Invion CEO Maps Path to Peer-level Valuation as Momentum for Cancer Treatment Trials Builds

Invion (ASX:IVX) Executive Chair and CEO Thian Chew says the company sees a path to a rerate toward clinical-stage oncology peers — typically valued from AU$30 million to AU$40 million up to several hundred million — if it executes on a trio of near-term priorities: simplifying licencing, cleaning up shareholder financing structures and dialling up investor awareness.
In an interview with the Investing News Network, Chew stressed that Invion’s fundamentals are already in place: a platform therapy being tested across multiple cancers with an active clinical program, and a US Food and Drug Administration orphan drug designation potentially fast tracking approvals.
“The challenge is making sure people invest the time to understand where we're at. So if we solve all those three, even without doing any more development work, then we believe that we can get around the comparable levels of valuation, and that creates some interesting opportunities for us,” Chew said.
Invion is in the clinical trial stage for its novel PhotoDynamic Therapy for the treatment of certain types of cancer, including prostate cancer, non-melanoma skin cancer and anogenital cancer.
Chew also highlighted a strategic emphasis on unmet needs when it comes to cancer treatment for Asian populations, noting that only about 6 percent of patients involved in US drug development are Asian, while treatment costs often hover around US$300,000.
“(Asia) is our neck of the woods, and in fact, 60 percent of the world lives in our neck of the woods, and yet only 6 percent of patients for new drugs are really designed to look after what's in our backyard. So that really gives an important priority for us to look in our backyard, as opposed to trying to look beyond the Pacific Ocean.”

She loves learning about new industries, trends and terminologies, chatting with interesting people and subject matter experts, and crafting compelling stories along the way.
Vertex Minerals (ASX:VTX) is banking on its high-grade gold resource at the Reward mine to take the company to profitability, generate cashflow and fund drill programs as it begins production at the underground mine.
Executive Chairman Roger Jackson spoke with the Investing News Network about the company’s strategic position as it starts gold production. Vertex has begun developing the first two stope blocks at its Reward mine, which Jackson described as the highest-grade gold mine in Australia.
“I'd be surprised if we're not the highest-grade gold mine in Australia, given we're at around 17 grams,” Jackson said.
Jackson also noted that the company has not hedged any of its future gold production, counting on a high gold price.
“Gold prices (are) truly high enough. We'd like to take advantage of it going up, and we don't need to hedge because we've got a very high grade and a very good margin because of our reasonable all-in sustaining cost,” he said.
Jackson also outlined plans to drill further at the Reward gold mine and around the company's tenements, with 25 kilometres of high-grade targets, and the possibility of rewarding shareholders with excess cash.

Metro Mining Eyes 7 Million Tonnes of Bauxite Production by Year End
Australian bauxite producer Metro Mining (ASX:MMI) is targeting up to 7 million tonnes of production by the end of 2025, as the company executes on its plan to expand capacity and lower production costs.
“Economies of scale are by far the most important lever that we're pulling to get down to that cost number,” said Simon Wensley, Metro Mining’s managing director, in a recent Investing News Network interview, noting that optimisation and expansion will drive costs down to US$30 per dry metric tonne delivered.
“And if we can achieve that number, we will be the lowest-cost producer in that marginal market of China,” he said.
Bauxite is the primary ore used to produce aluminium, a valuable, lightweight metal essential to almost all aspects of the global energy transition. Demand for aluminium is expected to significantly increase over the next few years, driven by increased activity in the transportation, electric vehicle and clean energy sectors.
Metro Mining has already produced and sold more than 2 million tonnes of its production in the second half of 2025, Wensley said. He added that the company expects a “very strong” second half, with production volumes expected to reach between 4.5 million and 5 million tonnes by year end.
“Over the next months and the next quarter, we should see real demonstration of that expanded capacity flowing through the market," he noted.
