The Board of BPH Global Ltd (ASX: BP8) (Company), is pleased to advise the re-appointment of Gaia Mariculture Pte Ltd (Gaia Mariculture) as the manager of the Company’s research and development programs (R&D Programs). Pursuant to the renewed consulting agreement, the Company’s wholly owned, Singapore-based subsidiary Stemcell United Pte Ltd (BP8 Singapore) has engaged Gaia Mariculture as a to manage the BP8 Group’s R&D Programs (Consulting Agreement).


Highlights

  • Blockchain technology: focus on sourcing and deployment of blockchain technology to facilitate:
    • biological integrity and sustainability of seaweed cultivation and processing; and
    • the development of an accreditation methodology for the issue of blue carbon credits
  • Artificial Intelligence technology (AI): Continued focus on AI to enhance critical mineral and nutraceutical identification and extraction
  • Essential Mineral and Nutraceutical extraction: Fermentation and Phycomining techniques to unlock essential minerals and nutraceuticals
  • Biohydrogen Extraction: Production of biohydrogen/biogases as a natural by-product of fermentation
  • Commercialisation: commercialisation opportunities to drive R&D strategies
  • Consultancy Agreement Renewed: two (2) year agreement with Gaia Mariculture
  • Expanded R&D role: Gaia to conduct R&D and to oversee out-sourced R&D projects

Consulting Agreement

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Gaia Mariculture will provide:

  • Phycomining to unlock nutraceuticals and critical minerals: conduct of a feasibility study on the efficacy of deploying Phycomining techniques (the use of aquatic hyperaccumulator biomasses to bioaccumulate higher concentrations of metals in seaweed cultivated in seawater) to:
    • determine whether levels of metals that are found in seaweed occur in natural quantities or in unnaturally high concentrations when the seaweed is cultivated in polluted waters; and
    • develop techniques to recover valuable metals from the seaweed biomass;
  • AI Genetic Algorithm: continued development of an AI generated genetic algorithm to enable machine determination of variations in seaweed genomes to be applied to seaweed breeding and gene editing;
  • AI-enhanced extraction: development and deployment of AI driven imaging technology to further enhance essential mineral identification and isolation so as to increase the effectiveness of phyto-hydrometallurgical techniques to extract essential minerals from seaweed; and
