  • Dateline Resources Initiates Comprehensive Exploration Program at Colosseum Gold-REE Project in California

    Dateline Resources Initiates Comprehensive Exploration Program at Colosseum Gold-REE Project in California

    SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2025 / Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR)(OTC:DTREF), a leading Australian mining and exploration company, is pleased to announce the start of a comprehensive exploration program at its wholly owned Colosseum Gold and Rare Earth Elements (REE) Project in San Bernardino County, California. This strategic initiative highlights Dateline’s dedication to unlocking the full potential of this high-value asset, located in the mineral-rich Walker Lane Trend.

    The exploration program includes a 1,207-sample geochemical survey, now underway, targeting high-priority zones such as newly identified felsite dykes west of historic pits and untested gravity-low anomalies to the east. Samples will undergo multi-element analysis, including a full suite of rare earth elements, to identify gold and REE mineralization potential. Initial results are expected in early July 2025, with a comprehensive analysis to follow.

    In parallel, a magneto telluric (MT) survey is mobilizing to map deep subsurface geological structures and alteration zones across the Colosseum claim boundary, with a progress update expected later this week. Dateline is also evaluating a ground-based magnetic survey to enhance its multi-dataset approach, aiding in the detection of buried intrusions and lithological contrasts to refine drill targets.

    The Colosseum Project is central to Dateline’s North American strategy, with a JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 27.1 million tonnes at 1.26 g/t gold for 1.1 million ounces, with over 67% in Measured and Indicated categories. The project’s gold mineralization remains open at depth, and recent studies project an NPV of $550 million and an IRR of 61% at a gold price of $2,900 per ounce (ASX announcement, May 23, 2025). Located just 10 kilometers north of the world-class Mountain Pass REE mine, Colosseum also holds significant rare earth potential. With growing global demand for critical minerals and robust U.S. government support for domestic REE production, Dateline aims to contribute to America’s strategic mineral supply chain.

    Managing Director Stephen Baghdadi commented: “The last time this mine was in operation, the gold price was under $350 per ounce and there was little incentive to do follow-up exploration work for hidden breccia pipes. During that period, rare earth elements (REEs) were not yet a focus, so the significant REE findings at Colosseum has only recently become important. We are now in a very different environment, with much higher gold prices and strong strategic demand for REEs, which makes our systematic field program at Colosseum essential.”

    The geochemical and MT survey results will inform Dateline’s upcoming drilling campaigns, including a maiden REE-focused drilling program. The company is adopting a “stacked evidence” approach, integrating geochemical, gravity, MT, and potentially magnetic data to optimize drill targeting. Further updates will follow as results are received.

  • Hypromag Achieves Further Technical Milestones as Piloting Ramps Up in Advance of Commercial Rare Earth Magnet Production in The Uk, Germany and USA

    Hypromag Achieves Further Technical Milestones as Piloting Ramps Up in Advance of Commercial Rare Earth Magnet Production in The Uk, Germany and USA

    LONDON, UK AND VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2025 / Mkango Resources Ltd. (AIM:MKA)(TSX-V:MKA) (“Mkango”) and CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec”) are pleased to provide a technical update for HyProMag Limited (“HyProMag”) and its ongoing advanced pilot programme for the scale-up and roll out of Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap (“HPMS”) technology to produce domestically sourced and short-loop recycled rare earth magnets with a minimal carbon footprint in the UK (2025), Germany (2025) and United States (2027).

    The ongoing advanced pilot programme at the University of Birmingham is proceeding in parallel with development of the commercial scale plant at Tyseley Energy Park in Birmingham, UK.

    HPMS technology was developed by the Magnetic Materials Group at the University of Birmingham (“UoB”), underpinned by approximately US$100 million of research and development funding. HPMS has major competitive advantages over other rare earth magnet recycling technologies, which are largely focused on chemical processes but do not solve the challenges of extracting magnets from end-of-life scrap streams and only produce rare earth oxides or mixed rare earth carbonates, which require further processing. HyProMag provides the solution, producing a value-added, magnet product for direct sale to domestic customers across multiple jurisdictions.

    Over the course of the previous 12 months, HyProMag has made significant technical progress to support its efforts in optimising design criteria, processing different NdFeB scrap feed materials and producing recycled, low carbon, commercial, magnets of different technical grades. To date, the University of Birmingham Pilot plant has produced over 3,500 magnets of commercial grade from various waste streams. Sample magnets have been provided to commercial partners for extensive testing and product verification and will support continued off taker due diligence over the coming 12 months for the UK, Germany and U.S. businesses.

    Recent progress and technical milestones for HyProMag include the following:

    • Further optimisation of HPMS for different NdFeB scrap sources – HPMS continues to demonstrate very effective removal and recycling of magnets from electric motor rotors, where they are embedded in laminated stacks of transformer steel. HyProMag is engaging with multiple parties in this sector to provide pre-processing and recycling solutions, as well as in other sectors such as e-bikes, medical devices and professional audio units.

    • Hard disk drive (HDD) magnets continue to be an important feedstock for HyProMag with HPMS now succesfully demonstrated on at least 18 different morphologies of HDDs and commercial grade N45M and N42M magnets produced from the liberated HPMS powder. These and other magnets produced via HPMS from other scrap sources, ranging in grade from N48 remanence and UH coercivity, are currently being tested in a wide range of applications, including automotive, audio and others.

    • In collaboration with ZF Automotive and UoB, HyProMag has recently supplied magnets for prototype testing in automotive ancillary applications which were successfully tested by ZF, with performance nearly identical to magnets made from virgin materials as indicated in the recent press article: https://www.engineerlive.com/content/recycling-and-reusing-motor-magnets .

    • As a key partner in the Securing Critical Rare Earth Materials (“SCREAM”) project, GKN Automotive was instrumental in delivering simulation and physical testing to verify that the HyProMag magnets produced via short-loop recycling have equivalent performance to primary magnets of the same grade.

    • The first production-ready HDD magnet separation system has been built by INSERMA ANOIA SL (“Inserma”) [i] and is expected to be delivered to the UK in Q3. The system has been shown to more accurately identify and remove the magnets from HDD for HPMS processing at scale. The addition of a printed circuit board removal module is at an advanced stage of development, which would be transformational for the process and enhances the Information Security requirements of HDD Recycling.

    • Increased magnetic performance has been achieved through further optimisation of the HPMS and magnet manufacturing processes, with positive feedback from customers who are currently stress testing magnet prototypes. Further technical details, including magnet grades and performance achieved, are elaborated in a detailed HyProMag technical bulletin, which can be accessed via the following link: https://hypromag.com/executive-summary-of-recent-technical-progress-by-hypromag-ltd-june-2025

    • Magnets produced from HPMS generated alloys are the first sintered NdFeB magnets to be produced in the UK since the closure of Philips in Southport in December 2003. This capability for manufacture of sintered, commercial grade magnets need not be confined to producing magnets directly from scrap and can be further enhanced by blending with new cast alloys made from virgin mine-sourced metals or recycled metals.

    • Acceleration of research and development (R&D) work on blending recycled HPMS powders with virgin materials (from primary as well as medium and long loop recycled sources) is underway, which will broaden the range to higher magnet grades available for commercial purchase and aligns strongly with incoming thresholds for minimum recycled content under the European Union Critical Raw Materials Act.

    • Over 100 different blends of recycled material have been created in the last six months to meet R&D and customer requirements, with magnets derived from both single and blended batches of HPMS powder demonstrating consistent performance and further validating the short-loop recycling and magnet manufacturing process.

    • Whether in collaborative projects, such as SusMagPro and REEsilience in Europe and UKRI (United Kingdom Research and Innovation) projects RaRE, REAP, SCREAM, ReREwind and REEmelt, or through other collaborations, HyProMag’s development partners remain confident of its continuing progress. A recent article has been published which has acknowledged the quality of magnets produced for rotating machines:

      https://www.engineerlive.com/content/recycling-and-reusing-motor-magnets .

    • Rare earth magnets derived from HPMS will be extremely low in their Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). For further details and breakdown see https://mkango.ca/news/hypromag-usas-iso-compliant-product-carbon-footprint-study-confirms-exceptionally-low-co-sub-2-sub-footprint-of-2.35-kg-co-sub/

    Through the abovementioned workstreams, together with further optimisation and development of blending and grain boundary technologies, HyProMag expects to significantly expand the range of commercial grades produced as illustrated below:

    Will Dawes, Mkango CEO commented: “HyProMag is going from strength to strength with the support of its excellent and growing team, as well as from the University of Birmingham and its other partners. The company is well placed to capitalise on the increasing demand for more robust supply chains and sustainably sourced magnetic materials – technologies being commercialised by HyProMag will be transformational for the sector, and we look forward to first sales in UK and Germany in the coming months, as well as completion of detailed engineering in the USA in advance of large-scale project development.”

    Julian Treger, CoTec CEO commented: We are very pleased with the continued progress of HyProMag in advance of the commissioning of the UK and German plants. The learnings from these plants and the University of Birmingham’s pilot plant programme represent a significant opportunity for HyProMag USA to optimise and refine the detailed design phase. Furthermore, the production of a wide range of magnet grades for U.S. customers from multiple scrap feedstocks will support our financing and off take activities.”

    Nick Mann, HyProMag Limited MD commented: “The improvements on magnetic properties made are down to the increased understanding gained by the metallurgical team on how to process, blend and sinter differing input feed stocks to achieve a consistent grade of magnet. As we begin production at Tyseley we are testing, collaborating and supplying our commercial partners with our magnets against specifications and are demonstrating good alignment with their products.”

    Sean Worrall, GKN Automotive Chief Engineer Product Sustainability commented: “As the key physical testing and simulation partner, we are pleased to confirm that the recycled magnets replicated expected performance exceptionally closely during testing. This means HyProMag’s short-cycled magnets can be reliably used in motor design simulation to deliver real world performance. The HPMS process enables a supply chain of sustainable, competitive, rare-earth magnets, decoupled from the problems of the virgin material supply chain”

    2025 University of Birmingham (UoB) Accelerated Pilot Programme

    In parallel with commissioning of the commercial plants in UK and Germany, and to support ongoing HyProMag USA LLC (“HyProMag USA”) detailed design [ii] , HyProMag has further invested in piloting utilising the UoB infrastructure, onboarded new production engineers and tripled the throughput capacity of the UoB pilot vessel and associated processes. During a six-month period, multiple sources of scrap feeds will be processed with a target of two tonnes of HPMS power produced and converted into commercial grade magnets. HyProMag will provide these samples to potential customers, as well as targeting further improvements in the engineering design criteria, recoveries and magnet making capability to support commercial developments in the UK, Germany and U.S.

    The main objectives of the 2025 UoB Accelerated Pilot Programme are to:

    • Provide NdFeB block and finished magnet samples to customers , to support product marketing, offtake discussions and scale-up in Europe and North America, and to complement HyProMag’s 2025 commercial production of NdFeB alloys, blocks and finished magnets derived from the commercial scale plant being commissioned at Tyseley Energy Park (TEP) by the University of Birmingham.

    • Enhanced QAQC planning – Commercial production at TEP is targeted at 600kg batches of HPMS powder that will be analysed by ICP-OE, XRF and gas analysis. These characterised batches will be blended for targeted magnet qualities based on the development know-how from piloting. These batches will be large and consistent in quality; 1.2 tonnes of blended powder can, for example, deliver 50,000 magnets based on a typical 25g speaker application. Sampling QAQC procedures are being developed with end-users.

    • Further demonstrate and optimise HPMS , including pre-processing for larger volumes and broader variety of scrap feeds to derive optimal process conditions and estimates of recovery, NdFeB magnet content and yield to short loop recycling for different scrap feeds

    • Complete further variability analysis across different HPMS batches of the same type of scrap feed.

    • Further demonstrate the ability to blend HPMS powders from different HPMS batches of the same scrap feed with or without virgin feed additions

    The Accelerated Piloting Programme targets over 50 additional HPMS runs over a six-month period covering principal scrap feeds containing: separated magnet scrap, VCMs from different sources, pre-processed HDD feed, surface mounted and embedded rotors from electric motors, MRI, wind turbine feed, speaker assemblies and other forms of NdFeB scrap material provided by strategic partners.

  • GA-ASI Adds Saab Airborne Early Warning Capability to MQ-9B

    GA-ASI Adds Saab Airborne Early Warning Capability to MQ-9B

    New Capability Will Transform Airborne Early Warning Access and Affordability for MQ-9B Customers

    SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2025 / General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is partnering with Saab to develop Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) capability for its line of MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft, which includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models, the United Kingdom’s Protector, and the new MQ-9B STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) model currently in development. GA-ASI plans to fly AEW on MQ-9B in 2026.

    “High and low-tech air threats both pose major challenges to global air forces,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We’re developing an affordable AEW solution in cooperation with Saab, the leading provider of AEW&C systems, that will transform our customers’ operations against both sophisticated cruise missiles and simple but dangerous drone swarms. We’re also making AEW capability possible in areas it doesn’t exist today, such as from some navy warships at sea.”

    GA-ASI will pair Saab’s AEW sensors with the world’s longest-range, highest-endurance unmanned aircraft system (UAS), the MQ-9B. At sea or over land, the AEW mission package on MQ-9B will put air dominance within reach at a lower cost than legacy platforms.

    The MQ-9B AEW solution will offer critical aloft sensing to defend against tactical air, guided missiles, drones, and other threats at a fraction of the cost of manned platforms. Operational availability for medium-altitude long-endurance UAS is the highest of any military aircraft, and as an unmanned platform, its aircrew are not put into harm’s way. AEW for MQ-9B will augment existing AEW fleets by extending their effective ranges. It also gives air forces that need AEW, but lack legacy platforms, a powerful and affordable means to counter threats.

    GA-ASI and Saab’s AEW offering will span a wide range of applications, including early detection and warning; long-range detection and tracking; simultaneous target tracking and flexible combat system integration, all over line-of-sight and SATCOM connectivity.

    MQ-9B is the world’s most advanced medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS. GA-ASI has MQ-9B orders from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Poland, Japan, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.

    About GA-ASI

    General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle® 25M, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

  • GA-ASI Announces New PELE Small UAS for International Customers

    GA-ASI Announces New PELE Small UAS for International Customers

    Small, Uncrewed Launched Effect Delivers Multi-Mission Capability

    SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2025 / General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), the world leader in unmanned aircraft from the iconic Predator® to the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft, has unveiled a new small uncrewed launched effect with widespread multi-mission capabilities for the global aerospace and defense market.

    Inspired by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of powerful natural forces in the Pacific, the Precision Exportable Launched Effect – PELE – is a small, attrition-tolerant, propeller-driven unmanned aircraft designed to extend the sensing and other capabilities of a mothership aircraft and its user service. PELE is a semi-autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with an 11-foot wingspan and 16-horsepower engine that extends user reach within challenging environments with potent effects. PELE also could be launched from the ground.

    The new PELE is optimized for use on the MQ-9B SkyGuardian®, the world’s foremost medium-altitude, long-endurance, multi-mission uncrewed aircraft. MQ-9B is in use or being considered for use by a growing number of nations around the world. PELE can fly with an onboard electro-optical infrared sensor for full-motion video as well as other integral sensors. The aircraft also has internal stowage for its own mission payloads.

    “PELE brings even more versatility to growing MQ-9B fleets around the world,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “On one day, an air force might fly an MQ-9B with no external payloads to maximize its patrol time. Then on the next day, the same aircraft could take off and fly with several PELEs that would stand in against the adversary and take the immediate risks to preserve the larger aircraft.”

    For example, MQ-9B might approach a contested boundary from international waters and release PELE to scout through the disputed zone to assess a hostile force’s order of battle or detect and precisely geo-locate anti-air systems. PELE is 9 feet in length, has a maximum gross takeoff weight of 250 pounds, 7 hours of endurance and range of 500 nautical miles.

  • Completion of Tolmer High Grade Silver Zone Drilling

    Completion of Tolmer High Grade Silver Zone Drilling

    Planning Underway for Expedited Follow-up RC and Diamond Programs

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • 2,882m reverse circulation (RC) drilling completed at Tolmer high-grade silver discovery; recent expansion from 13 to 21 holes based upon early drilling program observations[1]

    • Program expanded in all directions with two additional lines to north and south

    ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that expanded RC drilling has completed at its recent ‘Tolmer’ high grade silver discovery, located at the Company’s South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola).1 A total of 2,882m RC drilling was completed across 21 completed holes to an average depth of 137m. Samples are planned to depart site during the coming week, with the first multi-element assay results expected toward the end of July.

    Figure 1 – Tolmer ‘western silver’ & ‘eastern gold’ zones showing expanded silver drilling program

    Commenting on the Tolmer drilling program, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:

    “We look forward to sharing the assay results for this latest round of Tolmer drilling. The western ‘silver zone’ is an exciting target, and we are already planning near-term follow up diamond and RC drilling programs. My thanks to the excellent Barton team, and our drilling partners, for the safe execution of this extended program.”

    Program background

    Barton identified Tolmer as a high-grade gold discovery in August 2024, and subsequently identified a new ‘silver zone’ ~500m west in a line of seven discovery holes with globally significant assays including:[2]

    Hole ID

    Interval

    Including:

    TBAC130

    6m @ 4,747 g/t Ag from 46 metres

    1m @ 17,600 g/t Ag from 46 metres

    TBM227

    4m @ 1,417 g/t Ag from 9 metres

    1m @ 3,790 g/t Ag from 9 metres

    TBM228

    14m @ 434 g/t Ag from 46 metres

    1m @ 3,350 g/t Ag from 54 metres

    On 22 May Barton commenced a planned program of ~2,500m RC drilling which was designed to infill and extend both the western ‘silver zone’ and the eastern ‘gold zone’.[3] Based upon further geological surface reconnaissance and early observations from drilling, it was decided to expand the ‘silver zone’ drilling program to gather a larger amount of data on this area with the remaining time available in this program.[4]

    Seven drill holes originally planned for the eastern ‘gold zone’ were re-allocated to eight new drill holes in the western ‘silver zone’, expanding the planned drilling from three to five lines of RC holes. The total Tolmer drilling program was expanded from a planned ~2,500m to a revised final total of 2,882m.

    Samples will shortly be despatched for expedited laboratory analysis, with the first multi-element assay results expected to be received toward the end of July. Barton has already commenced planning for follow up programs, including diamond drilling for structural orientation and further extensional RC drilling.

    Adolore BioTherapeutics Announces Publication Demonstrating Biosafety and Efficacy of Kv7 Activating rdHSV-CA8* Analgesic Gene Therapy for Chronic Pain via the Intra-Articular Route in Mice

    Findings highlight the advantages of Adolore’s approach for the delivery of proprietary gene therapy directly to specialized pain-sensing peripheral nerves (nociceptors) that mediates profound analgesia with the potential to address the great unmet need for non-opioid chronic pain therapies

    Data further supports the clinical-translational value of Adolore’s proprietary non-opioid analgesics for treating chronic non-cancer pain

    These data support the Company’s continuing efforts to progress with IND-enabling studies of ADB-102 gene therapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) chronic knee pain.

    DELRAY BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2025 / Adolore BioTherapeutics (“Adolore” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company focused on developing breakthrough opioid-free gene therapy treatments for chronic pain and neurological disorders, today announced the publication of its manuscript titled, “Biosafety and Efficacy of Kv7 Activating rdHSV-CA8* Analgesic Gene Therapy for Chronic Pain Via the Intra-Articular Route in Mice1,” in the peer-reviewed journal, Molecular Therapy.

    Roy Clifford Levitt, MD, Clinical Professor at the University of Miami, Principal Investigator and Program Director of the NIH, NINDS, HEAL Award supporting ADB-102 development for the treatment of chronic knee pain due to OA, and Founder & Executive Chairman of Adolore BioTherapeutics, published biosafety and efficacy data from preclinical studies of Adolore’s gene therapy expressing a human carbonic anhydrase-8 variant peptide (CA8*). In model systems, replication-defective, disease-free, herpes simplex virus (rdHSV) gene therapy expressing an analgesic carbonic anhydrase-8 (CA8*) peptide variant corrects somatosensory hyperexcitability by activating Kv7 voltage-gated potassium channels, produces profound, long-lasting analgesia and treats chronic pain from knee OA. In these studies, we provide the first non-Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) biosafety, efficacy, biodistribution, shedding, and histopathology examination of this rdHSV-CA8* via the intra-articular knee route of administration. Naive mice were examined for clinical safety, distribution of virus across all major tissues, knee histopathology, and analgesic efficacy. We observed no signs of persistent toxicity or histopathology, viral genomes remained where they were injected, and there was no evidence of shedding. Profound analgesia persisted for >6 months without functional impairments. These initial biosafety and efficacy data support further development of rdHSV-CA8* for treating chronic knee pain due to moderate-to-severe OA.

    Dr. Levitt, commented, “Kv7 voltage-gated potassium channel activators, like rdHSV-CA8* open these channels and hyperpolarize nociceptors making them less excitable to produce profound analgesia. Kv7 activators are well-known to produce potent non-opioid-based analgesia in many human chronic pain conditions. While Kv7 openers are no longer available due to off-target adverse events related to systemic administration, they have been successfully translated from animal models to human chronic pain conditions. Bolstered by our substantial body of published data, we continue to develop our innovative approach to address the significant serious unmet need for safe and effective locally acting pain therapies to replace opioids. Our preclinical data strongly support continued preclinical development toward an IND and clinical studies of ADB-102.”

    The Company’s lead development program for the treatment of chronic pain in knee osteoarthritis is fully funded by a UG3/UH3 grant awarded to the University of Miami by NIH/NINDS HEAL program to support all formal pre-clinical GLP/GMP/GCP development work through a first-in-human study of ADLR-1l01 in patients expected to commence in 2026.

    About Carbonic Anhydrase-8 (CA8*) Gene Therapy

    CA8* (variants of naturally occurring human carbonic anhydrase-8 analgesic peptides) gene therapies are a novel class of neuronal calcium channel inhibitors that activate Kv7 voltage-gated potassium channels and are administered locally and long-acting. Oral small molecule pain therapeutics that activate Kv7 voltage-gated potassium channels demonstrated proven analgesic efficacy before they were removed from the market due to severe adverse events related to systemic exposure and their metabolism. CA8* gene therapy provides versatile dosing regimens and routes of administration, including intra-articular, intra-neuronal (nerve block), and intradermal injection. This non-opioid CA8* mechanism-of-action addresses neuropathic, inflammatory, and nociceptive pain, which applies to a broad range of chronic pain indications and neurological disorders. These conditions include osteoarthritis, lower back, and cancer pain; diabetes and other forms of peripheral neuropathy; as well as rare pain conditions such as erythromelalgia, a heritable chronic pain condition and epilepsy and hearing loss.

    About Adolore BioTherapeutics, Inc.

    Adolore BioTherapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapies for treating chronic pain using a revolutionary intra-cellular replication-defective HSV (rdHSV) drug delivery platform that is disease-free, non-toxic, and permits localized peripheral nervous system delivery of proprietary biotherapeutics. This rdHSV gene therapy technology incorporates an established re-dosing strategy and an excellent safety profile. HSV vectors are known for their stability and prolonged gene expression, providing an excellent basis for the long- term treatment of chronic pain conditions and neurological disorders. Our best-in-class CA8* programs are long-acting, locally administered gene therapies that are opioid-free Disease-Modifying Anti-Pain therapies (DMAPs) designed to treat many forms of chronic pain, epilepsy and hearing loss.

    Leveraging its innovative gene therapy vectors expressing CA8* analgesic peptides (ADLR-1001), Adolore is currently advancing two preclinical development programs: ADB-101 for the treatment of patients’ chronic pain caused by erythromelalgia, an orphan disease, and ADB-102, their lead program for the treatment of patients with chronic pain caused by knee OA. Based on substantial compelling preclinical data generated to date, the Company is progressing these programs toward IND filings and first-in-human clinical studies. Adolore has two additional programs: ADB-104 for Drug-Resistant Refractory Focal Epilepsy and ADB-105 for Acute Severe Hearing Loss.
