Berkeley Energia Limited (BKY AIM/ASX) is a high impact, clean energy company focussed on bringing its wholly owned Salamanca project into production, commencing initial development in mid-2016.

The world class uranium project is being developed in an historic mining area in western Spain, about three hours west of Madrid. Following recent ministerial approval, the Company has now received all the European Union and National level approvals required for the initial development.

The project will generate measurable social and environmental benefits in the form jobs and skills training in a depressed rural community. It will also make a significant contribution to the security of supply of Europe’s zero carbon energy needs, where Euratom recently rated “lack of investment in new mines” as the number one risk facing European utilities.”

ReNeuron is a leading, clinical-stage cell therapy development business.  Based in the UK, its primary objective is the development of novel cell-based therapies targeting areas of significant unmet or poorly met medical need.  

ReNeuron has used its unique stem cell technologies to develop cell-based therapies for significant disease conditions where the cells can be readily administered “off-the-shelf” to any eligible patient without the need for additional immunosuppressive drug treatments.  The Company’s therapeutic candidates for stroke disability and critical limb ischaemia are in clinical development and its cell-based treatment for blindness-causing diseases of the retina is currently in pre-clinical development. 

ReNeuron is also advancing a proprietary platform technology to exploit nanoparticles (exosomes) secreted by stem cells as potential new drug candidates targeting indications in tissue repair, fibrosis and cancer.

Valirx Plc is an oncology-focussed Biopharmaceutical Company, developing treatments and diagnostics. Technologies are selected by using rigorous clinical and commercial processes to address unmet market needs.

Clinical lead product is VAL201, a peptide for prostate cancer with follow-on indications in ovarian and breast cancers and endometriosis. Product VAL401, is a small molecule reformulation for lung cancers.

The Company’s proprietary technology platform, GeneICE, enables selective silencing of rebellious genes’ inappropriate activity. VAL101, the first GeneICE therapeutic, targets and reduces expression of Bcl-2, implicated in about half of cancers. GeneICE extension to neurology and inflammatory diseases will follow.

A novel diagnostic, the Nav3 system, detects pre-cancerous, cancerous and metastatic cells in tissue samples even before a tumour forms; indicating potential malignant formation.
