ANAB Alert: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces Investigation of AnaptysBio, Inc. and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2020 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers AnaptysBio, Inc. ("AnaptysBio" or the Company") (NASDAQ:ANAB).Investors who purchased AnaptysBio securities are encouraged to obtain additional information and assist the investigation by visiting the firm's site: www.bgadng.com/anab.

The investigation concerns whether AnaptysBio and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated federal securities laws.

On March 26, 2018, AnaptysBio announced data from an interim analysis of a Phase 2a trial for etokimab in adult patients with peanut allergies. Although the Company reported improvement among patients who received a single dose of etokimab compared to patients dosed with a placebo, later that day, an analyst from RBC Capital Markets issued a report that questioned the veracity of that data. On this news, AnaptysBio's stock price fell $6.31 per share, or 5.54%, to close at $107.52 per share on March 27, 2018. On August 27, 2018, AnaptysBio announced that it had deprioritized further clinical development of etokimab as a treatment for peanut allergy, but continued to tout the efficacy of etokimab in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, touting the purported "timeline and robustness" of a single dose of etokimab and describing the drug's treatment of patients in its Phase 2a clinical trial in this indication as a "truly remarkable result" with "widespread efficacy." However, on June 21, 2019, an analyst from Credit Suisse issued a report questioning the veracity of the Company's Phase 2a atopic dermatitis data, concluding that due to the study's small sample size and lack of critical details provided by the Company, "we must consider the possibility that the presence of rescue medications could have influenced the trial's response rates" and "we are now less certain about etokimab's efficacy profile." Accordingly, Credit Suisse downgraded AnaptysBio stock to neutral from outperform and slashed its price target to $79 from $137. On this news, AnaptysBio's stock price fell $7.78 per share, or 11.61%, to close at $59.24 per share on June 21, 2019. Finally, on November 8, 2019, AnaptysBio announced "very disappoint[ing]" data from its ATLAS trial, a Phase 2b multi-dose study which evaluated the efficacy of etokimab in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Specifically, AnaptysBio revealed that each of the etokimab dosing arms "failed to meet the primary endpoint of the trial" and revealed that, as a result of this data, it had postponed the initiation of its Phase 2b etokimab clinical trial in asthma. On this news, AnaptysBio's stock price fell $25.98 per share, or 71.85%, to close at $10.18 per share on November 8, 2019.

If you are aware of any facts relating to this investigation, or purchased AnaptysBio shares, you can assist this investigation by visiting the firm's site: www.bgadng.com/anab. You can also contact Peretz Bronstein or his Investor Relations Analyst, Yael Hurwitz of Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC: 212-697-6484.

Hemopure Addresses the Serious Threat Posed to US Blood Supplies by the Emerging Infectious Diseases

SOUDERTON, PA / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2020 / Ensuring a regular and quality blood supply is a constant challenge for healthcare systems worldwide. In the US, according to data from the American Red Cross, a mere 3% of citizens normally donate blood even though 38% of the population are eligible to donate; Every two seconds, someone requires a transfusion; And a single donation could save as many as three lives. The current US blood supplies can barely meet the needs of patients, many of whom rely on transfusions to survive, either because of severe trauma, life-threatening medical conditions, or surgical complications. In times of national emergencies, such as pandemics or major natural disasters, the lack of sufficient supplies can lead to unnecessary loss of life, exacerbating already tragic situations. Hence, the strong advocacy from the medical and scientific communities for the development and use of blood substitutes, such as the oxygen-carrying solution Hemopure, manufactured by Hemoglobin Oxygen Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotech company headquartered in Souderton, PA.

While clinicians have been able to use evidence-based medical and surgical concepts to optimize hemostasis and minimize blood loss in an effort to improve patient outcomes, the number of donors over the past few years has dropped significantly, more than negating any savings. An additional risk, this time to the safety of US blood supply, is that despite what officials describe as near-Herculean efforts to screen donated blood for the emerging viruses, the nation's blood supply is not immune from contaminations as was the case a few years ago when the CDC announced that several cases of West Nile illness were attributed to blood transfusions that contained tainted blood.

The push to develop alternatives to traditional blood transfusions has intensified in the 21st century amidst the global population growth and aging, the emergence of new infectious agents, and the seemingly rising number of natural disasters due to climate change. Not only is the number of donors insufficient to meet demand, but the nature of blood is such that it cannot be readily stockpiled, as refrigerated blood has a shelf-life of only 42 days. With multiple positive medical journal articles already published on Hemopure, its characteristics – including no blood typing or cross matching as well as three-year stability without the need for refrigeration – are ideal for out-of-hospital applications and stockpiling for national emergencies. It is no surprise then that the US Department of Defense is funding a large prehospital clinical trial to evaluate use of Hemopure as a resuscitation fluid in conjunction with freeze-dried plasma.

Currently, Hemopure is stocked and used at several hospitals as an investigational product, under FDA's authorized expanded access protocols, for the treatment of severe anemia when blood transfusions are not an option. Interestingly, regulatory authorities in South Africa and Russia have already granted market approval for Hemopure for the treatment of perioperative anemia. "While blood transfusion will always be the gold standard of treatment, there is also an obvious need for alternative products, such as Hemopure, in our healthcare system and emergency preparedness," experts at BloodSupplySolution.com assert. "Stakeholders in government, academic medicine and industry should find a way to work together to make this happen proactively rather than reactively."

Namibia Critical Metals Provides Update on Erongo Gold Project

Erongo gold project covers 606 km2 in the Navachab-Otjikoto gold belt in proximity to Osino Resources Twin Hills gold discovery

Priority target area underlain by favourable stratigraphy and structures identified at Twin Hills

Soil geochemical survey has collected 2,500 samples covering 30% of priority target area, analyses pending; additional sampling planned

Company continues to monitor and manage Namibian responses to Covid-19 and announces planned changes in senior management

HALIFAX, NS / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2020 / Namibia Critical Metals Inc. ("Namibia Critical Metals" or the "Company") (TSXV:NMI) today provided an update on progress of exploration on its Erongo Gold Project (EPL 6440 "Erongo") located near the town of Karibib in central Namibia. Erongo is one of three prospective gold projects in the company's portfolio within the emerging gold belt which hosts the Navachab and Otjikoto gold mines (Figure 1). The Company is undertaking a regional geochemical soil survey at Erongo to assess the potential for the discovery of orogenic/hydrothermal gold deposits similar to the nearby Navachab Gold Mine which is operated by QKR and the Twin Hills discovery of Osino Resources Corp. ("Osino").

The Erongo Gold Project comprises 606 square kilometers situated 20 kilometers north of the Navachab gold mine and 10 kilometers northwest of the Twin Hills discovery (Figure 2). The project area is centered on the Erongo granitic intrusive complex which was emplaced into the older metasedimentary rocks of the Damaran orogeny which host the gold mineralization of interest at Navachab, Twin Hills and at the Otjikoto gold mine operated by B2 Gold which is located 230 kilometers to the northeast.

Don Burton, President of Namibia Critical Metals stated, "Most investor attention is understandably focused on our heavy rare earth project at Lofdal where we have recently entered into a joint venture with the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC"). However, an important aspect of the Company's assets lies in the diversity of the commodities within our portfolio. Given the increasing recognition of the significance of Namibia's emerging gold belt, it is an appropriate moment to direct more attention to the gold potential in our Erongo, Otjiwarongo and Grootfontein projects."

Erongo Gold Exploration Program

The area of interest at Erongo lies along the northern limb of the Krantzberg anticline and is underlain by metasedimentary rocks equivalent to the stratigraphy noted on the southern limb of the anticline at Twin Hills, with associated structural features defined by airborne magnetics (Figure 2). The area is largely covered by aeolian sands and/or calcrete with very little outcrop. As Osino has successfully demonstrated, gold mineralization can be detected by surficial geochemical sampling (soils and calcrete) in this environment. The discovery at Twin Hills was announced in August 2019 (Osino Resources company press release August 26, 2019) and Osino is working towards development of a maiden resource estimate as part of a 20,000 meter drill program.

The Company has collected 2,500 soil samples to date on a systematic grid with a line spacing of 200 meters and sample spacing of 100 meters over the central sector of the priority area (Figure 2). These samples cover roughly 30% of the area of interest. Samples will be sieved and analyzed by handheld XRF over the next 3-4 weeks prior to submission for gold analysis. Selected samples will then be analyzed for gold using low level detection limits (down to 0.2 ppb Au) to define areas of interest. Results from gold analyzes are therefore expected in mid-May and continuing sample coverage is planned to progress to the south.

Impact of Covid-19 to Operations

The Company continues to closely monitor recommendations from Namibian health authorities and the World Health Organization concerning the mitigation of the Covid-19 pandemic. Current restrictions by the Namibian health authorities are being respected with regards to operations in the Khomas and Erongo Regions (encompassing the Windhoek-Swakopmund corridor) where travel restrictions have been implemented. This has affected continued field activity at Erongo for the time being however operations at Lofdal in the Kunene Region are continuing. The Company has completed the first four drill holes at Lofdal and expects to report on first results in April.

Planned Changes in Management

About Namibia Critical Metals Inc.

Namibia Critical Metals Inc. holds a diversified portfolio of exploration and advanced stage projects in the country of Namibia focused on the development of sustainable and ethical sources of metals for the battery, electric vehicle and associated industries. The Company also has significant land positions in areas favourable for gold mineralization.

The Lofdal Heavy Rare Earth Project is the Company's most advanced project having completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2014 and full Environmental Impact Assessment in 2017. An application has been made for a mining licence at Lofdal. The project is now in joint venture with JOGMEC who are funding the current $3,000,000 drilling and metallurgical program with the object of doubling the resource size and optimization of the process flow sheet.

At the Erongo Gold Project, stratigraphic equivalents to the sediments hosting the recent Osino gold discovery at Twin Hills have been identified but not yet sampled. Detailed soil surveys are planned over this highly prospective area.

The Epembe Tantalum-Niobium Project is also at an advanced stage with a well-defined, 10 km long carbonatite dyke that has been delineated by detailed mapping with over 11,000 meters of drilling. Preliminary mineralogical and metallurgical studies including sorting tests (XRT), indicate the potential for significant physical upgrading. Further work will be undertaken to advance the project to a preliminary economic assessment stage.

The Kunene Cobalt-Copper Project comprises a very large area of favorable stratigraphy ("the DOF") along strike to the west of the Opuwo Co-Cu-Zn deposit. Secondary copper mineralization over a wide area points to preliminary evidence of a regional-scale hydrothermal system. Exploration targets on EPLs held in the Kunene project comprise direct extensions of the DOF style mineralization to the west, sediment-hosted cobalt and copper, orogenic copper, and stratabound Mn and Zn-Pb mineralization.

Earlier stage projects include the Grootfontein Project which has potential for magmatic Cu-Ni mineralization, Mississippi Valley-type Zn-Pb-V mineralization and Otjikoto-style gold mineralization.
