Researchers from Wistar Institute have found a new category of compounds that merge the killing of bacterial pathogens that are drug resistant through the use of antibiotics, with a swift immune response used to fight antimicrobial resistance.
Last year, the WHO declared antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a top public health threat. Estimates show that by the year 2050, infections that are antibiotic resistant could not only thrust upon the world economy a collective burden of $100 trillion but also claim the lives of nearly 10 million people every year. It does not help that the number of bacteria growing treatment resistant with the current antibiotics is increasing, with few new drugs in development. This has created a desperate need for better antibiotics to be developed in a bid to avert public health crisis.
The lead author of the study, who also happens to be an assistant professor in the Vaccine and Immunotherapy Center, Farokh Dotiwala explained that the researchers used a bilateral and creative approach to create novel molecules that may be used to eliminate infections that are challenging to treat while also boosting an individual’s immune response. The main objective of the study was to discover dual-acting immune antibiotics. The study’s findings were reported in the “Nature” journal.
The antibiotics being used at the moment typically target vital bacterial functions such as metabolic pathways, as well as protein and nucleic acid synthesis. However, through bacterial mutations that the antibiotics target, bacteria can gain a resistance to the drugs. This either pumps the drugs out or inactivates them.
Dotiwala stated that the scientists rationalized that using the immune system to target bacteria in different areas at the same time would make it difficult for the bacteria to develop resistance to the antibiotics.
Dotiwala and his colleagues centered their focus on a non-mevalonate pathway that is not present in humans but is vital for a majority of bacteria. This made it the best target for development of antibiotics. The pathway is in charge of the biogenesis of molecules needed in a majority of pathogenic bacteria for cell survival.
Dotiwala then partnered with the other senior author of the study and Wistar’s medicinal chemist Joseph Salvino to discover and synthesize novel molecules of IspH inhibitors that could penetrate the cell walls of the bacteria.
This approach helped the researchers show that the inhibitors triggered stronger bacterial elimination activity in the immune system. The first author of the study, Kumar Singh, explained that activation of the immune system made up another line of defense of the dual-acting immuno-antibiotics strategy.

- U.S. taking actionable steps toward acceptance of psilocybin
- States, individual cities have decriminalized, made use and possession of psilocybin low law-enforcement priority
- More psilocybin research being done focused on health, well-being of Americans facing a mental health crisis on epic levels
Cybin (NEO: CYBN) is a life science company focused on the pharmaceutical development of psychedelic products. The company’s subsidiary Serenity Life Sciences is focused on the research and development of psilocybin-based medications. Psilocybin, referred to by the media as magic mushrooms, has had its share of bad press. The stigma of this substance has halted R&D in America in the past, but that is beginning to change.
Under the Controlled Substances Act, psilocybin is included with heroin and LSD as a Schedule I drug. According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, psilocybin serves no legitimate medical purpose in the United States (https://ibn.fm/Z23k3). This view has come under criticism as recent studies surrounding the substance show otherwise. The public’s opinion, state guidelines and pharmaceutical development of psychedelic products are moving towards growing acceptance and legalization.
Oregon became the first state to legalize the use of psilocybin for therapeutic use when voters passed Measure 109 on Nov. 3, 2020 (https://ibn.fm/TKCuc), the latest in several steps the country hs been taking toward psilocybin acceptance.
In 2005 the Court of Appeals in New Mexico overturned a felony drug trafficking conviction by citing that growing hallucinogenic mushrooms isn’t prohibited under the drug trafficking law’s definition of “manufacture” (https://ibn.fm/yRUSw), marking one of the first indications of what would be a slow-changing tide. Fifteen years later, New Jersey amended a marijuana decriminalization bill to include a lesser punishment for possession of psilocybin from a third-degree felony to a disorderly persons offense (https://ibn.fm/dmb3p).
In addition, where states are not decriminalizing psilocybin, individual cities are. Denver was the first U.S. city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms. Ordinance 301 was passed with a 50.56% majority in May 2019 (https://ibn.fm/pX7ii). This ordinance keeps the city from prosecuting or arresting adults in possession of or even growing the mushrooms.
Other cities across the country have followed suit. Oakland, California, passed a law the following month banning law enforcement from investigating and prosecuting individuals using or possessing drugs sourced from plants, cacti and mushrooms that contain psilocybin (https://ibn.fm/nEBhR).
The third city was also in California. Santa Cruz’s City Council voted unanimously in January 2020 to make the investigation and arrest for adult possession, use or cultivation a low-priority infraction (https://ibn.fm/YlVE9). In another unanimous vote in September 2020, Ann Arbor, Michigan’s City Council voted in favor of declaring the investigating and arrest of anyone for planting, cultivating, purchasing, transporting, distributing, engaging in practices with or possessing psilocybin the city’s lowest law enforcement priority (https://ibn.fm/pooRa). All four cities citied indigenous cultural reasons as well as research around the use of psychedelics in the treatment of mental health and as a viable option combating the opioid crisis.
More movement is being seen in the decriminalization and push for research across the United States.
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez filed legislation for researchers to more easily study the benefits of psychedelic drugs (https://ibn.fm/vDEHF)
- Jeff Shipply filled a bill in the name of personal freedom to decriminalize psilocybin in Iowa
- Initiative 81, voted on by D.C. residents and awaiting review by Congress, makes the possession and use of certain psychedelic plants low priority for the police (https://ibn.fm/yT730)
Criminalization and the stigmas attached have made it difficult for researchers to explore the medical benefits of psilocybin and other psychedelics. As more states accept the cultural and medical benefits of these substances, more research can be done, which could ultimately lead to increased health and well-being of Americans who are facing a mental health crisis on epic levels.
With more than 17 million people in the Unted States experiencing at least one major depressive episode (https://ibn.fm/0Wxky), it is past time for new treatment alternatives. Cybin is at the forefront of companies conducting clinical trials for potential new treatment options and is developing innovative approaches to bring new psychedelic-based therapies to patients in need.

According to Turkey news agency Anadolu, the country, which is located in Western Asia, has discovered an enormous gold deposit that holds roughly 99 tons of the valuable metal, which is roughly 3.5 million ounces. The gold deposit is valued at about $6 billion, totaling an estimated Rs 44,000 crore.
The gold deposit was found by Gübretaş, a fertilizer manufacturing firm, and reported by Turkey’s head of the agricultural credit cooperatives Fahrettin Poyraz. The deposit is located in Sögüt, a district and town located in Turkey’s Bilecik Province.
After news of the gold discovery became public, Gübretaş shares rose on the Turkish stock exchange, Borsa Istanbul, by about 10%. Poyraz stated in an interview with Anadolu that in two years, the first extraction of the precious metal would commence, which would add value to the economy of Turkey.
Poyraz stated that Gübretaş had won control of the site from another company in 2019 through a court-mandated decision. He added that Gübretaş was planning to develop the site. In addition to this, Poyraz noted that the company’s target for the coming five years was to attain an annual production of 100 tons.
Late in September 2020, Faith Dönmez, Turkey’s minister of Energy and Natural Resources reported that the country had broken its set target for the production of gold, by producing 38 gold tons.
The value of the recently discovered gold deposits is estimated to be larger than the gross domestic product of some nations. For instance, the GDP of Burundi is projected to be $3.17 billion, Lesotho’s GDP is $2.58 billion, Liberia’s GDP is $3.20 billion while that of the Maldives is pegged at $4.87 billion. This may make the deposit of gold richer than these nations. However, other countries such as Mauritania, Barbados, Montenegro and Guyana have economics that are significantly smaller than $6 billion.
A different development involving the inflow of funds into Turkey is the rehabilitation of the refugees from Syria. The European Union plans to inject nearly $590 million, which will be used to help over 1.8 million refugees and educate 7 million children. These programs are being managed by the Turkish Red Crescent in partnership with the Red Cross and UNICEF.

- UUUU to receive minimum of 2,500 tons of natural monazite ore, one of highest-grade REE minerals in world
- Company to produce raw materials needed for clean energy, advanced technologies while also creating green jobs in economically underserved area
- Energy Fuels will be first U.S. company in years to produce marketable mixed REE concentrate on commercial scale
Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a diversified uranium miner, has finalized a three-year agreement with the Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) to obtain natural monazite ore, one of the highest-grade rare earth element (“REE”) minerals in the world (https://ibn.fm/Rp4YN). The agreement calls for Energy Fuels to receive a minimum of 2,500 tons per year and represents a significant step in UUUU’s commitment to be a leader in re-establishing a fully integrated U.S. REE supply chain.
“With our announcement . . . Southeast Utah is fast becoming America’s clean energy and critical minerals hub,” Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers stated. “Our goal is to domestically produce the raw materials needed for clean energy and advanced technologies, while creating green jobs in an economically challenged part of the country.
“Currently, the U.S. imports nearly all of our rare earth, uranium and vanadium requirements, despite having ample supplies here in the U.S.,” Chalmers continued. “Importantly, in the United States we are highly regulated and operate to the highest standards, which means we produce these minerals more responsibly than many of the countries from which we currently import. Our agreement with Chemours may be the beginning of a real success story, not only for Energy Fuels, but also for local communities, Native Americans, conservation groups, the State of Utah, and the U.S. as a whole.”
Based on the announcement, Energy Fuels intends to start process the monazite it receives from Chemours beginning the first quarter of 2021. The process will take place at UUUU’s wholly owned White Mesa Mill, which is located in Utah. The company will recover the uranium that results from that process and produce a marketable mixed REE carbonate, an essential step toward re-establishing a fully independent U.S. REE supply chain.
Once Energy Fuels successfully begins this process, UUUU will be the first company in the United States in years to produce a marketable mixed REE concentrate ready for separation on a commercial scale. Based on its estimates, UUUU plans to be able to provide almost 10% of total current U.S. REE demand. REEs are used in a wide variety of clean energy and advanced technologies, including wind turbines, electric vehicles, cell phones, computers, flat-panel displays, advanced optics, catalysts, medicine and national defense applications.
Energy Fuels’ mixed REE carbonate production from monazite ore should use only a small amount of its White Mesa Mill’s ore-production capacity and produce almost no waste. Initially, UUUU plans on obtaining the 2,500 tons of monazite sands from Chemours, as outlined in the contract, but the company will work to increase monazite ore supply, hopefully reaching approximately 15,000 tons of monazite ore per year. The White Mesa Mill is licensed and designed to process 2,000 tons of ore daily, or 720,000 tons of ore per year, so the anticipated production of monazite sands represents an estimated 2% of its throughput capacity. If successful at reaching those numbers, Energy Fuels projects its White Mesa Mill will be able to produce approximately 50% of U.S. REE demand in a mixed REE carbonate.

Obesity during childhood is a challenge for many children. However, there may be hope, as German researchers have discovered that social, environmental and behavioral factors influence weight loss significantly, while obesity genes play a minor role in successful weight loss.
The recent study carried out by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) suggests that there are vital things to consider with regard to treatment strategies for obesity in children. Melanie Heitkamp, a researcher from TUM’s department of prevention, sports medicine and rehabilitation, explained that using an individual’s genetic predisposition as a basis for their likelihood to respond to a treatment for obesity may not help the treatment in succeeding.
Heitkamp, who is also the study author, added that even people who carried risk variants of genes connected with obesity would derive benefit from a healthy lifestyle, which included regular physical activity and a calorie-balanced diet.
The study involved more than 1,400 young individuals between the ages of 6 and 19 who were either obese or overweight. The study participants were enrolled in a four- to six-week program comprised of behavioral therapy, physical activity every day and a diet that was calorie restricted. In addition to this, the scientists also examined the genes of about 1,200 of the individuals involved in the study.
Heitkamp stated that some individuals had a rare obesity form that was brought about by single-gene defects. However, no one gene could be identified in a majority of people as the main cause of obesity. Furthermore, she explained that the interaction between an individual’s unhealthy lifestyle and genetics contributed to obesity. More than 900 gene variants that had been identified in various studies were linked to obesity.
Heitkamp also noted that genome studies had discovered 97 loci on human chromosomes that were linked to obesity at the time her team was conducting a statistical analysis. Further study had brought the number of those locations lower, to 56.
The scientists discovered that of the five statistically significant gene variants, three were linked to greater weight loss during the study duration. This meant that individuals who were carriers of the at-risk genes lost more weight through the lifestyle changes adopted than expected. The study’s results were reported in an online “JAMA Pediatrics” article.
However, the researchers believe that more studies need to be conducted to determine whether other genes that are not linked to obesity may also influence weight loss.

The transport sector accounts for around 28.2% of total carbon emissions in North America. In a bid to cut down these emissions, reduce reliance on fossil fuels and improve air quality, several state governments have been considering banning the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles in exchange for electric vehicles (“EVs”). Powered by clean, renewable energy, EVs produce zero emissions at the tailpipe, making them perfect for drivers keen on reducing their carbon footprint.
However, EV adoption is far from universal, with the high upfront costs and range anxiety keeping most drivers from making the switch to electric vehicles. This is corroborated by a new “Consumer Reports” survey, which found that most U.S. drivers are interested in going green but have been held back by expensive costs and insufficient charging infrastructure. More than 70% of the surveyed drivers expressed interest in purchasing an electric vehicle, while 27% said they would consider getting an EV as their next vehicle and 4% said they were planning on making an EV their next vehicle.
When they were asked to choose from a list of the factors that concerned them most about purchasing an electric vehicle, 5 out of 10 drivers chose “not enough charging stations.” Additionally, most respondents said that policy actions such as installing public charging stations along highways would make them more willing to lease or buy an EV. Respondents also asked for more government incentives to make EVs as affordable as internal combustion vehicles, with 60% of respondents supporting state and federal incentives for all consumers, while 12% opposed.
The surveyed drivers were also in favor of a more diverse range of all-electric models, with 7 out of 10 respondents saying that they would like automakers to offer electric powertrains in more vehicle models including full-size SUVs and pickup trucks. Only 4% of the respondents opposed the idea, meaning automakers such as Rivian, Tesla, Ford and General Motors that have been developing electric pickups are on the right track.
The “Consumer Report” survey found results similar to a 2019 poll commissioned by Volvo. That poll surveyed 1,510 U.S. drivers in October 2018; 61% of those respondents said insufficient charging infrastructure holds them back from purchasing EVs. Other results indicate that 58% of the respondents said they were worried about running out of juice on the road, and 57% said they would consider purchasing an EV if it didn’t cost much more than a conventional car.
The future of EVs seems to be bright, and it is no wonder that the industry is seeing a flurry of investor activity. For instance, Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) is in the process of completing a reverse merger with Mullen Technologies Inc., a maker of electric vehicles in California.

- Neuro-oncology drug developer CNS Pharmaceuticals is completing an underwritten public offering of common stock shares and warrants in a bid to fund its upcoming Phase 2 trials for a candidate in fighting glioblastoma brain cancers
- CNS’s Phase 2 trials are scheduled to begin during Q1 of 2021, building on a Phase 1 trial in which 44 percent of patients saw improvement and one patient has survived cancer-free for nearly 15 years
- The company has designed an ambitious, adaptive trial that allows for an interim analysis of data and adjustments for efficiency in bringing the drug candidate, Berubicin, to hoped-for approval as a glioblastoma treatment
- CNS is aiming for FDA approval of an expedited development pathway to obtain maximum efficiency in its timeline
- A recent syndicated broadcast provided CNS with additional publicity, shining a spotlight on its achievements in obtaining FDA approval for Investigational New Drug (“IND”) status
The dawning of a new year is traditionally a time when people embrace the hope of new promise in defeating the disappointments of the past months, and the advent of 2021’s calendar is perhaps more so than ever as a growing number of vaccines against the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic begin to roll out to the public in tiered priority phases.
Also just over the new year’s horizon is the launch of Phase 2 testing by neuro-oncology biopharmaceutical company CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) as CNS advances an ambitious agenda for developing a drug candidate that has shown promise in the fight against glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer that has no known cure or longevity-building treatment.
CNS’s drug candidate Berubicin was the focus of another company’s Phase 1 safety trials nearly 15 years ago. Out of 25 trial participants in the 2006 analysis, 11 of them (44 percent) achieved “statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit” and one of them continued to survive completely cancer-free as of last Feb. 20, when the most recent patient evaluation was conducted. Since glioblastoma patients have a median survival rate of only 14.6 months from the date of the malignancy’s diagnosis, the patient’s response has excited interest in Berubicin’s potential (https://ibn.fm/8wVG3).
CNS recently conducted an underwritten public offering of 5 million shares of common stock as well as warrants to purchase up to 2.5 million shares of common stock, selling the stocks and warrants together at a combined public offering price of $2 per share and warrant to fund the upcoming Phase 2 trial as well as other research and development. CNS also granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares of common stock and/or 375,000 warrants to cover over-allotments, if any occur. The offering was expected to close on or about Dec. 28 (https://ibn.fm/4j2B5).
“Anthracyclines as a class of chemotherapy have been used for over 60 years to treat a variety of cancers. … However, historically, anthracyclines have never been used to treat primary or metastatic brain cancers because scientists could not demonstrate that anthracyclines were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve significant levels of activity in the brain,” CEO John Climaco said during a recent webinar (https://ibn.fm/c1d6K). “Berubicin may change that history because it is the first anthracycline that, based on limited clinical data, appears to cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve drug levels critical for efficacy against central nervous system malignancies.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved CNS’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for Berubicin shortly before Christmas, and the company’s success in that endeavor was highlighted in a recent broadcast via NetworkNewsAudio (“NNA”) to thousands of syndication points (https://ibn.fm/F8N5C).
“Since becoming a public company, our clear focus has been on advancing the clinical development of Berubicin. We will now rapidly move to initiate our Phase 2 trial of Berubicin for adults with GBM and expect to begin enrolling patients in the first quarter of next year,” Climaco stated in a news release about the broadcast. “The Company will transform within the next several months as Berubicin becomes the subject of up to three active clinical trials, which include our randomized, controlled Phase 2 trial in the U.S., and 2 trials planned by our sublicensee WPD in Poland.”
The trial’s adaptive, stage-progressive design is intended to allow an interim analysis of the data for efficacy and then to allow an adjustment in patient population if necessary to make the most efficient and rapid use of time. CNS anticipates its trial strategy may potentially grant it an expedited pathway for development with the FDA if it continues to be successful.

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, recently hosted a webinar to discuss the clinical design for its upcoming Phase 2 trial. The trial will study its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive form of brain cancer currently considered incurable. Berubicin is an anthracycline that has demonstrated significant potential to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and target central nervous system malignancies. The company’s Phase 2 trial will recruit 243 patients for side-by-side, real-time analysis of Berubicin’s performance against lomustine, the chemotherapy standard of care drug. “We are evaluating responses defined as a decrease in the size of the tumor, as well as stability of the disease defined as no further increases in the size of the tumor once the patient is put on study, as well as the time to progression of these tumors and importantly overall survival of the patients,” CMO Dr. Sandra Silberman said during the webinar.

AzurRx BioPharma (NASDAQ: AZRX), a company specializing in the development of non-systemic, recombinant therapies for gastrointestinal (“GI”) diseases, today announced its entry into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with First Wave Bio Inc. for the use of its patented and proprietary oral and rectal formulations of niclosamide for the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated colitis (“ICI-AC”) and COVID-19 GI infections. “The acquisition of rights to niclosamide for these indications gives us an opportunity to strategically expand our existing pipeline and pursue multiple GI indications in the oncology and infectious disease arenas,” said James Sapirstein, president and CEO of AzurRx. “We are impressed with First Wave’s Phase 1b/2a clinical data, strong IP and patent position, and the significant unmet medical needs and market opportunities addressed by these two assets. We believe these niclosamide formulations could offer significant advantages over other currently available treatments. They are not systemically absorbed, potentially allowing for higher local GI concentrations of drug delivery and avoiding steroid-related immunosuppressant complications.”
In addition, the company announced that, in conjunction with its exclusive agreement with First Wave, it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single health care-focused institutional investor, under which the company agreed to sell approximately $8.0 million of Series C 9.00% Convertible Junior Preferred Stock in a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement. The company will also issue to the investor unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,666,668 shares of common stock. H.C. Wainwright & Co. is acting as exclusive placement agent for the offering.

- Active hurricane season projected for 2021 according to recent report examining factors contributing to Atlantic basin hurricane activity
- Hurricanes cause extreme damage due to strong winds, flooding and storm surges that create large amounts of natural waste
- SGTM provides synergistic solutions to waste disposal problems created by hurricanes that benefit the environment
Not only did the 2020 hurricane season in the United States start early, but it broke records with so many storms that the National Hurricane Center used every name in its pre-determined list (https://ibn.fm/oaVg2). Meteorologists are now predicting that 2021 may be another active season that will likely result in serious repercussions on urban infrastructure and the environment (https://ibn.fm/TynAU). Sustainable Green Team (OTC: SGTM), a leading provider of environmentally-beneficial solutions for tree and storm waste disposal, will be on call to provide remediation efforts that divert natural storm waste from landfills and transform it into organic mulch products and playground surfacing material that benefit the environment.
Following a record 2020 hurricane season, 2021 is projected to be another active year, according to recently published research examining factors contributing to Atlantic basin hurricane activity. “Early indications are that 2021 could potentially be another active season,” said Phil Klotzbach a meteorologist from Colorado State University and specialist in Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts. “Right now, we have about a 50% chance of having an above-normal hurricane season.”
Hurricanes can cause extreme damage that results in physical, economic and environmental hardship. Strong winds can wield power so immense that they uproot trees and turn them into dangerous projectiles flying through the air. Accordingly, flooding can cause extreme damage to the foundations of buildings while destroying vehicles and vegetation. These two threats, however, pose moderate risks when compared to storm surges that cause the sea level to rapidly rise and then fall, decimating everything in their path as the hurricane makes its way onto land.
The consequences of these storms on people, infrastructure and the environment can be devasting, and the 2020 season was no exception. From its early start on May 14, 2020, the record-breaking season had so many storms that, for the second time in its history, the National Hurricane Center used every name in the pre-determined list and used the Greek alphabet for the remainder of the season.
SGTM played a significant role in the remediation efforts for many of these hurricanes, such as Hurricane Laura – an exceptionally violent storm that ravaged Louisiana and caused billions of dollars in damage (https://ibn.fm/DH632). Rather than allow the abundant tree and vegetative waste to add to the burden imposed on municipal landfills, SGTM acted quickly through its strategic partners to collect the waste and transport it to designated processing facilities for transformation into environmentally-beneficial products.
SGTM has grown and expanded throughout 2020 with numerous new contracts, strategic partnerships and operational investments that will enable the company to tackle whatever 2021 will bring its way. With a mission of protecting and serving the environment, SGTM is positioned to continue growing by offering services that transform serious problems into profits for the benefit of its clients and the communities the company serves.

- Experts predict average price per kilowatt-hour for batteries will hit $101 by 2021, resulting in lower EV prices
- Battery prices would make an EV “cheaper than a gas car to buy,” observes “Car and Driver” article
- Mullen making strong strides toward production of several EV models
With the news from Bloomberg that the average price per kilowatt-hour for batteries is projected to hit $101 by 2021, it seems plausible that electric vehicles (“EVs”) may be comparable in price to gasoline-powered autos (https://ibn.fm/qofPF). That news paints a bright future for Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE), a global financial technology and value-added solutions group that has entered into a binding letter of intent to merge with privately held Mullen Technologies Inc., a Southern California-based electric vehicle company (https://ibn.fm/Fqg66).
“In the showroom, electric vehicles still cost more than their gasoline counterparts,” a recent “Car and Driver” article noted. “Sure there are tax credits, the maintenance is far cheaper, and charging can be cheaper than refueling in some cases. But it’s that sticker price that keeps some shoppers away from the electric powertrain. . . .
“Fortunately, it looks like the cost per kilowatt-hour is continuing to trend down, and according to a new report from energy research firm BloombergNEF (New Energy Finance), the market average should be $101 per kWh by 2023,” the article continued. “The $100-per-kWh price point is where experts expect the cost of EVs to match the prices of comparable gas-powered vehicles. If federal and state tax credits are still available at that time, it’s likely that they could make an EV cheaper than a gas car to buy.”
As NETE moves closer to closing the merger with Mullen, the progress Mullen is making toward production of EVs bodes well for the company. In October, Mullen began turning its high-voltage battery R&D center in Monrovia, California, into a state-of-the-art pilot manufacturing facility for its line of fully electric SUVs (https://ibn.fm/nztgs). With construction scheduled to be completed by April 2021, the company anticipated its first MX-05 SUVs will roll off the production line by Q2 2022.
With that in mind, Mullen begin taking pre-orders for its MX-05 SUV in October. The company is also taking pre-order for its Dragonfly K50, a pure electric, high-performance, limited-production sports car. In addition, the company has announced plans for its Mx-07 and MX-03 car models.
Net Element Inc. is a global financial technology and value-added solutions group that supports electronic payments acceptance in an omni-channel environment spanning across point-of-sale, e-commerce and mobile devices. The company operates a payments-as-a-service transactional model and value-added services platform for small to medium enterprises in the U.S. and selected emerging markets. Earlier this year Net Element entered into a binding letter of intent to merge with Mullen Technologies in a stock-for-stock reverse merger. The proposed merger is currently pending the execution of a definitive agreement, shareholder vote and regulatory approval.

- UUUU has signed three-year supply agreement with Chemours Company to obtain minimum 2,500 tons of rare earth and uranium-bearing natural monazite ore per year
- CEO notes company’s excitement about working with Chemours to help “reestablish U.S. rare earth production”
- Responsible production of REES, uranium from natural monazite ore is important complement to company’s existing programs
In what could be called a milestone moment in re-establishing a fully integrated REE supply chain in the United States, Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) has announced a three-year supply agreement with the Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) (https://ibn.fm/XO0tG). The agreement calls for Energy Fuels to receive a minimum of 2,500 tons of natural monazite ore per year, one of the highest-grade rare earth element (“REE”) minerals in the world. Energy Fuels will process this monazite at its 100%-owned White Mesa Mill in Southeast Utah to produce a marketable mixed REE carbonate.
“We are extremely excited about working with Chemours to help reestablish U.S. rare earth production,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers. “Chemours is a leader in the U.S. heavy mineral sands industry, and, together we are now taking an important first step in returning the REE supply chain back to the United States. We look forward to working with Chemours in the future to expand our mutual contributions to this important initiative.
“This is a proud moment for Energy Fuels, as we deploy our unique capabilities to benefit both the environment and our shareholders,” he continued. “Energy Fuels already produces uranium, which is the fuel for clean, carbon-free nuclear energy. And we periodically produce vanadium, which is used in the production of steel, aerospace alloys, and advanced grid-scale batteries used to store renewable energy. The responsible production of rare earths and uranium from natural monazite sand ores is an important clean-technology addition to those programs.”
Energy Fuels has long been an advocate for efforts made by the U.S. government to address the country’s overreliance on critical minerals needed for clean energy and advanced technologies from foreign sources and re-establish the rare earth and uranium supply chains with U.S. companies.
“Energy Fuels stands ready to do our part in bringing uranium, vanadium and rare earth element processing and production back to the United States. We have led uranium industry efforts in Washington DC over the past three years to bring the issue of mineral supply chain security to the forefront, beginning with our Uranium Section 232 Petition, in which we asked the President to impose quotas on uranium imports,” said Chalmers earlier this year (https://ibn.fm/0II41). “Energy Fuels strongly supports the President’s declaration of a national emergency and invoking the Defense Production Act to free up the immediate government funding required to bring uranium production back to the United States and reduce our current dependency on imports from foreign adversaries, while also helping to fund U.S. vanadium and rare earth element production.”
This supply agreement is tangible evidence of the the company’s active efforts to do all it can to bring production of these essential minerals back to the United States. This agreement should provide Energy Fuels with the natural monazite ore it needs to provide almost 10% of total current U.S. REE demand.
In addition, UUUU is seeking additional natural monazite ore from other suppliers in order to increase its production. The company has the capacity to produce approximately 50% of U.S. REE demand in a mixed REE carbonate. Energy Fuels is also working with the U.S. Department of Energy to determine the possibility of processing other types of REE and uranium-bearing ores at the White Mesa Mill.
Energy Fuels is a leading U.S.-based uranium mining company, supplying U3O8 to major nuclear utilities; the company also produces vanadium from certain of its projects, as market conditions warrant. Headquartered in Colorado, the company holds three of America’s key uranium production centers: the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the Nichols Ranch in-situ recovery (“ISR”) Project in Wyoming, and the Alta Mesa ISR Project in Texas. The White Mesa Mill is the only conventional uranium mill operating in the country today, has a licensed capacity of over 8 million pounds of U3O8 per year. The mill has the ability to produce vanadium when market conditions warrant and it was the largest U.S. supplier of high purity vanadium pentoxide in 2019. Energy Fuels is also completing final test-work for the production of REE carbonate from natural monazite ore, and expects to be in commercial rare earth production in 2021. The Nichols Ranch ISR Project is on standby and has a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds of U3O8 per year. The Alta Mesa ISR Project is also on standby and has a licensed capacity of 1.5 million pounds of U3O8 per year.

- Oregon is first state to permit supervised use of psilocybin, signaling shift in stigma
- CYBN entering phase 2 of clinical study of sublingual psilocybin for the potential treatment of MDD
- Newly discoverable data from psychedelic studies may potentially create entirely new marketplace of safe and effective drugs
Cybin (NEO: CYBN), a mushroom life sciences company, is working to become the first to bring a psilocybin drug to market targeting major depressive disorder (“MDD”). According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 18 million people in the United States — and 300 million people worldwide — experience major depression. Psilocybin has become a focus for academic institutions and companies whose clinical studies have been showing the effectiveness of psychedelics in mental health treatment. The stigmas around mushrooms are beginning to fade.
Most cities have decriminalized psilocybin, but Oregon is the first to permit supervised use statewide (https://ibn.fm/e3Spg). The passing of Measure 109 does not legalize the everyday use of psychedelic mushrooms but instead enables the regulated use of the shrooms in a therapeutic setting. Over the next two years, regulatory details will be worked out, including the qualifications required for therapists to use the mushrooms. The Oregon Health Authority will provide oversight for the program, and therapy recipients will undergo pre-screening, a supervised therapy session and post-use evaluation. Psilocybin is still considered a Schedule 1 drug.
Since 2018, the FDA has labeled psychedelic psilocybin a “breakthrough therapy” to treat MDD (https://ibn.fm/QCoge). This designation fast tracks the substance for clinical studies and for promising therapies that treat serious or life-threatening conditions and provide therapeutic benefits over available treatments (https://ibn.fm/REbvg).
On Nov. 4, 2020, John Hopkins Medicine researchers published their latest psilocybin study in “JAMA Psychiatry.” According to Alan Davis, PhD and adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, the results could be a game-changer (https://ibn.fm/EY74h).
“The magnitude of the effect we saw was about four times larger than what clinical trials have shown for traditional antidepressants on the market,” said Davis. “Because most other depression treatments take weeks or months to work and may have undesirable effects, this could be a game changer if these findings hold up in future ‘gold-standard’ placebo-controlled clinical trials.”
Cybind is at the forefront of companies conducting clinical trials and is entering phase 2 of its clinical study of sublingual psilocybin for the potential treatment of MDD at the beginning of 2021. The study’s objectives are to determine the appropriate dosing, evaluate clinical efficacy, and assess the safety and tolerability of psilocybin.
The company seeks to partner with esteemed individuals and institutions leading the way in the research and development of pharmaceutical uses of psilocybin. This desire led to a partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science (“TCPS”) where some of the first academic research on micro dosing was published (https://ibn.fm/PI0t1). Both Cybin and TCPS have high standards for scientific rigor and transparency. CYBN believes that newly discoverable data from psychedelic studies can potentially create an entirely new marketplace of safe and effective drugs.

VistaGen (NASDAQ: VTGN), a biopharmaceutical company developing new generation medicines for anxiety, depression and other central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, today announced that VistaGen Vice President, Translational Medicine Dr. Louis Monti and VistaGen CNS Clinical and Regulatory Advisory Board Member Dr. Michael Liebowitz authored an article published in CNS Spectrums, a Cambridge University Press journal. The article covers the proposed mechanism of action of VistaGen’s investigational neuroactive nasal sprays, PH94B and PH10, currently in development as potential rapid-onset treatments for anxiety and depression disorders.* The publication details the proposed neural circuits mediating the mechanism of action of pherines, including PH94B and PH10, which are synthetic neuroactive steroids designed to engage nasal chemosensory receptors and produce rapid-onset anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. “PH94B and PH10 were discovered and developed for their specific therapeutic potential to treat anxiety and depression disorders, representing a new class of neuropharmaceuticals,” said Dr. Monti. “When current anxiolytics and antidepressants drugs are administered systemically, milligram-level doses of the drugs are often needed to achieve the desired therapeutic effects. In contrast, with the innovative pharmacology of PH94B and PH10, we believe only microgram-level doses administered intranasally onto the receptors in the nasal passage are required to achieve the desired neural activity.”

- Investor relations teams have witnessed radical change in ongoing responsibilities over past few years
- No longer limited to servicing existing and potential investors, IR teams must now respond to ESG queries, engage with both debt investors and credit rating agencies
- Increased responsibilities have led to heightened need for supplemental tools to assist with influx of new data, to complement ongoing IR efforts
- Sequire’s investor intelligence platform has partnered with publicly listed corporations to help provide further insight, assistance during investor engagement efforts
Investor relations (“IR”) teams have opted to refocus their strategy in what has been an unusual year for corporations across the world, seeking to emphasize both strategic engagement with existing shareholders as well as attraction of new potential investors. IR executives have also been drawn to advising corporations on their adherence towards emerging Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) standards, while simultaneously maintaining and improving engagement with debt investors and ratings agencies alike. The consequent and extraordinary increase in role responsibilities and data requirements has worked in the favor of SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a financial technology company focused on unlocking data and insights for publicly traded companies through Sequire, its proprietary investor intelligence platform. The platform has enjoyed a remarkable increase in demand for its services as of late, as IR teams seek to increase investor engagement during ongoing unprecedented global business conditions.
A recent investor relations-focused survey carried out by the Bank of New York Mellon (https://ibn.fm/SxbnT) found that engagement with existing and prospective institutional investors continued to be a top priority for corporate management and IR teams alike, with the latter group devoting 38 percent of their time to existing shareholders while spending a further 25.5 percent catering to prospective investors. However, in a sign of the shifting priorities of the investment community, over 71.3 percent of IR respondents declared that communicating with investors on ESG and Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) issues was now an extension to their ongoing responsibilities.
Corporate IR teams have increasingly shifted towards adopting digital solutions and the data garnered from such mediums as a way of managing the increased demands on their time while simultaneously improving engagement with investors and stakeholders. The sharp uptick in demand for investor data and digital technologies had been mirrored by engagement levels witnessed on SRAX’s Sequire platform. Launched as a stand-alone platform in early 2020, Sequire today boasts over 1 million investors and traders on its platform as well as 91 publicly-listed corporate subscribers (https://ibn.fm/9Aqey) – a surge of growth largely driven by Sequire’s extensive range of services.
Sequire’s investor intelligence platform allows its subscribers to track their shareholders’ selling and buying trends, search and monitor key investors, track outstanding warrants, receive the latest company-specific news and media, and even create and send out customized shareholder surveys designed to elicit their stake-holders’ insights and opinions (https://ibn.fm/Pv2ma).
Perhaps most critically, Sequire allows IR teams to compensate for activities which have been supplanted due to the increased demands on their time. The BNY Mellon survey showed that in 2017, IR teams would spend 26.4 percent of their time catering to prospective institutional investors – a figure which would be reduced to only 25.5 percent by 2019.
Sequire’s management illustrated the platform’s potential to make up for what would traditionally have been a key task for investor relation teams. In one example, a single corporate subscriber using Sequire witnessed its number of individual shareholders skyrocket from 3,000 to over 360,000 during its tenure on the platform.
The investor relations function at publicly listed corporations has undergone a dramatic transformation as of late – with increased regulatory burdens and social distancing leading to a heightened need for both investor intelligence platforms as well as digital distribution channels to facilitate investor communications. Sequire has sought to transform its platform to cater to the growing needs of the IR community, placing it in good stead to benefit from the ongoing evolution of investor relations.
