multinational firms.
4. Upgraded West Kytlim to 3 washplants, electric draglines to be installed also.
5. Signed a binding agreement with EDRC (Russian Development Agency) which gives significant benefits in reduced tax, land rights and assistance on projects.
6. Announced a JV with H2 Transition Capital (ex Shell management) to commence Hydrogen production at 2 locations in Russia, Kola and Sakhalin.
Going Forward:
One presumes that the Due Diligence being carried out by a credible party is going to be amongst the most detailed due diligence carried out, and that this process has been delayed by the pandemic. Whether potential buyers are seeking the state support, the extra metals, or the chance to be part of the hydrogen economy is a matter of debate, but it cannot hurt the options available to the Board of Eurasia.
Looking forward to 2022, you would expect positions to be cemented, a deal to be done and progress made on all the outstanding issues as we see them today, each being a catalyst to much higher market cap. The wider outlook for PGM seems stable, the chip shortage will ease at some point and palladium demand increase for medium term according to most analysts before settling later in the decade.
Eurasia Mining was initially a PGM play. But it is so much more now. Serious quantities of Nickel are being proven up to JORC standards by Wardell, must be regarded as the latest icing on a cake which is already laden with the stuff.
But perhaps bigger than all of this is to think of Eurasia Mining as the best conduit for Russian projects moving forwards. Fully funded for future endeavours for minimal dilution. Connected at the highest levels of state, partnered with hugely credible people and companies. Even the green lobby has been catered for with the Hydrogen initiative.
urasia Mining : The Great Transformation
The Top 20:
Writing a top 20 stocks for the new year is always a challenge, although even as things stand three weeks in, things are looking positive. The FTSE 100 near post pandemic highs is a help, but ironically the big bad wolf of inflation is and may continue to be a positive driver. We have seen this as far as the oilers are concerned, and of course in the metals space. Tin and Nickel are soaring, with the former helping AfriTin (ATM), and the latter likely to help the top stock in the 2022 countdown, Eurasia Mining. While it may be the case that the EUA maniacs are just focused on M&A, the emphasis in my coverage of the company is to focus on the here and now of what it has under the bonnet. As stated previously, while the doubters of the PGM play have focused on sale delay and what they allege the company is actually sitting on in terms of assets, the past 18 months have seen the company stuff itself full of significant and highly valuable resources.
Land Grab:
Indeed, last week underlined the companies ongoing land grab in Russia, something that even the most significant of oligarchs would delight in. A “company making” discovery was revealed in the form of a Tier-1 scale JORC mineral resource estimate produced by Wardell Armstrong International. NKT, a nickel mine formerly operated by Norilsk Nickel, is certainly nothing to be sniffed at, and for the cynics please note the letters JORC. JORC is the gold standard in mining. It is there, it is real and it is a transformational Tier 1 asset, thank you very much. It is almost certainly the case that if EUA was not in a M&A waiting game the shares would have rallied far more sharply than they did, and would still be rising. We know that Nickel is a pillar of the EV and new energy space, and this is the kind of discovery Elon Musk’s Tesla would be licking its lips regarding. Mr Musk has stated that Nickel supply is the biggest concern for the roll out of EV’s. EUA’s Nickel would certainly come in handy.
2021 Achievement:
But getting back to what has been achieved by this near £800m market cap company we should note the following over the past year. This should underline that EUA has not only made the very difficult transition from being a minnow to a mid-tier company in the sector, it has also built the foundation to be up there with the largest players:
1. Joint Venture with Rosgeo, Russian State exploration company, 9 assets comprising 104.6Moz Platinum Equivalent, placing Eurasia among PGM majors
a. First area known as Nyud, East/South East of Monchetundra
b. 8 other areas to be confirmed, thought to include Poaz a highly significant PGM & Nickel area
2. Appointed Wardell Armstrong International to compile reports, including
a. JORC report on Nyud, part of the Rosgeo JV
b. JORC report on NKT, part of the Monchetundra Flanks, showing $1.2-$1.7bn NPV
3. Created Eurasia Mining Japan to explore serious interest fro

nstead, it requires Pentagon contractors to stop using Chinese rare earths within four years, allowing waivers only in rare situations. Defense contractors would be required to immediately say where they source the minerals.
Those requirements "should encourage more domestic (rare earths) development in our country," Cotton said.
The Pentagon has in the past two years given grants to companies trying to resume U.S. rare earth processing and magnet production, including MP Materials Corp (MP.N), Australia's Lynas Rare Earth Ltd (LYC.AX), TDA Magnetics Inc and Urban Mining Co.
Kelly, a former astronaut and a member of the Senate's Armed Services and Energy committees, said the bill should "strengthen America's position as a global leader in technology by reducing our country's reliance on adversaries like China for rare earth elements."
The bill only applies to weapons, not other equipment the U.S. military purchases.
Additionally, the U.S. trade representative would be required to investigate whether China is distorting the rare earths market and recommend whether trade sanctions are needed.
When asked if such a step could be seen as antagonistic by Beijing, Cotton said: "I don't think the answer to Chinese aggression or Chinese threats is to continue to subject ourselves to Chinese threats."
Exclusive: U.S. bill would block defense contractors from using Chinese rare earths
By Ernest Scheyder
Jan 14 (Reuters) - A bipartisan piece of legislation to be introduced in the U.S. Senate on Friday would force defense contractors to stop buying rare earths from China by 2026 and use the Pentagon to create a permanent stockpile of the strategic minerals.
The bill, sponsored by Senators Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, and Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, is the latest in a string of U.S. legislation seeking to thwart China's near control over the sector.
It essentially uses the Pentagon's purchase of billions of dollars worth of fighter jets, missiles and other weapons as leverage to require contractors to stop relying on China and, by extension, support the revival of U.S. rare earths production.
Rare earths are a group of 17 metals that, after processing, are used to make magnets found in electric vehicles, weaponry and electronics. While the United States created the industry in World War Two and U.S. military scientists developed the most widely-used type of rare earth magnet, China has slowly grown to control the entire sector the past 30 years.
The United States has only one rare earths mine and has no capability to process rare earth minerals.
"Ending American dependence on China for rare earths extraction and processing is critical to building up the U.S. defense and technology sectors," Cotton told Reuters.
The senator, who sits on the Senate's Armed Forces and Intelligence committees, described China's evolution into the global rare earths leader as "simply a policy choice that the United States made," adding that he hoped fresh policies would loosen Beijing's grip.
Known as the Restoring Essential Energy and Security Holdings Onshore for Rare Earths Act of 2022, the bill would codify and make permanent the Pentagon's ongoing stockpiling of the materials. China temporarily blocked rare earth exports to Japan in 2010 and has issued vague threats it could do the same to the United States.
To build that reserve, though, the Pentagon buys supply in part from China, a paradox that Senate staffers hope will abate in time.
The rare earths production process can be highly pollutive, part of the reason why it grew unpopular in the United States. Ongoing research is attempting to make the process cleaner.
Cotton said he has talked to various U.S. executive agencies about the bill, but declined to say if he had talked with President Joe Biden or the White House.
"This is an area in which Congress will lead, because many members have been concerned about this very topic, regardless of party," he said.
ENCOURAGE DOMESTIC OUTPUT
The bill, which the sponsors expect could be folded into Pentagon funding legislation later this year, offers no direct support for the nascent U.S. rare earths sector.
Instead, it requires Pentagon contractors to stop using Chinese rare earths within four years, allowing

......is anyone really surprised?
meanwhile.......back in the real world.....
The Lord Speaker has today emailed colleagues to warn them of the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to spy on Parliament, with security services naming Christine Lee as a suspected saboteur. Lord McFall informs Lords that Lee has been engaging in “political interference activities” on behalf of the CCP. One sentence of the warning in particular has raised eyebrows:
“I should highlight the fact that Lee has facilitated financial donations to serving and aspiring Parliamentarians on behalf of foreign nationals based in Hong Kong and China. This facilitation was done covertly to mask the origins of the payments. This is clearly unacceptable behaviour and steps are being taken to ensure it ceases.”
