MISSION VIEJO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2015 / Global Future City Holding Inc. (OTCQB: FTCY) (the “Company”) announced the purchase of Powerdyne Regional Center LLC (“Powerdyne Regional Center”), a designated EB-5 Regional Center approved by the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service (“USCIS”). The aggregate purchase price for 100% of the membership interest of Powerdyne Regional Center is $250,000.00, of which $125,000.00 was funded on March 27, 2015. The balance will be paid in five quarterly installments of $25,000.00 with the payments due on April 1, 2015, July 1, 2015, October 1, 2015, January 1, 2016 and April 1, 2016. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2015 which describes the acquisition in detail.

Congress created the EB-5 program in 1990 to benefit the U.S. economy by attracting investments from qualified foreign investors. Under the program, each investor is required to demonstrate that at least 10 new jobs were created or saved as a result of the EB-5 investment, which must be a minimum $500,000 if the funds are invested and are at “risk” in certain high-unemployment or rural areas. In 1992, Congress enhanced the economic impact of the EB-5 program by permitting the designation of Regional Centers to pool EB-5 capital from multiple foreign investors for investment in USCIS-approved economic development projects within a defined geographic region. Today, approximately 95% of all EB-5 capital is raised and invested by Regional Centers.

An EB-5 Regional Center is an organization, designated and regulated by USCIS, which facilitates an investment in job-creating economic development projects by pooling capital raised under the EB-5 immigrant investor program. Regional Centers can be publicly owned, (e.g. by a city, state, or regional economic development agency), privately owned, or be a public-private partnership. Regional Centers use economic analysis models, including those developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, to demonstrate that job creation targets required by law have been achieved. For investments made through Regional Centers, at least 10 direct, indirect or induced jobs must be created.

Mr. Pei, who will be the new CEO and Chairman of the Company once the previously announced Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) is closed with Sky Rover Holdings Ltd. (“Sky Rover”), which negotiated and arranged the financing for the Powerdyne Regional Center purchase. Mr. Pei stated “I arranged for the purchase and funding of the EB-5 Regional Center prior to the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, because I felt the opportunity to use my international contacts as well as the 4,000,000 EGD crypto-assets deposited upon closing of the SPA was uniquely positioned to take advantage of large real-estate developments currently under negotiation. We will support the real-estate developments with investment from foreign investors through the EB-5 program which creates jobs and supports the U.S. economy.”

Mr. Pei has a Bachelor’s degree in International Economic Law from Nankai University, China and a Master’s degree in International Business Law from the University of Manchester, UK. Mr. Pei has been a consultant of Chinese law to global top 10 law firms. Mr. Pei served as Legal Counsel for Liberty & Co. Solicitors in London, UK, from 2002 to 2005. He was a lawyer with the Beijing Concord & Partners from 2005 to 2007, and then with Beijing office of the international law firm of Hogan Lovells from 2007 to 2008. He served as a Managing Partner with King & Bond Law Firm in Beijing from 2008 to 2010. Between 2010 to 2013, Mr. Pei served as the Co-founder and General Manager of Lawspirit Education Group Limited in Beijing, China. Mr. Pei is currently the National Senior Financial Planner of Chinese National Human Resources and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, and Chairman and General Manager of Guangdong Wu Jie Business Union Technology Co., Ltd. Mr. Pei also serves as the Chief Operating Officer of Sky Holding.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2015 / Methes Energies International Ltd. (NASDAQ:MEIL), announced today that it has received $250,000 Canadian Dollars (CDN$), as initial payment, for the sale of a Denami 600 biodiesel processor and a PP-MEC pre-treatment system to be installed in Havelock, Ontario, Canada. Additional scheduled payments are due in the near future upon shipment and installation of the equipment and the balance is due when the Denami 600 is re-commissioned and the pre-treatment system is installed at the buyer’s facility.

In order to fast track the installation the buyer has agreed to purchase the Denami 600 currently located at Methes’ Mississauga facility. The company expects to take approximately 3 weeks to dismantle the equipment at the Mississauga facility at which time the equipment will be loaded on trucks and shipped to the buyer.

The buyer, Drain Bros, will become the first facility in the world to use Methes’ pre-treatment system using the PP-MEC catalyst to process corn oil from a local ethanol plant.

John Loewen, COO of Methes said, “We are glad to have finalized this transaction and to be able to use the Denami 600 in Mississauga. The Denami 600 has recently been used for research, testing and marketing but has not been used in commercial biodiesel production in over two years so it made sense for Drain Bros and Methes to move it to their location. More importantly, we will be installing a pre-treatment system that will be running on corn oil and we’ll have the ability to showcase the technology in action to other potential clients. This is a major milestone and we are looking forward to help Drain Bros with their new biodiesel facility.”

Furthermore, Methes announced on January 20th 2015 that it had entered into an agreement to license its technology to a US client in exchange for an upfront payment of $4 Million which, as per the agreement, was due February 20th, 2015. Methes provided an extension to the payment date to allow its US client to finalize a pending transaction. At this time, though they express continuing interest in the transaction with Methes, they still have not finalized their other pending transaction.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2015 / Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Corporation (“APC” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: APC) (0E8.F) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has appointed Dr. David Webb to the Company’s Corporate Advisory Board.

Dr. Webb has been associated with numerous successful initiatives in the pharmaceutical industry and is recognized as a Distinguished Scholar in drug discovery and development. He is currently Adjunct Professor at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). At Scripps he has focused on several areas relevant to drug discovery including the detection of circulating tumor cells.

Prior to his current appointment, Dr. Webb held numerous high level positions in the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Webb joined Celgene-San Diego in September, 2003 as Vice President, Research and led its Research Division in placing six drugs into clinical development, four of which are still in clinical studies (Phases I and II) in the areas of cancer and inflammation/autoimmunity.

Between 1995 and 2003, he held a series of senior management positions in several biotechnology companies where he developed and led drug discovery programs focused on inflammation, asthma, cancer and diabetes. These included Syrrx (Vice President of Drug Discovery, 2001-2003) where he led a team that discovered and developed Alogliptin for type II diabetes; OSI Pharmaceuticals (Corporate Vice President, Drug Discovery 1999-2001) where he was associated with the development of the anticancer drug, Tarceva; and Cadus Pharmaceutical Corporation (Vice President of Research and Chief Scientific Officer, 1995-99). He was also Adjunct Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at New York Medical College during this period.

From 1987 to 1995, Dr. Webb was at Syntex, Inc., where he held the positions of Distinguished Scientist and Director, Institute of Immunology and Biological Sciences and was responsible for all the inflammation and immunology research programs world-wide. He was part of the development team for CelCept, and was a Consulting Professor of Cancer Biology at Stanford University.

Dr. Webb earned a BA, MA in Biology from California State University-Fullerton and his Ph.D. in Microbiology/Immunology at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey-New Brunswick. He was subsequently appointed a Dernham Junior Fellow of the American Cancer Society, California Division at UCSF.

Dr. Webb has performed exemplary service to the industry. He was Chairman of the Board of Sorrento Therapeutics from 2012-2013 and is also Chairman Emeritus of the Board of BIOCOM (2012), a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of CONNECT, a member of the Board of Directors of the La Jolla Institute of Allergy and Immunology.

Dr. Allen (Alexander) Krantz stated that “Dr. Webb has had a long and illustrious career in drug discovery and development and has distinguished himself in numerous areas of therapy, including cancer. He has certainly had the “magic touch” in consistently achieving extraordinary clinical success throughout his career. I am delighted that the Company will have his wise counsel and superb knowledge of immunology and the field of cancer therapeutics impacting our company’s programs.”

About APC

APC has been applying its Foundation Trinity(TM) Technology to proteins targeted for the treatment of cancers. Advanced targeted therapies are designed to attack primarily cancer cells and are expected to dominate the anti-cancer therapeutics’ market in the near future. The Company’s goals are not only to employ therapy targeted for tumor cells, but also to deliver combination therapy in a single, pure therapeutic agent, that can also, in turn, be combined with additional agents to enhance therapies. To achieve this end, it has been the Company’s intention to utilize a unique protein (and related systems), not only as a delivery vehicle to tumor cells, but also as a scaffold upon which to attach each anti-cancer entity to its own specific site on the protein surface — both key to efficient manufacturing and product development. The protein vehicle has emerged as a potential immunotherapeutic as it is implicated in activating the immune system to attack and help clear tumor cells. Immunotherapy is perhaps the most powerful current approach to cancer, and one of great commercial interest to the pharmaceutical industry.

Low Cost Market Leader Provides Significant Discount to Diesel without Subsidies

CUPERTINO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2015 / Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMTX), an advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals company, today announced that sales activity is accelerating in India after the Government of India deregulated sales by biodiesel producers into the diesel market in January 2015.

India’s GDP is slated to grow more than 8% per year for the next 5 to 10 years. The India diesel market is currently about 25 billion gallons per year, which is significantly larger than the current gasoline market of 5 billion gallons per year.

In October 2014, India ended fuel subsidies which had cost the Government of India approximately $11 billion during the prior year. In January 2015, the Government of India took further steps to support biodiesel production and distribution by allowing biodiesel manufacturers such as Aemetis to sell to customers directly, without distributing through the three national oil marketing companies.

“The elimination of the fuel subsidy and the termination of the requirement to sell biodiesel through government fuel marketers opens up a very large market in India,” said Eric McAfee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aemetis. “The existing commercial scale biodiesel producers in India have combined capacity of only about 250 million gallons per year, of which Aemetis is a leader in quality and price.”

“The removal of barriers to the sale of biodiesel in India has opened a market for up to 5 billion gallons per year of biodiesel at a 20% blend with diesel,” said Sanjeev Gupta, Managing Director of the Universal Biofuels Private Ltd. subsidiary of Aemetis.

Aemetis has production capacity of about 50 million gallons per year (190 million liters) at the Kakinada facility located on the East Coast of India.  At full production, the revenue potential from this refinery is approximately $180 million per year. Aemetis has expanded its sales team, selling to customers including the Indian Railways, bus and truck fleets, and diesel generators.

About Aemetis

Headquartered in Cupertino, California, Aemetis is an advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that replace traditional petroleum-based products by the conversion of first-generation ethanol and biodiesel plants into advanced biorefineries. Founded in 2006, Aemetis owns and operates a 60 million gallon per year ethanol production facility in the California Central Valley near Modesto. Aemetis also owns and operates a 50 million gallon per year renewable chemical and advanced fuel production facility on the East Coast of India producing high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin for customers in India and Europe. Aemetis operates a research and development laboratory at the Maryland Biotech Center, and holds a portfolio of patents and related technology licenses for the production of renewable fuels and biochemicals.

RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2015 / Scandium International Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Scandium International”) (TSX: SCY) announces today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ALCERECO Inc. of Kingston, Ontario, forming a strategic alliance to develop markets and applications for aluminum alloys containing scandium. To further that alliance, and to reinforce the capability of both companies to deliver product developed for Al-Sc alloy markets, Scandium International and ALCERECO have also signed an offtake agreement governing sales terms of scandium oxide product (scandia) produced from the Nyngan Scandium Project in NSW, Australia. The offtake agreement specifies deliveries of scandium oxide product commencing in early 2017.

Scandium as an alloying agent in aluminum allows for aluminum metal products that are much stronger, more easily weldable and exhibit improved performance at higher temperatures than current aluminum based materials. This means lighter structures, lower manufacturing costs and improved performance in areas that aluminum alloys do not currently compete.

MOU AND OFFTAKE AGREEMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

– The MOU covers areas of joint cooperation and development of aluminum alloys that contain and are enhanced by the addition of scandium,
– The MOU recognizes the specialized capabilities ALCERECO holds for the design, manufacture, and testing of Al-Sc alloy materials,
– The offtake agreement outlines standard sale terms on 7,500 kg of scandia per annum, for a term of three years beginning in 2017, which can be extended, and
– The offtake agreement contains both fixed and variable pricing components, which are subject to confidentiality.

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

“This strategic alliance allows SCY to partner with an established alloy technology group to design, develop and demonstrate fit-for-purpose scandium-content aluminum alloys for existing aluminum market applications. The scandia offtake agreement directly supports the efforts of ALCERECO to pursue these individual markets, and demonstrates the keen interest in scandium-content products that exists in the aluminum alloy markets today.”

Gary Economo, President of ALCERECO commented:

“Our longstanding efforts to develop markets that leverage our in-house expertise in scandium/aluminum have been delayed in the past by the lack of secure sources of scandium. This agreement allows ALCERECO in concert with Scandium International to move forward with joint ventures in several areas now that the supply risks have been reduced.”

ABOUT SCANDIUM INTERNATIONAL MINING CORP.

SCY is focused on developing the Nyngan Scandium Project into the world’s first scandium-only producing mine. The Company owns a 100% interest in both the Nyngan Scandium Project, and the adjacent Honeybugle Scandium Property, in New South Wales, Australia. SCY’s interest in both Nyngan and Honeybugle can potentially be reduced to 80% in the future, based on certain current granted option rights.

The Company filed a NI 43-101 technical report disclosing Measured and Indicated Resources on the Nyngan Project in March of 2010. The Company also filed a NI 43-101 technical report on a preliminary economic assessment of the Nyngan Scandium Project in October of 2014, has completed extensive metallurgical test work on the resource, and filed US patent applications on key process steps. (Note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.) In addition, SCY owns a 100% interest in the Tørdal Scandium/REE property in southern Norway, where we continue our exploration efforts, specifically for scandium and REE minerals.
