Mining Stock Alert: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Announces Q1 Production 201,101 Ounces Silver and 7,545 Ounces Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia - April 15, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to announce silver and gold production numbers for the first quarter of 2014 from its 100% owned Santa Elena Mine located in Sonora, Mexico. For additional information and to view photos and videos, please visit the Company’s website at www.silvercrestmines.com.

Production Highlights of Q1, 2014 vs. Q1, 2013;
  • Silver production of 201,101 ounces; a 31% increase.
  • Gold production of 7,545 ounces; a 4% increase.
  • Silver equivalent (1) production of 653,801 ounces; a 17% increase.
  • Waste to ore ratio of 0.94 was consistent with the mine plan; a 78% decrease.
  • Ore Tonnes crushed decreased 21% to 200,982 tonnes with throughput averaging 2,233 tpd .
  • Average grades loaded on pad increased from 62.1gpt to 86.8 gpt (40%) for silver and from 1.54 to 1.79 gpt (16%) for gold.
N. Eric Fier, President and COO stated ; “During the first three months of 2014, Santa Elena experienced lower ore and waste tonnes mined from the open pit as it approached the end of its mine life. However, metal production exceeded corporate guidance projections for the quarter. The Company continues to focus on the completion stages of the Santa Elena Expansion Plan which should significantly increase our annual precious metal production starting in mid-2014. The recently announced pit closure at Santa Elena may have some impact on Q2 production but SilverCrest maintains the previously announced 2014 corporate production guidance of 3.3 to 3.6 million ounces AgEq (60:1). ”
Investorideas.com Newswire (1) Silver equivalent ("AgEq") ounces consist of the number of ounces of silver production/sold plus the number of ounces of gold production/sold multiplied by 60:1 gold price to silver price ratio, as determined in the 2014 budget, prior to Q1 2014, the AgEq ratio was based on the spot gold price to the spot silver price at the quarter end dates for financial reporting. All numbers are rounded.
First quarter of 2014 metal production was down 12% and 18% for silver and gold, respectively, compared to Q4, 2013. The decrease in silver and gold production was related to reduced ore tonnes mined and crushed in Q1 2014, which was somewhat offset by higher gold and silver grades. Open pit mining and crushing activities were reduced in Q1 and ultimately discontinued on April 04, 2014. No further ore will be loaded on the leach pad with ongoing stockpiling of high grade underground ore for milling. Silver and gold production will continue from the pad until at least August 2014.
SilverCrest is now focusing on the accelerated development of the underground mine at Santa Elena with 2,480 metres of the main ramp driven to date (570m level), which will provide access to high grade mill feed starting in Q2 2014. Initially, the mill will process leach pad ore only and underground ore will be stockpiled. In late Q2, blending of leach pad and underground ore should begin with testing of optimal mix ratios in H2, 2014.
First Quarter Financial Results Release:
The Company plans to issue its first quarter financial results on Thursday, May 15, 2014.
The Qualified Person under National Instrument (NI 43-101) Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects for this News Release is N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President and Chief Operating Officer for SilverCrest Mines Inc., who has reviewed and approved its contents.
SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVLC; TSX: SVL) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest’s flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine of 8 years and operating cash costs of $11 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au) for the open pit heap leach and underground mine. SilverCrest anticipates that the new 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover an average annual rate of 1.5 million ounces of silver and 32,800 ounces of gold over the current reserve. Major expansion and construction of the 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility is nearing completion and is expected to significantly increase metals production at the Santa Elena Mine (open pit and underground) in 2014 and beyond. Exploration programs continue to make new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State, Mexico.

Breaking Tech News: NXT-ID's (OTCQB: NXTD) Dynamic Pairing Prevents Security Vulnerabilities Such as Heartbleed Security Leak

SHELTON, CT - April 14, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announced today solutions to prevent issues such as the Heartbleed OpenSSL security leak using its patent pending Dynamic Pairing.
Investorideas.com Newswire
Gino Pereira, CEO of Nxt-ID said, "Dynamic Pairing is an important part of our MobileBio® product offerings including Wocket™. What sets us apart is that we not only authenticate who you are to access your private information, but we also protect it through sophisticated and novel encryption methods."
OpenSSL, a widely used open-source encryption standard, recently became the source of one of the largest security flaws ever reported. A little more than half the Internet is secured with OpenSSL, not including all the various email, chat, and app services on various platforms. The security flaw takes advantage of what OpenSSL calls a "heartbeat," where data is exchanged between a device and a server. Under normal circumstances, a device can only request a specific amount of data from the service. However, a recent bug introduced into the OpenSSL codebase allowed more than the specific amount to be extracted, causing more information to be revealed to the device than the device should be authorized to receive.
NXT-ID's Dynamic Pairing has its own heartbeat method, but unlike other methods such as OpenSSL, each data request is dynamic and based upon a risk analysis algorithm that inherently validates authentication. Since, by its very nature, authentication under dynamic pairing changes with each access, unauthorized data can never be revealed to any device. Dynamic Pairing adds authentication and security that overcome traditional vulnerabilities of methods such SSL and TLS.
In the case of Heartbleed, a hacker is accessing data over what the server assumed to be, a secure channel. The hacker then uses that channel to continually probe the server for more and more data. With Dynamic Pairing, the authentication score determines the level of trust the server gives an incoming connection. When a server utilizes Pairing Codes which are encrypted with dynamic authentication scores, a server would not be susceptible to an attack like Heartbleed.

Stevia / LOHAS Stock Alert: GLG (TSX: GLG) Announces High Purity Reb M GRAS Notification With FDA

Vancouver, B.C. - April 14, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) GLG Life Tech Corporation (TSX: GLG) ("GLG" or the "Company"), a global leader in the agricultural and commercial development of high quality natural sweeteners, announces that it has submitted a Generally Recognized as Safe ("GRAS") notification with the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its high purity Rebaudioside M stevia extract product.

This notification represents many months of work to develop the product and all required documentation under the FDA-administered GRAS process to demonstrate that GLG's Reb M extract meets the FDA's criteria for safety. This included in-depth consultation with GRAS Associates, LLC who convened an independent panel of scientists to spearhead this safety assessment.
GLG has now prepared and submitted six GRAS filings related to its stevia extract products --- the largest number filed by any company in the world today. GLG has three other GRAS projects underway for additional high purity stevia products and Luo Han Guo products that are expected to be released for review by the FDA in 2014.
GLG has the largest number of stevia products certified under the GRAS process including rebaudioside A products ranging from purities of 50 to 97%, high purity stevioside (STV) and now high purity rebaudioside M. Additional products currently underway for additional GRAS work include high purity rebaudioside C and high purity rebaudioside D. The company is also working on a GRAS application for Luo Han Guo extracts. GLG is committed to ensuring that their ranges of naturally sourced sweetener products are fully documented to comply with the FDA GRAS process.
GLG is also working through its 2014 agriculture development program that is focused on developing new varieties of stevia leaf that will contain higher amounts of the scarcer glycosides such as Rebaudioside C, D and M --- all through Non-GMO breeding. The Company had very encouraging results with 2013's program, and plans to continue to develop some of the more interesting varieties in 2014. For example, in some of the 2013 seedlings, more than double the average of rebaudioside C and rebaudioside D was achieved while still having high glycoside weight in the leaf and high rebaudioside A content. Our products will always be naturally sourced from the stevia leaf.

Biotech News Alert: Q & A Interview with C.E.O of Sunshine Biopharma (OTCQB: SBFM) Discussing Recent News of Improved Effectiveness of Lead Compound Adva-27a

New York, NY - Point Roberts, WA - April 14, 2014 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including biotech and pharma, issues an exclusive Q&A interview with the CEO of Sunshine Biopharma Inc. ( OTCQB: SBFM ), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer.

Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma shares insights into recent developments with the company’s lead compound, Adva-27a.
Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
The company recently announced improved effectiveness of your lead compound Adva-27a. Can you explain to investors what the results were and what that means moving forward?
A: Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma
We resolved the two isomeric forms of our lead anticancer compound, Adva-27a, and as a result the specific activity of the drug candidate has increased 9.5-fold. We had previously announced that the concentration at which Adva-27a inhibited 50% of the activity of Topoisomerase II, an enzyme that cancer cells use to proliferate, (IC50) was 13.7 micromolar (see press release issued on October 5, 2011). As a result of this recent laboratory development Adva-27a’s IC50 has dropped 9.5-fold, to 1.44 micromolar.
This implies that significantly lower quantities of the drug can be used to achieve the same effect. In the long run, this could also mean lower therapeutic dosages for our future breast cancer and pancreatic cancer patients, which theoretically should result in reduced side-effects.
Q: Investorideas.com
Will this improved effectiveness apply to all the cancers you are targeting or just one specific target?
A: Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma
Yes, theoretically this improved effectiveness applies to all cancer types in which Adva-27a is effective.
Q: Investorideas.com
What triggered you toresolve the two isomeric forms of your lead anticancer compound, Adva-27a?.
A: Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma
Resolving the isomeric forms of a lead compound is usually one of the matters addressed at the final stages of drug synthesis. Not all compounds have isomeric forms. Adva-27a happens to be a compound that does, owing to the presence of a carbohydrate moiety which is important for the anticancer activity of the molecule.
Q: Investorideas.com
You announced in late January that the company is now targeting pancreatic cancer as a second indication for Adva-27a, what is the significance of a second indication?
A: Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma
Pancreatic cancer has an extremely poor prognosis. Most pancreatic cancer patients will die within one year of diagnosis. Cancer of the pancreas is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Recently, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network released a special report entitled, ‘The Alarming Rise of Pancreatic Cancer Deaths in the United States: Why We Need to Stem the Tide Today’. The alarming findings presented in the report included the fact that by the year 2020, and possibly as early as 2015, pancreatic cancer will move from the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths to the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. It is the aggressive nature and lack of effective therapy that lead us to apply Adva-27a for use against pancreatic cancer.
About Adva-27a
Adva-27a is Sunshine Biopharma's lead anticancer compound, a small molecule that has recently been shown to be effective at killing multidrug resistant breast cancer cells, small-cell lung cancer cells, uterine sarcoma cells and pancreatic cancer cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). Adva-27a is currently in the IND-Enabling stage of development. The original U.S. patent covering Adva-27a was issued on August 7, 2012 under U.S. patent number 8,236,935.
About Sunshine Biopharma Inc. ( OTCBB: SBFM )
Sunshine Biopharma is an early stage pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. Sunshine Biopharma recently announced that it has initiated IND-Enabling studies for its lead antitumor compound, Adva-27a, which is currently targeted for multidrug resistant cancer.

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Note: U.S. Clinical Progression

SAN DIEGO - April 9, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), today released the following note authored by its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce.

In the coming months, we plan to initiate the first FDA approved study of Hemopurifier® therapy in the United States. Historically, U.S. clinical progression of extracorporeal devices directed toward a single disease indication has been a proven model for value creation.
Our clinical objectives are a bit more ambitious as we aim to navigate Hemopurifier® therapy into both cancer and infectious disease indications. Yes, we plan to file an investigational device exemption (IDE) to treat cancer later this year. We are also investigating Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) opportunities based on our broad-spectrum bioterror and pandemic threat data and have begun to explore Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) pathways for orphan conditions that affect fewer than 4,000 individuals in the U.S. each year.
To support the breadth of our long-term therapeutic vision, we often encounter challenging decisions. As an example, we recently disclosed a clinical relationship with DaVita Clinical Research, which required a lengthy process to establish and thus contributed to delay the initiation of our hepatitis c virus (HCV) feasibility study. However, the resulting relationship transitioned our potential clinical footprint from a single-site institute to an institute with more than 250 clinical sites to support long-term regulatory objectives.
Since crossing the threshold of having the FDA clear our candidate therapy for human studies, our therapeutic focus has been honed toward clinical progression to support future registration of Hemopurifier® therapy in the United States. The protocol of our forthcoming feasibility study calls for the enrollment of ten HCV-infected end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who have not received HCV drug therapy for at least 30 days. The protocol includes a control phase which consists of three consecutive standard dialysis treatments during week one followed by the inclusion of our Hemopurifier® for a total of six treatments administered during weeks two and three. The rate of adverse events observed during the Hemopurifier® treatment phase will be compared to the rate experienced during the control phase. Per-treatment changes of viral load will be observed through PCR analysis and we will also quantitate HCV viral copies captured within the Hemopurifier® during each treatment session. Successful completion of the feasibility study will set the stage for us to conduct pivotal efficacy studies required for Hemopurifier® market clearance. The study will also contribute data toward the human safety challenge requirement to advance the Hemopurifier® as a broad-spectrum countermeasure against viral bioterror and pandemic threats, whose lethality do not allow for the administration of clinical efficacy studies. Based on our experience conducting a similar protocol overseas, we are cautiously optimistic.
In closing, it is our sincere hope to reward shareholders whose support never wavered, even in the face of material setbacks and the clinical uncertainty of whether FDA would permit Hemopurifier® studies in the United States. As a result of this support, we have an opportunity to advance our therapeutic platform into a wide-range of life-threatening disease conditions.
About Aethlon Medical, Inc.

Biotech News Alert: Sunshine Biopharma (OTCQB: SBFM) Increases the Effectiveness of Adva-27a Lead Compound 9.5-Fold Against Breast and Pancreatic Cancer in Vitro

Montreal, Quebec - April 7, 2014 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCQB: SBFM), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer today announced that it has resolved the two isomeric forms of its lead anticancer compound, Adva-27a, and as a result the specific activity of the drug candidate has increased 9.5-fold. Sunshine Biopharma had previously announced that the concentration at which Adva-27a inhibited 50% of the activity of Topoisomerase II (IC50) was 13.7 micromolar (see press release issued on October 5, 2011). As a result of today's development Adva-27a's IC50 has dropped 9.5-fold, to 1.44 micromolar. This implies that significantly lower quantities of the drug can be used to achieve the same effect.

"Isomeric forms of a compound refer to the fact that the compound has different arrangements of its atoms in space," said Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma. "Isomeric forms do not have identical properties. In the case of Adva-27a, the molecule exists in the alpha or beta form. This is a lot like a person's left hand and right hand. While the two hands look identical, they actually are not. They are mirror images of each other but are not superimposable. The fact that they are not superimposable means that they are not identical. Similarly, the alpha and beta forms of Adva-27a are not superimposable. The implications of all of this for our future breast cancer and pancreatic cancer patients are lower therapeutic dosages, which theoretically should result in reduced side-effects."
About Adva-27a
Adva-27a is Sunshine Biopharma's lead anticancer compound, a small molecule that has recently been shown to be effective at killing multidrug resistant breast cancer cells, small-cell lung cancer cells, uterine sarcoma cells and pancreatic cancer cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). Adva-27a is currently in the IND-Enabling stage of development. The original U.S. patent covering Adva-27a was issued on August 7, 2012 under U.S. patent number 8,236,935. The Company is planning a Phase I clinical trial of Adva-27a for pancreatic cancer in parallel to the Phase I clinical trial of Adva-27a for multidrug resistant breast cancer to be conducted at McGill University's Jewish General Hospital in Montreal (Canada).

Mining Stock Alert: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Updates Santa Elena Mine Expansion Plan

Vancouver, British Columbia - April 7, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to provide an update on activities for the expansion of the Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico. The Santa Elena Mine expansion is on budget (+/-5%) with initial start up of the new 3000 tpd operation anticipated later this month. The most significant activities are outlined below. For additional information and to view photos and videos, please visit the Company's website at www.silvercrestmines.com.

N. Eric Fier, President and COO stated; "We are pleased with the final stages of the Santa Elena Expansion Plan which will significantly increase our precious metal production starting in mid-2014. Previous delay in delivery of the ball mill has pushed back our original Q1 start up to early Q2 while remaining on budget. The start up of the mill this month will be a major milestone for SilverCrest. The Company continues to grow as a low cost junior operator transitioning into a successful mid-tier precious metal producer. As part of a revised start up schedule we have elected to discontinue open pit operations and accelerate underground operations. These operational changes may have some impact on Q2 production but no change to the previously announced 2014 corporate production guidance of 3.3 to 3.6 million ounces AgEq (60:1)."
Santa Elena Expansion Plan
  • New CCD/Merrill Crowe processing plant is 96% complete with final electrical and piping work being completed and tested over the next two weeks.
  • 80% of the major equipment has been tested and passed for initial start up. The remaining 20% will be tested during start up.
  • FLSmidth, the primary equipment supplier, has representatives on site supervising final work in anticipation of mill commissioning over the next 3 months.
  • Ore feed during the mill commissioning period will come from a blend of high grade underground ore and the upper part of the leach pad which represents the last 6 months of high grade open pit production that has only received partial leaching.
  • As planned with mill start up, no further ore will be loaded on the leach pad but gold and silver production will continue at a diminishing rate from the pad until at least August, 2014.
  • As part of the previously announced transition to underground mining, open pit operations have ceased as of April 4, 2014 which is approximately 3 months ahead of original schedule. Operational constraints presented by the mine contractor amongst other factors have triggered this early cessation of pit operations. Remaining open pit reserves are readily accessible from the 700m and 675m underground planned levels and the Company is scheduling retrieval of these reserves at a later date. Total reserves are unaffected by cessation of the pit operations.

    Underground mining and development has been accelerated providing access to high grade ore feed to the mill over the next 3 months to replace ore that was expected from planned open pit production. From May through July (mill commissioning period), underground ore feed to the mill will come from increased ore development at a rate of 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes per month (previously 5,000 tpm). Underground ore will be blended with leach pad ore to achieve nameplate mill capacity of 3,000 tpd by July 2014. Key underground personnel are in place to execute the accelerated underground operations.
  • Underground equipment for owner operated production is expected to arrive on site in early May and initial production stoping is scheduled for late June or early July 2014.
  • Decline access work continues with approximately 2,400 metres of the main ramp driven to date (570m level). The 575m level is planned for 1st stope production.
Despite the operational changes in mine schedule of early pit closure and accelerated underground operations, the Company maintains previously announced 2014 corporate production guidance of 3.3 to 3.6 million ounces AgEq (60:1) will be unchanged.

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT:SVLC; SVL.TO)
is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest's flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine of 8 years and operating cash costs of $11 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au) for the open pit heap leach and underground mine. SilverCrest anticipates that the new 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover an average annual rate of 1.5 million ounces of silver and 32,800 ounces of gold over the current reserve. Major expansion and construction of the 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility is nearing completion and is expected to significantly increase metals production at the Santa Elena Mine (open pit and underground) in 2014 and beyond. Exploration programs continue to make new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State, Mexico.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and the United States Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concern the Company's anticipated results and developments in the Company's operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on expectations of future performance, including silver and gold production and planned work programs. Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed and, in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to precious and base metal price fluctuations; risks related to fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and United States dollar); risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities; uncertainty in the Company's ability to raise financing and fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining operations; risks related to reserves and mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and to diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining necessary licenses and permits; risks related to the business being subject to environmental laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our operations; risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance; risks related to potential litigation; risks related to the global economy; risks related to the Company's status as a foreign private issuer in the United States; risks related to all of the Company's properties being located in Mexico and El Salvador, including political, economic, social and regulatory instability; and risks related to officers and directors becoming associated with other natural resource companies which may give rise to conflicts of interests. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
