POUSO ALEGRE, Brazil, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Leading construction machinery manufacturer XCMG (000425.SZ) showcased its mining equipment series – including a 90-ton mining excavator which was recently delivered to the country – and intelligent autonomous machines at a special promotion event in Pouso Alegre, in Minas Gerais state in Brazil.

The event marks a milestone for XCMG on their entry into the Brazilian mining equipment market, bringing ground-breaking achievements in digital mining, autonomous driving as well as remote control. The newly introduced technologies and products will boost the local Brazilian mining industry to enable improved safety management with lower operation costs.

During the event, XCMG delivered its first 90 ton hydraulic excavator and received booking order for four 75-ton excavators, eight 90-ton mining trucks, twenty remotely controlled 21-ton excavators and two 7-ton loaders.

A representative from the authority responsible for economic development in Minas Gerais – CODEMGE – noted that the state, with its major mining industry, will benefit from having such high-quality engineering equipment from a leading manufacturer such as XCMG to jumpstart its economic development.

“Mining equipment is an emerging pillar of XCMG and an important area for the company to achieve its strategic goals,” said Wang Yansong, Vice President of XCMG and President of XCMG Brazil. “XCMG will seize opportunities in the Brazilian mining market to provide comprehensive, intelligent construction solutions for the industry that are safe, efficient and customer-centric.”

Highlighted products unveiled at the event include:

XE900D, the hydraulic excavator with a total weight of 90 tons and a 535-horsepower engine. The machine is a first-choice product for mid-to-large scale opencast mining tasks, such as for operation in Brazilian metal mines for iron, copper and gold, thanks to its best-in-class power, digging force and advanced stability, durability and safety. It also brings higher efficiency while maintaining a low level of fuel consumption.

The ET120 walking excavator and the XE225BR intelligent hydraulic excavator  autonomously operated but controlled remotely. These two unmanned machines have significant advantages in terrain mobility and environment adaptability, and are a top choice for local construction partners working in complicated geographical conditions.

A representative from the Brazilian Mining Association noted that XCMG is an influential partner in Brazil and indeed South America. The association is looking forward to developing a closer relationship with XCMG that is mutually beneficial for the industrial community.

PHOENIX, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Creative Medical Technology Holdings Inc., (OTC – CELZ) announced today positive preclinical data supporting the utilization of its ImmCelz® cell based immunotherapy for treatment of stroke.  In an animal model of ischemia stroke, the middle cerebral artery ligation model, administration of ImmCelz® resulted in 34% reduction in infarct volume, whereas control bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells reduced infarct volume by 21%.  Additionally, improvements in functional recovery where observed using the Rotarod test.  At 28 days after induction of stroke the animals receiving ImmCelz® had superior running time (92% of non-stroke controls) compared to animals which received bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (73% of non-stroke control). Animals that received saline had a running time that was 50% of non-stroke controls. 

“The regenerative potential of immune cells that have been programmed by stem cells is a fascinating and novel area of research.” Said Dr. Amit Patel, coinventor of ImmCelz®, and board member of the Company. “Conceptual advantages of using reprogrammed T cells include higher migratory ability due to smaller size, as well as ability to replicate and potentially form “regenerative memory cells.”

“This data, which is covered by our previous filed patents, such as no. 15/987739, Generation of autologous immune modulatory cells for treatment of neurological conditions, demonstrate that immune modulation via this stem cell based method may be a novel and superior way of addressing the $30 billion dollar market for stroke therapeutics¹.” Said Dr. Thomas Ichim, coinventor of the patent and Chief Scientific Officer of the Company. “The fact that this technology, which has priority back to 2017, is demonstrating such stunning results, motivates us to consider filing an Investigational New Drug Application for use in stroke.”

Creative Medical Technology Holdings possesses numerous issued patents in the area of cellular therapy including patent no. 10,842,815 covering use of T regulatory cells for spinal disc regeneration, patent no. 9,598,673 covering stem cell therapy for disc regeneration, patent no. 10,792,310 covering regeneration of ovaries using endothelial progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells, patent no. 8,372,797 covering use of stem cells for erectile dysfunction, and patent no. 7,569,385 licensed from the University of California covering a novel stem cell type. 

“While stroke historically has been a major area of unmet medical need, the rise in stroke cases , as well as the fact that younger people are increasingly falling victim to stroke, strongly motivates us to accelerate our developmental programs and to continue to explore participation of Big Pharma in this space.” Said Timothy Warbington, President and CEO of the Company.  “We are eager to replicate the existing experiments start compiling the dossier needed to take ImmCelz® into humans using the Investigational New Drug Application (IND) route through the FDA.”

About the Dixie Project

The Dixie Project is 100% owned, comprised of 9,140 hectares of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres, and is located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario. The project is accessible year-round via a 15 minute drive on a paved highway which runs the length of the northern claim boundary and a network of well-maintained logging roads.

The Dixie Project hosts two principal styles of gold mineralization:

• High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge and Arrow zones). Hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and localized near regional-scale D2 fold axes. These mineralization styles are also typical of the significant mined deposits of the Red Lake district.

• High-grade disseminated gold with broad moderate to lower grade envelopes (LP Fault). The LP Fault is a significant gold-hosting structure which has been seismically imaged to extend to 14 kilometres depth (Zeng and Calvert, 2006), and has been interpreted by Great Bear to have up to 18 kilometres of strike length on the Dixie property. High-grade gold mineralization is controlled by structural and geological contacts, and moderate to lower-grade disseminated gold surrounds and flanks the high-grade intervals. The dominant gold-hosting stratigraphy consists of felsic sediments and volcanic units.

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a well-financed gold exploration company managed by a team with a track record of success in mineral exploration.  Great Bear is focused in the prolific Red Lake gold district in northwest Ontario, where the company controls over 330 km² of highly prospective tenure across 5 projects: the flagship Dixie Project (100% owned), the Pakwash Property (earning a 100% interest), the Dedee Property (earning a 100% interest), the Sobel Property (earning a 100% interest), and the Red Lake North Property (earning a 100% interest) all of which are accessible year-round through existing roads.

SALMON, Idaho, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Freeman Gold Corp. (CSE:FMAN) (FSE:3WU) (“Freeman” or  the “Company”) Will Randall, President and CEO, is pleased to provide an update for its 100% owned Lemhi gold project, located in Idaho, USA (“Lemhi” or “Project”).

Two diamond drill rigs completed 35 cored drill holes totaling 7,149 m (please refer to Table 1 for further details). The drilling campaign confirmed the presence of numerous structurally controlled stacked, flat lying gold mineralized horizons initially identified by 70,196 meters of historical drilling conducted between 1984 and 2012. Detailed geological logging of the new core has also identified mineralized zones of varying thicknesses, ranging from 10 to over 100 metres similar to that found in previous historic drilling and drill sections. Core samples have been sent to ALS Minerals Division, Vancouver, BC, and results are expected in the next 4 to 8 weeks. To date, 1,805 drill core and rock grab samples and 358 soil samples have arrived at ALS Minerals Division, Vancouver, BC. ALS is currently quoting turn-around times exceeding 60 days for analytical services. An additional 275 soil samples were sent to SGS Canada Inc., Burnaby, BC. 

Will Randall, President & CEO, commented, “During the execution of our first 5,000 metre twin and infill diamond drill program it became clear that historically defined zones have greater continuity than expected. As a result, we extended our Phase 1 diamond drill campaign to include additional infill and step out holes designed to test zones beyond historical limits. We are extremely pleased with this initial drill program, both the execution in challenging times as well as the extent and thickness of the flat lying mineralized structures. We have successfully confirmed and extended the presence of these stacked mineralized structures over a 600 x 700 metre area from surface down to over 260 metres deep. We look forward to updating shareholders as assay results become available.”

BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Cigna Foundation today announced the open call for applications for its Healthier Kids For Our Future® grant program, part of a five-year, $25 million global initiative focused on improving the health and well-being of children.

In 2021, the program will award an additional $5 million in grants to continue to support schools, nonprofits and community organizations focused on addressing food insecurity and the mental health and emotional well-being of children, with emphasis on loneliness, anxiety, depression and suicide prevention.

“Our studies show that children are among the most resilient in our communities, but this year has presented challenges and uncertainty on a much larger scale due to the pandemic and other factors,” said Susan Stith, executive director, Cigna Foundation. “We know the best way to reach these families is by working with the schools and community organizations that serve them every day. We are so proud of the work we’ve accomplished with our nonprofit partners to date, and look forward to making an even greater impact in 2021.”

Since its launch in 2019, Healthier Kids For Our Future® has awarded over $8 million in grants to nonprofit organizations working to reduce childhood hunger and improve mental health in our country’s youth. This program furthers Cigna’s commitment to addressing social determinants of health and eliminating barriers to care for all communities as part of its Building Equity and Equality Program. 

Nonprofits are invited to apply for grants beginning Jan. 25. The grant cycle will close on Feb. 26, and grant award announcements are expected in spring 2021.

As it has since the program’s inception, the Cigna Foundation is looking to partner with school systems and surrounding communities – including clinicians, and local and national nonprofits – to supplement existing programming for children to help close gaps both within and outside of the school environment.

Programming requirements should include:

• Food insecurity, hunger or nutrition education programs.
• Mental health programs with a focus on loneliness, anxiety, depression and suicide prevention.
• Grants will be considered for school-based or non-school-based programming, and summertime programs. In some instances, multi-year requests will be considered.

To determine grant eligibility, start here. In addition, an information session for applicants will be held in mid-January. Details will be available on the website early next year.
