JACKSON CENTER, PA / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2020 / Halberd Corporation (OTC PINK:HALB) clarifies next steps in their unique research with Arizona State University. Halberd directed their research program to focus on that element of Covid-19 which makes the disease most contagious – the spike antigen. ASU investigators have projected the production of the coronavirus spike antigen within the next two weeks.

The next steps for the ASU/Halberd program involve identification of an antibody conjugate which will fluoresce in the presence of the spike antigen to facilitate removal of the disease element via Halberd's patented extracorporeal treatments. Feasibility samples of the spike antigen antibody conjugate are expected to be available within four weeks.

Availability of the antibody conjugate will allow for the development of a molecule, to be patented, which can be used in a diagnostic capacity – in a rapid-results test for the coronavirus – and possibly in an extracorporeal treatment regimen.

William A. Hartman, Halberd Corporation Chairman, President & CEO, stated, "With the successful creation of a fluorescent antibody, we hope to be able to create a rapid Covid-19 test using saliva or a drop of blood. We believe our approach will allow for accurate test results in a matter of minutes, and could be administered with minimal inconvenience/discomfort to those tested. Additionally, this approach could lead to a therapeutic application for coronavirus positive patients."

Dr. Reyes added, "Facilitating this ease of identification has profound ramifications for both diagnostic purposes as well as therapeutic use including facilitated eradication of targeted antigens."

Doctors Abdon Nanhay and Edson Brito further added "Our facilities in South America will be ideally suited for testing purposes. These initial tests could be the precursor to the commencement of FDA certification."

RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2020 / Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX:SCY) ("Scandium International" or the "Company") has filed a provisional patent application with the US Patent Office seeking patent rights on various applications of scandium in lithium ion batteries. The patent application covers a number of scandium enhancements, including doping potential for both anodes and cathodes, and for solid electrolytes.

HIGHLIGHTS:

US Patent Application filed for use of scandium in lithium ion battery applications.
Scandium doping applications are explained for anodes, cathodes and electrolytes.
Scandium offers conductivity advantages as a dopant, over other options, and
Scandium in other aluminum components offers numerous property improvements, including conductivity, strength and corrosion resistance.

DISCUSSION:

Rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are a staple of everyday life. The search for improved performance through design and materials advances is intense today. Considerable effort is being expended in developing next-generation materials for LIBs that will make batteries safer, lighter, more durable, faster to charge, more powerful, and more cost-effective. A sampling of some of the more public efforts are as follows:

Minimizing or removing cobalt from cathode materials, based on cost, supply and geographic sourcing issues.
Improving the durability of liquid electrolytes with dopants, or substitution with safer and higher performing liquid or solid electrolyte systems.
Designing for higher voltage potential by utilizing different anode or cathode materials.
Determining combinations of metals that can better withstand harsh internal conditions.

Scandium, along with other specialty metals, has a clear role to play in each of these areas.

One particularly promising area for scandium contributions is in a lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) battery. The cathode in this design substitutes manganese for cobalt, and supports a higher nickel content as well. The substitution then delivers higher working potentials (voltage), higher energy densities, and faster charge/discharge rates, all of which offer the promise of improved battery performance.

Delivering on that promise requires a number of improvements, including employing a dopant for stabilization of the manganese in the LNMO cathode, potential stabilization of lithium titanate (LTO) anode materials as well, and use of dopants to improve the conductivity of both these anode and cathode materials. Conventional liquid electrolytes may see improved function and longevity with the improved cathode and anode conductivity. Scandium represents a suitable and effective dopant in each of these applications.

Solid electrolytes represent another potential break-through improvement in LIBs. They will handle higher voltages, higher temperatures, greater power densities, are potentially easier to package, and are considered safer in use. Scandium represents a suitable and effective dopant in these applications, analogous to the use of scandium to stabilize solid zirconia electrolytes in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

Lithium ion batteries employ aluminum in a number of areas, specifically in cathode structure, current connectors, and in general battery structure. Aluminum-scandium alloys represent an enhanced aluminum alloy option, based on their combination of conductivity and strength.

The intent of this SCY patent filing is to advise the battery industry that scandium is a prospective dopant choice for enhanced performance of LIBs, both under existing design parameters and in particular for next-gen LNMO batteries. We want to ensure that battery research and design groups consider scandium additions, amongst their various materials choices, as they race to build a better lithium ion battery.

The Company's operating intent remains focused on producing a scandium product, and advises that it considers the lithium ion battery markets to be a viable application for use.

George Putnam, CEO of Scandium International Mining Corp. commented:

"The quest to improve LIB battery performance is a global research priority today. Doping-element solutions are one primary focus of this research, seeking to realize the best results from various multi-metal combinations. We believe scandium offers real potential for contribution in this area, with an ability to bring improvement to both new and existing battery configurations. Scandium can deliver improvements either by acting as a stabilizing agent with other elements, or delivering strength to aluminum components, while in both cases maintaining or improving conductivity."

ABOUT SCANDIUM INTERNATIONAL MINING CORP.

The Company is focused on developing its Nyngan Scandium Project, located in NSW, Australia, into the world's first scandium-only producing mine. The Company filed a NI 43-101 technical report in May 2016, titled "Feasibility Study – Nyngan Scandium Project". The project has received all key approvals, including a development consent and a mining lease, necessary to proceed with project construction.

The company is also currently soliciting copper industry interest in using ion-exchange technology to extract unrecovered critical metals from existing mine process streams. This program represents a fast-track concept to make battery-grade nickel and cobalt products, scandium master-alloy product, and other critical metals, from North American sources.

Willem Duyvesteyn, MSc, AIME, CIM, a Director and CTO of the Company, is a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release on behalf of the Company.

Fertilizers are normally made from potash or from ammonia, which are important petrochemical products. However, the use of these chemicals has environmental consequences that are being discussed by the experts. The use of nanotechnology, including graphene and metal oxide nanoparticles, in which the team has over 30 years of experience, opens up a ground breaking areas of R&D, in which the nanostructures allow an increase of up to 20% in plant yield, while diminishing, by orders of magnitude the use of traditional chemicals, having a positive impact on the environment and the cost of farming.

Enhanced Extraction from Hemp – One of the main properties of hemp is its content of cannabinoids. Normally the extraction is carried out by either solvent or CO2. Prof. Castaño and his team have experience in extraction of essential oils of various plants by using enzymes and microfauna, which represent a truly innovative and green approach to this industry.

Curt Huber, President of Global Hemp stated, "Prof. Castaño and his team bring an amazing wealth of experience in different disciplines to Global Hemp's R&D Division. I am confident that they will not only develop technology that we will be able to utilize at our projects but will also be able to market to the industry. We look forward to working with Prof. Castaño and his team".

"Our fourth quarter and year ending results were negatively impacted by COVID-19, but our team continues to improve operational effectiveness in an effort to leverage our expense structure and manage working capital," stated John Krier, CEO of Dynatronics Corporation. "Despite a revenue decrease for fiscal year 2020, we are taking decisive actions to prepare the Company for future growth opportunities."

Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $8.1 million, a decrease of $7.4 million, or 47.7%, compared to $15.5 million in the same period of the prior year. Gross profit for the quarter decreased $3.1 million, or 68.9%, to $1.4 million. The decrease in net sales and gross profit were primarily attributable to stay-at-home policies and government restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross margin for the quarter was 17.4% compared to 29.3% in the same period of the prior year.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $2.3 million, compared to a net loss of $232,000 for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash expenses were $1.0 million and the Company generated positive cash flow from operating activities of $541,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Gross profit for the year decreased $4.1 million, or 21.3%, to $15.1 million. The decrease in net sales and gross profit were primarily attributable to stay-at-home policies and government restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the continued decline in physical therapy and rehabilitation product sales. Gross margin for the year was 28.3% compared to 30.6% in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to lower sales.

Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $3.4 million, compared to a net loss of $921,000 for the year ended June 30, 2019. Depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash expenses were $2.5 million and the Company generated positive cash flow from operating activities of $3.1 million for the year.

Will Provide Turnkey Environmental Risk Transfer Services to Remediate

Existing Ash Ponds and Landfills and Redevelop Property;

The Coal Plant Will Not Be Restarted and Will Begin the Decommissioning Process

LOUISVILLE, KY / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2020 / Charah® Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:CHRA) (the "Company"), a leading provider of environmental and maintenance services to the power generation industry, today announced that it is negotiating an agreement with the Texas Municipal Power Agency (TMPA) to acquire, remediate and redevelop the Gibbons Creek Steam Electric Station and Reservoir in Grimes County, Texas ("Gibbons Creek"). TMPA, which was created to supply electricity on a wholesale basis to its member cities of Bryan, Denton, Garland and Greenville, operated Gibbons Creek from its construction in 1982 until 2018.

As part of this agreement, Charah Solutions, through its subsidiary Gibbons Creek Environmental Redevelopment Group, LLC (GCERG), will take ownership of the 6,166 acre area which includes the closed power station, the 3,500 acre reservoir, dam and spillway. GCERG will be responsible for the shutdown and decommissioning of the coal power plant as well as performing all environmental remediation work for the site landfills and ash ponds.

As a sustainability leader in utility services for over 30 years, Charah Solutions is dedicated to preserving natural resources in an environmentally conscious manner through projects such as this with TMPA. Sustainability is a Charah Solutions core value, and the Company focuses its business on developing innovative solutions to complex environmental issues for the betterment of the planet, the communities in which it operates and its customers.

According to Scott Sewell, Charah Solutions President and CEO, "Our Environmental Risk Transfer services represent an innovative solution designed to meet the evolving and increasingly complex needs of our utility partners. Many utilities are experiencing an increased need to retire and decommission older or less economically viable generating assets while minimizing costs and maximizing the value of the assets and improving the environment. This is a perfect example of Charah Solutions providing a custom approach for these complex projects, as we are able to provide not only the environmental remediation expertise needed to meet regulations but also bring the right partners to the table to redevelop the property while creating local jobs and lowering the cost for our utility partner."

GCERG's site redevelopment options do not include a restart of the coal plant but do include renewable energy, agricultural, commercial or industrial redevelopment opportunities. The Gibbons Creek Reservoir RV Park and campground will continue to operate going forward as it is a very popular recreational destination for local lake enthusiasts, regularly drawing over 200 people per day.

"We are pleased to work with Charah Solutions to reduce the environmental risk and costs for TMPA and its member cities and ratepayers while redeveloping the plant and property to expand economic activity and support the tax base, including the Grimes County Schools," said Bob Kahn, TMPA General Manager. "The transaction will save member cities millions in expenses associated with decommissioning and environmentally remediating the plant site."
