NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (" Omineca " or the " Company ") (TSXV:OMM) is pleased to announce that, due to strong investor demand, it is increasing the size and has fully allocated its previously announced brokered private placement offering (the " Offering ") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $2.8 million of flow-through units of the Company (each, a " FT Unit ") at a price of $0.11 per FT Unit. The Offering is led by Research Capital Corporation as the sole agent and sole bookrunner (the " Agent ").

Each FT Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a " Common Share ") that will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the " Tax Act ") and one purchase warrant of the Company (a " Warrant "). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.14 for a period of 36 months from Closing (as defined herein).

The Company will grant the Agent an option (the " Agent's Option ") to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15% of the number of FT Units by giving written notice of the exercise of the Agent's Option, or a part thereof, to the Company at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date. If the Agent's Option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company will be approximately $3.22 million.

The Offering will be conducted pursuant to the amendments to National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (" NI 45-106 ") set forth in Part 5A thereof (the " Listed Issuer Financing Exemption ") to purchasers resident in Canada, except Québec. The FT Units offered under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The gross proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used for exploration expenses on the Company's Wingdam gold project in British Columbia as Canadian exploration expenses as defined in paragraph (f) of the definition of "Canadian exploration expense" in subsection 66.1(6) of the Tax Act and "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (the " Qualifying Expenditures "), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2024 and renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023 to the initial purchasers of FT Units.

The Offering is anticipated to close on or about March 22, 2023 (" Closing "), or such later date as the Company may determine. The Closing is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Omineca advises that the insiders of the company may participate in the Offering, which will be completed pursuant to available related party exemptions under Multilateral Instrument 61-101.

At Closing, the Company will pay to the Agent a 6.5% cash commission based on the aggregate gross proceeds arising from the Offering (including in respect of any exercise of the Agent's Option). The Company will also grant the Agent, on the date of Closing, non-transferable broker warrants (the " Broker Warrants ") equal to 6.5% of the total number of FT Units sold pursuant to the Offering (including in respect of any exercise of the Agent's Option). Each Broker Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one unit of the Company (comprised of a Common Share and a Warrant) at an exercise price of $0.11 per unit for a period of 36 months following the Closing.

Betterlife Publishes Promising Results from a Study Titled "A Non-Hallucinogenic LSD Analog With Therapeutic Potential For Mood Disorders"

BetterLife Pharma Inc. ("BetterLife" or the "Company") (CSE: BETR  OTCQB: BETRF FRA: NPAU ), an emerging biotech company focused on the development and commercialization of cutting-edge treatments for mental disorders, is pleased to announce that findings from a study on its lead candidate BETR-001 (2-bromo-LSD) titled "A Non-Hallucinogenic LSD Analog With Therapeutic Potential For Mood Disorders" has been published in the peer-reviewed journal of Cell Report .

The study expands on previously reported positive data by performing an extensive pharmacological characterization of BETR-001 in comparison with LSD. The results show distinct central nervous system aminergic receptors pharmacological differences between BETR-001 versus LSD. These include 5-HT2A receptor partial agonism and lack of psychedelic-like effects in vivo for BETR-001 in contrast to LSD. Further, the study demonstrates lack of 5-HT2B agonism for BETR-001 in contrast to the 5-HTB agonism caused by LSD, and therefore a projected safer cardiovascular profile for BETR-001. Finally, the study shows BETR-001 induces neuroplasticity both in vitro and in vivo while promoting active coping behavior in mouse models of depression and anxiety.

Pfizer's Sasanlimab Combination Significantly Improves Event-Free Survival in BCG-Naïve, High-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

  • Pivotal Phase 3 CREST trial results show a 32% reduction in the risk of disease-related events, including high-grade disease recurrence or progression, with sasanlimab in combination with standard of care (SOC) Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) regimen compared to SOC alone
  • Sasanlimab, a subcutaneously administered PD-1 inhibitor, in combination with BCG represents the first potential treatment advancement for BCG-naïve, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in more than 30 years
  • Results have been shared with global health authorities to support potential regulatory filings

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced results from the pivotal Phase 3 CREST trial of sasanlimab, an investigational anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), in combination with standard of care (SOC) Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) as induction therapy with or without maintenance in patients with BCG-naïve, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The trial met its primary endpoint of event-free survival (EFS) by investigator assessment, demonstrating a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement with sasanlimab in combination with BCG (induction and maintenance) as compared to BCG alone (induction and maintenance): Hazard Ratio (HR) of 0.68; 95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.49-0.94; 2-sided p=0.019; median EFS not yet reached. These findings show a 32% reduction in risk of disease-related events, including high-grade disease recurrence or progression, with the sasanlimab combination regimen as compared with SOC treatment alone. Pre-specified subgroup analyses for patients harboring higher risk disease showed consistent benefit with EFS HR of 0.63 (0.41, 0.96) for T1 disease, and EFS HR 0.53 (0.29, 0.98) for those with CIS disease.

Pfizer Provides Update on Oral GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Danuglipron

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced the decision to discontinue development of danuglipron (PF-06882961), an oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which was being investigated for chronic weight management.

Pfizer's dose-optimization studies of once-daily formulations of danuglipron ( NCT06567327 and NCT06568731 ) met key pharmacokinetic objectives and confirmed a formulation and dose with the potential to deliver a competitive efficacy and tolerability profile in Phase 3 testing, based on earlier studies of twice-daily danuglipron. While the overall frequency of liver enzyme elevations across the over 1,400 participant safety database of danuglipron is in-line with approved agents in the class, a single asymptomatic participant in one of the dose-optimization studies experienced potential drug-induced liver injury which resolved after discontinuation of danuglipron. After a review of the totality of information, including all clinical data generated to date for danuglipron and recent input from regulators, Pfizer has decided to discontinue development of the molecule.
