The Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE" or "the Exchange") today announced market statistics for October 2024.
October 2024 Operating Statistics
"Trading volume on the Canadian Securities Exchange was higher in October compared to any other month in more than a year, with the number of trades also up significantly from recent months," said Richard Carleton, CEO of the CSE. "We are encouraged to see improving liquidity for securities of emerging companies, and are optimistic that they will draw increased investor interest in the current environment of declining interest rates. October also featured the largest mining financing for a CSE issuer in some time, as Asante Gold Corporation raised US$25 million in the first stage of a much larger US$100 million transaction."
What's On at the CSE
After a successful in-person debut in 2023, the CSE is pleased to be presenting its 2024 Summit on Responsible Investment ("SoRI") as an online series. It is designed to provide the investment community with insights and information on an issue of major relevance to today's financial markets. A series of SoRI videos are currently available, including interviews with the CEOs of First Tellurium Corp. (FTEL) and BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (BHSC). New content will continue to be introduced in the days ahead.
The November 2024 issue of Canadian Securities Exchange Magazine has been published, and in conjunction with SoRI, it is focused on the Cleantech sector. The issue highlights six innovative, CSE-listed Cleantech companies that are dedicated to both driving shareholder value and improving the wellbeing of people and the planet: Beyond Oil Ltd. (BOIL), Blusky Carbon Inc. (BSKY), Hybrid Power Solutions Inc. (HPSS), NU E Power Corp. (NUE), Replenish Nutrients Holding Corp. (ERTH), and SHARC International Systems Inc. (SHRC). In addition, the issue features special content marking the CSE's 20th anniversary, including a Q&A with Richard Carleton and a roundtable interview with other members of the executive team. The magazine is free to read online and can be viewed here.
Richard Carleton and Tracey Stern, Chief Legal Officer of the CSE, will attend the 63rd General Assembly and Annual Meeting of the World Federation of Exchanges in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on November 19-21. In addition to participating in the working sessions of the organization, Mr. Carleton will speak on a panel alongside colleagues from Ghana, Saudi Arabia and Mexico titled Beyond the Monopoly Myth: Rethinking Competition in Financial Markets.
The CSE team will be in London, England for two mining conferences in early December. First is the Northern Miner's International Metals Symposium on December 1-2. The list of presenters includes senior executives from leading junior and mid-tier mining companies, and several of the industry's most recognized thought leaders. The CSE is also a sponsor of this conference.
Right after that is Mines and Money @ Resourcing Tomorrow on December 3-5. It features more than 100 mining companies, 500 investors and 2,000 attendees arriving from more than 100 countries. The event will include the popular Mining Spotlights, in which executives make pitches to a panel of expert investors. The participating CSE-listed companies include Asante Gold Corporation (ASE), Athena Gold Corporation (ATHA), Exploits Discovery Corp. (NFLD), Forte Minerals Corp. (CUAU), Panther Minerals Inc. (PURR), Peloton Minerals Corporation (PMC), and Renforth Resources Inc. (RFR).
The biggest cannabis business event of the year is always MJBizCon, and the CSE is looking forward to returning to Las Vegas for this conference on December 3-6. More than 30,000 people are expected to attend the show, including cultivators, manufacturers, retailers, executives, investors and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore all of the pressing issues impacting the industry. To prepare for MJBizCon, check out the July 2024 issue of Canadian Securities Exchange Magazine, which is dedicated to the cannabis industry and examines challenges and opportunities facing the rapidly-evolving sector.

(CSE: SONA) (OTCQB: SNANF) (the "Company", "Sona") is pleased to announce that its Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Len Pagliaro, has been invited to showcase Sona's developing Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy ("THT") cancer treatment today at the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory ("NCL"). Sona will be one of six commercial and academic collaborators to present its research at the NCL's 20th anniversary "Advancing Medical Applications of Cancer Nanotechnology" symposium. Sona's subsidiary was previously selected for the NCL Assay Cascade Program, the premier program in the World for bringing nanomaterials through critical preclinical stages and facilitating regulatory review, in which Sona's materials were assessed for biocompatibility. The NCL was established by the National Cancer Institute ("NCI") to accelerate the progress of nanomedicine by providing preclinical characterization and safety testing of nanoparticles. The NCL is a collaborative effort between NCI, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The Company is also pleased to provide an update on the status of its current operating activities, notably the development of its Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy which uses the Company's patented, biocompatible gold nanorods ("GNRs") to act as an immune stimulator for the treatment of certain solid cancers.
In addition to closing an over-subscribed $3.1 million equity financing in September, the Company has completed pilot safety and biocompatibility feasibility studies conducted by a global contract research organization ("CRO") and a preclinical, GLP-compliant translational research institute, respectively, in the United States. Both preclinical studies provided initial data which determine that the Company's proprietary and uniquely biocompatible GNRs are non-toxic, safe and the GNRs clear the body efficiently. Based on the success of these two studies, the Company has commissioned a full dose-escalation study which is required to inform and support the study protocol for a first-in-human early feasibility study ("EFS") being pursued by the Company. The Company will provide updates as to the status of its progress towards an EFS study as significant milestones are achieved.
Also, the previously announced results from the Company's melanoma and triple negative breast cancer pre-clinical studies have now been submitted for peer review and consideration for publishing in a scientific journal. The working title for the paper, "Targeted Intra-tumoral Hyperthermia using Sona Nanotech's Uniquely Biocompatible Gold Nanorods Induces a Strong Immunogenic Cell Death Response in Two Immunogenically 'Cold' Tumor Models" highlights the unique mechanism of action of our novel immunotherapy. Work on a pre-clinical study of THT for a colorectal cancer model continues at Dalhousie University with results expected later in November.
Sona Nanotech CEO, David Regan commented, "Sona's preclinical efficacy data for its THT is encouraging in its ability to modify cancers and activate an immune response that significantly reduces not only treated tumors but also untreated metastases. These promising data compel us to pursue an aggressive path towards securing approvals to treat those suffering from late-stage solid cancers that have been unresponsive to current treatment regimens. With supportive initial preclinical safety data from world class CRO partners now in-hand, Sona is pursuing an early feasibility study to assess THT's safety and efficacy in humans in 2025."

About Sona Nanotech Inc.
Sona Nanotech, a nanotechnology life sciences company, is developing Targeted Hyperthermia™, a photothermal cancer therapy, which uses therapeutic heat to treat solid cancer tumors. The heat is delivered to tumors by infrared light that is absorbed by Sona's gold nanorods in the tumor and re-emitted as heat. Therapeutic heat (42-48°C) stimulates the immune system, shrinks tumors, inactivates cancer stem cells, and increases tumor perfusion - thus enabling drugs to reach all tumor compartments more effectively. The size, shape, and surface chemistry of the nanorods target the leaky vasculature of solid tumors, and the selective thermal sensitivity of tumor tissue enables the therapy to deliver clean margins. Targeted Hyperthermia promises to be safe, effective, minimally invasive, competitive in cost, and a valuable adjunct to drug therapy and other cancer treatments.
Sona has developed multiple proprietary methods for the manufacture of gold nanoparticles which it uses for the development of both cancer therapies and diagnostic testing platforms. Sona Nanotech's gold nanorod particles are cetyltrimethylammonium ("CTAB") free, eliminating the toxicity risks associated with the use of other gold nanorod technologies in medical applications. It is expected that Sona's gold nanotechnologies may be adapted for use in applications, as a safe and effective delivery system for multiple medical treatments, subject to the approval of various regulatory boards, including Health Canada and the FDA.
