VANCOUVER, BC, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group - Back in late Summer 2022, it was still too early to say whether Brazil had the potential to be a global player in the lithium industry. However, as a new Brazilian mine is set to produce lithium in 2023, the world is taking notice. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently returned from a trip to South America, visiting Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, with an intent to expand collaboration on green energy. Securing battery and EV metals from Brazil is clearly a priority for many larger interests, including Warren-Buffett-backed Chinese EV giant BYD Company Limited (OTCPK: BYDDY) (OTCPK: BYDDF) even considering production in Brazil. Now research analysts at Benchmark Minerals are predicting that Brazil is set to more than double its share of global lithium mining this decade, as Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: SGML) (TSXV: SGML) ramps up towards production in April 2023. Joining Sigma in the Brazil lithium scene are other developers such as Lithium Ionic Corp. (TSXV: LTH) (OTCQB: LTHCF), Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX), and the latest entrant to the region, Infinity Stone Ventures Corp. (CSE: GEMS) (OTCQB: GEMSF).

Key Points:

Now research analysts at Benchmark Minerals are predicting that Brazil is set to more than double its share of global lithium mining this decade, as Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: SGML) (TSXV: SGML) ramps up towards production in April 2023 .
Sigma holds 27 mineral rights in four properties spread over 191 square kilometres (19,100 hectares), which include nine past-producing lithium mines.
Meanwhile, Sigma Lithium moved forward in the commissioning of its dense medium separation processing plant , gaining more traction towards becoming a lithium producer.

Canada Is on the Cusp of a Lithium Awakening

NEW YORK, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- John Kaiser of Kaiser Research believes Canada is due for a "lithium awakening." According to Kaiser, the market is moving past the 10-year bear market for the resources sector, particularly for juniors, and transitioning into a potential decade-long bull market with lithium leading the charge. Kaiser has been keeping a close eye on Canada's James Bay region, which he sees as a burgeoning area bet but James Bay lithium projects aren't the only ones garnering attention in Canada. The US Inflation Reduction Act has elevated Canada's standing as a battery material manufacturer due to its proximity and trading ties with the US. Sayona Mining Limited (OTCQB: SYAXF) and Piedmont Lithium (NASDAQ: PPL) recently produced its first batch of marketable lithium concentrate at its North American Lithium (NAL) mine in Quebec. E3 Lithium (TSXV: ETL) (OTCQX: EEMMF) is focused on developing its significant lithium resource in Alberta, while Lithium Americas (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC) and Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) are working on lithium projects in the US.

VANCOUVER, BC , March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group - Mining exports in 2022 brought in US$3.86 billion to Argentina, marking the highest for the country since 2012. This spike was spurred on by a whopping 234% increase in lithium exports to US$696 million, as Argentina retained its Top 5 status among lithium producers at number four. Several analysts are forecasting that demand isn't about to slow down, while suppliers struggle to keep up. As well, governments around the world are scrambling to secure supplies for their countries and incentivizing a need for a lithium supply chain independent of China. All the while, they're having to compete with China for these strategic new energy minerals. Now there is plenty of attention being paid to South American lithium with plenty of developments underway from developers and producers such as Lithium South Development Corporation (TSXV:LIS) (OTCQB:LISMF), Allkem Limited (TSX:AKE) (OTCPK:OROCF), Alpha Lithium Corporation (NEO:ALLI) (OTCPK:APHLF), Livent Corporation (NYSE:LTHM), and then Sigma Lithium (NASDAQ:SGML) in Brazil.

Biotech Sector Working Fast to Combat Alzheimer's Disease Cases That are Set to Explode

Retrieved on:

Wednesday, March 15, 2023

VANCOUVER, B.C., March 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- March 15, 2023 - USA News Group - According to a 2022 study of more than 6 million patients 65 and older, the risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease increases by 50-80% in older adults who caught COVID-19. With Statista stating nearly 11.5 million COVID-19 cases of people over 65 years old as of November 23, 2022, and the Alzheimer's Association forecasting global dementia cases to triple by 2050, society is about to get hit with a tsunami of this devastating disease. Thankfully the biotech sector is working diligently to try and combat this coming onslaught of Alzheimer's and dementia, through new diagnostic methods and treatments, including work from companies such as Marvel Biosciences Corp. (TSXV:MRVL), Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:BIIB), Prothena Corporation plc (NASDAQ:PRTA), Intra-Cellular Therapies (NASDAQ:ITCI), and Roche Holding AG (OTC:RHHBY).

Key Points:

In the case of Marvel Biosciences Corp. (TSXV:MRVL), the biotech company is moving forward with its lead asset MB-204 in targeting Alzheimer's and depression .
MB-204 is a novel fluorinated derivative of Istradefylline, the only clinically approved adenosine A2a receptor antagonist used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Caffeine consumption has been associated with a reduced risk for developing Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and improving mood and concentration.
MB-204 will be highly disruptive to the existing market and, we believe, will be a welcomed therapy for patients who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease and Depression.
