Tracking who has been infected and who hasn't will be key to a successful end to lockdown
Catenae Innovation PLC -
The app can be used on any phone

A consortium of companies developing a breakthrough phone app that can store and share coronavirus test information is making progress with the prototype.

The Cov-ID is being fast-tracked to the market by Z/Yen Group using technology developed by AIM-listed Catenae Innovation PLC (LON:CTEA)

GOVERNMENT CONSIDER ISLE OF WIGHT FOR CORONAVIRUS APP TRIAL

https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/917996/catenae-innovation-ceo-talks-strategy-and-significant-new-cov-id-project-917996.html

Catenae Innovation (LON:CTEA) CEO Guy Meyer introduces the business to Proactive London's Andrew Scott and recaps on the recent corporate restructure and renewed strategy.

''What we offer is a service for our customers to prove that they did what they said they would do at the time they would do it ... so it's a proof of service really'', he says.

The firm's recently announced it's joined a consortium led by Z/Yen Group with the objective of building a GDPR compliant identity documentation exchange system called "Cov-ID" which will record a person's Covid-19 test status.

The Cov-ID Project Technical mobilisation should occur over the next 2 week period, with a prototype, testing and finalisation stage occurring in the following 2 week period.

Political Editor Gordon Rayner explains that the Prime Minister is expected to decide later this week whether to start easing parts of the lockdown after being given fresh scientific advice. In one of the first signs that the lockdown is starting to be relaxed, councils have been told to draw up plans to reopen tips. They might reopen as early next week - but householders could be asked to book appointments. Remind yourself of the (existing) rules for daily life.

How shortage of Covid-19 antibody testing kits can be eased by collaboration in UK biotech industry

At-home testing may be on the horizon

The venture with Mologic is only one half of what Omega is doing to contribute to the UK’s antibody testing capacity.

In what King describes as a “non-Covid world”, these ELISA-based tests are more than suitable for testing patients for certain antibodies. They are cost-effective, and can be analysed in bulk inside a laboratory.

However, with testing being more urgent than ever during this crisis, attention is also turning towards another method of antibody testing, referred to as a lateral flow test.

These kits are similar to a standard pregnancy test, in appearance at least, as they consist of little more than a test stick.

Like the ELISA-based test, they work by analysing a blood sample for antibodies — although they can be used at home by patients, and they don’t need to be sent off to a lab for results because the test stick itself provides a positive or negative reading within minutes.

As part of a biotech consortium with three other UK firms — London-based diagnostic company Abingdon Health, BBI Healthcare and CIGA Healthcare — Omega is working to develop, and ultimately mass produce one of these lateral flow testing kits.

The group is being referred to as the UK Rapid Test Consortium (UK-RTC).

Those results confirmed the two highest grade gold results to date, with 17.15 grams and 14.8 grams of gold per tonne from the Lead Trial Prospect.

The AIM-traded firm said the prospect had been expanded to the east, with a cluster of new high-grade mineralised boulders.

Nine samples returned more than five grams of gold per tonne, between 1.6 and 2.9 kilometres southeast of the Lead Trial historic workings.

It also said a Sample with 1.61% copper and 247 grams of silver per tonne, 3.2 kilometres southeast of the Lead Trial workings, suggested a possible zoned mineral system.

COVID-19 ELISA ANTIBODY LABORATORY TEST
This is the most accurate type of test to establish whether you have had the Covid-19 infection and have mounted an immune response with IgA and IgG. Testing for both IgG and IgA significantly improves sensitivity and specificity to very high levels.

IgA is the antibody that is generated in the early immune response. IgG is the more mature antibody that develops later in the response to the infection.

ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a well-established, evidence-based technique within science and medicine. Studies show this laboratory-based test is very accurate.

It is important to clarify that this is not a fingerprick test. This new test generates both qualitative as well as quantitative data. Therefore, not only does it provide accurate information about whether you are positive or negative for antibody status, it also provides information about the levels of the antibody in your blood.

This is a definitive laboratory test which requires a full 5 ml blood draw which is then sent to the laboratory for a 48 hr analysis.

Too cheap for all that gold!

Remember sol gold 2011??

Mcap ONLY 2.4million!!!

The highest-grade sample with 17.15g/t Au was from chips across a 1m wide vuggy quartz vein hosted in a 1.5m x 1.2m partially buried boulder or possible subcrop of mica schist. The sample also returned 12.15g/t Ag, 0.98% Pb and 0.97% Zn. The size of this boulder along with the clustering of high-grade float suggests that there is a very local bedrock source for this gold mineralisation. The south-eastern limit of the mineralised boulder train has distinct geochemistry with two samples returning low-grade copper (0.15% and 0.21%) and a third sample yielding high-grade copper, lead and silver with 1.61% Cu, 12.7% Pb and 247g/t Ag. This high-grade sample was a brecciated quartz cobble measuring 10cm x 15cm. Further work is required to expand the boulder train and determine the source of this mineralisation.

Erris Resources Defines Further High-Grade Gold Targets at the Loch Tay Project

Erris Resources, the European focused mineral exploration company is pleased to report new results from recent sampling on the Loch Tay gold project (the "Loch Tay Project" or the "Project") in Scotland.

Highlights:

-- Two highest grade gold results to date with 17.15g/t Au and 14.8g/t Au from Lead Trial Prospect

-- Lead Trial prospect expanded to the east with a cluster of new high-grade mineralised boulders

-- Nine samples returned >5g/t Au between 1.6km and 2.9km southeast of Lead Trial historic workings

-- Sample with 1.61% Cu and 247g/t Ag 3.2km southeast of Lead Trial workings suggests a possible zoned mineral system

Erris Resources has received results for a batch of 121 rock samples including three certified reference material samples collected in February and early March on the Company's Loch Tay Project in Scotland. Prospecting and mapping which was underway has ceased temporarily in line with recent restrictions introduced by the UK government to combat the outbreak of Covid-19. The prospecting was focused on the eastern extension of the Lead Trial prospect, the Lead Trial - Dunan valley between 1.4km and 3km southeast of the historic workings, and also on the Lead Trial-Almond valley 2-4km south from Lead Trial. Out of a total of 118 samples collected, 30 had greater than 0.1g/t Au, 13 had greater than 1g/t Au and 9 samples had between 5g/t Au and a maximum of 17.15g/t Au, the highest grade result to date on the Project. The majority of samples were float or boulder samples with 19 samples taken from outcrop or subcrop including the highest-grade sample which is thought to be subcrop.

Erris Resources CEO, David Hall commented "These are highly encouraging results and reveal a large mineralised system in the Lead Trial and adjacent areas. The current restrictions have allowed the team to review all the data and that of the Grampian Gold Belt that includes the nearby Cononish mine and the Curraghinalt deposit in Northern Ireland. We clearly see common characteristics in geochemistry, structure and mineralisation style that lead us to believe that the prospects in the Loch Tay area have the potential to host significant gold mineralisation. We look forward to being able to get back to the field so we can develop these prospects further to drill stage."
