The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
From an internal growth perspective, we now have our own Inaphaea laboratory to develop both Val’s bio-portfolio and also to generate a regular supplementary income from 3rd parties wishing to take advantage of the lab’s state of the art facilities.
Realistically, if the deal completes as our CEO expects, the previous highs could be surpassed as, with the company’s financial position secured, Suzy could also look towards selected further inorganic growth. The distressed market creates fantastic opportunities for an acquisition as she recently showed with Imagen, snapping its assets up for a paltry £170k.
An unlikely fall back to the recent low would see a 50% fall in the SP. If the 201 deal completes as expected and we reach the previous highs….and why not, we are a significantly more advanced company than in 2021…. we would see a 550% increase in the SP.
Nothing in life comes with any guarantees but those odds look pretty attractive to me.
In the current macro environment, it is difficult to identify a potential winner amongst the debris of our markets. There may be an exception.
Valirx is currently at an SP of less than 10p. The SP reached a 2-year low of 5p just over 2 weeks ago, though it has since almost doubled. In Oct ’21, just prior to the VAL201 Letter of Intent with TheorumRX it was 55p. Delays in the deal and subsequent macroeconomic events decimated the SP. However, the company at last appears to be on the verge of finalising the agreement with TRX, led by an enthusiastic CEO who genuinely believes the 201 deal is imminent.
There is much more to Valirx than just 201 though. We have a team of experienced scientists now working from their own new laboratory with access to our own biobank of patient derived cells. This gives far greater control over costs and in-house testing means we are no longer dependent on external bio-lab availability and inevitable delays. We also have developed an amazing portfolio of compounds, any of which could see the current market cap dwarfed. Over the last 2 years we have developed relationships and collaborations with universities both in the UK and abroad.
Our main shareholder is a highly-qualified and experienced scientist, a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists who is extremely optimistic about the company’s projects and business potential. Formerly of AstraZeneca, now a successful entrepreneur in his own right, Dr Adam Hargreaves is a visiting Professor at the University of Surrey, where he lectures in pharmaceutical toxicology.
Regarding Valirx, in Dr Adam’s own words:
re The position of Valirx in the bio market: ……“look at Companies targeting niche therapy areas, such as Women's Health, and also Oncology - always Oncology. Low MCaps also attractive.”
re Val’s compound portfolio: “Bar the cost of the listing and the lab, there are 5 projects here with a perceived "value" of about 30 pence. Some are very early and some are ready to go. You only need one, and each only needs a 20% chance of success”
re Imagen acquisition: “They’ve bought a business that had an equipment asset value of probably 3+ million; a biobank with significant worth; and all the IP. For 170 grand.
Credit where credit is due. This is an excellent bit of business.”
re Our bio-lab following the acquisition: …..“It's a proper oncology CRO now, with no direct UK competition in this particular space.”
We are indeed very fortunate to have such an eminent scientist as the main shareholder and acting in an advisory capacity both in the commercial and scientific roles.
Hi PI, I have an Oppo phone with 02. Apparently it uses an operating sys called Color OS, android based.
Cheers OB but finding the link is not the problem. I obtained it from an earlier AimLower post and have downloaded it several times. In order to open it on my Chromebook I had to disable the operating system and go into Developer Mode. This basically reset the Chromebook to factory settings and I still couldn’t get in.
I also went into the link on my phone but Chrome gives a warning “not allowed to install unknown apps from this source”. If there is another way I’ll have a go but don’t want to disable chrome protection again.
Hi OB, sorry, I have tried unsuccessfully to get into the Val Telegram group. Years ago, technology and myself went our separate ways. I’m not on Twitter or Facebook. I tried to log on via my Chromebook, had to go into developer Mode……and proceeded to do a factory reset, losing all my apps. No prob but I’ll stick to the LSE forum in future. lol
It has become clear to me that Porky’s antagonistic tendencies towards Valirx and its shareholders are deep-lying. You cannot reason with a person who is so full of hatred towards the company that it has become an obsession for him. Even when the 201 deal is finalised he will continue to post as it has become his raison d’etre.
The recent rise in the SP has not helped. The desperation in his posts has become palpable. He can see his hopes of Val failure virtually extinguished and his frustration is clearly evident as the overall SH mood has become positive and optimistic.
He brags of his success as an investor yet his history proves otherwise. Even my budgie could poop on an FT share listing and have a higher ratio of success than Porky. It is bad enough that he continually spouts nonsense but he then repeats the same rubbish post after post. His ethics are non-existent as they vary according to his stake-holding or otherwise within a company.
Sadly, we are never likely to witness The Silence of the Pig. He clearly gets his kicks out of antagonising others. For that reason, I have binned him so personally will no longer respond to his baiting other than an ‘up yours!’ when the SP reaches 20p+. Hopefully I’ll be back in a couple of weeks!
To those currently not invested but considering a position in Valirx a few points to note.
Firstly, DYOR. Pay no attention to anyone on this or any forum. You do not know their agenda.
I claim to be an investor here so, if true, obviously I want the SP to rise.
Porky, a deramper, believes the SP will fall. Fair enough, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
2 years ago, he was a major holder here (see his own posts) but sold out at a decent profit to ‘invest’ in a company that subsequently folded (4D)
Ever since then he has blamed Valirx for his own stupidity.
STOP LAUGHING AT THE BACK!

The above person has posted 97 times THIS MONTH, at all times of the night, on a share he is not invested in. Stranger still, he doesn’t believe in negative posts:
"I just can't abide negativity, can't stand it at any level. I can kind of get it if its to put off investors to try and get a cheaper price, i don't agree with the practice, but i get it." (POSTED BY PORKY IN VALIRX – 30/10/21)
Pigs can be complicated guys!
For weeks he claimed a 4p headroom fundraise could be expected without warning until the CEO pointed out that, should it be required, any fundraise has first to be cleared via an EGM. The pig caught telling porkies!
While the SP was 6p he guaranteed a 1p-2p placing before Xmas (24/9/23 @ 23.19). The SP has since risen over 40%.
Obviously when you have finished laughing at our resident porcine moron, consider whether to heed his rants or do you see the potential of significant gains? I have an agenda. I am invested here!
Decision time – but don’t take to long. Only 102m shares in issue and a lot in sticky fingers. Good luck!
Just a thought Porky, since you are so certain the Val SP is destined to collapse why not take out a massive short? You could make a potential killing. What an opportunity.
In reality, we both know that will never happen because you live in fear every day of confirmation regarding VAL201 completing. The recent SP rises must have been really traumatic for you. Yet we are still near the bottom of potentially a long upward curve. Be afraid. Be very afraid!
Just realised where you are getting your 4p placing from. You are still having nightmares over 4D and have subconsciously substituted a p for a D. Sorry, I’m not taking the Diss out of a pickhead!
Will do OB. Bear with me, My great grand-daughter is stopping over tomorrow. I'll ask her how. 😁
The pig he doth protest too much!
As regards me sucking up the forum, I have 37 posts (admittedly high, but exciting times for an investor), whereas YOU have posted an incredible 80 times this month for a share you are not even invested in! Unbelievable.
Write down – ‘must engage brain before posting!’
As regards your ongoing BS. There will be NO PLACINGS without shareholders’ approval. Forget your 4p headroom placing. Can’t happen! Lies, lies & damn lies you have been peddling. LEGALLY CANNOT HAPPEN WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. Dream on!
As regards getting an apology from me….. For what? Please kiss my bottom!
Finally, you do realise you have become a laughing stock on this forum. Your bitterness towards Valirx is palpable yet it was your own stupidity that caused you to sell and move your funds to the 4D disaster. Obviously, you may have had dreams of a role within the company but the Tea Lady was never going to move on at that time!
Yet again, I remind you of your own principle:
"I just can't abide negativity, can't stand it at any level. I can kind of get it if its to put off investors to try and get a cheaper price, i don't agree with the practice, but i get it." (POSTED BY PORKY IN VALIRX – 30/10/21)
Hell hath no fury like a pig spurned!
Porky, I have never before experienced someone with such a negative mantra. I can understand you must be extremely depressed having lost a fortune on 4D and others but try and move on. You will end your days a sad and lonely old man unless you find the courage to seek help.
Confucius say: “Man who believes he is a pig .... is a swine”
A reminder:
"I just can't abide negativity, can't stand it at any level. I can kind of get it if its to put off investors to try and get a cheaper price, i don't agree with the practice, but i get it."

A toast to PM, PI, OB, HD, Ironmighty, Freddie and a host of others who have supported VAL through some very lean times but can now enjoy the rewards of success, with hopefully much more to come. Thanks also to Suzy and her team who have taken a lot of stick (deservedly so in some cases) but have persevered and about to achieve commercial success.
A special mention must go to Dr Adam as without his total confidence and unerring belief in the company’s prospects, I (and probably many others) would have sold at a loss some time ago. The Prof also supported the Board at the last AGM when many of us were baying for blood (myself included). Anyway, onwards and upwards!
At last, the moment has arrived. The well-proportioned lady smiles and savours these seconds
This is to be the performance she has waited for all her life. A tingle runs down her spine
The audience have goosebumps. Only a select few are lucky enough to be here
She draws in her breath as the whole auditorium anticipates ……….
She sounds like an incredible woman OB. Very courageous and laughing in the face of adversity. I hope you all find the strength to get through this traumatic time.
Porky, you promote yourself as some kind of financial guru yet in reality, as a stock picker you have proved extremely limited, illustrated by your history of catastrophic share failures. Given this initial inability to identify winners you then invariably resorted to ramping to try and manipulate the price. Unfortunately, although you can certainly produce the volume of posts you lack the finesse essential to the role of a successful ramper. That, and the fact you picked donkeys in the first place.
Given your massive losses it appears you have accepted defeat as an investor and instead have decided to vent your anger towards Valirx shareholders. "If I can't have it then you ain't either". Unfortunately, it seems you can't even get that right as your 1p-2p placing forecast is laughable. As per Suzy's reply to my recent query, ANY placing has to be first authorised by the shareholders! Can you imagine a placing at that level being endorsed?
On the bright side, there is still time for you to board. Everyone is welcome on the Valirx Express. It has only just left the station on a very long journey, though all the heavily discounted tickets have long since been snapped up. Yet, for some reason I get the feeling you will be trackside throwing stones and scowling at all the passengers as we hurtle past.
Gosh, Adam must be bricking himself! Porky has advised him to de-risk. Hahahahaha.
