Crimson Tide PLC

("Crimson Tide" or the 'Company')

Crimson Tide signs long term contract with National Centre for Hereditary Coagulation Disorders (NCHCD)

 

Crimson Tide ﴾TIDE﴿, the AIM‐quoted provider of mpro5 ‐ Smart Mobility as a Service, has entered into a contract with the NCHCD in Ireland, whereby mpro5 will deliver its healthcare solution to patients in the management of treatment for hereditary coagulation disorders, commonly known as haemophilia.

 

The contract value is worth approximately €140,000 in  revenue over a term of 36 months, which includes delivery of the mpro5 mobility solution directly to patients.  This is the first contract Crimson Tide has signed directly with the NCHCD as previously its solutions were delivered via a third party.

 

Patients at home use mpro5 to scan medication they receive from the hospital.  The barcode information is then sent to a central hub for verification of type and date ranges.  Confirmation is then returned to the patient, informing them of the medication validity and safe administration.

 

New functionality now improves this process, – including verification of stock levels and expiry date prompts, thereby providing further information to the patient and assisting in reducing stock wastage.

 

Barrie Whipp, Executive Chairman of Crimson Tide, said: "We are delighted to be able to work directly with the NCHCD in providing patients with hereditary coagulation disorders a solution to manage their use of prescribed pharmaceutical products.  This empowers patients to manage their condition and provides the NCHCD with valuable real time information."

http://www.powerhouseenergy.net/IRM/content/default.aspx#prettyPhoto[iframes]/0/

By using the company's technologies waste material can be turned into cheap synthetic gas which is then consumed by boilers to operate steam turbines to produce electricity. This means zero waste going into landfill and virtually no greenhouse gas emissions.

Keith Allaun, Executive Chairman of PowerHouse Energy commented: "The recent completion of testing of our G3-UHt unit has been a significant milestone for the Company and this video gives a clear demonstration of how it works. The waste-to-energy market is fast evolving, with demand for alternatives to incineration and landfill increasing significantly. By achieving commercial grade ultra-high temperature gasification we are now in a strong position to progress commercial discussions with a number of potential clients".

BMR Group PLC

03 October 2016

 

3 October 2016

BMR Group PLC ("BMR" or the "Company")

ISF Slag Laboratory Tests Completed

 

On 1 June 2016, the Company announced that, in co-operation with Kupfermelt Metal Processing CC, its metallurgical partner, a recovery of 77.2% Zn had been achieved from the ISF Slag (ISFS), albeit at a cost of high sulphuric acid consumption. Recognising that this stockpile potentially contains 120,000 tonnes of Zn metal, the Company announced that test work would be continued in order to investigate ways of mitigating the high acid consumption by inter alia modifying the process route and blending it with either Leach Plant Residues (LPR) or Wash Plant Tailings (WPT).

The Board is now pleased to announce that it has successfully completed laboratory scale test work, using a sulphating acid brine leach, on randomly selected LPR/ISFS samples composited in the ratio of 2:1, which approximates to the individual tonnages of the two assets. The laboratory scale test work, whose assay results were verified by an independent accredited laboratory, generated recoveries from the composite of up to circa 85% Zn and 91% Pb at a leach temperature of 80oC, and 75% Zn and 80% Pb at ambient temperatures.

Importantly, the sulphuric acid consumption was more than halved, when compared to the September 2015 tests, to approximately 500kgs/tonne.

The Board is also pleased to report that the sulphating acid brine leach process also recovered approximately 90% of the contained vanadium from the ISFS/LPR composite. The ISFS potentially contains 9000 tonnes of Vanadium (V) which is expected to be recovered in the form of vanadium pentoxide, which has a current aggregate market price in excess of US$15,000 per tonne. 

BMR's metallurgical partner has advised that the proposed Kabwe processing plant can in due course be modified to incorporate a sulphating acid brine leach circuit to process the ISFS/LPR composite.  The Company's strategy remains however to treat first the WPT with the acid brine leach process.

In light of the success of the sulphating acid brine leach tests to recover Zn, Pb and now V, the Company now intends to commission a study to convert the ISFS stockpile into a JORC compliant resource.

Vanadium is also present in the pregnant liquor solution produced by the proposed WPT treatment process. Optimisation test work to ensure the selective recovery of V from the pregnant liquor solution will be completed shortly. The Board has therefore engaged Alfred Knight Laboratories in Kitwe, Zambia to investigate the inclusion of a vanadium recovery circuit in its proposed WPT acid brine treatment facility.

Note: This release has been reviewed by Geoff Casson, B.Sc. (Hons), PhD, R Eng (Zambia), Member Engineering Institute of Zambia (Metallurgy), General Manager of the Company's Zambian subsidiary, Enviro Processing Ltd, who is a Qualified Person in accordance with the guidance note for Mining, Oil & Gas Companies issued by the London Stock Exchange in respect of AIM Companies.

 

Alex Borrelli, Chairman, commented: "These results are especially encouraging as they demonstrate the potential for BMR to extract a greater proportion of the in situ materials at Kabwe than previously anticipated for the benefit of our shareholders. We will therefore be commissioning a JORC survey of the ISF slag and will report the results of this survey to shareholders when available."

Midatech Pharma PLC

("Midatech" or the "Company")

 

Commencement of First in Human Immunotherapy Study Using Gold Nanoparticle Technology

 

Midatech (AIM: MTPH; Nasdaq: MTP), the international specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercialising and developing products in oncology, immunology and other therapeutic areas, today announces that its first in human Phase I study of an innovative vaccine (MTX102) using its gold nanoparticle (GNP) technology in type 1 diabetes has commenced. The results from the study are expected in 2017. The nano-vaccine approach also has potential applicability in oncology.

 

The MTX102 vaccine uses Midatech's primary platform GNP technology. GNPs are inert and chemically bound to small antigens which generate a tolerogenic response when injected into the skin, turning down the immune response against the insulin producing cells which cause type 1 diabetes. This is the first investigational product of its type to be used in humans.

 

The Phase I study of eight subjects aged 16-40 years with type 1 diabetes and residual endogenous insulin production aims to examine the general safety and tolerability of treatment. Secondary objectives are to study the feasibility of delivering GNP via microneedles and the scale and nature of immune responses generated in the body. The trial, conducted at two centres (Cardiff, UK and Linköping, Sweden), is the culmination of a four-year European Commission-supported program EE-ASI into researching beta cell preservation using Antigen Specific Immunotherapy (ASI) via GNP technology (www.ee-asi.eu).

 

Commenting on the announcement, Dr Jim Phillips, CEO of Midatech, said: "I am pleased to be able to announce the start of this important Phase I study which uses our GNP technology in an immunotherapy. We are hopeful that this trial will demonstrate the broad applicability of our technology and is exciting for the future of our R&D pipeline. We are pleased to be performing this study with support by a European Commission grant, and look forward to updating the market with results in 2017."

About our gold nanoparticle (GNP) technology

The patented gold nanoparticle (GNP) technology has been developed to improve key parameters when bound to existing and new drugs. GNPs comprise of a core of gold metal atoms to which an organic layer of carbohydrates or glycans (e.g. glucose, galactose or lactose) are attached via gold-sulphur bonds. Linkers for therapeutic agents (e.g. small molecules and chemotherapeutics) and peptides (e.g. insulin) – are attached to the gold core during the self-formation process. This process involves intricate yet uncomplicated synthesis that produces multi-component particles that may deliver multiple drug molecules to the targeted site. The GNP platform has potential uses in Oncology, Immunology/ Auto-immunology and Neurology, amongst others.

Concepta plc ("Concepta" or the "Company")

Chinese Manufacturing Agreement Signed with Shijiazhuang Huanzhong Biotech Limited 


 

Concepta plc (AIM:CPT), the UK healthcare company targeting the personalised mobile health market with a primary focus on women's fertility, announces that it has signed a Manufacturing Agreement ('the Agreement') with Shijiazhuang Huanzhong Biotech Limited ('HZ Biotech'), a leading Chinese manufacturer with operations in Shijiazhuang, to assemble and package Concepta's 'My Lotus' fertility product. This Agreement is in line with the Company's strategy as it builds towards the launch of its My Lotus product for unexplained infertility* into China in H2 2016.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, HZ Biotech will exclusively assemble and package Concepta produced components (including bulk tests and electronic meters), to produce Concepta's My Lotus product to specification for the Chinese market.  HZ will utilise its manufacturing site and processes, adhering to locally applicable laws and Chinese regulatory requirements.  In addition to assembling the final My Lotus product, HZ Biotech will be the sole purchaser of Concepta's My Lotus product and help facilitate its launch to the Chinese market and include post-market surveillance. Concepta will also look to work with a network of distributors in China to help achieve maximum market penetration in China and will update the market on these developments in due course.

 

Concepta's MyLotus is the only consumer product which allows both quantitative and qualitative measurements of a woman's personal hCG and LH hormone levels in an easy to use home test to facilitate higher conception rates and early diagnosis of any fertility problems. Competitor products currently only allow qualitative measurement and are based on the 'average woman'.  

 

Commenting on the Agreement, Erik Henau, Concepta CEO said: "I am delighted to announce this agreement with leading Chinese manufacturer HZ Biotech, which marks a significant step for Concepta towards the launch of our 'My Lotus' fertility product into China in 2016.  With regulatory approvals already in place in China, the Chinese market represents a highly attractive initial launch market for Concepta.   An estimated 4 million women in China each year discover that they have unexplained infertility. The sheer scale of the target market, combined with a growing Chinese middle class for whom our My Lotus product is affordable and recent regulatory changes regarding the one-child policy, all create the conditions for an exceptional market opportunity. As such annual revenue potential for this target market is expected to be worth £250m per annum.  

 

"We look forward to updating the market on our progress with HZ Biotech as we roll out our flagship fertility product in our first international market with the UK and Europe targeted for 2017."

About Concepta Plc:

Concepta plc is a pioneering UK healthcare company that has developed a proprietary platform and products targeted at the personalised mobile health market with a primary focus on women's fertility and specifically unexplained infertility*.

 

Founded in 2013, Concepta has developed a revolutionary flagship product 'MyLotus' for home self-testing that helps women with unexplained infertility to conceive.  

 

MyLotus is the only consumer product which allows both quantitative and qualitative measurements of measurement of a woman's personal hCG and LH hormone levels in an easy to use home test to facilitate higher conception rates and early diagnosis of any fertility problems.  Competitor products currently only allow qualitative measurement and are based on the 'average woman'.  

 

Concepta has a defined route to market for its new 'My Lotus' product with Regulatory approvals for launch in China in place for 2016 and CE-Marking for UK and Europe to follow in 2017 where the revenue potential of the Chinese and EU infertility market is worth c.£600m per annum for the company.

 

*Unexplained infertility refers to women that have been unable to conceive after 6 months of trying. This highly motivated target group of consumers won't typically be offered medical intervention until 12 months of unsuccessfully trying, with IVF not offered until two years. Research indicates couples start to take positive action ahead of this time and there is little medical support to help them do so.
