MINESEEKER TO SUPPLY NEW COST EFFECTIVE AIDS TESTS TO AFRICA
The Mineseeker Foundation has reached an agreement with Calypte, a US pharmaceutical company, to purchase a new aids test product called Aware™, that is based on a saliva swab that can be used in the field by non-medical personnel.
The Foundation will fund the purchase of 1 million swabs, with an option on a further 4 million units. The swabs, now approved by the South African Health Authorities, has been trialled in Kenya and has proved to be as effective as leading blood test products - but without the necessity of a costly, medically supervised support structure.
The Mineseeker Foundation is primarily involved with the removal of land mines, but the Foundations ‘Sole of Africa’s’ initiative, now being launched in Mozambique, includes returning mine free land back to agriculture and an educational and empowerment programme that trains local people to farm. They also support vocational training for people unable to find work, including land mine and aids victims.
Mike Kendrick, Founder of Mineseeker said today. “While the primary objective of Mineseeker is the eradication of land mines, we are also committed to the regeneration of the local communities. Without that the clearance of mines is only part of the answer. Land will be returned to the people to grow food and a foster management programme installed to help re-establish themselves. This will mean growing good quality crops that will lift the natural immunity system – particularly helping aids sufferers. The introduction of the Aware product will help re-build the confidence of these communities.”
The Mineseeker Foundation Patrons include Nelson Mandela, Sir Richard Branson, Queen Noor of Jordon, Graca Machel, international businessman John Paul DeJoria and the actor Brad Pitt. The Foundation is supported by other leading NGOs including Feed the Children, The International Youth Foundation and The Salvation Army. The test packs will be donated to NGOs for distribution in the field or sold at cost.
Nelson Mandela said: “As a patron of Mineseeker, I totally support the aids test initiative. The tests will remove the fear of many people who believe they may be infected and who are nervous about blood testing. Fear is a terrible affliction, whether it is the fear of treading on a mine or the fear not knowing if you are HIV positive.”
John Paul DeJoria added “As a Patron of Mineseeker, it is my honour to be able to thank all the people and companies that are coming together in this initiative to help conquer AIDS in Africa”.

Notes to editors:
Further details on CalypteÆ Aware™
1 The CalypteÆ Aware™ HIV-1/2 OMT test is a single use, qualitative, visually read, in vitro immunoassay for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Type 2 (HIV-2) in human oral mucosal transudate specimens. It is intended for use as a point-of-care aid in the clinical diagnosis of HIV infection. This test may be used as a component of a multi-test rapid algorithm in conjunction with other approved HIV antibody assays.
2 A total of 1740 OMT specimens were tested using the CalypteÆ Aware™ HIV-1/2 OMT assay and various reference assays. In these studies, specificity was 99.6% (258/259) and sensitivity was 99.9% (1480/1481).
Further details on the Mineseeker Foundation
The Mineseeker Foundation is a not for profit organisation established to:
1 Promote landmine-removal action
2 Improve technology in mine action
3 Develop an effective landmine detection system, mounted on an airship
4 Provide a significant tool in the humanitarian de-mining effort to provide fast, accurate minefield mapping, allowing conventional de-mining to be concentrated where it is needed
5 Enable immediate release of the estimated 80% of land currently classified as mined, but which in fact contains no mines or other unexploded ordnance
6 Release wrongly classified land through survey in order to encourage economic growth and stability
7 Landmines are the scourge of the modern world. Whole populations are denied land for agriculture, access to water, health care and communications.
In more than 70 countries landmines still threaten life and limb, and promote fear. The economic cost and social costs are incalculable. The MINESEEKER Airship is fitted with unique ground penetrating radar able to detect landmines, both plastic and metal infinitely faster, more safely and more cost effectively than any other current detection method. The scanning capacity of MINESEEKER Airship is 100 square metres per second (compared with manual de-mining of 40 metres per day). The UN estimate that 80% of the area currently classified as mined contains no mines and could be released through technical survey.

OraSure Shares Rise After New York Signs $6 Million HIV Test Order; Analyst Upgrades Stock
NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of OraSure Technologies Inc. surged Tuesday after New York City's health department agreed to buy $6 million in quick tests for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
OraSure shares rose 62 cents, or 7.2 percent, to $9.28 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq at above average volume. The stock rose 4 percent Monday on news that Washington, D.C.'s health department agreed to buy the company's product to test its more than 500,000 residents for HIV by 2007. Its shares have traded between $7.74 and $14.14 in the past 52 weeks.
The multiyear New York agreement calls for OraSure to supply OraQuick Advance rapid antibody tests, which can use saliva collected with a swab to detect the presence of both HIV-1 and HIV-2 in 20 minutes.
Montgomery & Co. analyst Wade H. King upgraded OraSure to a "Buy" from a "Hold," and fixed a price target of $11.
King had speculated that the scheduling of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to ring the Nasdaq's opening bell on Tuesday along with Doug Michels, OraSure's chief executive, indicated a deal similar to Washington's in the works, despite Bloomberg's last-minute cancellation.
The analyst said he expects Washington to order 80,000 OraQuick tests in 2006 and more than 400,000 in 2007.
80,000 OraQuick tests = 6 Mil. $
400,000 in 2007 = 30 Mil. $
Calypte`s Oral Test :
1.000.000 Aware OMT Test = ? Mil. $
4.000.000 Aware OMT Test = ? Mil. $
China Order Aware OMT Test ?

MedMira builds team to boost slumping sales
By BRUCE ERSKINE Business Reporter
MedMira Inc. of Halifax is expanding its workforce in the wake of news that the biomedical company lost $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2006. "The results for the quarter are very disappointing for management and our shareholders," MedMira chairman and CEO Stephen Sham said in a release Wednesday. "We are restructuring and increasing our sales and marketing team with the objective of increasing short- and mid-term revenues." MedMira reported a $2.2 million (four cents a share) third-quarter loss on sales of $100,000, compared to a loss of $1.3 million (three cents a share) on sales of $598,000 in the same period last year. For the nine months ended April 30, MedMira recorded a net loss of $5.1 million (11 cents a share) on sales of $1.7 million, compared to a loss of $3.9 million (nine cents a share) on sales of $2.3 million for the same period the previous year. The company, which makes rapid diagnostic tests for HIV and hepatitis that are used in hospitals and clinics and have been approved for sale in the United States and China, announced Thursday it has hired two new regional account managers, Pierre Sevigny and Jaime Carreno, to cultivate the Europe/Middle East and Latin American markets. "We are very pleased to have these individuals on board and dedicated to leveraging sales opportunities in these important regions," MedMira president and COO Hermes Chan said in a release Thursday. MedMira has contracted a consulting group, MediServe Inc., to head its sales and marketing activities in Asia and has hired Richard Van Maanen, a biotechnology consultant and a former diagnostics sales and marketing executive, to increase its profile with international agencies and non-government organizations in Africa and other developing nations.
