News Release

Valeo Pharma hits record 2nd quarter revenue as demand for Asthma products continues to rise

Valeo Pharma Inc.

Valeo Pharma CEO Steve Saviuk joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's financial results for the second quarter, which saw record-breaking revenue for the period. The company reported revenues of $14.1 million for Q2, an increase from the $13.6 million recorded in the same quarter of 2023. This represents a growth of 4%. The revenue increase was primarily driven by a boost in sales due to promotional activities in the respiratory segment, Allerject, and sustained growth from other core products such as Redesca and Simbrinza. However, Saviuk emphasized that these top-line numbers do not fully capture the extent of the company's progress. Despite the overall growth, the company faced revenue softness in several of its non-core brands and encountered short-term structural delays in Ontario that impacted Redesca. These challenges somewhat masked the robust performance of Valeo's asthma franchise, which saw a 52% increase in Q2 revenues compared to the same quarter the previous year. Specifically, total prescriptions for Enerzair and Atectura for the 12 months ending April 30, 2024, surpassed 88,000, marking a significant 96% increase over the 12-month period ending April 30, 2023. In addition to discussing revenue figures, Saviuk announced that Valeo Pharma is undertaking a comprehensive restructuring of its commercial field operations. This initiative aims to improve profit margins, reduce operating expenses, align the company's commercial infrastructure with current market dynamics, and accelerate its journey towards profitability. These cost reduction measures are expected to decrease operating expenses by more than $5 million annually. Combined with previously implemented cost-saving strategies, Valeo anticipates that total cost savings will exceed $7 million.

Gold Basin Resources CEO shares view of project as company Drills its Stealth Deposit

Gold Basin Resource Corp

Gold Basin Resources CEO Colin Smith joined Steve Darling from Proactive on-site at their Stealth Project to discuss the ongoing drilling program located in the Arizona desert. Smith shared insights into the current drilling operations, which are actively being carried out at the Stealth deposit. This deposit has yielded promising results from previous drilling programs, including significant intercepts of surface oxide gold. Current drilling efforts are focused on the northern side of the area, a region that has not been extensively drilled before. Historical data indicate substantial potential in this part of the deposit, prompting the decision to drill new holes aimed at expanding both the breadth and depth of the known gold mineralization, particularly towards the north-northwest. This strategic focus is based on the encouraging historical data that suggest untapped potential in these zones. Smith delved into the technical aspects of the ongoing drilling, highlighting that two holes are being drilled at different angles to test down-dip and down-plunge extensions. These methods are designed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the deposit's structure and to identify additional zones of gold mineralization. Smith expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the field, a setting he finds immensely fulfilling given his extensive experience in the mining industry. The primary objective of this drilling program is to advance towards the maiden 43-101 resource estimate, which is expected to be completed in the third or fourth quarter of this year. Each meter drilled is crucial as it contributes to expanding the known oxide gold envelope, connecting different parts of the deposit, and enhancing the overall mineralization. This systematic approach aims to delineate a robust and economically viable gold resource that can support future development and mining operations. Smith emphasized the significance of the current drilling program for both the Stealth Project and Gold Basin Resources as a whole. He highlighted that the successful execution of this program would not only enhance the company's asset base but also position it strategically for future growth and value creation. The initial results from the drilling are eagerly anticipated, as they will provide critical data to guide subsequent exploration and development activities.

Blue Sky Uranium acquires two new Uranium projects in Argentina as company begins exploration

Blue Sky Uranium Corp.

Blue Sky Uranium CEO Niko Cacos joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the exciting acquisition of two new projects in Argentina, covering nearly 80,000 hectares. These new projects are prospective for the discovery of uranium deposits that are amenable to In Situ Recovery, a method known for its lower environmental impact and cost-effectiveness. This strategic acquisition aligns with Blue Sky Uranium's initiative to broaden the company's medium to long-term prospects for discovering additional uranium mineral resources. Cacos elaborated that the company has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Corcovo project, which benefits from new mining promotion initiatives by the provincial government. The state-owned National Atomic Energy Commission has identified significant uranium exploration potential in this area. Uranium radiometric anomalies have been detected at depth in oil and gas wells, indicating geological conditions consistent with those found in ISR uranium deposits. This suggests a promising potential for significant uranium resources that could be economically extracted using ISR methods. The second project, known as Chihuidos, has a rich exploration history. Initially recognized by the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) in the 1960s and 1970s, it was more recently explored by Cameco Corporation in a joint venture with Calypso Uranium Corporation in the early 2000s. Chihuidos is situated on a topographic high, surrounded by airborne radiometric anomalies and surface uranium occurrences, providing strong potential for a preserved uranium mineralized system at depth. This historical exploration data enhances the project's prospects, making it a valuable addition to Blue Sky Uranium's portfolio. To advance these projects, Blue Sky Uranium has initiated the permitting process for field programs. Concurrently, the company is focused on identifying and prioritizing prospective targets for future exploration and drill testing. This involves updating and verifying the existing database for both projects, which includes publicly available borehole surveys and seismic 2D/3D surveys from historical oil and gas exploration. These comprehensive data sets will help refine exploration strategies and target the most promising areas for drilling.

Family Justice Center of Washington County Selects Comcast Business to Support Bandwidth and Reliable Connectivity

Comcast Pacific Northwest

Comcast Business is providing Family Justice Center of Washington County (FJCWC) – an organization dedicated to ending the cycle of domestic and family violence by providing safety, healing and hope to residents in Washington County, Oregon – with Comcast Business Ethernet Dedicated Internet (EDI) and Comcast Business Voice Mobility Solutions. The services help ensure reliability and speed for FJCWC’s network, creating a technological foundation that supports the organization’s growing connectivity needs today and in the future. Often, survivors of violence and abuse have to travel to multiple disparate locations to access the valuable resources they need – but because many don’t know how to go about finding these resources, they give up. Since 2018, this hasn’t been the case in Washington County, OR, as FJCWC offers a variety of services to survivors in one convenient place, including access to advocacy, counseling, restraining orders, safety planning, legal aid, food assistance and much more. FJCWC is built on a foundation of trust, mutual collaboration and connection. Survivors of violence trust the organization to provide top-notch services that help put their minds at ease – and technology is crucial to doing so effectively and efficiently. “Comcast understands what it is that we're trying to do and the importance of what we’re trying to do, and has really stepped in and stepped up to support our organization,” said Rachel Schutz, Executive Director of FJCWC. “They've stepped in to provide support in multiple different ways so that our service is reliable, and so that we can partner in the longer term.” Comcast Business Voice Mobility Solutions streamline how FJCWC communicates with survivors, staff and partners. An important feature of this solution is the ability to route calls when someone is unable to pick up, as the organization’s phone system includes 24/7 crisis lines and acts as a call tree for partner organizations. Meanwhile, Comcast Business EDI provides the speed to tackle high bandwidth needs, a key component to supporting FJCWC’s virtual court system and virtual legal and benefits assistance. While these systems use significant bandwidth, it’s critical they are always able to function, emphasizing the importance for FJCWC to work with a reliable connectivity provider. The virtual court, which FJCWC offered prior to the pandemic that popularized virtual meetings, allows survivors to avoid being in the same room with somebody who has harmed them. Comcast Business’ connectivity is key to provide reliable connectivity for virtual court sessions and meetings, especially if a survivor has applied for a restraining order. “Technology is essential to the day-to-day operations of organizations, like FJCWC, that support victims of abuse, as it can help these organizations provide their clients with a sense of comfort and security that they may have never felt in the past,” said Rob Brenner, Vice President of Comcast Business for Comcast’s Pacific Northwest Region. “Comcast Business has established itself as a company that deeply cares about both the quality of solutions it provides as well as how those solutions can best help the often-critical missions of its customers. We’re proud to be supporting the FJCWC with technology solutions that enable their team to help and heal survivors within our community.” About Comcast BusinessComcast Business offers a broad suite of technology solutions to keep businesses of all sizes ready for what’s next.

After four years of planning, the Family Justice Center of Washington County opened its doors. Now, in one place, survivors have access to advocacy, counseling, restraining orders, safety planning, legal aid, food assistance and much more provided by a committed group of agencies, and coordinated for seamless access. Since opening in 2018 we have served over 21,700 survivors, and we envision a future in which that number is zero. Contact Details Jack Follman jack_follman@comcast.com

New Scholarship Examines How Changing Generations Affects U.S. Politics

University of Michigan Press

As we approach another presidential election, attention will return to polls and how we can expect voting to vary by generation. Already New York Times articles in 2024 have featured the headlines “Young Voters Have an Entirely Different Concept of Politics” and “Prospect of a Rematch of Biden-Trump Causes Young Voters to Retreat.” Our pop culture often assumes that different generations have different political leanings and beliefs—that the Silent Generation is all Republican, white, and conservative, or that Millennials are liberal and diverse—but are these assumptions true? The University of Michigan Press is publishing a book that explores this very question: Generational Politics in the United States: From the Silents to Gen Z and Beyond edited by Sally Friedman & David Schultz. Generational Politics in the United States From the Silents to Gen Z and Beyond Edited by Sally Friedman & David Schultz Publication Date: June 18, 2024 Cloth ISBN 978-0-472-07676-5 | $90.00 Paper ISBN 978-0-472-05676-7 | $44.95 Open Access ISBN 978-0-472-90444-0 454 pages, 62 figures, 38 tables, 6x9” Distributor: Chicago Distribution Center press.umich.edu/Books/G/Generational-Politics-in-the-United-States2 "What's in a generation? How do we know when a new one begins, while an old one ends? Going beyond public opinion to also explore how generations manifest themselves within elite behavior, this book is bound to be a cornerstone in the study of generational politics and political socialization, shaping the discourse for years to come." — Elias Dinas, European University Institute This is the first comprehensive book that examines the concept of generations from a political science perspective. It brings together chapters from an array of political science scholars that will give readers insight into the role of generations in American politics, how generations relate to other variables such as age, race, gender, and socioeconomic status, how politics in the United States are impacted by changes in generations, and how the passing of the Baby Boom generation and rise of the Millennials and Gen Z will change American politics. This book is part of the University of Michigan Press's "Dialogues in Democracy" collection, which invites all readers to find books that contextualize their experiences of voting in America. To make sure all interested readers have an opportunity to engage with this scholarship, the book will be published open access and will be immediately available free-to-read online. The University of Michigan Press is a vital component of UM Library's Publishing division, which is the primary academic publishing division of the University. In partnership with authors and series editors, they publish in a wide range of humanities and social science disciplines. They champion the library's dedication to helping all learners, researchers, and creators to succeed through global digital and print publishing and distribution programs.
