@AnEarlofWisdom Hi Earl, I can't see any of the posts, as I'm blocked by those accounts (or I've blocked!), but I've been told there's a lot of scaremongering about various things:

1) Delay in trial;
2) Dox not activating much in TME;
3) Low cash balance, and thus possible placing coming.

1/8
@AnEarlofWisdom On the contrary, except for Cohorts 1 and 2 taking longer than expected (due to patient withdrawals - nothing whatsoever to do with #AVA6000 itself), #AVCT's progress in 2022 could not be stronger.

The DE to 200mg/m2 was the ultimate target, so that nullifies point 2) ⬆️.

@AnEarlofWisdom Licensing deals for targeted oncology drugs - even those at pre-clinical stage, like 3996 - have been monstrous in recent times (e.g. $100m cash upfront for an antibody-drug conjugate, just last month ⬇️).

#AVCT has referenced...

@AnEarlofWisdom ...out-licensing a preCISION asset - but not its lead asset (which is in the clinic), 6000.

The very obvious answer is that it out-licenses 3996 to Takeda, its new next-door neighbour in London, that has recently bought shares in #AVCT.

@AnEarlofWisdom #AVCT has been range-bound for 5 months now, since early April. It's now in the home straight. The final cohort that could complete as early as the first week of November, is now underway.

@avacta is a real anomaly on AIM. Many retail punters think it's vastly overvalued...

@AnEarlofWisdom @avacta ....at £300m. Their reference point is simply other AIM-listed biotechs with drugs in Phase 1 trials.

Holders, however, recognize that #AVCT is a whole different kettle of fish to anything else on AIM.

It's very shortly to prove whether its platform can go on to...

@AnEarlofWisdom @avacta ...revolutionise the $70bn pa chemotherapy market (and also expand it).

We holders thus think #AVCT is vastly UNDERvalued, and could be worth several £ billions in the next couple of years.

7/8
@AnEarlofWisdom @avacta So, to answer your question, shorts are playing with fire, spreading FUD and hoping that #AVCT does NOT go on to revolutionize chemotherapy.

[Imagine trying to make money like that...]

That's why the SP is not rocketing on the back of incredible news (x2) in the past week.

Dare I say a major #AVCT rerate is (at last!) at hand?

Genuinely company-defining news could be landing over the coming weeks.

The question that is shortly to be answered:

Is @avacta's preCISION platform working in man?

If it is, the superheavyweights of Pharma move in.

I have said all I need to, on #AVCT's preCISION platform, here ⬇️:

Since that note, a third cohort has been launched in the AVA6000 trial, with a further considerable dose increase (+33%).

My view is that they stop here. The specificity of the...

Enough dox is already becoming active in the tumour micro-environment, at the current...

Whilst many scream, "avoid loss-making growth stocks like the plague!" (e.g. #AVCT!)...

@Merck ponders a $40bn T/O of oncology-focussed biotech, @SeagenGlobal.

In 2021, Seagen made a loss of $0.67bn, on revs of $1.57bn.

'22 rev forecasts: ~$1.7bn.

$SGEN specializes in antibody-drug conjugates ('ADC') - a relatively novel form of targeted cancer treatment.

@avacta's targeted cancer treatment platform, preCISION, has the real potential of generating pro-chemotherapies that are MORE targeted than ADCs, and thus...

2/6
...also potentially capable of delivering a more potent drug payload.

#AVCT will be announcing the results of the first preCISION prodrug P1 trial (AVA6000) in the next few months.

Success will mean the platform could be used to modify many other existing chemotherapies.

Two weeks from entry into @BushveldMin_Ltd, and the SP (and vanadium market!) is really heating up.

Russia accounts for almost 20% of global V production. With sanctions potentially about to bite, panic buying is evidently already occurring.

The #BMN investment case ⬇️

1/25
@BushveldMin_Ltd controls one of the largest and highest grade vanadium resource bases globally, at 549 million tonnes.

It controls:

- 3 major, high-grade deposits, one of which is a working open-pit mine;

- 2 processing plants;

- an electrolyte plant (in construction).

2/25
#BMN's operations are located on the Bushveld Complex in the North of South Africa.

Prior to 2017, the Co was a pre-revenue mineral explorer. Its flagship asset was the Mokopane vanadium deposit.

A 2016 prefeasibility study suggested a 30-year mine-life, producing...

Rare earth elements continue to fly largely under the radar of the investment community.

The reason being that they're used in traction motors of EVs, and not the ever-discussed batteries.

The key REE, Neodymium, is now up 376% since 1 July '20.

Valuation check on #MKA ⬇️

@MkangoResources is due to complete its bankable feasibility studies for each of its rare earths mine in Malawi (Songwe Hill), and its separation plant in Poland, by the end of next month.

Details have been scarce, but #MKA has indicated the intended output of the...

Presumably with a little guidance from #MKA mgmt, @MkangoResources' broker provided some very basic headline numbers of how the integrated operations...

@PetraDiamondsIR #PDL is now at 96p / £186m and threatening to break out. It's in touching distance of the post-restructuring, intra-day high of 97.5p, with blue skies above.

Interim results are due out next Wednesday.

A basic summary of the investment case ⬇️

1/25
#PDL is a diamond miner, with interests in 4 mines:

3 underground mines in South Africa (all 74% owned), namely: Cullinan, Finsch, and Koffiefontein;

1 open pit mine (75% owned) in Tanzania, named Williamson.

The mines were all acquired from @DeBeers between 2007-11.

2/25
The mines had all suffered from underinvestment when owned by @DeBeers. As such, between 2006 and 2019, #PDL invested approximately $1.6bn in improving the operational efficiencies of the mines and in extending their lives.

Much of this came in the form of debt...

The contrasting opinions on @avacta's valuation on FinTwit is fascinating.

Those who think #AVCT is overvalued, just can't seem to get their heads around the possibility that a £250m British biotech could be on the cusp of revolutionizing cancer treatment.

The bull case⬇️

1/25
#AVCT has four platform technologies:

1) Affimer Diagnostics
2) Affimer Therapeutics
3) pre CISION
4) TMAC (a combo of 2+3)

The purpose of this thread is to focus on and explain pre CISION and its potential value. This is the greatest near-term value driver for @avacta.

2/25
pre CISION - what is it? The most basic of explanations would be:

"Chemotherapy with dramatically reduced side-effects."

Chemotherapies are highly effective treatments for cancer, and have been used for decades. The issue with them, however, is that their effects are...
