Anatara Lifesciences (ASX: ANR) executive chair Dr David Brookes joins Small Caps to discuss the company's progress with its Stage 2 pivotal GaRP irritable bowel syndrome trial.
The company has made good strides with recruitment for the trial, with over 30 participants enrolled and approximately 20 potential participants currently in the final screening to determine suitability for enrolment.
The company has added additional sites in Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast, while it is receiving sustained levels of interest at existing sites in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.
The Stage 2 trial is designed to confirm the highly encouraging and clinically meaningful interim results from Stage 1 of the GaRP-IBS clinical trial.
GaRP is considered to have the potential to be a disease-modifying treatment that aims to positively impact a substantial proportion of the population suffering from the debilitating symptoms of digestive disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome.
Anatara recently received more than $626,000 from the Australian Taxation Office under the Federal Government’s Research and Development (R&D) tax incentive scheme for FY2024.
Those funds will support Phase 2 of the clinical trial of GaRP.

Terra Uranium (ASX: T92) executive chairman Andrew Vigar joins Small Caps to discuss the company's recent deal with ATHA Energy and its sizeable Canadian uranium portfolio.
T92 recently signed strategic agreements with ATHA Energy under which ATHA may potentially acquire up to 60% of T92’s Pasfield Lake project, while T92 may potentially acquire up to 70% of ATHA’s Spire and Horizon projects.
Terra has undertaken a successful capital raise to help support further work at the various projects.
The Spire and Horizon Projects are comprised of 12 mineral claims located on the eastern rim of the Athabasca Basin within the company’s East Rim Exploration District.
ATHA’s maiden 2023 exploration program identified approximately 144 km of cumulative conductors, demonstrating that the Spire and Horizon Projects have a high concentration of shallow prospective exploration targets for discovery of uranium mineralisation.
T92’s Pasfield Lake has been targeted using 3D inverted ZTEM conductivity and seven priority target areas have been identified within the project that require a minimum of two drill holes per target.
T92 also plans to continue to advance its HawkRock and Parker Lake projects in the Athabasca Basin and the Amer Lake project in Nunavut.

BPH Energy (ASX: BPH) managing director David Breeze joins Small Caps to discuss the continuing delays impacting the proposed testing of the PEP 11 oil and gas exploration licence off the coast of New South Wales.
At a time when the Federal government and east coast gas users are crying out for more supplies, BPH and its investee company Advent Energy keep on running into roadblocks in their plans to drill a well on a large gas target in PEP 11.
The recent NSW government move to bring in a Bill to potentially ban oil and gas activities in the waters off its coastline is the latest frustration for those looking to find gas reserves that can help overcome energy issues that have been forecast to potentially lead to major blackouts in New South Wales and Victoria.
A recent report by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) found Victorian gas production capacity has decreased, which means there will be an increasing amount of winter gas supply required from Queensland.
AEMO’s recent Victorian Gas Planning Report update indicated this will continue, with the planned closure of Longford’s gas plant 1 starting in July 2024 and Gas Plant 3 later in the decade.
To try and overcome the NSW and Victorian government's anti-gas stance, the Federal government has continually had to rely on Queensland’s LNG producers to carry the load.
A commercial discovery in PEP 11 could potentially be a game-changer for the east coast.

RareX (ASX: REE) chief executive officer James Durrant joins Small Caps to discuss the company's plan to significantly increase its niobium exposure with the acquisition of a district-scale project in Western Australia.
Already the holder of significant niobium and rare earths resources at its Cummins Range project in northern WA, RareX has now added six highly prospective tenements at the new Khaleesi project.
Khaleesi is located along strike from the rich Ponton Dyke, which has returned some of Australia’s best rare earth intersections.
RareX is already preparing to fast-track an exploration program which will target areas of elevated niobium within the project area.
Niobium is a critical metal that is considered rare and difficult to find. It is attracting growing interest around the world as new uses for its many unique capabilities are uncovered.
The global niobium market size was valued at $3.5 billion in 2022 and is tipped to reach $4.3 billion in 2028, with a CAGR of 3.78% during 2024-2030.
Niobium has been listed as a critical metal in many jurisdictions due to it being an essential component in many high-strength corrosion-resistant low-alloy (HSLA) steels and superalloys and because of its high supply risk; a single country, Brazil, is responsible for over 90% of global niobium production.
New technology uses for the metal are expected to drive market growth in coming years.

Copper Search (ASX: CUS) chief executive officer Duncan Chessell joins Small Caps to discuss the company's upcoming drill program which will test to prime prospects at the Peake project.
Using a significant library of data and in-depth studies, Copper Search will focus on the large-scale Paradise Dam and Douglas Creek copper prospects which have been prioritised from an initial 40 geophysical anomalies.
Paradise Dam is estimated to have 3km of strike and was identified from structural analysis and an induced polarisation (IP) geophysics survey completed in January 2024.
The Douglas Creek prospect is a large-scale shallow classic IOCG- style coincident “magnetics and gravity” anomaly only recently cleared for drilling after consultation with the traditional owners over the last two years.
While copper prices have slid back from record highs in recent days as traders look to grab an early profit, analysts are forecasting they may have to hit as high as A$22,500 (US$15,000) per tonne due to supply constraints.
Along with its IOCG exploration activities, Copper Search is undertaking an early-stage geochemical sampling program to assess the gold potential on its Mt Denison claim.

Anatara Lifesciences (ASX: ANR) executive chair Dr David Brookes joins Small Caps to discuss the progress of the company's trial of a potential treatment for the aptly named irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The company recently received the go-ahead to enrol patients for the second stage of its pivotal GaRP-IBS trial, which is to be conducted at 5 sites in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
Anatara has received highly encouraging findings from Stage 1 of the GaRP-IBS clinical trial and Stage 2 of the trial will progress these promising developments to further efficacy claims .
Under the trial guidelines, participants will be randomly placed into two groups to take either the optimum dose of the GaRP product selected from Stage 1 or the placebo.
It is expected that each patient will take approximately three months to complete the trial, which involves a wash-out period and then 8 weeks on the product or placebo.
While IBS is a fairly common issue, with an estimated 5% to 10% of the world's population currently be suffering from the syndrome, many of those people may well be unaware of what the issue is.
April is annual IBS Awareness Month with the aim this year to help destigmatise the different types of syndrome people may be suffering.
Approximately 1 in 5 Australians experience the unpleasant symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at some time.
