For PaxMedica, this Type C meeting is a strategic opportunity to engage with FDA experts and discuss the development steps required for PAX-101. This will ensure the company meets all necessary regulatory standards as it moves forward.

The upcoming meeting is a pivotal event for PaxMedica. It provides a platform to align with the FDA on crucial aspects concerning PAX-101, an intravenous formulation of suramin with potential to treat serious conditions like Human African Trypanosomiasis and Autism Spectrum Disorder (“ASD”). By engaging with the FDA, PaxMedica aims to clarify the regulatory pathways and address any potential hurdles in the clinical trial process, which are essential for bringing PAX-101 closer to market approval.

The implications of this FDA meeting are significant. It represents a key moment for PaxMedica to showcase the therapeutic potential and public health benefits of PAX-101. Successfully navigating this meeting could facilitate the next phases of clinical trials and the eventual approval process. This is crucial as PaxMedica seeks to address HAT, a neglected tropical disease, and ASD, affecting millions worldwide.

PaxMedica’s recent humanitarian efforts, such as providing suramin for HAT treatment in Malawi, demonstrate the company’s commitment to global health challenges. These actions highlight PAX-101’s potential to impact global healthcare positively.

As PaxMedica approaches this important meeting, the outcomes could significantly influence the company’s strategic direction and its ability to advance its mission of developing innovative treatments for neurological disorders. A positive engagement with the FDA could pave the way for further clinical developments and eventually bring PAX-101 to the patients who need it most.

CEO Howard Weisman stated, “We are not just continuing; we are intensifying our efforts to achieve significant milestones for these programs by the end of this year. We are on track to submit an NDA for PAX-101, and potentially secure an FDA Priority Review Voucher if approved.”

• CEO explains that Aston Bay is in the business of adding value through discovery of high-grade critical metals and precious metals deposits
• ATBHF is working with partner to develop the Storm Copper Project, located in Canada
• Storm project is serving as a model as the company looks to discover, develop other projects

Aston Bay Holdings (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) CEO Thomas Ullrich talked all things copper in a recent episode of the Bell2Bell podcast, which delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in fast-moving industries (https://ibn.fm/fwJak). During the interview, Ullrich and host Stuart Smith discussed key information about Aston Bay, a publicly traded Canadian minerals exploration company focused on exploring high-grade copper and gold deposits in North America.

Ullrich provided an overview of the company, noting that Aston Bay is in the business of adding value through discovery of high-grade critical metals and precious metals deposits. “We’re an exploration-stage company,” he explained. “Really what that means is that we want to get out there and make those first finds — really make the discovery — because we think that’s where you add the most value over the shortest time for our shareholders.”

During the interview, Ullrich also talked about the company’s team of advisors and directors and their unique expertise in the exploration-stage space. As the only full-time employee, Ullrich has been involved in geoscience since the early 1990s, working in everything from big mining companies to universities, as well as the junior exploration space. “[That’s] where I am now and where I prefer to be,” he said. “I think this is the most exciting place to be. There’s nothing more exciting than making a discovery.”

Ullrich also noted “a fantastic group of advisors and directors,” including Jessie Liu-Ernsting, who has capital markets knowhow and decades of experience in the business; Jeff Wilson, the CEO of Precipitate Gold; Mark Pryor, the current vice president of exploration for the Electrum Group; and Gary O’Connor, an extremely experienced geologist with expertise in the capital markets.

In addition, Ullrich discussed in depth the company’s primary project, the Storm Copper Project located in Canada, which Aston Bay is advancing with its partner, America West. Ullrich explained that the project is developing on two fronts. First, the company is taking zones of high-grade copper and advancing them toward the mine stage.

“But the Storm story is not just a development story,” Ullrich continued. “We also have what we think is significant potential to be hiding some potentially large mineralization in the subsurface. . . . We think that all this mineralization that we’re seeing at the surface, that we’re taking towards mine, is really just an indication of what can be hidden at depth, so the second big story for us at Storm is that potential for additional discoveries at depth.”

Ullrich went on to note that the Storm project is serving as a model as the company looks toward other projects, including the Epworth project, a copper-deposit project that is also located in Nunavut.

“We want to apply the knowledge we’ve gained at Storm, both technically and business knowledge . . . and look at this one as Storm version 2 and see if we can develop this in the same way,” he noted. “Add another success to our portfolio here. And really that’s what we want to continue doing going forward with our projects throughout North America.”

Aston Bay is a publicly traded mineral exploration company exploring for high-grade copper and gold deposits in Virginia and Nunavut, Canada. The company is led by CEO Thomas Ullrich, with exploration in Virginia directed by company advisor Don Taylor, the 2018 Thayer Lindsley Award winner for his discovery of the Taylor Pb-Zn-Ag Deposit in Arizona. Aston Bay is currently exploring the high-grade Buckingham Gold Vein in central Virginia and is in advanced stages of negotiation on other lands with high-grade copper potential in the area. The company and its joint-venture partners, American West Metals Limited and wholly owned subsidiary Tornado Metals Ltd., have agreed to form a 20/80 unincorporated joint venture and enter into a joint-venture agreement in respect to the Storm Project property, which hosts the Storm Copper Project and the Seal Zinc Deposit.

• Significant drought has long been recognized as a major climactic concern as some of the earth’s populations struggle to ensure they have sufficient water
• Amid drought conditions currently raging in Mexico City, some residents have signed an MOU with green tech engineering services company Energy and Water Development Corp. to harvest water directly from the atmosphere using EAWD’s patent-pending technology
• The planned water generation facility is expected to produce about 3.2 million liters of water annually, with expectations of adding millions more in later building phases
• The facility is a technological leap over traditional dry area water-collecting methods, where residents spread sheets to draw humidity off fog clouds, a method used in places such as the Atacama Desert, where rain has not fallen in some places during the past 400 years

Concerns about climate change have grown in recent years as scientists raise warnings about shifts in the world’s biomes, but one climate concern that is not new is the presence of drought conditions in select parts of the planet.

Science fiction has long envisioned the idea of harvesting water from the air as a solution to drought, whether through the “windtraps” of the Dune series in the 1960s, or Luke Skywalker’s moisture farm in the original Star Wars of the 1970s.

Now, Florida-based green tech engineering services company Energy and Water Development (OTCQB: EAWD) is putting the idea of harvesting drinking water from the atmosphere into real world application. Working with governmental institutions as well as NGOs (non-governmental organizations), the company is using its own patent-pending technology design to come up with energy and water solutions in areas where they are in short supply.

“Energy and Water Development Corp. is a leading engineering company that is focused on the innovation of the generation of sustainable water and energy supply. We … put together state-of-the-art technologies that will allow (us) to secure the provision of water and energy in any kind of situations in any part of the world,” company CEO Irma Velazquez said during an interview with The Harvest Podcast (https://ibn.fm/wgO5i). The podcast is a series that turns the spotlight on thought leaders, experts and breakthrough companies who make “disruptive and impactful contributions to society through groundbreaking initiatives” (https://ibn.fm/oHrT3).

“When you talk about water supply, you see that the challenge is about the geopolitical situation, the infrastructure, in general,” Velazquez said. “(Our) main objective is to be an evolving company that goes and works with innovation … and helps those who need projects onsite that (will) be sustainable in response to the new demands of the circumstances in climate change.”

The idea of extracting water from the air has been put into practice in other locations with far less developed resources. In Chile’s famed Atacama Desert, regarded as one of the driest places on earth where, in some parts, rain has not fallen for hundreds of years, Chileans have learned to harvest water from fog that comes inland from the ocean by “putting up plastic sheets with pans underneath. The fog collects on the plastic and drips into the pans, giving the people water for crops and drinking” (https://ibn.fm/LYKh2).

EAWD’s solutions to tackling water scarcity and energy challenges represent a self-sufficient energy supply Atmosphere Water Generation system and Off-grid EV Charging stations. The Off-Grid Atmosphere Water Generation Plant is at the heart of a joint memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) EAWD signed in December with residents in a municipality of Mexico City where drought conditions are leaving residents of one of the world’s largest cities at risk of running entirely out of water before the rainy season begins in the fall (https://ibn.fm/lgqOu).

Under the agreement, EAWD will deploy its water generation plant in a 5,000-square-meter facility that is expected to produce approximately 3.2 million liters of water annually by extracting moisture directly from the air. Although those figures are an average, it’s a bit like turning on a water tap in the desert that runs 24 hours a day, every day. Additional phases are planned to then increase the size of the facility to produce millions more liters of water than the original plant.

• Lexaria, a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, just concluded its first dosing for its glucagon-peptide-1 (“GLP-1”) human pilot study #2, GLP-1-H24-2
• GLP-1, a class of drugs, has demonstrated the ability to address diabetes and weight loss, albeit with poor oral bioavailability, usually as little as 0.8%
• Lexaria, through its study, looks to demonstrate the effectiveness of its DehydraTECH(TM) technology in improving GLP-1’s bioavailability, opening up a vast worldwide market

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, just concluded its first dosing for its glucagon-peptide-1 (“GLP-1”) human pilot study #2, GLP-1-H24-2 (https://ibn.fm/74Pee). This follows the recent announcement of an applied research program to evaluate certain molecular characteristics of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) processed GLP-1 drug, semaglutide, related to its mode of action and performance. It also marks a significant milestone in the company’s 2024 research pipeline (https://ibn.fm/ilW5r).

At the beginning of the year, the company resolved to focus on GLP-1 studies for the calendar year, having shown positive results in an 8-week clinical study in 2023/24. This latest milestone followed its recent contract award and independent ethics review board approval in April.

The study will spot three arms, comparing 7 mg semaglutide dose formulations. The first arm used a positive control Rybelsus(R) swallowed tablet, while the second arm – due to be performed in late June – will feature DehydraTECH-semaglutide swallowed capsules. Nearly 5 weeks are required between doses to “wash-out” lingering quantities of drugs between study arms.

The last arm will, for the first time, utilize an in-mouth dissolvable DehydraTECH-semaglutide oral tablet. This study arm will investigate whether DehydraTECH-enhanced semaglutide can be absorbed at any level systemically through the sublingual/buccal tissues of the mouth and throat, and into the bloodstream, with fewer side effects than from swallowed pill administration. It will mostly avoid the stomach’s acidic environment, which seriously degrades GLP-1 drugs that are swallowed, resulting in exceptionally low blood absorption rates.

GLP-1 exhibits poor oral bioavailability, usually as little as 0.8%, despite having demonstrated the ability to address diabetes and weight loss. Lexaria, through its DehydraTECH technology, has proven to significantly improve this bioavailability.

Lexaria looks to follow through with this clinical study, and more, ultimately carving out a significant market share in the diabetes treatment market, projected to reach $134.1 billion by 2030. Its management is optimistic that this will be its biggest year yet, where all its efforts and investments will pay off.

“I am excited about this study; the Lexaria scientific team believes that a dissolvable oral tablet that delivers an effective fraction of semaglutide along with reduced side effects could potentially offer valuable benefits to the pharmaceutical industry that might lead to a higher likelihood of favorable strategic partnering with leading industry players in GLP-1,” noted Chris Bunka, Lexaria’s CEO (https://ibn.fm/nhPpb).

• SuperCom, a global leading provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, is tapping into the growing use cases for electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions globally
• New adoption of the technology is seen in a move by the U.S. government to use ankle monitors to also track asylum seekers entering the country to help support and expedite their asylum process
• For SuperCom, this is a further validation of the value of EM solutions, their versatility and overall effectiveness
• SuperCom’s management anticipates a growth in the demand for its products as the conversation around these solutions continues to proliferate

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global leading provider of traditional and digital identity solutions offering advanced safety, identification, and security products and solutions to governments, is steadily advancing its technologies, primarily given the growing use case for electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions globally. This stems from a deep understanding of the current global market for such solutions, which goes beyond only offender monitoring and also now covers tracking for migrant families seeking asylum in the U.S. The goal is to keep asylum seekers from skipping out on their required asylum hearings.

In previous administrations in the U.S., there was a push for the detainment of families in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) facilities, a move that faced backlash. In addition, scientific studies showed that detaining minors, even with their parents, could cause developmental damage. The public outcry prompted the current administration to explore better approaches to tackling the issue (https://ibn.fm/if4xs).

The U.S. government has been transitioning from family detention to adopting ankle bracelets and traceable cell phones. This laid the foundation for the new program, which leverages electronic monitoring technology while using curfews and expedited asylum screenings. In an article published by The New York Times, it was noted that this was in response to the growing migrant situation, with the country having recorded over 2.5 million migrant encounters at the southwest land border in the 2023 fiscal year alone.

The U.S. government’s adoption of EM within ICE has been geared toward keeping track of thousands of migrants and making rulings in a make-or-break step of the asylum process. SuperCom sees this move as further validation of the overall effectiveness, viability, and dependability of EM solutions. It also presents new opportunities that other governments worldwide can leverage to expedite huddles in their legal processes and track and hold accountable specific persons of interest.

SuperCom has made a name for itself by offering superior EM solutions and a whole suite to support them. With a focus on offenders of domestic violence, the company has proven itself on many occasions and in different countries globally, affirming the value of its products and services and the overall viability of EM solutions.

As the conversation about these solutions continues to proliferate, SuperCom anticipates potential growth in the demand for its products. In addition, as the solutions find their way into other application areas beyond offender monitoring, as is the case with the U.S. immigration program, the company anticipates that its offerings can address even more potential use cases.

• Preliminary interpretation of initial MLEM survey results indicates new exploration targets highlighting excellent potential to discover additional copper mineralization
• Copper process projected to continue upward trend
• Results open “a whole new space for potential discovery,” says Aston Bay CEO

As copper prices climb to a 2024 high, Aston Bay Holdings (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) is reporting initial results from geophysical activities that are currently underway at its Nunavut-based Storm Copper Project (https://ibn.fm/d5faa). According to the report, preliminary interpretation of the initial moving loop electromagnetic (“MLEM”) survey results indicates several new exploration targets highlighting excellent potential to discover additional copper mineralization.

“Soaring copper prices show no signs of slowing down, analysts say, with the red metal’s rally fueled by supply risks and improving demand prospects for energy transition metals,” states a recent CNBC report (https://ibn.fm/dkBta). “Copper prices with May delivery traded at $4.323 per pound in New York as of Wednesday morning, extending gains after settling at its highest level since June 2022 in the previous session.

“Three-month copper prices on the London Metal Exchange traded 0.6% higher at $9,477 per metric ton,” the report continued. “Demand for copper is widely considered a proxy for economic health. The base metal is critically important to the energy-transition ecosystem and is integral to manufacturing electric vehicles, power grids and wind turbines. Wall Street banks are bullish on the outlook for copper prices through to the end of the year.”

With this backdrop, the results from Aston Bay regarding its Storm Copper Project, which is located on Somerset Island in Nunavut, are particularly promising. The program is fully funded and is being conducted by American West Metals Limited, which has completed the required expenditures to earn an undivided 80% interest in the project.

According to the report, initial MLEM data shows that the high-grade copper mineralization at the Cyclone Zone likely extends in most directions. In addition, new EM anomalies have also been identified over 1,000 meters along strike from the Chinook Zone as well as in the areas of the 2023 discoveries at the Thunder, Lightning Ridge and Gap Prospects. These results, the company observes, indicate strong potential for extensions to known high-grade copper mineralization.

The company also reported that the MLEM surveys continue in the Storm area, with plans to move south toward the Blizzard and Tornado Prospects. In addition, deeper-looking MLEM surveys are also planned between the North and South Graben Faults in the Storm area. The company noted that track-mounted reverse-circulation (“RC”) drilling is underway, with one drill currently operating and a second drill being deployed to the site. This drilling is designed to test the new targets along with several historical EM anomalies and other high-priority targets for near-surface, high-grade copper mineralization.

“It is very encouraging to see geophysics identify new targets at Storm,” said Aston Bay CEO Thomas Ullrich. “Moving Loop EM anomalies have demonstrated a very strong correlation with high-grade copper mineralization, so these are high-priority drill targets. This initial phase of geophysics is designed to be effective in the shallow subsurface, less than 200 metres depth, well within reach of the RC drill rigs on site. The ongoing drilling will aim to test these targets in the coming weeks and over the summer program.”

Ullrich noted that the planned deep-penetrating, wider-spaced MLEM survey will explore the Storm Central Graben area below the known mineralization with a targeted search space of 200 to 500 meters in depth. “This opens a whole new space for potential discovery,” he continued. “In the 2024 season, we intersected copper mineralization at these depths with the same mineralogy as seen at the surface. We anticipate these deeper-looking surveys will enhance our drill targeting for potentially thicker and more laterally extensive zones of mineralization in this very prospective but underexplored zone.”

Aston Bay is a publicly traded mineral exploration company exploring for high-grade copper and gold deposits in the state of Virginia and in Nunavut, Canada. The company is led by CEO Thomas Ullrich with exploration in Virginia directed by the company’s advisor, Don Taylor, the 2018 Thayer Lindsley Award winner for his discovery of the Taylor Pb-Zn-Ag Deposit in Arizona.

The company and its joint venture partners—American West Metals Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tornado Metals Ltd.—have agreed to form a 20/80 unincorporated joint venture and enter into a joint-venture agreement regarding the Storm Project property, which also hosts the Seal Zinc Deposit. Under such agreement, Aston Bay shall have a free carried interest until American West has decided to mine upon completion of a bankable feasibility study, meaning American West will be solely responsible for funding the joint venture until such decision is made. After such decision is made, Aston Bay will be diluted in the event it does not elect to contribute its proportionate share, and its interest in the Storm Project property will be converted into a 2% net smelter returns royalty if its interest is diluted to below 10%.
