November Issue of the International Resource Journal Now Online

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Oct. 22, 2013) - George Media Inc. is pleased to announce that the November issue of The International Resource Journal is now available online at http://www.internationalresourcejournal.com/E-MAG/2013/Nov/IRJ.php.

In this issue, we set out to untangle fact from the fiction in the controversial subject of fracking. An energy expert from the US guides us through the story of shale development in the US; explaining the technicalities, risks and benefits of hydraulic fracturing and dispelling the myths. The US is also in the Risk Spotlight this month as we analyse the temporary shutdown of its government.

Moving from a well-developed shale industry to one that's just beginning, we then get the perspective from London and the UK as the country's government steps up its efforts to attract oil & gas companies onshore. The Mayor of London's senior advisor explains why the UK needs shale development, even as it provokes mass public protests; the UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change also weighs in with his take on the opportunity. We examine just how and why the backlash against fracking has grown and spread worldwide.

Our columnists look at the growing opportunity in tin, while we consider the future of nuclear. A particularly wide range of alternative energy technologies are profiled, in addition to our monthly pick of enterprising resources explorers, developers, producers, suppliers and contractors from across the globe.
