Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp revealed that its Alces Lake field camp has reopened, and the team has mobilized to kick off the annual exploration program at its high-grade rare earth element (REE) and gallium Alces Lake property, in northern Saskatchewan. The Toronto, Ontario-based company is looking at its largest ever drilling program with over 12,000 metres (m) planned for 2022. Drilling will continue to evaluate the Wilson, Richard Charles, Bell and including, Ivan, Dante, and Dylan (WRCB) discovery area to determine the size, orientation, and continuity of high-grade mineralization, said the company. Appia is looking at drilling on the trend northwest and southeast of the WRCB area to evaluate the potential of the Hinge, Ermacre, Quartzite and Danny targets as well as Strocen and Augier to investigate significant tonnage potential.
New Age Metals (TSX-V:NAM, OTCQB:NMTLF) Inc has announced new palladium (Pd) assay results for channel samples taken from a trench excavated on an area of mineralized outcrops in the footwall to the Dana South Zone at its River Valley palladium deposit near Sudbury, Ontario, which included grades of up to 6.1 grams per tonne (g/t) palladium, 1.9 g/t platinum, and 0.3% copper. The company said the palladium mineralization could represent an opportunity to expand Dana South eastwards, or is a new discovery in the footwall to the River Valley deposit. “The Pd mineralized potential of the footwall to the River Valley Deposit continues to impress. From discovery of the Pine Zone in 2015 (1 km north of the Dana South Zone) to indications of mineralized footwall at Lismer North and now at Dana South, the potential for exciting new discoveries at River Valley remains surprisingly high,” New Age Metals (TSX-V:NAM, OTCQB:NMTLF) CEO Harry Barr said in a statement. “As Russia is the world’s largest producer of palladium, the current sanctions have driven the palladium price to new all-time highs this week,” Barr added.

In a statement, Imperial Helium said that the Sub-Salt Zone (SSZ) gas is more valuable as it has 18.6% more helium and essentially no carbon dioxide (CO2), eliminating expenses associated with removing the CO2 and putting the acid gas back into the ground.
Kontrol Technologies Corp (OTCQB:KNRLF, NEO:KNR) said it has been awarded a $9.7 million heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and automation project for a new high-rise building in the Greater Toronto Area.

Alternus Energy PLC (EURONEXT:ALT) said it has completed installation of its 13.6 megawatt (MW) project at Rotterdam the Hague Airport (RTHA), increasing its total operating assets by 10% and doubling its footprint in the Netherlands. “This is another significant milestone for Alternus as it’s the first project we have delivered from initial development through to operation confirming our status as a fully integrated IPP. The entire process was managed in-house and was delivered on time and in budget, despite the complex nature of installing over 36,000 solar panels at an airport and connecting to the grid,” Vincent Browne, Alternus Energy CEO, said in a statement. Located beside the runway, the project was developed and installed by its engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) arm Unisun Energy Europe. Installation of the project began in mid-October 2021 and commercial operation date (COD) was reached at the end of last month. Operations and maintenance services for the project will be provided by Unisun subsidiary Uper Energy Europe.

Goldseek Resources Inc has provided further details of a 4,000-metre drill program currently underway at the Beschefer project, 30 kilometres southwest of Wallbridge Mining Company Limited's Fenelon gold project in Quebec. The exploration company said it has started the program with five holes in the Central Shallow and Deep zones with the objective of developing further continuity in the geometry and grade of the modelled lens. Drilling has targeted areas where high metal factors were historically intercepted associated with strong feldspathic alteration hosting different forms of disseminated pyrite, it added. "These zones have the potential to deliver strong metal factor intercepts, so we are optimistic about the prospects of our infill and expansion holes planned,” the company’s president and CEO Jon Deluce said in a statement. “We look forward to providing a visual observation update once the logging is complete."
Newrange Gold Corp announced that the first diamond drill hole on the Primary Target Horizon (PTH) at its 100%-owned North Birch project in the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt northeast of Red Lake, Ontario has confirmed the presence of a strong deformation zone, well over 100 metres (m) wide, as originally interpreted from the geophysics. The explorer revealed that the sheared and folded basalts and iron formation (IF) also display moderate to intense carbonate alteration and local quartz veining. Pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization occur as disseminations, stringers and, locally, as 'clots' within quartz veins and veinlets, it added. "The first hole is encouraging as it is an important step in confirming our exploration model at North Birch," the company’s president and CEO Robert Archer said in a statement. "The structural environment as interpreted from airborne magnetics and LiDAR imagery is the basis for identifying the PTH.”

"There are plans to re-engineer the chemistry of the current NMC battery by eliminating cobalt and increasing the proportion of manganese in future lithium-ion nickel manganese EV batteries," he added.

PharmaDrug Inc announced that interim positive findings from its ongoing prostate efficacy study have demonstrated that the company's enteric coated, oral formulation of cepharanthine (PD-001), when combined with cabazitaxel, significantly reduces tumor volume and provides improved prostate cancer tumor growth inhibition. These interim results, provided to the company on the final day of study dosing, will be used to strengthen claims in its recently submitted provisional patent application which sets forth claims related to the use of cepharanthine plus cabazitaxel and/or other taxane family members used in combination to treat primary, metastatic and chemotherapy-resistant prostate cancer, PharmaDrug said. "While esophageal cancer continues to be our main focus with a goal to move towards an FDA clinical trial, we believe that cepharanthine will ultimately show a wider potential use in the treatment of cancers, specifically in combination with the current standard of care,” said Daniel Cohen, CEO of PharmaDrug in a statement. “We will continue to explore cepharanthine's potential therapeutic relationship with existing standard of care chemotherapies."
