Published on 29 Jun 2016
Robert McAllister, chief executive at Enertopia (CNSX:TOP, OTCBB:ENRT) talks to Proactive Investors about the group's deal with a leading North American brine water recovery for lithium recovery.

"We've been looking at how we can recover lithium in the most economically and environmentally-sensitive way to make sure we're on site for a better environment and also to make money for our shareholders. So we decided that brine, from all our research, was the cheapest way to extract lithium and improving on that we've looked at technology around the world for water processing. Our clean energy partners of the last several years then steered us in the direction of this company," he explains.

McAllister says he is "very excited" by the first analysis numbers for lithium recovery from brine.

#UK - Brexit family divide: BBC News

Published on 29 Jun 2016
The Hannons are just one of many families in the UK dealing with the fallout from the EU referendum. They are seven people divided by the outcome they backed last week. Connor, 20, is the middle child of five and like most of his siblings he wanted to remain. But his parents Anne and Mike disagreed and the debate goes on.
According to YouGov data, 75% of young people aged 18-24 voted to remain, but only 39% of those over 65 did the same. We joined the Hannons in their home in Salford to find out why their age seems to divide them.

#Ukraine - Opera Singer Shot Dead in Donbas: Vasyl Slipak quit French opera to fight for Ukraine: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on 29 Jun 2016
Famous Ukrainian opera singer Vasyl Slipak died in the eastern Ukraine. Local media report Slipak was killed on June 29th in a warzone, shot by a sniper using a full-bore rifle near the village of Luhanske at about 6 am.

He returned back in Ukraine two years ago. Having live in France for nearly two decades, Slipak became at first the voice of Ukrainian local Maidan in Paris. 2,500 km from home, he sang the national anthem of Ukraine symbolizing the unbreakable spirit of his compatriots and trying to show his homeland is suffering from invasion.

This is already a charitable concert, Slipak performing in a T-shirt with a trident and a specific Ukrainian patriot's haircut. The money he gets for singing opera artist gives to the children of the killed soldiers and finances the army.

In 2015 Vasyl Slipak told in the interview he has no moral right to remain in France, since Ukraine has to struggle with outer enemies. Before departing to the frontline he was awarded with a medal.

Vasyl Slipak was shot close to the occupied town of Debaltseve, while the Russian-backed separatist forces started advancing using the heavy weapon and mortars. The blood brothers of Vasyl' Slipak say his songs about courageous warriors have become his final prophecy
