Dragonfly Energy (NASDAQ: DFLI) Gets Foothold Into New Markets Through Massive $30M Licensing Deal With Stryten Energy

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Stryten Energy, a leading North American battery manufacturer, and Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage and manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, inked what could amount to a significant licensing agreement to use Dragonfly Energy’s Battle Born Batteries ® brand in a lineup of lithium battery products for military, automotive, marine, power sports, lawn and garden and golf cart applications. Stryten Energy, a leading manufacturer of lead-acid batteries with over 2,500 employees and ten North American battery manufacturing plants, is significantly expanding its lithium battery operations through a new agreement with Dragonfly Energy. By integrating Dragonfly Energy's advanced technology, Stryten will offer customers across various industries a more sustainable and longer-lasting power solution. The deal, which is potentially worth over $30 million in licensing fees alone, is in the early stages of what is expected to be a broader partnership. In the initial stage, Dragonfly will contract manufacture lithium battery models for Stryten and provide custom battery design services tailored to its new market needs. Leveraging Stryten's strong retail relationships, Dragonfly anticipates seeing Battle Born Batteries branded products in major big-box stores. Additionally, the plan is to expand its technical support to accommodate the anticipated surge in customer demand. Busting Into New Markets For Dragonfly Energy, the licensing agreement is a game-changer. By partnering with Stryten Energy, the company significantly expands the reach of its Battle Born Batteries brand into new and lucrative markets. This strategic move will expose the Battle Born brand to a vastly wider customer base across industries such as military, automotive, marine, power sports, lawn and garden and golf carts. This increased visibility is expected to bolster brand recognition and solidify Battle Born's position as a leading name in lithium-ion batteries. Essentially, Stryten becomes a powerful distribution channel for Dragonfly, propelling Battle Born Batteries into the mainstream consumer and commercial markets. The collaboration aims to create a one-stop shop for battery solutions, catering to the growing demand for long-lasting batteries in consumer markets. Stryten will distribute a combination of existing Battle Born Batteries produced at Dragonfly Energy’s Nevada facility and jointly develop new battery models tailored to specific market segments. Leading with Sustainability Beyond market expansion, the partnership focuses on sustainability. Stryten will leverage its existing battery recycling infrastructure to create a closed-loop system for Battle Born Batteries products, ensuring proper disposal or recycling of returned products. Stryten's proven track record in sustainable lead battery recycling will be instrumental in developing a similar circular economy for lithium batteries. This commitment to environmental responsibility not only benefits the planet but also enhances the overall value proposition for customers who can be confident that their used batteries will be handled responsibly. Just The Beginning? “Stryten Energy is investing in domestic lithium battery assembly to support its next-generation lithium battery production for military, essential power and industrial applications,” said Mike Judd, CEO and President of Stryten Energy. “This partnership creates a path for Stryten to incorporate Dragonfly Energy’s future production of lithium battery cells in North America into batteries assembled in our facilities, a critical component to establishing a strong industrial base and achieving our country’s energy independence and sustainability goals.” This aligns with the U.S. government’s push for domestic battery manufacturing and energy independence. The two companies are natural partners, given Stryten’s focus on partnering with American-made battery packs. Dragonfly Energy, hailing out of Nevada – the epicenter of lithium mining in the United States – fits that bill. Dragonfly Energy's patented dry electrode battery manufacturing technology is revolutionizing the industry. A recent third-party assessment revealed that the company's process is not only cost-competitive with China's, even before considering tariffs and incentives like the IRA tax credits, but also significantly more sustainable. By eliminating toxic solvents, reducing energy consumption and producing PFAS-free electrodes, Dragonfly Energy is setting a new standard for environmentally friendly battery production. Demand Growing For Lithium Batteries Stryten is the latest high-profile deal Dragonfly Energy has entered into in recent weeks. In early July, it announced that is now providing power solutions to Refreshment Services Pepsi, a privately held independent bottler and distributor for Pepsi-Cola® (NASDAQ: PEP). Dragonfly is providing Refreshment Services Pepsi with lithium-based liftgate power solutions, saving the bottler money and lowering emissions compared to using lead-acid batteries. The company also hosted an event with Gina Raimondo, the United States Secretary of Commerce, and Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen, during which Rosen announced a $21 million investment in Nevada’s tech hub. The program is one of many around the country focused on scaling the production of critical technologies, including lithium batteries. Dragonfly Energy was selected to host the event because of its technology and was highlighted as an example of the technological innovation happening in Nevada, a key component of the program. With a strong focus on research and development, Dragonfly Energy is driving initiatives for its patented non-toxic, deep-cycle Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries in the United States. The company has a track record of securing over 90 patents, covering various aspects of battery pack design, cell manufacturing, battery communication technology and more. The deal with Stryten Energy underscores that commitment to growth. The world is moving to a greener future and lithium batteries and companies like Dragonfly Energy are playing an important role in that. With demand poised to increase and with Dragonfly Energy innovating on the lithium battery front, this deal could grow into more as the company continues on its path – and more deals may be coming.

Theriva Biologics Advances Its Product Pipeline To Improve Survival Rates For Many Difficult-To-Treat Cancers

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga According to Cancer Research UK, "Cancer survival has doubled in the last 40 years, but progress hasn’t been equal across all types of the disease." Their research shows that survival rates of some forms of brain tumors and pancreatic cancers have barely improved in that time. One company has made it its mission to change that. Theriva TM Biologics Has A Novel Approach To Address Difficult-To-Treat Cancers Theriva Biologics (AMEX: TOVX) is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, and its clinical research efforts span the Atlantic. Theriva is a leader in the development of oncolytic virus therapies – treating cancer with viruses that target tumors. The company recently announced positive results from one of its several ongoing clinical trials. Theriva’s oncolytic viruses are designed to address a wide range of difficult-to-treat tumor types. “Solid tumors are complex organ-like structures consisting of cancer cells, vasculature, and tumor matrix,” said Steven A. Shallcross, CEO of Theriva. He added that “this dense extracellular matrix, also known as stroma, hampers the intratumoral accessibility of chemotherapy, making them hard to treat.” And these are the challenges that Theriva seeks to address in a number of clinical trials. How Theriva Focuses Specific Oncolytic Viruses To Treat Various Cancers Theriva says its viruses have the potential to treat a broad range of difficult-to-treat tumor types. Their leading candidate, VCN-01, is a stroma-degrading oncolytic virus. It is intended to break down the tumor’s protective barrier and improve tumor access by co-administered cancer therapies and the patient’s immune system. It may be combined with other types of cancer therapies to treat a number of tumor types. Theriva has reported encouraging results from clinical trials in pancreatic cancer (PDAC), retinoblastoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Ongoing clinical trials conducted in collaboration with the School of Medicine at the University of Leeds in England and the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine are evaluating VCN-01 in other difficult to treat cancers.. Theriva’s additional next generation oncolytic viruses such as VCN-11, which incorporates the novel Albumin Shield technology, are in preclinical development in collaboration with researchers from at the Institut d’Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge ( I DIBELL) and the Catalan Institute of Oncology ( ICO ). These studies are being conducted to determine safe dosage protocols and assess potential toxicity issues. The data from the tests will help inform clinical trial plans and other important aspects of product development programs. In conjunction with Washington University in St. Louis, Theriva is also investigating an approach to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a common and serious immune complication in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Allo-HCT, commonly known as bone marrow transplantation, is used to treat hematologic cancers, which begin in blood-forming tissue or immune system cells. Theriva’s oral β-lactamase (SYN-004), is an antibiotic-degrading enzyme being evaluated as a way to prevent aGVHD and other serious side effects caused by extensive use of antibiotics in these high-risk patients.. Addressing Difficult-To-Treat Cancers Represents Significant Commercial Opportunity The various types of solid tumors that Theriva’s oncolytic virus therapies treat represent a global commercial opportunity that could be as large as $532 billion by 2032, according to Precedence Research. Other analysts estimate the global market will be over $885 billion by 2033. Grand View Research estimates the global retinoblastoma treatment market will reach more than $3.3 billion by 2030. In its estimate of the growing market for treating the disease, Grand View attributes growing advancements in medical technology and the rising incidence of retinoblastoma. Theriva Has High Hopes For Its Therapies In a poster presented at the 2024 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the principal investigator and country coordinator of Theriva’s main clinical site in Spain, Dr. Rocio Garcia-Carbonero detailed the clinical trial design for the VIRAGE Phase 2b clinical trial of VCN-01 when administered to PDAC patients in combination with standard of care chemotherapy. In a recent interview, Garcia-Carbonero noted that metastatic PDAC has a high fatality rate despite recent treatment advancements. While the field has seen minimal improvement in standard care for decades, she said that she has “high hopes for VCN-01 due to its unique mechanism of action, which differs from traditional chemotherapy. VCN-01 aims to induce a robust immune response against the cancer.” More information about Theriva’s oncolytic virus therapies is available on the company’s website.

Copper Is Having a Resurgence Thanks To Renewable Energy And EV Push, And World Copper Is Positioning Itself To Benefit

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga There’s been a lot of excitement lately around the new highs gold has been achieving, but another metal also seems to be witnessing a resurgence – copper. So much so that, by some estimates, 2035 demand is forecast to outstrip supply to the tune of 22 billion pounds per year. Driving a lot of that demand are the renewable energy and electric vehicles sectors, and the general global push toward electrification. The world is moving toward a greener future and copper is helping get it there. Over the next decade, copper consumption is forecast to increase by a minimum of ten million metric tons. It's already in a tight supply environment, which drove copper prices to a two-year high earlier this year. All of it is good news for World Copper Ltd. (OTC: WCUFF), the Vancouver-based miner that happens to have a copper mining project in Arizona, a state rich in the “eternal metal.” In the early 20th century, Arizona was the world’s copper mining capital. Today it is responsible for about 74% of the country’s copper. It is home to some of the world’s largest copper mines including Morenci Mine, owned by Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX). All told, there are ten major copper mines in the state. World Copper’s proximity to these mines should bode well for the company’s position and future growth. “Copper's essential role in electrification, renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicles underscores its strategic importance,” wrote StockResearch Today in a recent report looking at World Copper’s prospects. “Copper prices are projected to remain strong due to supply constraints and increasing demand, which can drive up copper prices and, consequently, the company's profitability. Strategically Located Mine World Copper’s Zonia project, which is in the Walnut Grove Mining District, Yavapai County, Arizona, consists of 96 patented and 185 unpatented mineral claims, 566.85 acres of surface rights acquired from the state of Arizona and 376 acres purchased from a private estate – all totaling 4,373 acres. Zonia is a near-surface, copper-oxide resource and a brownfield site having already been pre-stripped and mined in the late 1960s and '70s. The project has been significantly de-risked with over 50,000 meters of drilling completed to date and with substantial amounts of detailed engineering completed. The Zonia project's most recent mineral resource estimate includes 75.7 million short tons grading 0.30% total copper (Indicated Resources) containing 450.5 million pounds of copper and 122 million short tons grading 0.24% total copper (Inferred Resources) containing 575.4 million pounds of copper. With a favorable NPV of $192 million at $3.00/lb copper and resource expansion potential, Zonia represents a low-risk, high-reward investment, World Copper says. Furthermore, World Copper recently identified a new opportunity at the mine, finding what could amount to over 14 million tons of historically mined material available for re-processing. "The prospect of re-processing historically mined mineralized material would add more value and provide additional upside to the Zonia Project, and it is a unique potential value opportunity,” said Gord Neal, CEO of World Copper. “In mining projects, any opportunity to start production early and to generate revenue right from the start of the operations, can greatly improve the economics of the project, increasing the net present value (NPV) and reducing the financing needs, making the project more robust, and lowering the execution risk." A Green Edge The Zonia mine boasts several infrastructure advantages including on-site power and water, road and rail access, close proximity to major cities and existing mining operations, which brings down production and transportation costs. Arizona is also a mining-friendly state making it easier to obtain permits. Proximity and infrastructure aren’t the only advantages World Copper can boast of – the company also has an environmentally friendly and cost-effective mining process. As it stands, World Copper estimates that 85% of global refined copper production comes from sulphide concentration and smelting. It's expensive, slow to develop and harmful to the environment. Only 15% of global refined copper production comes from oxide deposits, which are cheaper, faster and greener. World Copper is among the handful of miners using oxide deposits. But that’s not all. Its SX-EW (solvent extraction-electrowinning) process eliminates the need for smelting, lowering emissions. All told, World Copper is cutting costs and curbing emissions by 38%. The goal is to achieve net zero CO2 emissions. Mining companies are being put under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable mining practices, and embracing them increases the company’s appeal to ESG-focused investors. Seasoned Management Team It shouldn’t be too surprising that World Copper says the Zonia project is moving along hiccup-free – the company is run by a seasoned team of professionals led by CEO Neal. Neal has extensive experience in the metals and mining sector, as well as in capital markets, corporate governance, corporate finance and investor relations. Board members Derek White, who has over 35 years of experience in senior management and mine building, and Myron Smith, who has successfully permitted multiple mining projects in Arizona, round out the pedigree, which includes several other C-suite players. World Copper says its experienced team enables it to efficiently navigate project development, regulatory challenges and market dynamics, increasing the likelihood of project success and value creation for investors. Copper is playing an important role in the world’s transition to green energy and World Copper is positioning itself to be a major supplier of the eternal metal. With a mine strategically located in Arizona, a green and low-cost approach and a deep management bench, World Copper may prove to be an ESG holding that’s around for the long haul.

SUN.io Launches SUN DAO to Enhance Decentralized Governance and Drive Ecosystem Innovation

SUN

Singapore,July 30, 2024, 12:00 PM - SUN.io, a leading DeFi platform built on the TRON blockchain, is thrilled to announce the launch of SUN DAO. This strategic initiative aims to enhance SUN.io's decentralized governance and community autonomy. By expanding the real-world use cases of the SUN token, SUN DAO will support the development and long-term governance of the SUN.io protocol. At its core, SUN DAO relies on its protocol functions and the SUN token for security. These functions, which include community engagement, incentive measures, self-regulation, and policy management, are governed through on-chain proposals. The SUN token will be integral to this governance process, integrating and digitizing various forms of capital, such as monetary and human resources, and encouraging active participation from community members in governance and proposals. With the introduction of SUN DAO, SUN.io will transition to a fully decentralized governance model, empowering community members to participate actively in the platform's voting and decision-making processes. Industry experts believe that SUN DAO will redefine decentralized governance, setting new benchmarks in the DeFi ecosystem for transparency, fairness, and innovation. Explore New Horizons in Decentralized Governance with SUN DAO SUN DAO leverages innovative incentive mechanisms and a tiered governance structure to establish a future-proof governance model, ensuring the long-term success of the SUN.io protocol. This approach is designed to drive continuous growth and improvement, maintaining the platform's relevance and effectiveness for decades to come. Under the current system, SUN holders can collectively manage the protocol and vote on proposals by converting their tokens into veSUN. Community members with a specified amount of veSUN holdings can submit proposals. For a proposal to be executed, it must receive a minimum number of yes votes and have more yes votes than no votes. This mechanism ensures efficient governance without third-party intervention, allowing the protocol to operate, manage, and develop autonomously according to predefined rules, thereby maximizing efficiency. The SUN token plays a crucial role in this process, digitizing and tokenizing all organizational elements, integrating both monetary and human capital, and significantly enhancing overall efficiency. According to the SUN.io team, the SUN token economy is designed to foster the healthy development and growth of the SUN.io ecosystem in the long term, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders under a robust protocol. SUN.io has introduced economic incentives based on the trust established by SUN DAO, including mutual trust among SUN token holders, the market, liquidity providers, and integrators. These liquidity-based governance approaches aim to sustain active participation in the voting process and expand the pools as the ecosystem grows and attracts more participants. Fostering Innovation on SUN.io to Unlock Diverse veSUN Use Cases The official launch of SUN DAO will significantly expand the use cases of its vote escrow mechanism, veSUN, encouraging greater participation from community users and driving further innovation and development across the SUN.io ecosystem. Users can lock up SUN tokens to receive veSUN, the voting certificate that grants them a voice in platform governance. Those holding a certain amount of veSUN can submit governance proposals to support new markets, add functionalities to the protocol, and more. Other veSUN holders can vote on the proposals while enjoying benefits such as liquidity mining boosts, votes to determine the weights of liquidity pools and 50% of transaction fees in stablecoin pools. Industry experts believe that adopting autonomous governance will revitalize the SUN.io ecosystem. By decentralizing community governance, users gain greater flexibility in resource allocation and can contribute valuable insights for development and improvement. This approach unites community efforts to drive product iteration and fosters a stronger sense of belonging and responsibility among members. By introducing a decentralized, multi-tiered governance framework powered by an incentivized system, SUN DAO motivates community members to propose innovative ideas and solutions, ensuring active participation in the voting process. By attracting new users and investments, SUN DAO fosters growth and innovation within the platform and the broader DeFi sector. As a crucial component of the TRON ecosystem, SUN.io's implementation of the DAO model is set to attract a broader community of users and developers, supporting TRON in maintaining a healthy, self-reinforcing DeFi ecosystem. SUN.io, the pioneering integrated platform on the TRON network, offers a comprehensive suite of decentralized financial services, including stablecoin swaps, liquidity mining, and the conversion of Dominica's authorized digital currency while enabling self-governance. As of July 2024, SUN.io amassed a total value locked (TVL) of $431 million. The establishment of SUN DAO will further solidify its leading role in the DeFi ecosystem by extending premium decentralized financial services globally, fostering sustained innovation and growth in the industry. About SUN DAO SUN DAO is a platform aimed at achieving genuine community autonomy and open collaboration through blockchain technology and smart contracts. As a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), we provide a fair, transparent, and efficient decision-making framework for community members, enabling everyone to equally participate in project development and governance. About SUN.io SUN.io is the first decentralized autonomous platform on the TRON network that integrates stablecoin and comprehensive token exchange while supporting liquidity mining. It aims to provide optimal trading liquidity and asset returns for the TRON ecosystem. Users can stake SUN to obtain veSUN, allowing them to enjoy multiple platform benefits.
