On Stockhead today, Nearology is a term used in the resource space when an explorer holds ground near a huge, “company-making mineral discovery.”

Vitalogy is Pearl Jam’s 3rd studio album.

It literally means “the study of life“, and came from an early 20th-century medical book that Eddie Vedder found at a garage sale.

Both are relevant when Emma Davies begins her 2-part autumnal Near-a-tological series on Tesla’s four heaving EV factories in the United States and the 14 companies fumbling about nearby with lithium projects all in various states of festering potential.

But first, hope the bunny was kind, and let’s take a look at the day ahead.
