BOTHELL, WA–(Marketwired – Mar 21, 2014) – Borneo Resource Investments Ltd. (OTCQB: BRNE), (the “Company” or “Borneo”), today announced that it hired Terrence Kirk Filbert to serve as Managing Director – Asia. Mr. Filbert previously served as the Managing Director of Big Blue Resources (Holdings) Limited, an owner of thermal coal mining concession licenses in East and Central Kalimantan, and high grade Silica concessions in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Mr. Filbert has intimate knowledge of the coal and mineral businesses in Indonesia and will be instrumental in increasing Borneo’s presence in the Asian markets and increasing Borneo’s gold and coal land portfolios.

Borneo is looking to expand its land portfolio beyond its four gold properties in and around Talawaan and Ratatotok. The Company is moving forward on developing a second steady stream of revenue on its Ratatotok South property. Borneo is currently near the end of its processing cycle at Ratatotok and the ore enhanced carbon will be moved from the site to the Company’s facilities in Manado for final processing.

With the revenue generated in Ratatotok, the Company plans to repay the two remaining notes it has with Asher Enterprises, Inc. These notes are due in April and June 2014 in the amounts of $32,500 and $42,500, respectively. In February 2014, the Company repaid its first convertible note with Asher that had a principal balance of $37,500.

“Bringing aboard Terry Filbert will allow Borneo to increase its visibility in the Asian financial markets, and the coal and mineral marketplace. As Borneo grows with Terry and its current management team, we plan to generate an increasing amount of capital through our business operations and connections in the mineral markets in Asia,” commented Borneo CEO Nils Ollquist.

WILMINGTON, Mass., March 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Implant Sciences Corporation (IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced today its QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detector has received an important regulatory certification in China from the Chinese Ministry of Public Security. This marks the latest in a series of key product certifications for Implant Sciences, including STAC in France and TSA’s qualification for air cargo screening in the US.

Implant Sciences has been active in the China market for several years. China represents an important market for the Company, one where it has generated over $20 million in sales to date. Its explosives trace detectors have been deployed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Beijing subway stations, and are in use for aviation security and critical infrastructure protection. In July 2013, the Company opened a representative office in Shanghai.

“This Ministry of Public Security certification opens the doors for us to compete for additional public security contracts issued by the Chinese government. We believe this will significantly expand our sales opportunities in China, where we already have a strong presence and our products have a stellar reputation for performance and cost efficiency,” stated Glenn D. Bolduc, Implant Sciences’ President and CEO.

Implant Sciences’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Dr. Darryl Jones, added, “The results of these stringent certification tests further demonstrate the strength of our QS-H150. Notable accomplishments in the testing were the very rapid clear-down time, which is essential for high traffic screening areas, the large number and variety of explosives detected at minute levels, and the system’s performance in a wide range of temperatures and environments.”

BOTHELL, WA–(Marketwired – Mar 10, 2014) – Borneo Resource Investments Ltd. (OTCQB: BRNE) (the “Company” or “Borneo”), a mining company that mines gold and develops producing gold mines as well as coal mining properties in Indonesia, today announced it has begun full production on its Ratatotok South gold property. Ratatotok South, which was acquired through Borneo’s subsidiary PT Puncak Kalabat in December 2013, becomes the Company’s second producing gold mine.

Two successful test runs were completed at Ratatotok South in January and February, setting the stage for full production to begin in March. Approximately 2,500 metric tons of high grade ore have been excavated in the last few weeks and positioned in the heapleach containment area. Up to three processing cycles will be run on the ore to extract all of the gold it contains. At the end of each processing cycle the ore enhanced carbon will be moved from the site to the Company’s facilities in Manado for final processing.

“I am very pleased that we were able to move from acquisition, through the processing trials and to full production at Ratatotok South so quickly. Our team was able to fine tune the production process during the trials and our geologists supervised the excavation of a high grade ore body on the property for our first production run,” commented Borneo CEO Nils Ollquist.

Mr. Ollquist went on to say, “Our geologists estimate the ore grade to be 2 to 3 grams of gold per metric ton. The estimated production output from 2,500 metric tons of ore for the first full production run is approximately 7 kg of 80% pure gold. Our intention is to continue to upgrade and refine our production capabilities and to expand our portfolio of high quality properties in the area.”

ROCKVILLE, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RNN), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company announced today initial data for the Phase I dose-escalation clinical trial of SupinoxinTM (RX-5902) initiated in August 2013. This trial was designed to study safety and efficacy in patients with solid cancer tumors.

The study is still ongoing and the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) has not yet been achieved. Three dosing cycles have been completed (25, 50 and 100 mg) and no drug related adverse events have been reported. The fourth dosing cycle (150 mg) has been initiated. Two patients have received 2 cycles of treatment and one patient has received 6 cycles of treatment. Pharmacokinetic analysis has shown that SupinoxinTM displays dose-proportional exposure and an estimated oral bioavailability of 51%. The pharmacokinetic profile of Supinoxin is similar to what has been seen in preclinical studies.

Peter D. Suzdak, Ph.D., Rexahn’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are encouraged that Supinoxin is safe and well-tolerated over the dose range tested in cancer patients with solid tumors who have received multiple cycles of treatment. In addition, the pharmacokinetic profile and oral bioavailability of Supinoxin is consistent with preclinical studies. These data are very encouraging, and we look forward to sharing additional data from the trial when it is completed later this year.”

The Phase I trial of Supinoxin, which was initiated in August 2013, is a dose-escalation study which will evaluate the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicities and MTD in patients with solid cancer tumors that have previously failed treatment with approved therapies and shown progression of disease. Secondary endpoints include pharmacokinetic analysis and evaluating the preliminary anti-tumor effects of Supinoxin. This trial is being conducted in three clinical oncology centers in the United States. Each patient has the ability to continue on the drug up to six cycles of treatment (a dosing cycle is defined as 3 weeks of drug treatment followed by and 1 week off) if no disease progression is seen. Patients are assessed by CT or MRI prior to the start of therapy and after every two cycles of therapy to assess tumor progression. The trial is using an accelerated dose-escalation design: one patient is treated per dose cycle until a grade 2 related adverse event occurs then three patients will be treated per dose cycle. The decision to escalate dose is made by the DMSB after completion of one cycle of treatment based on safety and tolerability. Patients have the possibility to receive up to 6 cycles of treatment if the disease does not progress. Tumor biopsy samples are taken to assess the biomarker phospho-P68.
