Castle Biosciences Presents Data on DecisionDx®-Melanoma and DecisionDx® DiffDx™-Melanoma Tests at American Society of Dermatopathology (ASDP) 57th Virtual Annual Meeting

Castle Biosciences Presents Data on DecisionDx®-Melanoma and DecisionDx® DiffDx™-Melanoma Tests at American Society of Dermatopathology (ASDP) 57th Virtual Annual Meeting

FRIENDSWOOD, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a skin cancer diagnostics company providing personalized genomic information to improve cancer treatment decisions, today announced the presentation of data on two of its skin cancer gene expression profile tests during the 57th Meeting of The American Society of Dermatopathology (ASDP).

DecisionDx®-Melanoma:

“Identifying predictors of sentinel lymph node metastasis in cutaneous melanoma patients using molecular and clinicopathologic high-risk features” was presented by Federico Monzon, M.D.

DecisionDx-Melanoma is Castle’s gene expression profile test that uses an individual patient’s tumor biology to predict individual risk of cutaneous melanoma metastasis or recurrence, as well as sentinel lymph node (SLN) positivity, independent of traditional staging factors.

“DecisionDx-Melanoma uses primary tumor biology to delineate patient metastatic risk, including the risk of SLN metastasis,” said Monzon. “In this study, among all features evaluated, DecisionDx-Melanoma was the most significant factor in predicting rates of SLN positivity, justifying a role for the test alongside other commonly used features in considering the sentinel lymph node biopsy surgical procedure.”

Study methods and findings:

  • Authors modeled decision trees using the statistical R package for a cohort of 3,093 patients with cutaneous melanoma to determine which molecular and clinicopathologic features could best stratify the risk of patients’ receiving a positive result from a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).
  • DecisionDx-Melanoma was the most significant factor in distinguishing between high and low SLN-positivity rates (p<0.001).

    • Patients with a Class 2 (high-risk) DecisionDx-Melanoma result under age 75 or with a very high mitotic rate (>10/mm2)had the highest SLN-positivity rates (>20%).
    • Conversely, patients with a Class 1A result over age 47 with tumors with no mitoses and those age 47 or younger with a Breslow thickness of 0.85mm or less had the lowest positivity rates (<5%), indicating they could potentially forego SLNB.
  • Patients of all ages and Breslow thicknesses with a Class 2 result had a greater than 10% risk of SLN positivity, indicating that a Class 2 DecisionDx-Melanoma result can be considered a high-risk factor when considering the SLNB procedure for individual patients.

DecisionDx® DiffDx™-Melanoma:

“Development and validation of a diagnostic gene expression profile test for ambiguous or difficult-to-diagnose pigmented skin lesions” was presented by Sarah Estrada, M.D., FCAP.

DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma is designed to aid dermatopathologists in characterizing difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesions.

“Approximately 300,000 melanocytic lesions biopsied each year cannot be confidently identified as either malignant or benign, so the nature of these lesions remains ambiguous with discordant rates of diagnoses ranging from 25-43%,” said Estrada. “The accuracy metrics shown in the development and validation study suggest DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma could help alleviate uncertainty in difficult-to-diagnose lesions, leading to decreased unnecessary procedures while appropriately identifying at-risk patients.”

Study methods and findings:

  • DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma was designed to refine diagnoses of melanocytic neoplasms by providing clinicians with an objective ancillary tool with high accuracy.
  • A total of 503 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded(FFPE) tissue samples sourced from primary cutaneous melanoma tumors and melanocytic nevi were used, of which 273 were benign and 230 were malignant lesions. Samples underwent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to evaluate expression of 76 genes with potential diagnostic utility.
  • Artificial intelligence approaches were used to select and prioritize gene sets, ultimately identifying 32 differentially expressed genes that reliably classified benign versus malignant melanocytic lesions.
  • The resulting 35-gene expression profile (GEP) test, DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma, (32 discriminant genes and 3 control genes) accurately diagnosed malignant and benign cases with 99.1% sensitivity, 94.3% specificity, 93.6% positive predictive value (PPV) and 99.2% negative predictive value (NPV).

About DecisionDx-Melanoma

DecisionDx®-Melanoma is a gene expression profile test that uses an individual patient’s tumor biology to predict individual risk of cutaneous melanoma metastasis or recurrence, as well as sentinel lymph node positivity, independent of traditional staging factors, and has been studied in more than 5,700 patient samples. Using tissue from the primary melanoma, the test measures the expression of 31 genes. The test has been validated in four archival risk of recurrence studies of 901 patients and six prospective risk of recurrence studies including more than 1,600 patients. Prediction of the likelihood of sentinel lymph node positivity has also been validated in two prospective multicenter studies that included more than 3,000 patients. Impact on patient management plans for one of every two patients tested has been demonstrated in four multicenter and single-center studies including more than 560 patients. The consistent performance and accuracy demonstrated in these studies provides confidence in disease management plans that incorporate DecisionDx-Melanoma test results. Through September 30, 2020, DecisionDx-Melanoma has been ordered more than 64,560 times for use in patients with cutaneous melanoma.

More information about the test and disease can be found at www.SkinMelanoma.com.

About DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma

DecisionDx® DiffDx™-Melanoma is designed to aid dermatopathologists in characterizing difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesions. Of the 2 million suspicious pigmented lesions biopsied annually in the U.S., Castle estimates that approximately 300,000 of those cannot be confidently classified as either benign or malignant through traditional histopathology methods. DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma classifies these lesions as: benign (gene expression profile suggestive of benign neoplasm); intermediate-risk (gene expression profile cannot exclude malignancy); or malignant (gene expression profile suggestive of melanoma). Interpreted in the context of other clinical, laboratory and histopathologic information, DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma is designed to add diagnostic clarity and confidence for dermatopathologists while helping dermatologists deliver more informed patient management plans.

Russell Ball, Chief Executive Officer of Calibre stated: “The infill program continues to deliver results ahead of our expectations, with higher than expected grades and broader widths in the case of Panteon underground and the Limon open-pits. With the infill drilling program complete, we recently transitioned to resource expansion drilling. The Panteon underground deposit continues to deliver strong results and we expect the deposit to grow to the southeast.”

Calibre’s integrated infill, resource expansion and first pass exploration drilling program continues with 16 diamond drill rigs at the Limon and Libertad operations and the Pavon project. The results discussed below represent a combination of (i) 7,894 metres of infill drilling from the Limon open pits, Panteon underground and Jabali West underground deposits, and (ii) 13,779 metres of resource expansion and exploration drilling at the Panteon underground and Limon North (Tigra/Chaparral) prospects at Limon, as well as at Jabali West underground, and the Rosario, Tranca, Nancite and Escandalo prospects at Libertad.

Panteon
Underground Deposit

Following up on earlier 2020 drill results, which confirmed the relative positions of two parallel high-grade shoots along the southern extension of the Panteon vein system, the Company completed infill drilling on the two zones returning strong gold grades over broad, mineable widths:

  • LIM-20-4476 intercepted 62.67 g/t Au over 4.0m ETW, approximately 30m above LIM-20-4468; and
  • LIM-20-4468 intercepted 28.41 g/t Au over 6.8m ETW, outlining a particularly high-grade zone within 20 meters of historic mine workings (see news release figures link below).

Following the completion of infill drilling, the focus shifted to resource expansion drilling to test the potential for mineralization down-plunge and along strike to the southeast. The initial step out hole (LIM-20-4485) intercepted 8.19 g/t Au over 3.7 metres extending the southern shoot approximately 40 metres to the southeast (see drill results news release announced April 9, 2020) and (drill results news release September 15, 2020).

Calibre is continuing to drill the Panteon vein system along strike to the southeast toward its projected intersection with the Santa Pancha vein system. The Santa Pancha underground mine is located approximately 150 metres east of the Panteon vein system. Over the past ten months, Calibre has been advancing underground development to the Panteon vein system to mine ore starting in the first quarter of 2021.

On June 3, 2020, Calibre announced a maiden resource estimate at Panteon which contained an Indicated Mineral Resource of 90,000 tonnes at an average grade of 9.88 g/t Au for 29,000 contained gold ounces, and additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 303,000 tonnes at an average grade of 6.79 g/t Au for 66,000 contained gold ounces (for additional details see news release here).

Limon Open Pit Deposits (
Limon Central,
Pozo
Bono
and
Tigra
-Chaparral
)

Infill drilling continues to confirm the continuity of gold grades along the Limon vein system, which hosts a series of near-surface, open-pit mineral resources along a northwesterly trend in excess of two kilometres. Infill drilling to upgrade resources from Inferred to Indicated classification in each of the deposits has returned results above expectations. Examples include:

  • Drilling below the active Limon Central open-pit reserve intercepted 7.9 metres ETW grading 3.24 g/t Au (LIM-20-4478) and 23.6 metres ETW grading 11.89 g/t Au (LIM-20-4489);
  • Approximately 750 metres to the south, drilling at the Pozo Bono deposit returned 16.97 g/t Au over 12.2 metres ETW (LIM-20-4457) and 20.77 g/t Au over 1.2 metres ETW (LIM-20-4474);
  • Approximately one kilometer to the north, drilling at the Tigra-Chaparral deposit returned 10.1 metres ETW grading 5.28 g/t Au (LIM-20-4462) and 12.9 metres ETW grading 5.09 g/t Au (LIM-20-4471).

The combination of the above, along with previously reported results from the Limon Norte deposit, further underscore the robust character of near-surface gold mineralization along the Limon vein trend. With infill drilling along the trend completed, the focus of drilling has transitioned to testing resource expansion opportunities along strike and down-dip of the principal zones of high-grade mineralization.

As at December 31, 2019, the Limon Mine Complex included open-pit Probable Reserves of 1.4 million tonnes grading 4.25 g/t Au containing 195,000 ounces of gold. Additional open-pit mineral resources include Indicated resources totaling 0.5 million tonnes grading 4.29 g/t Au containing 62,000 ounces of gold (exclusive of mineral reserves), and Inferred resources totaling 3.8 million tonnes grading 5.49 g/t Au containing 679,000 ounces of gold (for additional details see news release here). Results of the combined infill and step-out exploration drilling will be integrated into an updated mineral resource estimate prepared as of December 31, 2020, with a data cut-off date of November 7, 2020.

Jabali
West Underground Deposit
(Libertad
)

The Jabali West deposit is located directly below the Jabali Antena open-pit. Since the resumption of drilling in July, Calibre has completed 17 infill holes (2,600 metres), with highlights since the September 15 news release of:

  • 8.80 g/t Au over 5.6 metres ETW from 175.1 to 181.5 metres (JB20-499); and
  • 6.30 g/t Au over 7.6 metres ETW from 83.9 to 92.9 metres (JB20-509).

For a full list and location of results, please reference the drill hole table and figures link below.

Calibre is now advancing step-out drilling to test the potential to extend the resource which remains open down-plunge to the west.

Results of the combined infill and step-out exploration drilling will be integrated into an updated mineral resource estimate prepared as of December 31, 2020, with a data cut-off date of December 7, 2020.

As at December 31, 2019, the Jabali West Inferred Mineral Resource totaled 1.2 million tonnes averaging 7.87 g/t Au containing 315,000 ounces of gold (see Technical Report titled “The La Libertad Mine, Chontales Department, Nicaragua” available on SEDAR).

Nancite
Prospect
(Libertad
)

The Nancite prospect follows a four kilometre east-west trending structure located approximately five hundred metres south, and parallel to, the Jabali vein trend. Since the resumption of drilling in July, Calibre has drilled an additional 11 holes (2,402 metres) of first pass exploration drilling focused on the upper 125 metres of a one kilometre section of the four kilometre east-west trending structure. Drill hole NA-20-010 intercepted 17.26g/t over 1.5m, the highest-grade intercept on the multi-kilometre trend to date. We are evaluating the results to determine whether future exploration work is warranted.

Rosario Prospect
(Libertad
)

The Rosario deposit is located six kilometres southwest of the Libertad mill and currently hosts an inferred resource of 260,000 tonnes averaging 2.08 g/t Au containing 17,000 ounces of gold. Calibre has completed 3,200 metres of step-out and infill drilling in 14 holes, 9 of which are reported here (see drill results news release September 15, 2020). Step-out drilling to expand the resource laterally and at depth has intercepted significant gold mineralization, including 7.96 g/t Au over 5.1m ETW (RS-20-060) and 2.34 g/t Au over 14.3m ETW (RS-20-052).

The Rosario deposit is localized along a major northeasterly trending structure that marks the northern margin of the Cosmotillo vein cluster. During the first quarter of 2020, Calibre initiated a comprehensive field and data review of legacy surface and drill hole data to better understand the relationship between structural controls to gold mineralization and related hydrothermal alteration at Libertad. This work resulted in the recognition of the Cosmotillo area as an eight-square kilometer zone of barren, silica-clay lithocap style alteration that characteristically overlies unexposed bonanza style epithermal gold mineralization similar to the vein systems at Jabali and Panteon. Calibre recently completed drilling a series of deeper exploration holes (approximately 150 metres below the current Rosario mineral resource) to test the potential for higher-grade, bonanza style gold mineralization at depth. Assay results are pending.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Schrödinger, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDGR), whose physics-based software platform is transforming the way therapeutics and materials are discovered, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

“We are executing on our strategic plan across every area of our business,” said Schrödinger CEO Ramy Farid, Ph.D. “We’re excited about the strong growth we’ve seen in our software business and the rapid progress of our internal and collaborative programs to discover and develop therapeutics.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

Revenue was $25.8 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 29% compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Software revenue was $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 42% over the third quarter in 2019. Drug discovery revenue was $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2020, a decline of 24% versus the third quarter of 2019.

Gross profit reached $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 43% over the third quarter in 2019. Software gross margin was 81% in the third quarter, unchanged versus the third quarter of 2019.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $30.7 million, an increase of 40% over the third quarter of 2019.

Other income, which includes gains on equity investments and changes in fair value of such investments, was $18.7 million in the third quarter of 2020 versus a loss of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Other income for the third quarter of 2020 included an $18.0 million non-cash gain from our equity in Relay Therapeutics which completed its IPO in July 2020.

Net income, after adjusting for non-controlling interests, was $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Schrödinger ended the third quarter of 2020 with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $599.5 million, an increase of $315.0 million from the end of the second quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of net proceeds of $325.6 million from the equity financing in the third quarter.

“In the third quarter, we continued the excellent momentum across our business established in the first half of 2020,” said Schrödinger CFO Joel Lebowitz. “With our strong balance sheet and growing revenue, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to invest in R&D and execute on all elements of our strategy.”

Third Quarter Business Update

Driving growth in our Software business

  • 42% revenue growth in the third quarter of 2020, driven by growth in both Life Sciences and Materials Science revenue

Increased Financial resources

  • Raised $325.6 million of net proceeds from an equity follow-on offering
  • Ending cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities for the third quarter were $599.5 million

Advancing internal discovery programs and pipeline progress

  • Expect to initiate IND enabling studies in 2021 on most advanced internal programs
  • Presenting data on our MALT 1 inhibitor program at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition; progressing research in single agent and combination studies targeting B-cell lymphomas

Advancing the underlying science of our platform and methods

  • Several scientific publications describing and validating our differentiated computational platform

    • Improved methods for accurately modeling the relative binding free energies of metalloenzyme inhibitors
    • Improved approaches to optimize binding selectivity
    • Validation and extension of our technologies to more comprehensively support macrocycle design and optimization

“We are very pleased with the significant progress we have made this year on our software business, our drug discovery collaborations and our internal pipeline,” said Dr. Farid. “Our ongoing commitment to advance the science underlying our industry-leading physics-based computational platform to achieve new breakthroughs will drive our continued success.”

Business Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

While we did not see material impacts to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic during the first nine months of 2020, we have identified certain market risks that, if they materialize, could affect the growth of our software business and the timing of our drug discovery revenues for at least the remainder of 2020. Some of our software customers may experience increasing budgetary pressures, which may cause them to delay or reduce purchases. In addition, our sales force has limited in-person interactions, and their ability to attend industry conferences and events that promote and expand knowledge of our company and platform has been hampered. Relative to our drug discovery programs, certain programs, particularly ones that are in clinical studies or preparing to enter clinical studies, could be delayed which could result in delays in achieving milestones and related revenue. While there remains uncertainty about the extent of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not envision a long-term impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to execute on our long-term strategy.

Tower Semiconductor Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results and Guides Fourth Quarter Significant Revenue Increase

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ: TSEM & TASE: TSEM) reported today its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third
Quarter Results Overview

Revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $310 million, as compared to $310 million in the prior quarter and $312 million in the third quarter of 2019.

G
ross profit and operating profit for the third quarter of 2020 were $53 million and $19 million as compared to $58 million and $22 million in the prior quarter and as compared to $58 million and $23 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Net profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $15 million, or $0.14 basic and diluted earnings per share, as compared to net profit of $19 million, or $0.18 basic and diluted earnings per share in the prior quarter, and $22 million or $0.21 basic and diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2019.

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2020 was $79 million, as compared to $82 million in the prior quarter and to $75 million in the third quarter of 2019.

As announced in the beginning of September, the Company’s IT safeguards identified a security incident on some of its systems. The Company took immediate actions to prevent damage, shutting down all of its Israeli and US IT systems, hence halting those facilities. In less than a week, all factories were returned to operational capability. Due to the effective procedures, there was no damage to the functional quality of the work in progress, with Company and customer data protected. Activities further securing the Company’s IT environment were put in place.

The impact of this event on Company’s operations was between 8-12 days of missed new wafer starts and, as the incident occurred during the last month of the quarter, during a demand ramp, it lost multiple weeks of full fab activity levels.

Cash flow generated from operations in the third quarter of 2020 was $69 million with investment in fixed assets, net of $67 million that included payments related to the 300mm facility capacity expansion program. In addition, in the third quarter of 2020, the company repaid $26 million of its debt.

Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020 was a record of $1.41 billion, as compared to $1.35 billion as of December 31, 2019, and current ratio as of September 30, 2020 was 4.1X as compared to 4.3X as of December 31, 2019.

Business Outlook

Tower Semiconductor expects revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 to be $340 million, with an upward or downward range of 5%, demonstrating 10% quarter over quarter growth and 11% year over year growth.

Mr. Russell Ellwanger, Chief Executive Officer of Tower Semiconductor, commented: “Our fourth quarter of 2020 revenue growth guidance, 17% quarter over quarter and 14% year over year organic, driven by continued and increased strength in our RF and Power IC served markets, sets a good bridge to the new year. We look forward to 2021, with RF and Power IC continuing the present trend and increases in both industrial sensors and power discrete served markets, as evidenced by customer demand forecasts, and backed by market research reports. This strength should couple well with our increased 300mm and 200mm capability and capacity expansions.”

Bunker Hill Mining Targets a Rapid Production Restart; Preliminary Economic Assessment Expected in Q1-2021

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bunker Hill Mining Corporation (the “Company”) (CSE: BNKR) is pleased to report that it has launched a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), due in Q1-2021, to assess the potential to quickly restart production for minimal capital expenditure at its Bunker Hill Mine located in Idaho’s Silver Valley, USA.

Sam Ash, CEO of Bunker Hill Mining, stated: “We believe that there is strong potential to quickly restart production, which stopped in the early 1980s, for minimal capital by focusing on the de-watered upper areas of the mine, utilizing existing infrastructure, and based on truck haulage and toll milling methods. The rapid restart would allow us to self-fund our ongoing high grade silver exploration, immediately crystalize the value created through exploration, and demonstrate our ability to successfully operate the mine based on modern techniques.”

The PEA will be based on the resource published on September 28, 2020. Consulting Engineers from MineTech International LLC have been engaged to deliver the PEA, which will be conducted in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-01”). The focus will be upon the study of mining operations conducted above the current water level (Level 11). This will include a systematic study of existing infrastructure, capital cost estimates, operating cost estimates, metallurgy, resource modeling, mine design and scheduling, ventilation, haulage, and marketing. The key areas of trade-off study will include: 1) Truck haulage from Russell Tunnel vs rail haulage from Kellogg Tunnel; 2) Toll-milling vs construction of various in-house processing options; 3) Sensitivity to production rate from 400-1000 TPD; Contract vs. Owner-Operator Mining; and Grade vs Tonnage trade-offs.

In addition, the Company continues to make good progress on its ongoing high grade silver focused exploration campaign which commenced September. Particular focus will be made to follow up recently released drill results in the near surface UTZ target area with the intent of adding to the recently reported resource.


Figure 1: Isometric view of UTZ exploration target area showing completed 2020 drill holes and additional planned holes
 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/678ca99b-9fd4-47c3-8920-7d5dd5770e75

James Stonehouse, VP of Exploration, stated: “In my short time on site I have seen the outstanding mineral potential that exists at Bunker Hill.  As our geologic understanding continues to grow through modeling and drilling, I am confident in our ability to add to our already sizable resource through continued exploration success in both the upper and lower levels of the mine.”

A total of 5000’ of core were already drilled from surface with two drill rigs currently in operation. The first rig is focused on developing further the high-grade silver targets identified in the UTZ Ore zone between the 5 and 6 Levels as described in the press release of 27 October 2020. The second is exploring the historic high-grade silver targets in close proximity to the 9 Level. Assay results are expected from mid-December. All of these silver targets are close to existing infrastructure and have the potential to add high-grade resources to the upper level inventory and add greatly to the value of any restart plan. In support of the PEA, the Company will conduct approximately 4000’ of infill drilling designed to upgrade the highest-grade inferred resources of contained within the UTZ, Newgard and Quill ore bodies, above the 9 Level, into the Indicated Resources category.

The Company advises that it does not propose to base its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved. The Company further cautions that a PEA is preliminary in nature. No mining study has been completed. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Cautionary Statements

Certain statements in this news release are forward-looking and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as within the meaning of the phrase ‘forward-looking information’ in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. Forward-looking statements are not comprised of historical facts. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on
information currently available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Forward looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s intentions regarding its objectives, goals or future plans and statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: the ability to predict and counteract the effects of COVID-19 on the business of the Company, including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19 on the price of commodities, capital market conditions, restriction on labour and international travel and supply chains; failure to identify mineral resources; failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves; the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results;
risks of basing a
production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability,
resulting in
increased uncertainty
due to
multiple technical and economic risks of failure which are associated with this production decision
including, among others,
areas that are analyzed in more detail in a feasibility study, such as applying economic analysis to resources and reserves, more detailed metallurgy and a number of specialized studies in areas such as mining and recovery methods, market analysis, and environmental and community impacts
and, a
s a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing
a commercially mineable deposit
with
no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flow and future profitability
;
delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks; changes in equity markets; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; the inability of the Company to budget and manage its liquidity in light of the failure to obtain additional financing, including the ability of the Company to complete the payments pursuant to the terms of the agreement to acquire the Bunker Hill Mine Complex; inflation; changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in the development of proj
ects; capital, operating and reclamation costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry; and those risks set out in the Company’s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law. No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained herein.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources

This press release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource and reserve estimates included in this press release have been disclosed in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Canadian disclosure standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and resource and reserve information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “resource” does not equate to the term “reserves”. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. The SEC’s disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” or “inferred mineral resources” or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. U.S. investors should also understand that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. The requirements of NI 43-101 for disclosure of “reserves” are also not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves disclosed by the Company in accordance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as “reserves” under SEC standards. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits contained in our website may not be comparable with information made public by companies that report in accordance with U.S. standards.

Bausch + Lomb Reports Nearly 27 Million Units of Contact Lens Materials Recycled Through One By One Recycling Program

PR Newswire

LAVAL, QC, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Bausch + Lomb, a leading global eye health business of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE/TSX: BHC) (“Bausch Health”), today announced that its exclusive ONE by ONE Recycling program has recycled nearly 27 million used contact lenses, top foils and blister packs since launching in November 2016. The program, made possible through a collaboration with TerraCycle®, a world leader in the collection and repurposing of hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste, has diverted more than 162,000 pounds of contact lens waste from oceans, lakes, streams and landfills.

“At Bausch Health, we continuously evaluate all aspects of our company to identify ways that we can achieve a more sustainable and regenerative state, while reducing our overall environmental footprint,” said Amy Butler, vice president, Global Environment, Health, Safety + Sustainability, Bausch Health. “We are proud to offer the ONE by ONE Recycling program to customers and contact lens wearers to help ensure these used materials do not end up in our environment.”

Today, more than 5,500 optometry practices are registered with the ONE by ONE Recycling program. To participate, contact lens wearers can bring their used contact lenses and packaging to one of these offices, which collects the used lens materials in a custom recycling bin provided by Bausch + Lomb. Once the bin is filled, the optometry practice will ship the materials to TerraCycle for proper recycling using a pre-paid shipping label.

“Millions of people wear contact lenses every day to help them see, but many do not realize the significant impact that these materials can have on the environment,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO, TerraCycle. “In just four years, we have recycled hundreds of thousands of these used materials, removing them from our environment, and instead using them to give back to the community. It is a program we’re proud to be part of and one we look forward to building upon in collaboration with Bausch + Lomb for years to come.”

Additionally, for every 10 pounds of material received from the ONE by ONE Recycling Program, TerraCycle donates $10 to Optometry Giving Sight, an organization that funds programs that provide eye examinations and low-cost eyeglasses to people in need, including tens of millions of children with uncorrected myopia.

In 2019, Bausch + Lomb took the program one step further by repurposing the recycled waste and combining it with other recycled material to create custom training modules that were donated to the Guide Dog Foundation, a national not-for-profit that trains guide dogs for people who are blind or visually impaired. The modules, which included benches, tables, waste stations and an agility ramp, are used to train the dogs and to further enhance the organization’s Smithtown, New York campus for those who visit.
