Mainz Biomed’s (NASDAQ: MYNZ) ColoFuture Study Reveals “Groundbreaking Results”: ColoAlert® Raises The Bar For Colorectal Cancer Detection

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Throughout the world, colorectal cancer has emerged as the third most prevalent form of cancer. Traditionally observed in individuals aged 45 and above, this malignancy is now displaying a troubling trend of affecting younger individuals. Startling data indicates a consistent increase in newly diagnosed cases of colorectal cancer among those under the age of 50 over the past few decades. In fact, the National Cancer Institute reports that colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related deaths for Americans aged 20 to 59 years old. Despite these alarming statistics, routine colorectal cancer screenings for younger adults remain relatively uncommon due to its perceived rarity within this age group. Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ), a company that specializes in developing molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for life-threatening conditions, has created ColoAlert®, an innovative product that addresses the need for easier and more accessible cancer screenings for quick detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. This non-invasive and user-friendly test aims to make colorectal cancer screening fast, simple and precise. The company reports that the test is the first DNA-based screening test for colorectal cancer in Europe. Mainz recently announced significant advancements with the presentation of its highly anticipated ColoFuture Study results. Originally slated for presentation at the 4th International Conference on Gastroenterology in Paris, the event has been rescheduled from October to December, and Mainz Biomed, in collaboration with the Conference leadership, decided to align the release of the ColoFuture results with the original conference timeline. The ColoFuture study, a comprehensive multinational clinical trial, evaluated the potential integration of innovative gene expression biomarkers (mRNA) into the company's cutting-edge screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC) called ColoAlert. The company reports that this test, which is currently being introduced to markets across Europe and select international regions, has proven to be highly effective and user-friendly. The groundbreaking study results that were presented showcased the following findings: a 94% sensitivity for colorectal cancer (CRC), 97% specificity, and an 80% sensitivity for advanced adenoma (AA). These outcomes reinforce Mainz Biomed's commitment to delivering innovative advancements in cancer detection, and the company reports that they beat competitors whose AA hovers around the 40% number. As the company looks towards the future, it seems to be dedicated to enhancing its portfolio of diagnostic solutions and expanding its presence in global markets. Mainz Biomed also recently announced Tarrin Khairi-Taraki as the Vice President of Commercial Operations, EMEA. Tarrin’s appointment marks an important milestone in Mainz Biomed’s journey towards continued success. As Vice President, Tarrin will be tasked with the commercialization of the company's flagship product, ColoAlert. In his new role, Tarrin will bring his vast expertise and experience to Mainz Biomed's global teams, with a particular focus on driving sales growth and expanding the company's footprint throughout the EMEA region. With his successful track record in sales management and commercial operations at leading life sciences organizations like Alutia (NASDAW: ELUT), Tarrin is poised to advance the company's strategic goals by identifying and executing new market opportunities. His leadership will be instrumental in accelerating Mainz Biomed's growth trajectory and enhancing its impact on the global cancer detection market. “I am thrilled to welcome Tarrin to the Mainz Biomed team,” commented Darin Leigh, Chief Commercial Officer at Mainz Biomed. “With his highly-impressive track record and wealth of experience in the medical diagnostic field, I am confident he’ll play a crucial role in propelling our continued success in the commercialization of ColoAlert®.” With the appointment of Tarrin and the release of data showing efficacy, Mainz Biomed seems poised to disrupt the market and establish itself as a trusted and innovative provider of molecular genetic diagnostic solutions. The company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of diagnostic technology and growth trajectory seems to be making it a force to be reckoned with in the industry, setting it apart from its competitors.

From Coal To Renewables: Altius Minerals

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Altius Minerals Corporation (OTCQX: ATUSF) (TSX: ALS), a Canadian diversified royalty company, is positioning itself strategically in the energy sector by transitioning from thermal coal to renewable energy royalties. This shift not only aligns with the global push towards decarbonization but also reflects the economic advantages of renewable energy on the grid. Altius Minerals acquired its first portfolio of royalties (after buying a single royalty in 2003) in late 2013. The portfolio included royalties on Canada’s world-leading potash mines in Saskatchewan, but the seller of the portfolio bundled the potash royalties with coal royalties on Alberta thermal coal mines. In 2015, both the Alberta and Canadian federal governments made announcements to significantly accelerate the phase-out of coal-fired electricity. This meant that mines (and Altius’s associated royalty) that were originally expected to run until 2055 received a government mandate to end by 2030. This represented a significant loss of potential royalty revenue to Altius – but also caused management to evaluate how best to evolve as a company. Altius recognized the need to divest from thermal coal and seize the opportunities presented by the growing renewable energy industry, and the company has taken an active stance in an industry that is often criticized for its contribution to climate change. The company’s move towards renewable energy was accelerated in 2019 when Altius acquired Great Bay Renewables, a private U.S. renewable energy company, to form a renewable energy royalty company. In 2020, Altius attracted prominent private equity player Apollo as a joint venture partner in its renewable energy business. This partnership signaled the growing interest and confidence in the renewable energy sector. Subsequently, in 2021, Altius successfully completed an initial public offering (IPO) for its renewable energy royalty vehicle, now known as Altius Renewable Royalties (OTCQX: ATRWF) (TSX: ARR). Altius is a royalty company that, unlike most of its competitors, has very little gold royalty exposure. Although gold has properties that make it uniquely adaptable for uses including medical and technology applications, its main demand source is jewelry and coins. Contrast that with copper, which, along with potash, makes up Altius’s main exposures. Altius has always pursued large, global end-use markets that address global sustainability problems. Most of the royalty revenue comes from potash, electrification battery metals and iron ore for green steel, along with their core holding in subsidiary ARR. These markets align with multiple UN sustainable development goals, such as eradicating poverty, ensuring renewable energy, responsible procurement and more. This strategic focus aligns with the values of stakeholders who believe in these goals. As a publicly listed company, ARR currently holds 33 royalties on wind, solar and soon-to-be battery storage projects in the United States. This extensive portfolio potentially positions ARR as a key player in the renewable energy royalties industry. Additionally, ARR has a robust 15 GW pipeline, showcasing its potential for future growth and expansion. The market for renewable energy royalties could be massive. With the increasing global focus on transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy sources, investments in wind, solar and other renewable energy projects are expected to soar. According to Allied Market Research, the global renewable energy market was valued at $881.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $1.9 trillion by 2030. Renewable energy royalties, in particular, have recently emerged as a growing segment of the renewable energy industry. As countries and corporations prioritize renewable energy to combat climate change and achieve sustainability goals, the demand for investments in this sector will likely continue to grow. Altius Minerals, with its focus on diversified minerals royalties, recognized this emerging market trend and strategically made its foray into the renewable energy sector. The potential size of the renewable energy royalties industry is expected to be larger than the scope of Altius Minerals itself. The massive investments in clean energy projects worldwide, coupled with the growing number of companies and investors involved in renewable energy royalties, indicate that the market has significant potential for expansion. Altius Minerals' strategic shift from coal royalties to renewable energy royalties through the formation of ARR demonstrates the company's adaptability and foresight in capitalizing on the potentially shifting landscape of the energy sector. With its IPO and an extensive portfolio of wind, solar and soon battery storage royalties, ARR seems well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for renewable energy as the global transition to clean energy continues to gain momentum.

Risk Ledger secures £6.25m to prevent cyber attacks on the supply chains of nation’s largest enterprises

Risk Ledger

Organisations have been laser focussed on protecting their own networks, applications, physical premises and people against cyber security attacks but have neglected their exposure to suppliers. Indeed, over the past 3 years, a staggering 73% of organisations have been affected by a third-party security breach. Helping these businesses toughen their resilience against such attacks, cyber security business Risk Ledger is today announcing it has raised a £6.25 million series A funding round to strengthen supply chains. The funding round was led by UK investor Mercia Ventures, which joins Seedcamp, Firstminute Capital, Episode 1, Village Global as well as Finnish VC Lifeline Ventures as investors. To date, Risk Ledger has raised a total of £9.8 million in venture funding. Recent cyber attacks on The Metropolitan Police and NHS Trusts through their supply chains have the potential to compromise the UK’s national security and private citizen data. A threat alert by the National Cyber Security Centre is also warning of increased state-sponsored attacks against UK critical national infrastructure. Supply chain attacks are on the rise, and can have severe impacts, as the Solarwinds, Log4J, and MOVEit Transfer attacks have shown. According to recent research by KPMG, 73% of the surveyed organisations had experienced at least one significant disruption, caused by a third party, within the last three years, while 85% said that their business considers third party risk management (TPRM) a strategic priority. The cost of global supply chain attacks is expected to reach $46 billion this year (Juniper Research). Organisations are increasingly trusting others with critical business functions and sensitive data, meaning vulnerabilities can appear anywhere in the supply chain, from suppliers to partners. Traditional, point in time cyber security risk assessments make for poor quality data that goes out of date fast, offering little protection. Risk Ledger offers an innovative social network approach to supply chain risk management, allowing organisations to use the platform as both clients and suppliers, able to share with connected organisations a single profile of their controls across 12 security domains, including ESG and financial risk. This reveals relationships in many directions and allows for a unique visualisation of the entire supply chain ecosystem, and the uncovering of critical interdependencies, concentration risks and single points of failure well beyond immediate third party connections. It also results in more accurate and real time data, giving organisations the ability to make better decisions to protect their business from supply chain threats. Haydn Brooks, co-founder and CEO, at Risk Ledger commented: “The unique ability of Risk Ledger to map relationships and interdependencies in the supply chain allows organisations to understand where they sit within their own supplier ecosystem and how different incidents may impact their organisation given those interdependencies.” Risk Ledger has seen rapid adoption over the past two years and today counts over 5,000 organisations with 17,000 users across large public sector and financial services organisations as customers. Client bookings have consistently doubled year on year, or more, since the company launched its platform in 2020. Risk Ledger's growing international client base includes many organisations in sensitive sectors such as critical national infrastructure, financial services and the public sector, which face particular regulatory scrutiny and need to demonstrate how they effectively limit the risks emanating from their suppliers. Speaking about the value Risk Ledger provides, the former Divisional Information Security Officer at the UK Health Security Agency, David Malkin, stated that “Risk Ledger provides us with a more holistic, real time view of our complex supply chain, helping to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities and issues early.” The new funding will fuel future product development to equip Risk Ledger’s clients with tools to combat supply chain security attacks and allow Risk Ledger to deepen partnerships within key industries. Mercia Ventures invested from its Northern Venture Capital Trust (VCT) funds. Adam Lovell of Mercia Ventures added: “Third-party risk is a major security concern for companies as it’s a factor over which they traditionally have little control. Risk Ledger offers an exciting new approach to third-party risk management. Haydn and Daniel have made remarkable progress in developing the business to date and have a very clear view of the way forward. We are delighted to support their ambitious growth plans.” Risk Ledger’s mission is to build a global network of connected organisations all working together to defend-as-one, detecting, responding, and ultimately preventing cyber attacks in real-time. Risk Ledger aims to enhance security through collaboration and the exchange of information. Haydn Brooks added: “As we push forwards towards our vision, our platform will open up new capabilities within supply chain security. Integrations and future product releases will allow organisations to both understand and react to security incidents in their supply chain, reducing the impact of such incidents and ultimately leading to a more resilient world.” About Risk Ledger Risk Ledger, the winner of the Financial Times’ Tech Champion 2022 Award, is a collaborative platform for supplier due diligence that helps organisations identify, visualise, and mitigate supply chain security risk. The Risk Ledger network connects organisations together to defend-as-one, detecting, responding, and ultimately preventing cyber attacks in real-time. Haydn Brooks and Daniel Saul, the Co-Founders of Risk Ledger, were named on the Forbes 30 under 30 Europe list of business leaders to watch.
