• Tellurium is listed by the United States and Canadian governments as a critical metal
• “We have an interesting critical metal that is going to be much of demand in the future as well as high-grade precious metals,” states FSTTF CEO
• The company’s two properties — Deer Horn Project in British Columbia and Klondike tellurium-gold property in Colorado — anchor a diversified search for metals

Tellurium is gaining recognition in a world increasingly focused on renewable sources of energy. Listed on both the U.S. (https://ibn.fm/bF1X8) and Canada (https://ibn.fm/jfQXH) list of critical metals, tellurium is a key component of solar panels. First Tellurium’s (CSE: FTEL) (OTCQB: FSTTF) president and CEO Tyrone Docherty was recently featured as a guest on the Bell2Bell podcast, where he talked about the company and its key position in the growing tellurium space.

“First Tellurium has a wonderful, high-grade gold and silver property in Canada, but it comes with this unique mineral, tellurium, which is listed by both the United States and Canadian governments as critical,” Docherty explained as he talked with Bell2Bell host Stuart Smith. “Tellurium has come into the fore over the last couple of decades because it is used in solar panels by U.S. corporation First Solar, which uses a mixture of cadmium and tellurium, as opposed to different solar panels coming out of China. Tellurium is very important there, and it’s a very rare metal.”

Docherty has worked in the minerals market for more than three decades. After starting Quinto Mining Inc. at $4 million, he eventually sold it for $175 million. He took shares in the buyout company, Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines, and ended up owning approximately 21% of that company. When Consolidated sold for $4.9 billion, Docherty gained an enterprise value of about $1 billion.

Docherty planned on retiring after his Quinto days, but he “put on the work boots again” with First Tellurium. As the largest shareholder along with his wife, Docherty notes that “I build companies sort of . . . like the movie, ‘Field of Dreams.’ You know, if you build something properly, people will come with big checks to buy you out, and that’s what I see happening here. We have an interesting critical metal that is going to be much of demand in the future as well as high-grade precious metals to go along with it.”

In addition, Docherty noted, the company’s polymetallic Deer Horn property looks as if it contains the “greenest of all minerals” — copper — which the company plans to start exploring soon. “We really are blessed to have a tremendous property and, to top that off, we’ve also got the highest-grade tellurium property in North America in a property in Colorado that used to be owned by First Solar. So we’re going to be looking at that after, so when it comes to solar potential and tellurium potential, we’re the only ones in town, so to speak.”

In his remarks, Docherty provided a brief overview of the company’s recent milestones, including uplisting to the OTC QB and purchasing a brand-new drill from a group in Alaska. “[The company] insisted that for payment they did not want cash, they only wanted shares of our company,” Docherty explained, “because one of their business associates walked our property in October and saw the copper [potential] for himself and apparently phoned them and said, ‘I haven’t done this for 16 years since I’ve worked with you guys, but you’ve got to buy shares in this junior company.’”

The Bell2Bell podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in fast-moving industries. The complete Bell2Bell interview with Docherty can be heard here.

First Tellurium is committed to generating revenue and value by exploring responsibly and leveraging diverse partnerships. The company’s polymetallic (tellurium, gold, silver, copper, tungsten) Deer Horn Project in British Columbia and Klondike tellurium-gold property in Colorado anchor a diversified search for metals, working in alliance with indigenous peoples, NGOs, governments and leading metals buyers.

• U.S.-based gene therapy developer Genprex, Inc. is developing new therapies for fighting cancer tumors and diabetes
• The company’s gene therapies for battling types 1 and 2 diabetes use a simple endoscopic procedure to introduce select insulin-boosting genes directly to the pancreas to combat insulin decline factors in the body
• The company is working with research collaborators at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and recently announced a new license agreement in relation to a gene therapy for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
• The company’s novel infusion process using related gene therapy has shown statistically significant results in preclinical testing and Genprex anticipates a pending Phase I trial following the generation of sufficient preclinical data

Clinical-stage cancer and diabetes gene therapy developer Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio for the company’s diabetes gene therapy program, recently announcing that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement related to a particular gene therapy for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Specifically, the announcement involves a worldwide exclusive license to a patent application and related technology, and a worldwide non-exclusive license to use certain related know-how using the genes of the Pdx1 and MafA transcription factors controlled by a MafB promoter, as developed by the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt).

Genprex is developing technologies to administer disease-fighting genes that will provide new therapies in the fight against cancer and diabetes for large patient populations. In regard to the company’s diabetes approach, the Pdx1 and MafA genes are delivered directly to the pancreas through a novel infusion process (gene therapy candidates GPX-002 and GPX-003).

GPX-002 seeks a solution for type 1 diabetes, which most often appears in childhood or teen years and has no cure. In most cases, the body’s own immune system destroys the insulin-producing (islet) cells in the pancreas for some reason, slowing or stopping the production of vital sugar-regulating hormones (https://ibn.fm/14AW4).

GPX-002 changes alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to help them avoid being destroyed by the body’s immune system. Preclinical testing in mouse models and subsequently in non-human primates has produced statistically significant results to this effect.

GPX-003 seeks a solution for type 2 diabetes, which is more common in adults but similarly involves insufficient quantities of the sugar-regulating insulin hormone, although not as a result of attacks by the body’s immune system. Instead, muscle, fat and liver cells simply become resistant to insulin, and the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin to regulate sugars.

GPX-003 also uses a novel infusion process to deliver Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas, which are expected to work by rejuvenating diminished beta cells to increase insulin expression. A Phase I clinical trial in diabetic patients is pending, following the generation of sufficient preclinical data (https://ibn.fm/1nO8Z).

“We are continuing to build a fortress of protection and a powerful intellectual property portfolio for our diabetes gene therapy program,” Genprex Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Rodney Varner stated in the company’s news release about the new Pitt license (https://ibn.fm/mFZqN). “The addition of this license to MafB promoter technology expands and strengthens the potential for this novel, gene therapy to treat Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.”

The company’s CMO, Mark Berger, MD, added, “What is exciting about this latest licensed technology is the early data suggests greater potency when combined with other previously licensed technologies and may be a particularly significant step forward in our construct optimization.”

• Ucore Rare Metals Inc. is demonstrating the rare earth feedstock refining capabilities of its proprietary RapidSX(TM) processing technology at an Ontario facility while preparing to build a commercial plant in Louisiana, developing a North America-based supply chain for critical tech metals
• Rare earth element (“REE”) processing is currently almost exclusively controlled worldwide by the People’s Republic of China, and governments as well as industry players are searching for solutions to develop rare earth sourcing not reliant on Chinese industry and its government’s policies
• Companies that have been involved in mining REEs have thus far encountered significant impediments to their efforts to refine the metals independent of China’s globe-dominating REE industries
• RapidSX is being developed as an advantageous alternative to the industry standard SX process for rare earth refining, expecting to show less environmental impact, faster production, and fewer resource needs, as well as independence from China’s supply chain

A recent Reuters report on the challenges facing rare earth (“REE”) processing companies outside of China underscores the potential market opportunity awaiting critical technology metals supply chain innovator Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), as Ucore works to bring its proprietary North America-based REE processing technology online for commercial use.

Ucore is using a unique facility in Ontario, Canada to demonstrate the capability of its RapidSX(TM) solvent extraction process to bring REEs and other critical technology metals to market and do so in an environmentally sound way.

The company has acquired property in Louisiana, United States where it intends to begin construction on a commercial-scalable REE processing plant using RapidSX(TM) later this year.

The Reuters report (https://ibn.fm/aukNP) notes that economies around the world have been struggling to refine their own rare earths in order to “break China’s stranglehold on the key group of 17 metals needed for the clean energy transition.”

It highlights the frustrated efforts of two companies — MP Materials and Lynas — to take REEs they’ve mined and turn them into material for making magnets that are used across the globe in economically sweeping products such as Apple’s iPhone, Tesla’s Model 3 electric vehicle, and Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jet.

The People’s Republic of China effectively controls the supply chain for REEs and other tech metals thanks to strategic buildup of its industries and pricing of its output over the past few decades, leading to estimates that the country is refining 89 percent of the world’s neodymium and praseodymium, which are key metals for EV magnets, and 99 percent of dysprosium, which is used for retaining magnetization at high temperatures, Reuters notes.

The European Union imports 98 percent of its REE supply from China, while the United States imports 78 percent of its supply from the Asian nation (https://ibn.fm/yyvJG).

Other companies each encountered distinct impediments to their efforts to develop REE sourcing that is not reliant on Chinese industry.  “The rare earths refining process can be very finicky,” University of Arizona mining and geological engineering department director Kray Luxbacker told Reuters. “There are just so many complex steps.”

Ucore is excited about its prospects in putting RapidSX(TM) to work. The company’s demonstration plant in Ontario is designed to provide a direct comparison between the RapidSX(TM) output and the output of the conventional SX process used by China and all other processors in the industry.

“Independent testing has shown that the innovative column-based RapidSX platform can separate rare earths nearly 10 times faster within a footprint that is about one-third the size required for the mixer-settler units used for traditional SX separation,” Alaska’s Metal Tech News reported earlier this year (https://ibn.fm/weW6R).

Ucore is also working with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) to demonstrate the potential of Rapid SX(TM), utilizing a $4 million grant from the federal government.

• SuperCom provides offender monitoring products and solutions under the best-of-breed PureSecurity Electronic Monitoring (“EM”) Suite
• The PureSecurity EM Suite includes the PureOne ankle bracelet, PureTag ankle bracelet, PureCom base station, PureTrack smartphone, PureProtect mobile phone application, PureBeacon radiofrequency (“RF”) device, and the PureMonitor cloud-based software
• A growing body of research supports home confinement with EM as an effective and appropriate alternative to imprisonment for lower-risk offenders
• Research shows that people assigned to home confinement with EM have similar or better outcomes than those who serve time in prison, as measured by future criminality
• By providing EM solutions, SuperCom is helping governments reduce overcrowding in prisons, lower recidivism, and improve public safety

When the U.S. federal government decided to implement home confinement under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, it considered, among others, the ability of home supervision and EM to enforce many of the restrictions and safeguards of a prison cell. The decision followed the March 2020 signing into law of the CARES Act, which allowed the federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) to place individuals into home confinement during the official emergency period, which began January 31, 2020, and ended May 11 this year (https://ibn.fm/uppB0).

As of May 27, 2023, the BOP had placed 13,204 individuals into home confinement, with only 521 of those people being returned to secured custody. Of these, 296 were returned due to alcohol or drug use, 113 for technical violations, 90 for failing to remain at a designated location, and 22 for new criminal conduct. The early results of home confinement under the CARES Act are strong, according to a recent article in Niskanen Center (https://ibn.fm/B11b1).

These results contribute to a global body of research evidence that supports the thesis that home confinement is an effective and appropriate alternative to imprisonment for lower-risk offenders. Drawn from studies conducted in the U.S., Norway, Argentina, Australia, Germany, England and Wales, and France, the research evidence, the article says, shows that “people assigned to home confinement with electronic monitoring – either instead of prison or as a condition of release – have, at worst, similar outcomes to those who serve time in prison and, at best, significantly better outcomes, as measured by future criminality.” The article also points out that researchers ascribe substantial cost savings to home confinement.

“Finally, evidence overwhelmingly supports the idea that certainty of apprehension is the most important factor in criminal deterrence, and electronic monitoring substantially increases the probability of capture for any given offense,” the article continues. “Research has shown that offenders on monitoring are aware that authorities are tracking their location, and are aware that they are very likely to be caught should they commit a crime.”

Recognizing the effectiveness of EM in lowering recidivism rates and reducing prison overcrowding, governments are turning to companies such as SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global secure solutions integrator and technology provider for governments and consumer-facing organizations worldwide.

SuperCom provides offender monitoring products and solutions under the best-of-breed PureSecurity EM Suite, which includes the PureOne all-in-one GPS tracking ankle bracelet, PureTag ankle bracelet, PureCom base station, PureTrack smartphone, PureProtect mobile phone application, PureBeacon radiofrequency (“RF”) device, and the PureMonitor software. The company combines two or more of these products to provide individual services such as GPS monitoring, home detention (house arrest) enforcement and monitoring, inmate monitoring, and domestic violence monitoring.

For instance, to provide its house arrest solution, the company pairs PureTag, a slim, lightweight, waterproof, and dustproof ankle bracelet with advanced tampering detection, with PureCom, a base station that communicates over LTE, Wi-Fi, and landline connectivity. The company then provides the PureMonitor software, which is used by law enforcement officers to manage these products and monitor offenders. The house arrest ecosystem of products enforces scheduled and spontaneous biometric authentication and minimizes the need for home visits (https://ibn.fm/WvhXj).

Similarly, SuperCom’s GPS Offender Tracking combines the PureTag bracelet with the PureTrack smartphone location capabilities and PureBeacon Bluetooth connectivity (https://ibn.fm/x7qbq), while the domestic violence monitoring solution pairs the PureTag bracelet with the PureProtect app and PureMonitor software (https://ibn.fm/zvT3E).

The company’s PureSecurity EM Suite has attracted a host of countries interested in improving public safety while reducing prison overcrowding and recidivism rates. Earlier this year, SuperCom announced it had launched a $3.6 million project with the national government of Finland to deploy SuperCom’s PureSecurity EM suite (https://ibn.fm/0sdWP). Shortly thereafter, the company announced that, together with its local partner, it had received a second order from Romania’s Ministry of Interior to deploy its PureSecurity EM Suite following successful completion of the first phase (https://ibn.fm/R2av0).

“The growing number of countries opting for advanced EM solutions highlights the increasing need for exceptional technology in this industry. We take pride in the fact that our innovative and proven technology is chosen repeatedly, allowing us to continue revolutionizing the EM industry as we enter new European countries,” commented SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi in a news release announcing the project with the government of Finland.

With its growing backlog of orders and projects, SuperCom continues to solidify its position as a leader in the electronic monitoring market and a trusted partner to governments worldwide, according to Ordan. The company aims to continue providing its innovative and proven technology and services to help governments improve public safety while lowering recidivism, a result supported by a growing body of research evidence.

• The ADA reports that 37.3 million Americans had diabetes in 2019, and the number has been growing by an average 1.4 million each year
• 95% of Americans with diabetes are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and nerve damage when left untreated
• Lexaria’s DIAB-A22-1 pre-clinical diabetes study using DehydraTECH(TM)-CBD in obese diabetic-conditioned animals shows promising results, prompting the company to investigate for human trial

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently announced its intent to conduct a human clinical trial to examine its patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) for diabetes control and weight loss. The company’s pre-clinical diabetes study, DIAB-A22-1, in obese diabetic-conditioned animals, provided successful results and has driven Lexaria’s management to investigate whether animal improvements will be evidenced in humans.

Diabetes can impact various parts of the body, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, feet, and legs. The longer a person lives with the condition at high blood sugar levels, the more serious complications can become. Diabetes is manageable, but its impact on overall health is often underestimated.

According to the American Diabetes Association (“ADA”), 37.3 million Americans reported having diabetes in 2019. Of those 37.3 million, 28.7 million were diagnosed, and 8.5 million were not. Each year, the ADA reports an additional 1.4 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes (https://ibn.fm/spkfX). When left untreated, diabetes can lead to complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and nerve damage. “Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (‘NAFLD’), which doctors historically have diagnosed in adults, is rapidly increasing in children, driven by the obesity epidemic” (https://ibn.fm/8mfbG).

More than 95% of the people diagnosed with diabetes fall into the category of Type 2 diabetes, which affects how the body uses sugar for energy. Over time, type 2 diabetes can cause serious damage to the body if it is not managed. Often preventable, factors that contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes are obesity, lack of exercise, and genetics (https://ibn.fm/D6g1v).

Lexaria designed DehydraTECH for formulating and delivering lipophilic drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The benefits of DehydraTECH include faster drug delivery times, increased bioavailability, increased brain absorption, higher drug potency, reduced drug administration costs, masking tastes, and reduced use of sugars.

DehydraTECH is suitable for various product formats, including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, consumer packaged goods, topicals, and over-the-counter pills, capsules, tablets, and oral suspensions. Lexaria has already shown value in the hypertension and nicotine pouch industries through the use of its DehydraTECH formulations.

Lexaria’s DIAB-A22-1 study in obese diabetic-conditioned animals utilized its DehydraTECH-CBD formulation, which showed an ability to reduce animal blood sugar levels – warranting additional investigation. Lexaria reported:

• Lowered blood glucose levels by 19.9% (p<0.05)
• Lowered overall body weight by 7% sustained over eight weeks
• Witnessed a statistically significant increase in locomotor activity (p<0.05)
• Lowered triglyceride levels by more than 25% (p<0.007)
• Lowered blood urea nitrogen levels by 27.9% (p<0.001)

The company is very interested in discovering if a similar formulation might effectively control human blood sugar levels – strongly suggesting that DehydraTECH-CBD may be a potential solution for treating diabetes and its complications in humans.

Lexaria intends to conduct the study, which is currently being designed, at the same medical research hospital in Europe that it used for its recent human clinical hypertension studies. The cost-effective approach allows Lexaria to complete the most research possible at a fraction of the cost of US-based registered study programs. Once the study has been designed and approved, Lexaria will provide additional information, including timelines and study details, as they become available.

• GolfLync does a superior job of engaging and bringing together the expanding golf community, using intelligent technology with a user-friendly interface
• Remarkable membership growth, a far above average conversion rate, and high social media ratings, point to a unique opportunity for investors as well as golf lovers

Usually defined as a startup that is privately owned with a valuation that exceeds $1 billion, a unicorn is the epitome of spectacular growth. Although being a unicorn doesn’t guarantee permanent success, the most famous former unicorns, such as Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Facebook (NASDAQ: META), and Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB), now have astronomical market caps, with Google’s topping out at over $1.5 trillion. Every one of them started out small, but with an idea that filled a real need, fueling rapid growth and investment. In particular, social media apps that empower the building of specialized online communities can soar on word-of-mouth alone.

GolfLync is soaring due to its unique and feature-strong ability to bring together people who love golf, a sport that is experiencing a post-pandemic revival, and a market that was already listed at $26.1 billion in 2022 (26 Glorious Golf Industry Statistics [2023]: How Big Is The Golf Industry – Zippia).
