Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Biotech and Pharma Stock News: (OTC: AEMD), (Nasdaq:VRUS), (VRTX)

POINT ROBERTS, November 25, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, issues a biotech/pharma investor snapshot for stocks involved in the treatment of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Over 170 million people worldwide are chronically infected with Hepatitis C. The sector made headlines earlier this week as Pharmasset, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRUS), traded up over 84% on acquisition news.

Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:GILD) and Pharmasset, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRUS) reported the companies have signed a definitive agreement under which Gilead will acquire Pharmasset for $137 per share in cash.
What does this mean for the sector? Are there other potential acquisitions? Some say this acquisition makes Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (VRTX) look relatively cheap.
Pharmasset (Nasdaq:VRUS) has three clinical-stage product candidates for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) advancing in trials in various populations. The company's lead product candidate, PSI-7977, an unpartnered uracil nucleotide analog, has recently been advanced into two Phase 3 studies in genotype 2 and 3 patients. Both studies will utilize 12 weeks of treatment with PSI-7977 in combination with ribavirin. One study will compare this all-oral regimen against 24 weeks of the standard-of-care pegylated interferon/ribavirin in treatment-naïve patients, and the second study will compare the all-oral regimen to placebo in interferon-intolerant/ineligible patients. A third Phase 3 study in genotype 1 patients will be initiated in the second half of 2012, the design of which is dependent on the outcome of Phase 2 studies which are evaluating PSI-7977 in various combinations in genotype 1-infected patients. If successful, this strategy could lead to an initial U.S. regulatory approval of PSI-7977 in 2014. PSI-938, an unpartnered guanosine nucleotide analog, is being tested in a Phase 2b interferon-free trial as monotherapy and in combination with PSI-7977 in subjects with HCV of all viral genotypes. Mericitabine (RG7128), a cytidine nucleoside analog, is partnered with Roche and is being evaluated in three Phase 2b trials. Roche is responsible for all aspects of the development of mericitabine.
Gilead's research and development portfolio includes seven unique molecules in various stages of clinical development for the treatment of HCV.
James A. Joyce, Chairman and CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD) recently updated shareholders on November 16 th, "Our Hemopurifier® has demonstrated broad-spectrum capabilities against viral pathogens, including HCV, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and a variety of tested bioterror and pandemic threats. Specific to treating HCV, we previously conducted studies that demonstrated the safe administration of our Hemopurifier® in HCV-infected dialysis patients whose average viral load reductions exceeded 50% during each four-hour treatment. These results were obtained in the absence of any drug therapy."
Full news: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Aethlon-Medical-Releases-prnews-4279719933.html?x=0&l=
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (VRTX) announced earlier in November its interim results from ZENITH, an ongoing Phase 2 study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of multiple 12- and 24-week response-guided treatment regimens with VX-222 (100mg or 400mg), its lead polymerase inhibitor in development, in combination with INCIVEK™ (telaprevir) tablets, pegylated-interferon and ribavirin in people with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C who were new to treatment. On the basis of the results announced today and previously announced data from other treatment arms of the ZENITH study, Vertex intends to start a Phase 3 study to evaluate a total treatment duration of 12 weeks with this four-drug regimen in treatment naïve and relapser patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C.

Frac Water Treatment : Q&A Interview with GreenHunter Water LLC (AMEX:GRH)

Point Roberts, WA - November 23, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks and energy stocks issues a recent Q&A interview with GreenHunter Water LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc (AMEX: GRH). Jonathan D. Hoopes, President & COO discusses how their products and services will play a key role in providing water, environmental and regulatory solutions for shale producers.

Q: Investorideas.com
GreenHunter Water, LLC, your wholly owned subsidiary, recently announced a contract for the Eagle Ford Shale drilling area. Can you tell us the scope of the contract and the direct use for your technology?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
This contract is a long term agreement to provide frac tanks and other equipment typically rented for hydraulic fracturing operations. Due to difficulties in obtaining equipment when it is needed, the operator desired to enter into a long term contract to secure the items that are necessary to ensure smooth logistics and operational efficiency and prevent delays in their drilling program.
Q: Investorideas.com
With increasing regulation and pressure for the oil and gas industry to deal with frac water, how do you see your company rolling out your technology?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
We anticipate an increase in demand for GreenHunter Water's Total Water Management Solutions™ as the perceived and real need to reuse water increases. The technologies that we deploy have been in a development phase for many years and there are several viable technology platforms that we have identified for use with multiple drilling areas.
Q: Investorideas.com
What differentiates your technology in the marketplace?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
GreenHunter Water's water treatment technology is designed to be highly adaptable. Because the oilfield is an industry with many unforeseen variables, adaptability is a key ingredient for success. For example, flowback from a single shale play can be, and often is, strikingly different from well to well and even a single producer may be faced with highly divergent needs. In cases where the water is similar, logistical needs may differ due to geography, limitations in infrastructure, labor shortages and urgent time tables.
Accordingly, GreenHunter Water uses a technology-agnostic approach to oilfield water treatment. When we provide our Frac-Cycle™ water treatment service, we do so in a consultative and collaborative approach with our clients after gaining an understanding of their specific needs and objectives.
Q: Investorideas.com
As GreenHunter Water builds out its salt water disposal and water treatment technologies, what other applications do you see moving forward?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
We are working with E&P (exploration and production) companies on multiple RFPs (requests for proposals). These include improved logistics, hauling and water transfer contracts, temporary modular storage and frac tank rental agreements, RAMCAT™ (Remote Access Monitoring and Compliance Asset Tracking) cradle-to-grave tracking solutions, condensate drip gas reclamation and marketing and turnkey salt water disposal management agreements. We believe our multi-pronged approach is the right way to penetrate the market and we expect to see significant business growth in 2012.
GreenHunter Water LLC ( AMEX:GRH) is a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc. which provides Total Water Management Solutions(TM) in the oilfield. An understanding that there is no single solution to E&P fluids management shapes GreenHunter's technology-agnostic approach to services. In addition to licensing of and joint ventures with manufacturers of mobile water treatment systems, GreenHunter Water is expanding capacity of salt water disposal, temporary above-ground storage, hauling and fresh water logistics services - including 21st Century tracking technologies that allow Shale producers to optimize the efficiency of their water resource management and planning while complying with emerging regulations.

Frac Water Treatment: Water Stocks to Watch: (OTCBB:ABHD), (OTCBB:ESPH), (GRH), (OTCBB:WSCE)

Point Roberts, WA - November 22, 2011 � Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks and energy stocks issues a snapshot of four water stocks with technologies that are being used in the energy sector for remediation of produced and or frac water.

As new rules and regulations governing the oil and gas industry are introduced , the treatment of frac water and produced water create a problem for the energy industry but a booming business opportunity for the water companies with technologies that provide solutions .
As the Wall Street Journal recently stated, "The growing volume of dirty water produced in shale-gas drilling has triggered a gold rush among water-treatment companies."
AbTech Holdings, Inc.(OTCBB: ABHD) announced last week the successful completion of field testing of its Smart Sponge® Mixed Media Contactor ("Contactor") to treat produced water at a Wyoming natural gas exploration and production site. The AbTech Contactors were designed to remove the hydrocarbons present in the produced water in order to protect and thereby substantially increase the useful life of downstream treatment equipment and technologies including a reverse osmosis system. The Smart Sponge Mixed Media Contactors removed 99.99% of the free oil and dissolved phase hydrocarbons (BTEX). Field testing and data collection was done under rigorous conditions throughout the fall of 2011.
Ecosphere Technologies, Inc (OTCBB:ESPH) announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, Ecosphere Energy Services, LLC has treated approximately 1.095 billion gallons of frac water since 2008 for major energy exploration and production companies to eliminate chemicals and preserve vital water resources.
GreenHunter Water, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GRH), announced earlier this month that it has secured a significant new order to provide equipment rental and services which include thirty (30) new frac storage tanks to an independent oil and gas operator active in the Eagle Ford Shale drilling region of South Texas. Delivery of the new frac tanks was completed approximately one week ago. The initial one year contract includes rental and management of multiple sized fluid tanks, including 500 BBL water storage tanks, manifolds and other services. This new customer is also exploring other business opportunities offered by GreenHunter's Total Water Management Solutions™. These include water treatment and reuse of "clean brine", RAMCAT™ remote access monitoring equipment, water hauling and commercial salt water disposal, and advanced logistics optimization.
Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB:WSCE) is focused on applications for environmental remediation, metering and measurement, oil and gas field intelligence solutions, and solutions for unconventional oil and gas. The company's technology has been field tested for produced water but has frac water applications as well .

Nanotechnology Stocks; mPhase (OTC.BB:XDSL) Explains Key Technology Features of Smart Surface Technology

LITTLE FALLS, NJ - November 22, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB: XDSL.OB) has developed a technology that exploits the phenomenon of electrowetting or the ability to electronically manipulate the way liquids behave when in contact with a solid or porous surface. Liquids such as water will bead up on a surface that is superhydrophobic, but can be made to move or spread out by electrowetting. The same is true for an organic liquid if the surface is superlyophobic.

mPhase is pursuing this emerging technology, which is now being actively researched at a number of universities who are publicizing their work on electrowetting, superhydrophobicity and superlyophobicity.
The technology is being used to create so-called "smart" structures on metal, ceramic, polymer surfaces and other advanced materials that can resist getting dirty, fogging up, or forming ice. They also can be used for displays, lenses and other applications.
To date mPhase has been concentrating on smart battery applications by exploiting this same electrowetting phenomenon in their Smart NanoBattery by manipulating the liquid electrolyte via a proprietary porous silicon structure shown in Figure 1.
The breakthrough has enabled a unique reserve-style battery architecture that has proven adaptable to a wide range of chemistries, with the initial development based on zinc manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2) chemistries, similar to the typical alkaline battery used in a flashlight or TV remote control, as well as development focused on higher-energy density, lithium manganese dioxide (Li/MnO2), chemistries found in laptops, cell phones and digital cameras. Future applications that can be implemented within the same architecture include rechargeable batteries based on lithium-based chemistries.
These correlate to first launching and proving out the technology for a reserve battery, then a primary cell with the Zn/MnO2 or Li/MnO2 chemistries, and later a secondary (rechargeable) battery.
At that point, if completed the family of mPhase Batteries will be (reserve, primary and secondary) potentially serving a wide range of applications.
About mPhase Technologies, Inc.
mPhase Technologies is introducing a revolutionary Smart Surface technology enabled by breakthroughs in nanotechnology, MEMS processing and microfluidics. Our Smart Surface technology has potential applications within drug delivery systems, lab-on-a-chip analytic systems, self-cleaning systems, liquid and chemical sensor systems, and filtration systems. mPhase has pioneered its first Smart Surface enabled product, the mPhase Smart NanoBattery.
In addition to the Smart Surface technology, mPhase recently introduced its first product, the mPower Emergency Illuminator, an award-winning product designed by Porsche Design Studio and sold via the mPower website: http://www.mpowertech.com. More information about the company can be found at http://www.mPhaseTech.com.

Silver Buffs: An Investor Snapshot for SilverCrest Mines (TSX-V: SVL, OTCQX: STVZF)

November 22, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors issues releases the following mining company snapshot for silver stock, SilverCrest Mines (TSX-V: SVL ,OTCQX: STVZF), featuring expert commentary, recent news, videos and a summary of 2011 milestones and achievements.

SilverCrest Mines announced last Monday it had identified a large bulk tonnage target at La Joya; Hole 17, intercepting 205.2m Grading 92.7 gpt silver equivalent. Investors reacted sharply to the news and recognized the potential at La Joya; the stock had a record trading week.
For investors following gold and silver stocks, Eric Sprott of Sprott Asset Management says, "Silver is the investment of this decade!" .
According to the Silver Institute, a report prepared by Thomson Reuters GFMS states: "The forecasts for world silver investment will reach a record high total of $10 billion in 2011, representing a 66 percent increase over the $6 billion posted in 2010."
Investors continue to turn to precious metals as a safe haven as the Euro- zone debt crisis makes headlines . A recent quote from Eric Sprott supports investor sentiment ,"The ultimate destiny for gold and silver is that people will prefer to own those investments rather than have money in the bank."
What the analysts and experts say about Silver Stock, SilverCrest Mines:
Ron Struthers, Struthers Resource Stock Report (11/16/11) "SilverCrest Mines Inc. released a large number of drill results from the La Joya project. In addition to its own new holes, the company was given complete access to a database of 51 historic holes; the large database now in SilverCrest's possession hasn't simplified the geology but it has highlighted, in management's opinion, the potential for La Joya to host a large bulk-tonnage resource in addition to the higher-grade structures the company has focused on."
Nicholas Campbell, Canaccord Genuity (11/15/11) "SilverCrest Mines Inc.'s phase 1 26-hole drill program is complete. . .33 of the holes completed on the Main Mineralized Trend (MMT) have drill defined a semi-continuous mineralized zone over 1,000m by 500m to a vertical depth of up to 230m. . .we expect an initial silver resource in excess of 50 Moz with gold and copper by-products. The 44 historical drill holes completed outside the MMT demonstrates the potential to expand the mineralization. . .longer-term, we see potential for La Joya to develop into a 100+ Moz silver resource."
Morning Coffee (11/15/11 ) "SilverCrest Mines Inc. announced that data compilation for the phase I drilling program and a newly received historic database has identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target at its La Joya silver-copper-gold property in Durango, Mexico. . .the program has defined a 500x1,000m semi-continuous zone of mineralization with mineralization drilled to a depth of up to 230m with Ag eq values of 15-202 g/t. . .La Joya could host an initial silver resource in excess of 40 Moz, with significant upside potential."
Greg McCoach, Mining Speculator (11/8/11) "SilverCrest Mines Inc. is greatly undervalued and should be making significant gains when silver resumes its next trek higher. On the production front, the company announced they have had continued growth of silver and gold production in the third quarter 2011 from the Santa Elena mine located in Sonora, Mexico: Compared with Q211, silver production was up 43% to 106,636 oz and gold production was up 61% to 8,805 oz... .the Company is a Buy at current levels."
2011 Milestones and Achievements
SilverCrest had a tremendously exciting year in 2011, achieving a number of milestones which have paved the way for further production growth and exploration success in 2012 and beyond.
We met or exceeded our goals and expectations for 2011 in the following areas:
A bought deal financing of $30 million was completed in May and debt repayment was accelerated throughout the year.

• Commercial production was declared in June at our flagship property, Santa Elena open pit, heap leach silver and gold mine.
• Positive cash flow was reported in Q2 and Q3 with projected 2011 annual production expected to reach approximately 26,000 oz Au and 400,000 oz Ag.
• Key executive and operating staff have been added to the already talented SilverCrest team.
• An aggressive expansion plan that will include the construction of a conventional mill facility and underground resource development of Santa Elena to double current production to commence soon.

At the La Joya project in Durango a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target has been identified. A completed 26-hole drill program and a number of verified historical drill holes from a historic data package will be the basis of SVL's initial N 43-101 resource estimate by the end of 2011. A phase II drill program to begin soon.
"SilverCrest Mines Inc. is extraordinarily positioned in an exploding market sector with increasing production and cash flow, remarkable upside exploration potential and more than $32 million in cash, making it one of the premier investment vehicles in the silver space"

Recent News: SilverCrest Mines (TSX-V: SVL ,OTCQX: STVZF) Identifies Large Bulk Tonnage Target at La Joya; Hole 17 intercepts 205.2m Grading 92.7 gpt Silver Equivalent ."
SilverCrest Mines Inc. announced last Monday, that data compilation for the Phase I drilling program and a newly received historic database has identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target at its La Joya property in Durango, Mexico. The compilation by SilverCrest has involved data and/or drill core review of 51 historic holes (14,786 metres) and 26 Company drill holes (5,716 metres) totaling 20,502 metres of drilling in 77 holes on the property. Verification or validation work completed by an Independent Qualified Person included review of 22 historic holes, Company drill information, geologic mapping, sampling, geochemistry, and historic airborne and ground geophysics. The compilation of these data will be incorporated into the upcoming NI43-101 Technical Report and resource estimate.
All 26 SilverCrest drill holes and 27 historic drill holes (verified with assays) intersected polymetallic mineralization that includes silver (Ag), copper (Cu), gold (Au), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo). Thirty three widely-spaced holes approximately 100 metres apart have identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target in the Phase I drilling area along the Main Mineralized Trend ("MMT") at La Joya.The MMT is defined, by using results from the Company's Phase I program and validated historic drill hole information, as a semi-continuous Ag-Cu-Au-Pb-Zn mineralized corridor with current "drilled-defined" dimensions of approximately 1,000 metres by 500 metres. The MMT includes a combination of wide vertical stockwork zones and multiple-stacked, polymetallic, stratabound horizons up to 230 metres in vertical thickness with grades ranging from 15.9 gpt to 202.4 gpt Ag equivalent*.
