Confirms stimulation of human-HLA-restricted transgenic mouse T-cells against immunodominant epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein

DURHAM, NC / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2020 / Heat Biologics, Inc. ("Heat") (NASDAQ:HTBX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing first-in-class therapies to modulate the immune system, including multiple oncology product candidates and a novel COVID-19 vaccine, today announced successful pre-clinical testing of the Company's COVID-19 vaccine, which demonstrated in-vivo confirmation of vaccine immunogenicity in animal models, including expansion of human-HLA-restricted T-cells against immunodominant epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein. Testing demonstrated expansion of antibody-supporting CD4+, and virus killing CD8+ T-cells in the lungs of the animals, a major site for COVID-19 infection.

"We are pleased to report this significant milestone in the development of our COVID-19 vaccine," said Jeff Wolf, CEO of Heat. "Specifically, our latest pre-clinical studies demonstrated immunogenicity proof-of-concept, illustrating that our vaccine can expand human-HLA-restricted T-cells against immunodominant epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, and validating that the selected vaccine antigen may be appropriate for human testing."

Natasa Strbo MD, DSc, Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and co-developer of Heat's gp96 platform, commented, "We are encouraged by the observed T-cell expansion and cytokine secretion in response to Spike protein stimulation in pre-clinical models. Measured cytokines, produced by anti-viral CD4+ T-cells, important for B cell antibody class switching, and CD8+ T-cells, important to clear virus-infected cells, suggests that an optimal immune response is being generated in response to our vaccination. These pre-clinical data imply that our vaccine is prompting a robust and effective immune response to support anti-viral immunity. In addition, stimulation of anti-viral killer CD8+ T-cells in human HLA-A2-positive transgenic mice provides encouraging pre-clinical data to support human trials, as we can expand cells specific for viral antigens presented in the context of the human immune system."

Mr. Wolf continued, "I would like to thank Natasa Strbo and her team at the University of Miami, as well as the team at Heat who are working tirelessly to advance our COVID-19 vaccine platform in breakthrough time. Given this data, we are further encouraged by the outlook for our COVID-19 vaccine, and believe this platform may play an important role as a standalone vaccine or in combination with other antibody-generating vaccines by engaging both the humoral and cellular arms of the immune system to stimulate more robust prophylactic protection."

BEIJING, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2020 / Southern Asset Management has recently signed up to an initiative called Climate Action 100+, marking another solid step toward the promotion of green, sustainable economy in China with ESG investing. Climate Action 100+ is an investor initiative to ensure the world's 161 largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change, improve governance and strengthen climate-related financial disclosures. So far, more than 420 global investors representing more than US$38 trillion in assets under management (AUM) have become signatories of the Climate Action 100+ initiative.

Mr. Shi Bo, Deputy General Manager & Chief Investment Officer (Equity) of Southern Asset Management, said, the climate-change risk will not only have important effects upon a company's long-term development prospects but also possibly disturb the stability of global financial system. Therefore, climate change is a macro-factor requiring close attention of investors. According to the Statement on the State of the Global Climate in 2019, climate change, as well as extreme weather and climate events are disrupting the development of human society and economy, people's health, displacement of populations, food security and terrestrial and marine ecosystems, among others. Physical and transformation risks arising from climate change will affect investment portfolio in a direct or indirect way. For the sake of long-term returns to holders and sustainable development of the society, we need to take early action and encourage all parties to attach more importance to the hazards of climate change.

As one of the earliest large asset managers which acted upon the ESG investing philosophy in China, Southern Asset Management has committed itself to actively exploring the localization of environmental, social and governance (ESG). It has already put in place a sound ESG management structure and process system, an assessment system and database of ESG issues-related risks, as well as a supportive risk management mechanism, allowing it to get long-term, sustainable investment returns through a more comprehensive analysis of investment targets' potential risks. Besides, Southern Asset Management also places a high premium on the implementation of activist shareholder strategies under ESG. After becoming a part of Climate Action 100+, Southern Asset Management will deepen exchanges on reduction of carbon emissions and pursuit of sustainable development with all stakeholders and join them in increasing the recognition of carbon emissions, climate change and high-quality sustainable development by the corporate sector and the society and making endeavors to achieve the Paris Agreement.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2020 / Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV:GWM) (the "Company" or "Galway") is pleased to report that hole CL20-65 contains abundant Visible Gold (VG) (see photos; assays pending) in a new massive quartz vein that is 14.4 metres (m) in core length, located 320 metres NE of a previously-reported new vein intersection of 11.4 g/t Au over 2.0m, including 43.5 g/t Au over 0.5m in hole CL20-58. The intersection in hole 58 had been discovered 75 metres north of the George Murphy Zone (GMZ) at the Clarence Stream Gold Project in SW New Brunswick (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3).

Numerous other intersections reported here are follow-up to the 2 new veins discovered 75 metres and 150 metres north of the George Murphy Zone (April 29, 2020 press release). Additional intersections reported here are new veins discovered north and south of the GMZ, and step-outs to known veins. The latest results are highlighted by:

Hole CL-65 intersected a new massive quartz vein that is 14.4m core length from 242.1-256.5m that contains 29 visible gold (VG) splashes located 246.5-246.8m, 248.2m, 252.4-253.2m, and 255.1-255.2m downhole (photos; assays pending) starting at a vertical depth of 171m below surface. The new vein appears to be associated with a strong magnetic low and with a line of coincident soil anomalies, both located close to the interpreted location of the main structure on the property – the Sawyer Brook Fault (Figure 3).
4.3 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 3.8 metres (m), 1.9 g/t Au over 13.15m, 1.7 g/t Au over 4.7m, and 1.0 g/t Au over 5.4m and many more intersections in at least 4 new veins at the GMZ, located north of the previous northern limit (Figure 4)
2.8 g/t Au over 8.4m, 1.3 g/t Au over 6.0m, 1.3 g/t Au over 5.2m, and 0.7 g/t Au over 5.9m and many more intersections in at least 3 new veins at the GMZ, located south of previously identified veins
4.5 g/t Au over 8.45m, 0.8 g/t Au over 21.25m, 1.6 g/t Au over 19.9m, and 1.1g/t Au over 9.8m in known veins at the GMZ (Figure 1, Figure 5, Figure 6)

"Galway has made tremendous progress during the past month. The Company raised $17 million to top up its treasury to $22 million. In doing so, we more than doubled the number of institutional shareholders to approximately 30 and fully-funded our 75,000-metre, 200 hole Clarence Stream drill program through the end of 2021. We also made two new discoveries – one approximately 1.0 km SW and along strike of the Jubilee Zone, Clarence Stream's western-most known deposit by intersecting 186.5 g/t Au over 0.6m, and we made another new discovery 3.7 km to the NE with 14.4 metres of massive quartz veining hosting 29 splashes of visible gold reported here. We also bought back 2 NSR royalties, of which most payments can be made with Galway shares over a 5-year period. With 5 rigs turning, Galway is looking forward to following up to expand both new discoveries and the known deposits within and beyond the 3.7km-long mineralized system," cites Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals.

Assay Highlights

CL20-60: 1.7 g/t Au over 4.7m, plus 1.0 g/t Au over 5.4m, including 2.8 g/t Au over 1.0m, plus 2.1 g/t Au over 1.05m, at vertical depths of 217m, 56m, and 28m below surface, respectively
CL20-59: 4.5 g/t Au over 8.45m, including 35.3 g/t Au over 0.7m, plus 2.8 g/t Au over 8.4m, plus 1.3 g/t Au over 6.0m, plus 6.7 g/t Au over 0.8m at vertical depths of 97m, 156m, 177m, and 140m below surface, respectively
CL20-57: 1.9 g/t Au over 13.15m, including 7.8 g/t Au over 1.0m and 4.4 g/t Au over 0.75m, plus 0.8 g/t Au over 21.25m, including 2.1 g/t Au over 1.0m and 2.2 g/t Au over 0.85m, plus 0.7 g/t Au over 5.05m, plus 0.7 g/t Au over 4.55m, plus 0.8 g/t Au over 3.25m at vertical depths of 164m, 6.0m, 131m, 191m and 197m below surface, respectively
CL19-44A: 1.3 g/t Au over 5.15m, including 4.2 g/t Au over 0.75m, plus previously reported 6.5 g/t Au over 7.35m, including 31.9 g/t Au over 0.6m, at vertical depths of 65m and 34m below surface, respectively
CL19-43: 4.3 g/t Au over 3.8m, including 8.4 g/t Au over 1.0m, at a vertical depth of 43m below surface
CL19-40: 1.1 g/t Au over 9.8m, including 4.1 g/t Au over 0.85m, plus 1.2 g/t Au over 3.65m, plus 0.7 g/t Au over 5.9m, including 2.5 g/t Au over 0.75m, at vertical depths of 54m, 69m, and 135m below surface, respectively
CL19-38: previously reported 0.8 g/t Au over 5.0m is now 1.6 g/t Au over 19.9m including 24.2 g/t Au over 0.5m, at a vertical depth of 214m below surface

On June 24, Galway announced a different new discovery that returned 186.5 g/t Au over 0.6m, located 950m SW and along strike of the western-most intersection of the Jubilee Zone (Figure 2). That Jubilee intersection had returned 1.9 g/t Au over 43.3m (35.7m true width (TW)), including 21.2 g/t Au over 2.35m, starting at a vertical depth of 36m below surface (September 5, 2019). Another similar vein to the discovery is located 13m further downhole and returned 2.2 g/t Au over 0.7m. Galway plans on following up on this discovery in coming days.

The GMZ is 730m long to date (excludes the new discovery), with multiple structures over 310m horizontal thickness (width), and with all veins open in every direction (Figure 1). The new 14.4 metre quartz vein in hole 65 appears to be associated with a strong magnetic low and with a line of coincident soil anomalies, both located close to the interpreted location of the main structure on the property – the Sawyer Brook Fault (Figure 3). It directly underlies a soil anomaly that gave a grade of 19 ppb. The anomaly is present on the next line 100m to the east that gives it a strike along the magnetic low. It also lines up nicely with another soil anomaly located a further 320m east that grades 53 ppb. The anomalies extend for another 1.6 km east beyond that. They also extend 1.0 km SW of the vein. Soil anomalies, in conjunction with glacial till and stream sediment anomalies led to the discovery of all 5 known gold deposits at Clarence Stream, and the property hosts many other as of yet untested gold anomalies. As Galway continues to make new discoveries, it is becoming apparent that Clarence Stream is an important new gold district in North America.

New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program

Galway would like to acknowledge financial support from the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program, which partially funded drilling of the GMZ, Jubilee, and Richard Zones.

Geology and Mineralization

The recent discovery of the Richard Zone in hole 12 contains elevated levels of bismuth, arsenopyrite, and antimony, in multiple quartz veins, with tungsten in the vicinity. This is similar to other Clarence Stream deposits, which can be characterized as intrusion-related quartz-vein hosted gold deposits. Richard Zone contains multiple zones of quartz veining with sulfides and sericite alteration. In general, mineralization at Clarence Stream consists of 10-70% quartz stockworks and veins with 1-5% fine pyrite plus pyrrhotite plus arsenopyrite plus stibnite in sericite altered sediments. The Jubilee mineralization consists of 2%-5% disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite in sediments with white to smoky grey quartz veining. Locally there is up to 10% sphalerite and semi-massive galena veinlets. The 2.5 km trend that hosts the GMZ, Richard and Jubilee Zones contains a mineralized mafic intrusive locally – similar to the South Zone, which currently hosts most of the property's last reported gold resources (September 2017). A more complete description of Clarence Stream's geology and mineralization can be found at www.galwaymetalsinc.com.

About the Company

Galway Metals is well capitalized with two gold projects in Canada, Clarence Stream, an emerging gold district in New Brunswick, and Estrades, the former producing, high-grade VMS mine in Quebec. The Company began trading on January 4, 2013, after the successful spinout to existing shareholders from Galway Resources following the completion of the US$340 million sale of that company. With substantially the same management team and Board of Directors, Galway Metals is keenly intent on creating similar value as it had with Galway Resources.

Combination of companies immediately creates the global leader in software and service for the partnership marketing category

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, and PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2020 / Partnerize, the leading SaaS provider of partnership management solutions for global brands, today announced the acquisition of Pepperjam, a leading affiliate marketing technology and services provider. The combination of the companies' technology platforms and service expertise will empower brand leaders to maximize business growth from partnerships, diversify their revenue streams, and offset escalating costs in primary sales and marketing channels.

The combined business will serve more than 1,750 enterprise and mid-market clients worldwide, driving more than $7B in transactions via their relationships with an ecosystem of 750,000+ partners, including 250,000+ influencers. The company services clients in a broad range of industries, including retail/e-commerce, direct-to-consumer, travel, finance, telecom, subscriptions, and gaming.

"At Partnerize, our vision is to transform the partnerships industry by automating the historically manual process of scaling the partnerships channel and unlocking its full growth potential for partners and brands," said Mal Cowley, Partnerize Co-founder, and CEO. "Marketers are demanding greater visibility and control for affiliate marketing, influencer programs, content partnerships, brand alliances, and other forms of partnership. This acquisition is a significant milestone in meeting those needs and making the partnerships channel a core growth engine for brands. Our best-of-breed solutions combine process automation, better tools for optimization, and unique AI-powered insights for better results and outstanding brand protection."

For the past several years, both Pepperjam and Partnerize have been dedicated to elevating affiliate and partnership to a primary channel in the marketing mix and demonstrating that partner marketing deserves a seat at the CMO's table. By significantly enhancing the scalability and automation of this pay-for-performance channel, the combined business will give marketers additional operating leverage, alleviating reliance on increasingly expensive channels like paid search and social, which are usually purchased through pay-for-access models.

The company is also well-positioned to capitalize on a key gap in the market – delivering a combination of advanced technology and configurable program management services. Historically, clients and agencies have had to choose between the legacy outsourced network service provider model or tech-only solutions without a strong services layer. By offering the unique combination of advanced technology and services, Partnerize will enable customers to have greater control, visibility, and insight into the channel while also ensuring that they get the best results.

Said former Pepperjam CEO and new Partnerize President Matt Gilbert, "More than ever, marketers need a diversified means to ensure long term business viability and results. The channel's pay-for-performance model, coupled with its diverse partner composition, make it an attractive vehicle for growth marketers seeking a scalable alternative to their primary sales and marketing channels. Partnerize's AI-powered partnership management solutions coupled with Pepperjam's affiliate marketing technology and service expertise will help marketers accelerate their global partner marketing efforts to comprehensively leverage the channel to drive growth and reach target audiences at scale."

The partnerships industry is growing rapidly. With affiliate marketing in the US alone expected to reach $8B in sales by 2022, and billions more in sales coming from influencer programs, content partnerships, brand alliances, and other types of performance partnerships, the category already drives 20-30% of total sales for many brands. From its roots as a specialty channel in the early 2000s, the industry has demonstrated continuous growth because of its pay-for-performance business model and its ability to deliver scalable results in a variety of categories.

Continued Matt Gilbert, "In an expanding market, marketers need a combination of advanced technology and expert service to unlock channel value. Our coming together to lead the industry, ensures marketers sacrifice absolutely nothing. Coupling Pepperjam's strong North American presence with the global footprint of Partnerize will accelerate category growth and momentum, creating tremendous upside for brands around the world."

Pepperjam CEO Matt Gilbert will become President of Partnerize, a new role for the company. A long-tenured mar-tech leader, Matt brings a distinguished 20-year track record of increasing company market share and profitability to his new role. Prior to Pepperjam, he co-founded 500friends, which sold to Merkle, where he served as SVP & GM of the Loyalty Services group. He has held numerous leadership positions across the digital marketing category throughout his career, including Webloyalty.com, IAC/InterActive Corp., Ask Jeeves, Inc, and Excite@Home.

Pepperjam is the second acquisition for Partnerize in 2020. In April, the company announced the acquisition of BrandVerity, the leading provider of search monitoring and web compliance solutions for the partnership and paid search industries.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2020 / Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX:NDM)(NYSE American:NAK) ("Northern Dynasty" or the "Company") and its 100%-owned US-based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership (the "Pebble Partnership") have completed a comprehensive review of the Final Environmental Impact Statement ("Final EIS") for the proposed Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum project, as published by lead federal regulator the US Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE") last week.

Northern Dynasty President & CEO Ron Thiessen confirmed the Final EIS for the Pebble Project describes a modern mineral development project that can fully co-exist with the subsistence, commercial and recreational fishing resources of southwest Alaska, while protecting water quality, downstream flows and associated aquatic habitat. The USACE also found Pebble can make a significant socioeconomic contribution to the Bristol Bay region, its residents and communities, as well as to state and local governments.

"In completing our comprehensive technical and legal review of the Final EIS for the Pebble Project, a document comprising more than 2,000 pages plus appendices, I can confirm that it describes a project of considerable merit that will fully protect important environmental values in the project area, that will create tremendous benefits for Alaska's people and governments, and one we expect to secure a positive Record of Decision later this summer," Thiessen said.

"But don't take my word for it. I encourage anyone with an interest in Pebble, in Bristol Bay fisheries, in the vibrant Indigenous cultures of southwest Alaska or the State of Alaska itself to find out for themselves by reading the Final EIS Executive Summary and supporting documents at pebbleprojecteis.com."

While the USACE is the lead federal regulator for the Pebble EIS process, much of the work behind the scenes was completed by AECOM – the 3rd party EIS contractor selected in early 2018. AECOM is a globally recognized engineering, environmental, construction and infrastructure development firm with a long history of providing regulatory compliance and other professional services associated with the development of large, complex mineral and oil and gas development projects in Alaska and the United States.

Thiessen said AECOM's extensive global experience and reputation as an engineering and environmental leader adds additional credibility to the EIS findings. He said the Final EIS, published July 24, 2020 is clear that development activities proposed at Pebble would not affect the number of adult salmon returning to Bristol Bay watersheds, nor the value of the fishery:

"Impacts to Bristol Bay salmon are not expected to be measurable…" (4.24-47)
"Other salmon fisheries in Alaska exist in conjunction with non-renewable resource extraction industries." (ES 86)

The Final EIS also concludes that Pebble's potential effects on fish and fisheries will be undetectable at the level of the Bristol Bay region as a whole (~40,000 sq. miles), within the two large drainage areas in which project facilities are located (~23,000 sq. miles), or even within the direct project area (~10 sq. miles):

"(The project) would not have measurable effects on the number of adult salmon returning to the Kvichak and Nushagak river systems as a result of project construction and operations, due the limited lineal footage of upper Koktuli River fish habitat affected by placement of fill." (4.6-9)
"The mine site area is not connected to the Togiak, Ugashik, Naknek, and Egegik watersheds and is not expected to affect fish populations or harvests from these watersheds." (Table 4.6-1, P4.6-4)
"Considering the physical characteristics and current fish use of habitat to be removed, the consequently low densities of juvenile Chinook and coho observed in the affected tributaries, and the few numbers of spawning coho observed (see Section 3.24, Fish Values), impacts to anadromous and resident fish populations from these direct habitat losses would not be measurable, and would be expected to fall within the range of natural variability." (4.24-46)

Similarly, the Final EIS finds that the proposed Pebble mine would not impact water resources in a manner that affects aquatic species or local communities:

"There would be no effects on any community groundwater or surface water supplies from the changes in groundwater flows at the mine site." (ES 67)
"With few exceptions, predicted changes in habitat in the modeled portion of the upper mainstem Koktuli River (upstream of the Swan River) are near zero or positive, suggesting that project effects from flow changes would not negatively impact reaches downstream of the NFK and SFK confluence, or in UTC." (4.24-13)

Pebble's potential to create 850 direct, high-wage jobs and 2,000 total jobs is widely expected to have a dramatic and positive impact, both regionally and state-wide. The Final EIS points to a range of other positive socioeconomic benefits:

"Reduced transportation costs would likely lower the high cost of living for the communities near the transportation corridor….The natural gas pipeline would also provide opportunities for adjacent communities to lower their winter heating costs, a positive impact." (4.3-3)
"Reduced transportation costs would lower the cost of living for these communities, all of which are minority and low income." (ES 53)
"Local employment opportunities could offset current trends of outmigration in some communities and provide service fee revenue to maintain or even improve community infrastructure." (4.3-6-4.3-7)
"In addition, an increased revenue stream to the LPB (Lake & Peninsula Borough), along with stabilization of population levels attributable to employment opportunities, could result in improvements to community health care facilities throughout the borough." (4.3-8)

The Final EIS finds an operating mine at Pebble would make significant contributions to local and state government revenues at a time when Alaska is facing a fiscal crisis related both to the COVID-19 pandemic and a substantial drop in oil and gas investment and commodity prices:

"An estimated $64 million annually in state corporate taxes during the operations phase. It was estimated that the operations phase could also generate $41 million annually from State mining license taxes. The project could generate $20 million annually (in 2011 dollars) in state royalty payments during the operations phase." (4.3-11)
"The project would generate $25 million annually in state taxes through construction, and $84 million annually in state taxes and royalty payments during the operations phase. The project would generate $27 million annually in severances taxes for the LPB during operations, and annual property tax revenue to the Kenai Peninsula Borough based on assessed value of project-related real property." (ES 47-48)

Importantly, the Final EIS makes clear the Pebble Partnership proposes to employ a tailings storage facility design and operating protocols that preclude the type and scale of catastrophic failure seen in recent years in Brazil and British Columbia:

"The Applicant's bulk TSF design is different than that of most other historic and current TSFs. The proposed design is especially distinct when compared to most historic mines that have experience large failures." (K4.27-4)
"Most historic failures have been from dams built by upstream construction methods. The Applicant would construct the bulk TSF embankments by downstream and centerline methods, not the upstream method." (K4.27-3)
"The Applicant has proposed a design for the bulk TSF that would minimize surface water storage above the tailings and promote unsaturated, or dryer, conditions in the bulk tailings through drainage provisions." (K4.27-4)

Pebble Partnership CEO Tom Collier noted the Final EIS for the Pebble Project represents the first time an independent, expert regulatory body has comprehensively reviewed a development plan put forward by the project's proponents. He called the document "the most relevant and defensible science-based assessment of the Pebble Project ever developed, and the administrative record upon which final permitting decisions will be made."

"I've been involved in countless EIS processes over the course of my career, and can attest to the rigor, the attention to detail and objective care that the USACE and other federal, state and local cooperating agencies have put into this review process," Collier said. "I have every confidence in the legitimacy and the integrity of the US Army Corps of Engineers' findings when it comes to Pebble, and that this Final EIS document will ultimately prevail against any challenge – legal or otherwise – as the most appropriate administrative record upon which final permitting decisions at Pebble should and will be made."

DUBAI, UAE / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2020 / Future Market Insights: The matcha market is expected to witness steady demand for the foreseeable future, despite the threat of the coronavirus outbreak. Matcha is known among users for its polyphenol ingredients, which have proven to have a positive impact on lung function. As the coronavirus largely affects the respiratory system, the demand for matcha nutraceuticals and food products is likely to rise for the duration of the pandemic.

Consequently, stronger demand for functional foods during the coronavirus outbreak will support demand for matcha during and after the pandemic," says the FMI analyst.
