Direxion Closing Three ETFs

Direxion

Due to their inability to attract sufficient investment assets, the Board of Trustees of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust has decided to liquidate and close three ETFs (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), based on the recommendation of the Funds’ adviser, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC. The Board concluded that liquidating and closing the Funds would be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. The Funds closing are as follows: The Funds will cease trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE”) and will be closed to purchase by investors as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on July 19, 2024 (the “Closing Date”). The Funds will not accept purchase orders after the Closing Date. Shareholders may sell their holdings in a Fund prior to the Closing Date and customary brokerage charges may apply to these transactions. However, from July 19, 2024 through July 30, 2024 (the “Liquidation Date”) shareholders may only be able to sell their shares to certain broker-dealers and there is no assurance that there will be a market for a Fund’s shares during this time period. From June 21, 2024 until the Liquidation Date, each Fund will be in the process of closing down and liquidating its portfolio. This process will result in a Fund increasing its cash holdings and, as a consequence, not tracking its underlying index, which is inconsistent with each Fund’s investment objective and strategy. On or about the Liquidation Date, each Fund will liquidate its assets and distribute cash pro rata to all shareholders who have not previously redeemed or sold their shares. These distributions are taxable events. In addition, these payments to shareholders may include accrued capital gains and dividends. As calculated on the Liquidation Date, each Fund’s net asset value will reflect the costs of closing the Fund. Once the distributions are complete, the Funds will terminate.

Leveraged and Inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying index over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing.

To obtain a prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Direxion Shares Risks - An investment in the ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The ETFs are non-diversified and include risks associated with concentration that results from an ETF’s investments in a particular industry or sector, which can increase volatility. The leveraged and inverse ETF utilize derivatives, such as futures contracts and swaps which are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. The leveraged and inverse ETFs do not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of their respective index for periods other than a single day. The leveraged and inverse ETFs may also subject to leverage, correlation, daily compounding, market volatility and risks specific to an industry or sector. The non-leveraged ETFs are subject to certain risks, including imperfect index correlation and market price variance, which may decrease performance. The non-leveraged ETFs may invest in a relatively small number of issuers and, as a result, be subject to greater risk of loss with respect to its portfolio securities. The non-leveraged ETFs may experience greater fluctuation in its net asset value as compared to other investments. The non-leveraged ETFs may be appropriate for investors with a long-term investment time horizon, who primarily seek capital growth, and who are able to tolerate periods of prolonged price declines. Please read each ETF’s prospectus for a more complete description of the investment risks. There is no guarantee that an ETF will achieve its investment objective.

EuroPacific Metals Expands Drilling Program at Miguel Vacas Mine

Europacific Metals Inc

EuroPacific Metals CEO Karim Rayani joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the expansion of the company's drill program at the Miguel Vacas mine area. The expansion includes an additional drill hole extending down to 350 meters, targeting the high-grade zone below the fourth hole where the company previously intersected a mineralized section. This new hole will also target a section approximately 80 meters north, where the results of the first hole showed 22.8 meters grading 2.76% copper, including 9.0 meters grading 7.49% copper. Rayani explained that a decision was made to extend the drilling program by adding an undercut inclined 350-meter hole to test the "fresh" mineralization below the oxidized rich material in the same section as hole EBMV004, which revealed a wide mineralized section. The mineralized system at Miguel Vacas extends at least 2 kilometers along strike and remains open at depth. It includes an 80-meter supergene blanket containing a suite of copper carbonates, phosphates, and oxides, which gradually transitions to a sulphide assemblage primarily composed of chalcopyrite and pyrite. To date, the company has completed 10 holes at the Miguel Vacas copper deposit, totaling 1,060 meters. This expanded drilling program underscores EuroPacific Metals' commitment to thoroughly exploring and developing the Miguel Vacas mine area, aiming to uncover substantial copper resources and enhance the project's overall value.

Fathom Nickel Secures Permits for Expanded Exploration at Gochager Lake Project

Fathom Nickel Inc

Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has secured all necessary permits to advance its exploration activities at the Gochager Lake project. This project, which hosts an historic NI43-101 non-compliant open-pit resource consisting of 4.3 million tons at 0.295% nickel and 0.081% copper, will now see significant development. The newly acquired permits enable Fathom Nickel to drill up to 60 drill holes and construct an all-season, 25-person camp. Additionally, the company has received permission to use temporary "fly camps" during the summer-fall field season. These camps will support site-specific airborne geophysical anomaly follow-ups, mapping and prospecting, soil geochemistry, and site-specific geophysical surveys. The exploration permit is valid for two years, expiring in 2026. Fraser also shared that the company mobilized field crews last week to begin a soil geochemical survey. The objective is to define a soil geochemical signature associated with the Gochager Lake deposit and use this signature to locate additional similar deposits. Detailed mapping, prospecting, and soil geochemical sampling will focus on areas of conductivity identified through surface time-domain electromagnetic surveys conducted last season. Moreover, the company plans to conduct a detailed drone-MAG survey over the historic Gochager Lake deposit area, covering approximately 385 line-kilometers. These advancements mark a pivotal step in Fathom Nickel's exploration strategy, underscoring the company's commitment to expanding its resource base and uncovering new mineral deposits at Gochager Lake.

Mainz Biomed’s ColoAlert Potentially Puts It On A Similar Track As Big Name Cancer Screening Stocks

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to screening for colorectal cancer, Mainz Biomed NV (NASDAQ: MYNZ) and Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ: EXAS) have a lot in common. Both are overhauling the screening market for a cancer that kills 50,000 people each year. And both are doing it without an invasive test that requires hours of uncomfortable prep. Exact Sciences, which makes Cologuard and Mainz Biomed, which makes ColoAlert, are trailblazing with their at-home cancer screening tests. Cologuard in the U.S. and ColoAlert in Europe. Take ColoAlert for starters. It spots bleeding and non-bleeding tumors through tumor DNA analysis, offering what the company says is a better early detection than fecal occult blood tests. That’s important since almost all colorectal cancers develop from polyps that grow over time. The longer the polyps are present, the higher the risk of them becoming cancerous, which is why early screening has the potential to dramatically impact treatment and prevention. Caught early, the survival rate after five years is 90% for colorectal cancer. Exact Sciences’ Cologuard looks for colorectal neoplasia-associated DNA markers and for the presence of occult hemoglobin in human stool. It, too, says its screening technology is better at detecting colorectal cancer than blood tests. Similar But Different The companies both boast high accuracy rates and customer satisfaction. But that is where the similarities end. Exact Sciences dwarfs Mainz Biomed in size and sales, sporting a market cap of $7 billion to Mainz Biomed’s $12.6 million as of this writing. Exact Sciences stock, which trades at around $42 a share, has already had a runup, while Mainz Biomed, which is under $1.00 a share, is just starting out. That might not be forever, which could position Mainz to follow a similar trajectory to Exact Sciences and other diagnostics companies specializing in the detection of early-stage cancers. Exact Sciences launched Cologuard in 2014, becoming the first DNA test for colorectal cancer in the U.S. Since then, it has expanded into other cancers and its stock and business have taken off. Mainz has been in the market since 2018 and sales have been growing at double digits since then. Revenue for ColoAlert increased 69% year-over-year in 2023 and more growth is expected this year and beyond. ColoAlert Coming To The U.S. Mainz Biomed has already made a name for itself in Europe and is gearing up to bring ColoAlert to the U.S. ColoAlert is currently under evaluation by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the U.S. as part of its ReconAAsense clinical study of about 15,000 subjects from 150 sites across the United States. The results of the study, which is pivotal for FDA approval, are expected next year. Once approved, MYNZ says it plans to establish scalable distribution through a collaborative partner program with regional and national laboratory service providers across the country. If it does get the nod from the FDA, it could prove to be a catalyst for the company’s growth. It shouldn’t prove difficult given ColoAlert’s accuracy and ease of use. The company says ColoAlert detects 85% of colorectal cancer cases, often in the very early stages of the disease. A recent multicentric study of 566 patients simultaneously using the occult blood test, M2-PK test and ColoAlert, found ColoAlert, with a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 92%, was the most accurate test result among the non-invasive screening methods. The company plans to engage in further testing to validate the effectiveness of its screening over what’s already available in the market. “Combined DNA stool assay represents a reliable assay for detecting colorectal cancer, sufficient to be recommended as a supplement to colonoscopy screening,” the study researchers reported. Big Opportunity On The Horizon Then there is the market opportunity. As it stands, 37 million people in the U.S. get screened for rectal cancer each year. That could increase to 52 million per year within ten years as the population ages. In the United States there are 112 million people 50+, which is expected to increase to 157 million in the next decade. Of the U.S. population between 50 and 75, about 40% have never been screened. While the common practice is to start the screening at 50, the Food and Drug Administration says screening should start at age 45 and be conducted every three years. If that guidance is followed, it presents an even bigger opportunity for ColoAlert. All told, Mainz pegs the U.S. opportunity at $4 billion and the European market opportunity at $6 billion. Colorectal cancer is deadly but it doesn’t have to be. Companies like Exact Sciences and Mainz Biomed are turning the market on its head with their at-home screening tests. While Exact Sciences dwarfs Mainz in size, Mainz has a lot of potential, especially if it gets approval to sell its test in the U.S. With that coming down the pike, Mainz is a story worth keeping an eye on.

“One Of The Most Significant Developments In Rapid In Vitro Diagnostics Since Its Invention” Says Gemina Labs CEO About Company’s Revolutionary Technology

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Gemina Laboratories (CNSX: GLAB), the biosensor and diagnostic company focused on rapid testing for respiratory and other pathogens that affect human health and wellness, is making waves in the diagnostics sector thanks to its cutting-edge, next-gen technology. Under the leadership of CEO Brian Firth, formerly COO of Swiss Precision Diagnostics and makers of the Clear Blue Pregnancy Test, Gemina Laboratories says it is poised to transform the landscape of rapid testing for respiratory diseases and beyond. It’s a big market opportunity, given chronic respiratory disease was the third-leading cause of death in 2019. Rapid testing for it and other pathogens can reduce the spread of life-threatening illnesses and help people get treated faster. Breakthrough In Point-Of-Care Diagnostics Gemina Labs specializes in the development of unique binding technologies for the Point-of-Care (PoC) diagnostic industry. Utilizing their proprietary chemistry, Gemina's innovations reduce production costs and improve the accuracy and the useability of diagnostic tests. The company’s "game-changing" chemistry is not only reserved for its own products. Gemina Labs is also licensing it to other producers to incorporate into their lateral flow technologies. "Our chemistry is one of the most significant developments in rapid in vitro diagnostics since its invention. It reduces production costs and improves accuracy," says Firth. Expanding Horizons And Industry Impact Gemina Labs is in growth mode, pursuing its vision to make affordable, rapid and lab-accurate PoC diagnostics available worldwide. The company’s cutting-edge technology and R&D capabilities have drawn significant attention from leading biochemists, healthcare professionals, academics and business leaders globally, including a big global diagnostics company. Gemina Labs just signed a licensing agreement with what it says is one of the leading players in the $106 billion global in vitro diagnostics market. Gemina says the agreement marks a major validation of its technology after a year of extensive scrutiny and evaluation by the diagnostics company. "This is an outstanding first for Gemina," said Firth. "We are now targeting similar licensing deals with strategic partners across the life sciences and medical device sectors to enable next-generation diagnostics with our unique suite of proprietary technologies." Financial And Commercial Implications The new partnership looks poised to have significant financial implications for both Gemina and the broader diagnostics market, thanks to Gemina’s ability to reduce the antibody requirements in lateral flow. As it stands, Gemina says the antibodies used in lateral flow cost up to $1,500 per mg. Gemina’s technology can potentially reduce that by 75%, translating into $3 billion in annual savings for the lateral flow diagnostics sector. That, says Firth, is a convincing commercial opportunity for partners. "Our diagnostic technology asset has passed rigorous testing by one of the best teams in the industry, resulting in this long-term relationship. We have previously reported how one of our technology breakthroughs saves up to 75% of antibodies used on lateral flow tests," Firth said. Future Prospects Looking ahead, Gemina Labs is strategically positioning itself for further growth through additional licensing deals and partnerships. The company’s goal is to continue expanding access to rapid, accurate diagnostics – making a positive difference in the medical, healthcare, wellness and occupational health sectors. Gemina Labs isn’t your run-of-the-mill diagnostics company. It sees itself as a transformative force with the potential to revolutionize how rapid diagnostics are developed and deployed globally. Investors and industry stakeholders may want to keep an eye on this potential rising star. Featured photo by Anastasiia Chepinska on Unsplash.
