HLCS, Helicos BioSciences Corporation

HLCS, a life sciences company, focuses on the genetic analysis technologies for the research, drug discovery, and clinical diagnostics markets primarily in the United States.

** HLCS reported a publication entitled “Amplification-free digital gene expression profiling from minute cell quantities” appearing on line in Nature Methods co-authored by Dr. Daniel A. Haber and colleagues from Massachusetts General Hospital. The paper demonstrates the quantitative capabilities of HLCS ’ single-molecule sequencing technology and its potential to reveal important genomic differences when minimal numbers of cells are available for analysis.

In this study, single RNA molecules extracted from cell lysates of malignant and nonmalignant mouse and human cells were quantitated following direct capture, first strand cDNA synthesis and sequencing directly on the HeliScope Flow Cell surface. The experimental model systems demonstrate the ability to work with small cell numbers to accurately and reproducibly identify differentially expressed genes in closely related cell types.

The joint research also demonstrated the ability to apply the same methodology to RNA isolated from formal-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues providing a potential new method for studying stored clinical specimens.

ORFG, Orofino Gold Corp., ORFG.PK

ORFG has gone where other mining companies have gone before, Colombia, and Colombia may just be the new California.

Mining is being promoted by the Colombian Government because mining has the potential to employ a lot of people.

Government efforts to expand mining in Colombia were needed to encourage private sector investment. The government set a policy of developing infrastructure (roads, electricity, and communications), providing technical assistance, and encouraging sound credit and legal policies to minimize problems with land titling.

Colombia has since made major improvements to its infrastructure. The deregulation process that began in the early 1990’s emphasized modernizing infrastructure in specific areas that are key to attaining global competitiveness.

Through joint ventures and the promotion of small mining companies, the mining sector can contribute more to national employment, income, and wealth.

Colombia is a free market economy with major commercial and investment ties to the United States. Transition from a highly regulated economy has been underway for more than 15 years with tariff reductions, financial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises and adoption of a more liberal foreign exchange rate. These policies eased import restrictions and opened most sectors to foreign investment.

Foreign investors are welcomed as technology, management expertise, access to oversees markets, and finance, can be brought to the market Colombia’s economy is heavily dependent upon its natural resources. Main exports include its well known coffee, petroleum and petroleum products, emeralds, fruits, flowers, iron and steel, textiles and apparel.

Colombia has not suffered any dramatic economic collapses. Prudent fiscal policies are maintained and economic reforms including tax; pension and budget reforms are pursued.

The sustained growth of the Colombian economy can be attributed to an increase in domestic security, the policies of keeping inflation low and maintaining a stable currency (the Colombian peso), petroleum price increases and an increase in exports to neighboring countries and the United States as a result of trade liberalization.

It appears that this is Colombia’s time, and ORFG may be in the right place at the right time.

ORFG has several Gold development properties in Colombia, a current hot spot of gold production in the world markets.

At the ORFG’s Senderos de Oro project, government recorded Gold production from the area has been significant with production records between 1987 to present of over 1,300,000 ounces. All production has been Artisanal (small miners) in nature and production continues to this day.

With the frequent occurrence of the very high grade gold vein systems in the central area of ORFG’s Senderos de Oro project and with several small scale grinding and amalgamation mills in-place ORFG is planning to design a central processing and recovery facility that is modular in design (each additional module added creates 10,000 ounces of annual production) and will be capable of processing enough high grade material to produce up to 120,000 ounces of gold annually while ORFG continues to explore further the Primary Porphyry Target which is the bulk minable gold/copper porphyry systems.

ORFG has reviewed several engineering and design firms with gold production facilities design and operational experience and is currently creating a short list prior to engaging the design team.

ORFG intends to continue the relationships currently enjoyed with all government agencies, the local communities, as well as current production teams and will involve these groups in all major processing and production planning decisions.
