"Grinnell College is located on 120 acres with miles of buried telecom infrastructure critical to operations. To protect and maintain our expanding and valued buried infrastructure, we realized the need for precise maps and accurate locates. We selected ProStar's PointMan platform from our search for a GIS mapping platform that was easy to adopt, met our precision requirements for reference and locating needs, and flexibility for future GIS needs," said David Ellis, Director of Network Services, Grinnell College.

"Not knowing the precise location of underground infrastructure is becoming a growing concern. After all, it is not only a major risk to the safety of the public, the environment but also students and facility members on campuses which are small cities."

Sona Nanotech's THT Cancer Studies Demonstrates Strong Efficacy in Third Preclinical Study and Plans for First-in-human Early Feasibility Study

Sona Nanotech's THT Cancer Studies Demonstrates Strong Efficacy in Third Preclinical Study and Plans for First-in-human Early Feasibility Study

Sona Nanotech Inc. (CSE: SONA) (OTCQB: SNANF) (the "Company", "Sona") announces results from its most recent preclinical study of its Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy ("THT") which uses the Company's patented, biocompatible gold nanorods ("GNRs") to treat certain solid cancer tumors, shrinking them and acting as an immune stimulator. Building on its success in melanoma and breast cancer studies, the Company's third preclinical efficacy study was conducted in an immunologically 'cold' colorectal cancer model ("CT26"), a model that represents the majority of human colon cancers, which do not typically respond to current standard of care immunotherapies.

In this preliminary study, whereas no mice that were given standard immunotherapy alone showed any response, 100% of mice in the THT treatment group responded to the same immunotherapy with 50% (4 out of 8) of those tumors eliminated within 12 days of treatment, as shown by the green line in Figure 1, below.
