REHOVOT, Israel , Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Aleph Farms Ltd. (the Company) and its research partner at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, have successfully cultivated the world’s first slaughter-free ribeye steak, using three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology and natural building blocks of meat – real cow cells, without genetic engineering and immortalization. With this proprietary technology developed just two short years after it unveiled the world’s first cultivated thin-cut steak in 2018 which did not utilize 3D bioprinting, the Company now has the ability to produce any type of steak and plans to expand its portfolio of quality meat products.

Unlike 3D printing technology, Aleph Farms’ 3D bioprinting technology is the printing of actual living cells that are then incubated to grow, differentiate, and interact, in order to acquire the texture and qualities of a real steak. A proprietary system, similar to the vascularization that occurs naturally in tissues, enables the perfusion of nutrients across the thicker tissue and grants the steak with the similar shape and structure of its native form as found in livestock before and during cooking.

«This breakthrough reflects an artistic expression of the scientific expertise of our team,» enthuses Didier Toubia, Co-Founder and CEO of Aleph Farms. «I am blessed to work with some of the greatest people in this industry. We recognize some consumers will crave thicker and fattier cuts of meat. This accomplishment represents our commitment to meeting our consumer’s unique preferences and taste buds, and we will continue to progressively diversify our offerings,» adds Toubia. «Additional meat designs will drive a larger impact in the mid and long term. This milestone for me marks a major leap in fulfilling our vision of leading a global food system transition toward a more sustainable, equitable and secure world.»

The cultivated ribeye steak is a thicker cut than the company’s first product – a thin-cut steak. It incorporates muscle and fat similar to its slaughtered counterpart and boasts the same organoleptic attributes of a delicious tender, juicy ribeye steak you’d buy from the butcher. «With the realization of this milestone, we have broken the barriers to introducing new levels of variety into the cultivated meat cuts we can now produce. As we look into the future of 3D bioprinting, the opportunities are endless,» says Technion Professor Shulamit Levenberg, Aleph’s Co-Founder, Chief Scientific Advisor and a major brainpower behind the company’s IP. Levenberg is considered a global leader in tissue engineering and has amassed over two decades of research in the field at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in the United States and at the Technion, in Israel. Levenberg is also the former Dean of the Biomedical Engineering Faculty at the Technion. 

Aleph Farms’ zealous plans to diversify its offering align with its mission to create a global platform for local production, leveraging a highly scalable technology to create culinary experiences that can be adapted for the different food cultures around the world.

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: TGM) (OTCQB: TGLDF) (FRA: 0702) («Trillium Gold» or the «Company») is pleased to announce that it has received a drill permit for the Gold Centre property, located immediately adjacent to, and along strike of Evolution Mining’s Campbell-Red Lake Mine («Red Lake Operations»). 

The announcement of the agreement to acquire an 80% interest in the Gold Centre property announced earlier in August 2020 has ideally positioned Trillium Gold in the heart of the highest-grade gold camp in North America which has produced more than 29.5 million ounces of gold at an average grade of more than 0.5 ounce of gold (or more than 15 grams per tonne of gold) over the past 91 years. Trillium Gold has planned a combination of new holes to target the shallower sulphide-style mineralization, similar to that of the Far East Zone at the Red Lake Operations, as well as deeper drilling holes designed to target both high grade and sulphide mineralization.  Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur this month.

Previous drilling at Gold Centre by Rupert Resources intersected Balmer volcanic rocks; favorable Balmer mafic metavolcanics hosting several gold deposits at the adjacent Red Lake Operations were identified in drill core and on surface following 2013 geological mapping and drill programs.

The discovery of the Far East Zone by Goldcorp provided further support that the southeast plunging Red Lake trend potentially extends through the Gold Centre property at depth. Underground infrastructure at the adjacent Red Lake Operations comes to within 350 metres of the Gold Centre property boundary.

Bill Paterson, Head of Exploration for Trillium Gold added, «With favourable Balmer volcanics having been intersected at depth on the Gold Centre property, similar to the adjacent two mines that have produced more than 24 million ounces at an average grade of 15 g/t Au to date, the potential for extensions of both high grade and sulphide mineralization makes Gold Centre a high priority target.»

Russell Starr, CEO of Trillium Gold commented, «You could say that this drill program represents a once in a lifetime opportunity. We have an underexplored property located just 350 metres away from one of the biggest gold orebodies, not just in Canada but the world.  The Gold Centre property exhibits the pedigree to become a world-class asset and generate substantial value to Trillium Gold’s market capitalization and shareholder base.  Few companies have the catalysts in place to reward shareholders; current drilling at Newman Todd located 18 km from Evolution Mining’s milling operations, and the contiguous high grade veins that appear to be structurally connecting our Rivard property to the Newman Todd, and now the ability to drill the continuation of a world-class mine.» 

Following the geophysical IP survey in 2013, nine anomalous trends have been interpreted on the Gold Centre property, three of which are identified on the North Grid as being strong to very strong. Two are indicative of a sulphide mineralization source potentially associated with complexly folded/faulted contact between the Huston conglomerate and Balmer mafic metavolcanic rocks. An additional similarly anomalous trend has been identified on the South Grid.

The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by William Paterson, P.Geo, Vice President of Exploration of Trillium Gold Mines and Qualified Person¸as defined by NI 43-101.
