Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) Makes Visionary Pitch for Domestic REE Supply Chain at Fall Mining Showcase 2023

  • Rare earth element (“REE”) enterprise Ucore Rare Metals Inc. is developing an innovative separation technology for REEs critical to modern computer technologies
  • The company is preparing to advance the operational machinery being used to demonstrate Ucore’s proprietary RapidSX(TM) solution side-by-side with conventional separation technology, designing a similar commercial operation that will begin commissioning next year in Louisiana
  • China currently dominates the global market for mining, processing, and product creation for REEs, leading to American concerns about vulnerability to price and supply policies controlled by China’s government
  • Ucore has received a $4 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense to demonstrate the effectiveness of RapidSX(TM), which includes an additional $10 million for launching the commercial Louisiana operation

Strategic metals supply chain-focused enterprise Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) is driving American hemisphere innovation in the rare earth element (“REE”) market as a means of protecting Western inventions and technological applications from becoming too vulnerable to The People’s Republic of China’s control over critical resources.

Ucore Chairman and CEO Pat Ryan addressed the company’s development of its proprietary RapidSX(TM) REE processing solution, its preparations to progress from testing at Ucore’s Ontario demonstration plant to a commercial plant in Louisiana, and its savvy use of government funding incentives to move the process as quickly as possible during Ryan’s appearance at Red Cloud’s Fall Mining Showcase 2023.

“Permanent magnets are the things that drive renewable energy. They drive the wind turbines, they drive the electric vehicles (‘EVs’). Those permanent magnets are made with rare earth elements. But the rare earth elements are actually quite controlled by China,” Ryan told RCTV during a Showcase interview (https://ibn.fm/9qwHc). “So resource-side, they control 60 percent of the resource. Separation, mid-stream, 87 percent of the resource, and downstream 90 percent-plus,” he said.

Amid the transition to generating energy from renewable sources, the process is “going to be controlled by China going forward,” Ryan said. “So Ucore’s looked at it and said, ‘Where will we enter the market?’ The most logical place is in the mid-market, the middle of the market where China’s taking control of that 87 percent — use Westernized tech, develop separation for those critical seeds of technology, as the Japanese call it, and that will … connect the bridge between the resource and the downstream magnet makers.”

During his presentation to attendees at the Fall Mining Showcase, Ryan noted that about 90 million vehicles are made each year, and by the end of the decade a third of them are expected to be EVs despite current concerns about cooling trends in the EV market that Ryan labels simple supply and demand adjustments.

He also noted potential national security concerns in that REEs are used in military applications.

“There’s actually 920 pounds of rare earths in an F-35 fighter. Missile guiding systems work because of rare earth permanent magnets. Those rare earths are controlled by China,” he said (https://ibn.fm/takaX).

Ucore’s strategic response is to build three processing plants — the first being the soon-to-launch facility in Louisiana — that allow a “self-use” approach to processing REEs domestically without having to ship it to China first.

“And let’s joint-venture with a couple of mining operations to be able to, in an in situ way, whether it’s in Australia, western Africa, South America, build a plant that works with the mining companies,” Ryan said.

Building a 5,000-ton solvent extraction plant using the industry’s existing conventional separation process (“SX”) would cost $300 million-plus, he said, whereas building a 5,000-ton RapidSX(TM) plant will take about $55 million using a more slender footprint with less demand for electricity.

“Is (commercializing the RapidSX(TM) process) a leap? No, it’s not a leap, because it’s the same chemistry and that chemistry’s proven. But let’s apply it that much more effectively,” Ryan said.

The company has received a $4 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense to demonstrate the effectiveness of RapidSX(TM) in Canada, and anticipates an additional $10 million in funding to help launch the commercial Louisiana operation, he said. Ucore has also been talking with automotive companies about the possibility of reaching pre-purchase supply agreements as an additional form of investing in the company’s future.

Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN) Encouraged by Positive Results from Phase 2a Trial in Patients with Mild AD; Explores Paths Forward for the Development of Lomecel-B(TM)

  • Longeveron recently released topline results from its Phase 2a trial evaluating Lomecel-B(TM) as a potential treatment for mild AD
  • The study met its primary safety endpoint across all four study groups and showed positive and statistically significant results in secondary endpoint involving the Composite Alzheimer’s Disease Score (“CADS”) for Lomecel-B(TM) and components of the CADS
  • The positive results are expected to form the basis for further development of Lomecel-B(TM) as a potential treatment for mild AD

Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for aging-related and life-threatening conditions for which there is an unmet medical need, announced on October 5 its topline results from its Phase 2a trial, called the CLEAR MIND trial, investigating Lomecel-B(TM) for the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) (https://ibn.fm/b6G9m). The announcement was featured in a recent NetworkNewsAudio (“NNA”) broadcast, which is part of an overall goal to deliver additional visibility, recognition, and brand awareness in the investment community (https://ibn.fm/gSIll).

Lomecel-B(TM) is an allogeneic medicinal signaling cell (“MSC”). MSCs appear to possess anti-inflammatory, pro-vascular, and pro-regenerative properties.

The study met its primary safety endpoint across all study groups based on statistical and medical assessments, with the safety data consistent with an established safety profile with no incidence of hypersensitivity, no cases of Alzheimer Related Imagine Abnormalities (“ARIA”), no clinically asymptomatic microhemorrhages, and no notable changes in laboratory evaluations and electrocardiogram (“ECG”) reported. Moreover, the study revealed statistically significant improvements in the secondary endpoint Composite Alzheimer’s Disease Score (“CADS”) for Lomecel-B(TM) and specific components of the CADS.

“These study results with Lomecel-B(TM) are encouraging,” commented Dr. Jeffrey Cummings, MD, Vice Chair of Research at UNLV’s Department of Brain Health. “The study met its primary safety endpoint and is supported by lack of deterioration in cognitive or atrophy signals. The efficacy observations are encouraging, and these results should be used as a foundation for further studies.”

We believe these results provide important validation of both the safety and therapeutic potential of Lomecel-B(TM) in the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease, and provide a solid foundation for additional clinical trials in this and other indications,” said Wa’el Hashad, CEO of Longeveron.

Longeveron initiated the CLEAR MIND trial in January 2021 with the aim of obtaining safety and efficacy data following single and multiple infusions of two different dose levels of Lomecel-B(TM) compared to placebo. The study employed a double-blind, 4-arm, parallel design in which 48 patients with mild AD were randomized into the four arms at an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1, meaning each treatment arm had 12 patients (https://ibn.fm/sBh8e).

In an October 5 webcast during which the company discussed the topline results, Dr. Nataliya Agafonova, Chief Medical Officer of Longeveron, clarified that a total of 49 patients had been treated in the study, 22 being male, with the rest female (https://ibn.fm/ra029). The study was conducted over 45 weeks, which included a 6-week screening period, 12-week treatment period, and 27-week follow-up period.

The study built on positive Phase 1 data reported in 2021 following the completion of the Phase 1 study, which met its primary safety endpoint. Positive secondary efficacy assessments supported the potential therapeutic benefit of Lomecel-B(TM), according to an April 2021 news release (https://ibn.fm/xt78n). Lomecel-B(TM) resulted in a slower decline in cognitive function in patients who received low dose Lomecel-B(TM) compared with placebo. Moreover, quality of life metrics appeared to improve with Longeveron’s Lomecel-B(TM) investigational product as compared to placebo. These results were published in a leading journal, Alzheimer’s and Dementia, the Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, last year (https://ibn.fm/SLf5q).

Looking ahead, Longeveron plans to announce additional exploratory and biomarker data from the Phase 2a trial which may provide additional insights of the clinical effects of Lomecel-B(TM) in the study population, according to Mr. Hashad.

SenesTech Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES) Issues Q3 Report Amid Rollout of New Soft Bait Rodent Birth Control Formulation

  • SenesTech Inc., a visionary leader in fertility control to manage animal pest populations, has developed products that show success in limiting rat populations using unique non-lethal fertility reduction products
  • Rodents are often associated with carrying diseases that can affect humans, and SenesTech’s non-lethal population-reducing technology targets this major problem in a uniquely humane, environmentally conscious, yet effective way
  • The Arizona-based company has developed two primary products — its liquid ContraPest(R) brand, and the recently introduced Evolve(TM) Soft Bait formulation, soft bait being favored by rodent control professionals
  • The company anticipates using their technology to develop similar pest-control products for other species in the near future

Close on the heels of introducing a new product expected to create exponential revenue growth for the company, pest animal control innovator SenesTech (NASDAQ: SNES) reported its Q3 financial status to investors Nov. 9, highlighting the company’s continued progress in a year that has seen a record sequential quarterly increase in its earnings.

An archived recording of the Q3 report can be found on SenesTech’s Investor Relations page, at https://ibn.fm/AeEie.

SenesTech’s commitment to sustainable, non-toxic rodent reduction, is reflected in the company’s drive to market a global pest solution that introduces fertility control as the ideal alternative to toxic poisons.

Its trademarked liquid ContraPest(R) bait and Evolve(TM) Soft Bait both target the rapid birth rate in rodent populations, which can result in 15,000 offspring for a single pair of breeding rats in a year’s time and half a billion descendants within three years, according to research cited by President & CEO Joel Fruendt during an October webcast also available on the company’s archived recording webpage.

ContraPest established the company’s reputation with a brand that has shown success in reducing rat populations and subsequently increasing the profitability of poultry enterprises on both the East and West Coasts. The pest control industry’s preference for non-liquid applications then led SenesTech to formulate a non-liquid soft bait solution in its new Evolve product.

“Evolve was developed to offer customers a soft bait product that has similar efficacy to ContraPest(R), but in a format that is easier to deploy and that they can use daily in their integrated pest management programs,” Fruendt stated in a Nov. 1 news release announcing that the company is now taking orders from commercial customers for the soft bait formulation (https://ibn.fm/guMGb).

“Evolve is also suited for use by consumers,” he added, “and we expect to announce partnerships with e-commerce providers and big box retailers by the end of the year.”

The company states that Evolve is highly palatable to rats, and can be placed virtually anywhere rats are found, ranging from outdoor parks and recreation facilities to medical facilities and residential locations.

Evolve currently is only formulated for rats, although the company expects to expand to other pest species in the near future. The product’s active ingredient is a compound derived from cottonseed oil administered in doses too low to affect other species’ fertility as long as the product isn’t consumed in substantial quantities over extended periods of time, but the company recommends using tamper-resistant bait stations to minimize potential non-target species exposure.

Evolve is designed for repeated application. Its non-lethal approach to rodent birth control anticipates a cumulative effect over time with a half-life of approximately three days after consumption, and the company states rats will regain their fertility within approximately six weeks after they stop consuming the bait.

With the advent of cooler weather in the Northern Hemisphere, rodent activity becomes more noticeable because of their efforts to find warm refuge. An estimated 21 million homes across the United States will be affected by rodent activity during the season, according to pest control corporation Orkin (https://ibn.fm/ASt6r).

SenesTech’s original liquid ContraPest brand has the benefit of targeting hard-to-get roof rodents, and is the only rat contraception product for both male and female rats registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).
