Protests, Policy Shifts, and Power Plays Reshape the Global Lithium Market

MarketJar

In the fast-paced world of electric vehicles (EVs), the global race for lithium supply is intensifying and recent developments are reshaping the landscape. The suspension of operations by the world's largest lithium producer SQM due to protests is a stark reminder of the industry's volatility. 1 This event, among others, underscores the fragile balance between supply and demand in the lithium market. Chile's SQM has suspended operations at the Atacama salt flat due to protests by the indigenous Toconao community. 2 Approximately 500 protesters disrupted roads in the southern region of the salt flat, the world's largest lithium deposit, impeding workers and equipment movement. Local groups are demanding inclusion in discussions between SQM and the government. Meanwhile Chile, a key player in the lithium sector, is undergoing significant changes under President Gabriel Boric's vision to nationalize the industry. His plan to boost the economy and protect biodiversity involves forming a new state lithium company to manage public-private partnerships. This move towards state control, as Chile negotiates with companies like SQM and Albemarle, signals a potential shift in how lithium resources are managed and distributed globally. Chile's initiative to increase state influence over its lithium sector have triggered investors' concerns, as reflected in an 18% decline in SQM's shares. 3 At the same time, strategic acquisitions are shaping the future of lithium supply. EV giant BYD is eyeing a takeover of a major lithium producer to expand its battery business and strengthen its supply chain control. 4 As the global race for lithium supply continues to intensify, all eyes are on exploration companies like Grounded Lithium Corp. (TSXV:GRD) (OTCQB:GRDAF), a lithium brine exploration and development company that controls 1 million metric tonnes of Measured & Indicated lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) mineral resource and approximately 3.2 million Mt of Inferred LCE resource in Southwest Saskatchewan. Strategic Partnership Catalyzes Premier Lithium Project Development" On January 16, Grounded Lithium (GLC) entered into a pivotal agreement with Denison Mines, marking a significant milestone in its journey towards developing its Kindersley Lithium Project (KLP) into a premier lithium project in a top mining jurisdiction. Under the terms of the agreement, Denison has the option to acquire a 75% working interest in the Kindersley project by providing financing of up to $15.15 million, including cash payments totaling $3.15 million to Grounded Lithium Corp. (GLC) (TSXV:GRD) (OTCQB:GRDAF) and project expenditures of up to $12 million through a structured earn-in option. This partnership not only provides immediate funding for GLC but also adds to the overall worth of the company by associating with a reputable and experienced partner in the mining sector. The influx of capital and the strategic alliance with Denison significantly bolster GLC 's market standing and enterprise value. The agreement between Grounded Lithium and Denison Mines significantly boosts the Kindersley Lithium Project (KLP), setting it up for a well-funded pilot phase. Denison's structured earn-in option not only eases financial pressures on GLC but also empowers it to focus on efficient project execution and operational excellence. Furthermore, the deal enables both parties to recommend additional drilling activities, ensuring the maintenance of lithium rights associated with KLP permits. With Denison committing to fund substantial project expenditures, GLC can accelerate its exploration activities, moving swiftly towards production. This is crucial for leveraging the growing global demand for lithium, especially in the electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors, positioning the KLP as a vital contributor in these markets.

Kadimastem and iTolerance Complete Initial Targeted Engagement for Regulatory Advice on CBER Products (INTERACT) Meeting with the U.S. FDA

Kadimastem

Ness Ziona, Israel, January 22, 2024, Kadimastem (TASE: KDST) and iTolerance Inc. announced today that the companies held a preliminary meeting with the INTERACT committee of the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 19 th, 2024 regarding the preclinical and clinical development leading toward commercialization of iTOL-102, a potential cure for diabetes that does not require chronic immune system suppression. Before the meeting, the companies received a response document from the FDA noting important feedback about the current preclinical plans which the companies intend to use for the advancement of their potential joint collaboration development plans. With the feedback from the INTERACT meeting received, the companies are working on the design and commencement of a clinical study of iTOL-102 that is planned to be submitted to the FDA for an IND in the future. Dr. Anthony Japour, Chief Executive Officer of iTolerance, commented, “We are pleased with the continued progress of our research collaboration with Kadimastem. With the INTERACT meeting now complete and the feedback received from our discussions with FDA, we are evaluating next steps toward a potentially innovative cure for patients with Type 1 diabetes.” Kadimastem CEO Asaf Shiloni said, " Thanks to our scientific teams who presented the joint collaboration project in an impressive manner. I am convinced that the helpful meeting and the relevant feedback will contribute to the continued progress of our planned joint product development and hopefully provide a cure for those living with diabetes.” In May 2023, the companies announced their research collaboration agreement to co-develop and commercialize a breakthrough and innovative regenerative technology to cure diabetes without the need for chronic immunosuppression and received a grant in the aggregate amount of US$1.0 million from the Binational Israel-U.S. Industrial R&D (BIRD) Foundation. As part of the agreement, the companies are considering expanding their cooperation and advancing the development of iTOL-102. The joint project is based on Kadimastem’s diabetes product called IsletRx, which is comprised of clinical-grade clusters of human pancreatic islet like cells (ILCs). Preclinical studies have shown that the cells are able to detect the sugar levels in the body and to produce and secrete dependently, the required amounts of insulin and glucagon, just like a healthy pancreas. iTolerance, headquartered in Miami, Florida, has developed an innovative platform technology (iTOL-100) intended to enable the transplantation of allogeneic cells without tissue matching and without the need for chronic treatments that suppress the immune system of the transplant recipient (immunosuppression). This platform technology was successfully demonstrated in preclinical experiments in large animals (non-human primates), where diabetes was cured by allogeneic transplantation, without the need for long-term immunosuppressive treatments. About Kadimastem Kadimastem is a clinical stage cell therapy company, developing "off-the-shelf", allogeneic, proprietary cell products based on its technology platform for the expansion and differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) into functional cells. AstroRx®, the company's lead product, is an astrocyte cell therapy in clinical development for the treatment for ALS and in pre-clinical studies for other neurodegenerative indications. IsletRx is the company's treatment for diabetes. IsletRx is comprised of functional pancreatic islet cells producing and releasing insulin and glucagon, intended to treat and potentially cure patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. Kadimastem was founded by Professor Michel Revel, CSO of the company and Professor Emeritus of Molecular Genetics at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Professor Revel received the Israel Prize for the invention and development of Rebif®, a multiple sclerosis blockbuster drug sold worldwide. Kadimastem is traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE: KDST). About iTolerance, Inc. iTolerance is an early-stage privately-held regenerative medicine company developing technologies to enable tissue, organoid or cell therapy without requiring life-long immunosuppression. Leveraging its proprietary biotechnology-derived Streptavidin-FasL fusion protein/biotin-PEG microgel (SA-FasL microgel) platform technology, iTOL-100, iTolerance is advancing a pipeline of programs using both allogenic pancreatic islets and stem cells that have the potential to cure diseases. Utilizing iTOL-100 to induce local immune tolerance, the Company is developing its lead indication as a potential cure for Type 1 Diabetes without the need for life-long immunosuppression. Additionally, the Company is developing iTOL-201 for treating liver failure by utilizing hepatocytes and iTOL-401 as a nanoparticle formulation for large organ transplants without the need for life-long immunosuppression.

Mario was previously the CEO and co-founder of Wagr, a sports betting startup acquired by Yahoo Sports in April 2023 that focused on making gaming social, safe, and accessible and was the first social sports betting operator to receive a license in the US. Following the acquisition, Mario became the VP of Sports Betting at Yahoo Sports and oversaw the full integration of his team. As Wagr’s CEO, Mario raised over $16M across three rounds and was backed by some of the world’s leading sports and technology investors, including: Seven Seven Six, led by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Greycroft, Pear Ventures, BITKRAFT Ventures, the Kraft Group, owners of the New England Patriots and New England Revolution, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, owners of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils, among others. In joining Mercury/13, Mario is embracing a new challenge by venturing into women's football, citing it as an exciting opportunity to build in a space that has incredible potential and is close to both his and Victoire’s heart. The duo, who originally met in 2020 because they shared the same lead investor in their respective startups (Ohanian), are joined by the common belief that women’s football has an opportunity to grow itself more sustainably, creatively, and rapidly than the men’s game historically has. Their ambition is to establish Mercury/13 as a leading multi-club ownership group in women's football by acquiring club’s and supercharging their commercial viability. “Women's football is not just an exciting business opportunity; it's become an incredibly powerful gender equality movement. However, to succeed, we must shape its future not in opposition to men but in collaboration with them. Gender parity in leadership is not just an empty statement: both Mario and I want Mercury/13 to showcase what a diverse leadership team can achieve” said Victoire. “Mario’s world-class experience as an investor and founder, coupled with his deep passion and knowledge in football, made him the obvious partner to build Mercury/13 with,” she added. After overseeing the full integration of his team into Yahoo, Mario departed in October 2023 and joined Victoire Cogevina in the pursuit of a bold vision – redefining football club ownership by embracing a massive yet overlooked audience: women. "Unlike other investors in the space, we're intentionally focusing our efforts in Europe and Latin America, where we see more compelling risk-reward dynamics and valuations that are still lagging US comparables despite ample upside potential” said Mario. " As the recent growth in NWSL valuations has proven, investors can reset price expectations very quickly once they recalibrate their growth assumptions. We see all the right ingredients for something similar to happen in Europe if clubs and leagues can execute correctly. We want to help catalyze that growth in the markets we enter”. Drawing from their experience as successful startup founders in the sports space, Victoire and Mario are joining efforts to embark on a new journey together with conviction that women’s football is at an inflexion point that will transform the sport’s landscape. With an ambition to invest up to $100M over time, Mercury/13 is currently focusing its investment efforts in Europe and LatAm. The duo epitomizes a complementary leadership model, with each Co-CEO spearheading distinct facets of the organization. Malavé, with his background in business and investments, will oversee Mercury/13’s investments, business strategy, and football operations, while Cogevina will commandeer all commercial, marketing, and brand efforts across the portfolio. About Mario Malavé: A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Mario began his journey in the U.S. at 16. He graduated in 2013 with majors in Economics and Political Science magna cum laude. His first job was as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley, where he focused on cross-border M&A transactions across Latin America before transitioning to the firm’s renowned Technology Group in Menlo Park. Fascinated by technology and early-stage investing, Mario joined Playground Ventures, a deep-tech venture capital fund with $800M AUM, where he oversaw the execution of 40+ deals before pursuing an MBA at Harvard Business School. At HBS, Mario combined his passion for sports and entrepreneurship, leading a European Football trek and working with the Los Angeles Football Club. Before graduating, he co-founded Wagr, a venture-backed sports betting startup that raised over $16M from world-class investors and was acquired by Yahoo Sports in April 2023. Following the acquisition, Mario became the VP of Sports Betting at Yahoo Sports, making him one of the youngest VPs in the company. After overseeing his team’s integration, he joined Mercury/13 as a co-founder and co-CEO. About Mercury/13 Mercury/13 is a multi-club ownership group focused on acquiring controlling stakes in professional women's football teams in Europe and Latin America. The group aims to invest 100 million dollars in women’s football over the coming years. The vision is to become the industry standard of women’s football ownership, by identifying and investing in the next decade’s super clubs and fueling their commercial power to attract a massive, yet underserved, market: women. The group's acquisition strategy is based on the fundamental principle that women's football is a different game, and fans want a different experience. The name Mercury/13 is a tribute to the 13 women who were not allowed to work for NASA on the basis of their gender back in 1960. The program that would carry a spacecraft manned only by women was canceled in 1961. The authorities at the time did not believe that women alone could achieve the goal.

CGR Spine

Investors eyeing dynamic opportunities in healthcare should take note of the burgeoning growth anticipated in the spinal cord injury market. Projections for robust advancements, driven by enhanced diagnosis and increased global healthcare spending, signal a lucrative trajectory from 2023 to 2032, with a significantly positive CAGR, according to Delveinsights. With the spinal cord injury market showing promising growth, let's explore key stocks that could offer potential returns in the evolving healthcare landscape. NurExone Biologic Inc. (TSXV: NRX) (FSE: J90) is positioned as a pioneering force in biopharmaceuticals, with a primary focus on advancing the field of biologically-guided exosome therapy for traumatic spinal cord injuries. Founded on innovative technology, NurExone's flagship product, ExoPTEN, stands out as a potential game-changer. Administered intranasally, ExoPTEN represents a minimally invasive ExoTherapy designed to induce neuron regeneration and rewiring in traumatically damaged spinal cords. The company holds exclusive worldwide licenses from the Technion and Tel Aviv University, signifying its leadership in translating groundbreaking concepts into actionable solutions. Key milestones in NurExone's journey include a notable Pre-Investigational New Drug (Pre-IND) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This crucial interaction, held on August 29, 2023, provided clear guidance for the manufacturing, preclinical, and clinical development plans of ExoPTEN. The FDA's endorsement of NurExone's proposed ExoPTEN release testing strategy and toxicity study strategy sets the stage for submitting an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by Q4 2024, with Phase 1/2 human clinical studies anticipated to commence in 2025. In tandem with its commitment to acute spinal cord injury treatments, NurExone secured a $1 million New Israeli Shekels grant from the Israel Innovation Authority. This grant fosters collaboration with Inteligex Inc. to develop an innovative hybrid therapy targeting chronic spinal cord injuries. The collaboration, approved by the Israel-Canada bilateral Eureka program, broadens NurExone's potential market focus. The FDA's grant of Orphan-Drug Designation (ODD) for ExoPTEN therapy on October 30, 2023, marks a pivotal milestone. This designation recognizes the therapy's potential impact on acute spinal cord injuries, offering NurExone significant benefits such as market exclusivity, financial incentives, and regulatory support. The ODD status streamlines the company's go-to-market strategy, signaling a promising path for ExoPTEN. NurExone's commitment to continuous innovation is evident in its laboratory tests unveiled on November 29, 2023. These tests showcased two proprietary small inhibiting RNA sequences targeting the Peri-Neural Network (PNN) complex, representing a significant advancement in spinal cord injury treatment. The potential for two new products in the company's portfolio underscores NurExone's dedication to diversifying its molecular arsenal. The company's financial vitality received a boost with the closure of a non-brokered private placement on January 5, 2024. Raising CAD$1,985,758.04, this investment reflects strong investor confidence in NurExone's technology and direction. The proceeds are earmarked for advancing development activities, expanding the intellectual property portfolio, and supporting overall corporate objectives. More recently, on January 17, 2024, NurExone's collaborative agreement with Inteligex Inc. was officially underway. This collaboration aims to combine Inteligex's expertise in cell-based therapies with NurExone's innovative exosome platform, focusing on developing therapies for chronic spinal cord injuries. Additionally, NurExone has entered into an agreement with bullVestor Medien GmbH to enhance awareness of its products in German-speaking countries. NurExone Biologic Inc. is at the forefront of biologically-guided exosome therapy, supported by a number of milestones and technological advancements. The journey from FDA interactions to collaborative partnerships and financial investments paints a comprehensive picture of NurExone's trajectory, positioning the company as a leader in reshaping the landscape of regenerative therapies for spinal cord injuries.

One notable achievement is the publication of 24-month data from the SENZA Nonsurgical Refractory Back Pain (NSRBP) trial in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine.

As Nevro continues to pioneer advancements in chronic pain treatment, its comprehensive solutions and strategic initiatives position it as a key player in the evolving landscape of medical device innovation.
