Vancouver, British Columbia – (August 30, 2022) – BioMark Diagnostics Inc. (“BioMark” or the “Company”) (CSE: BUX) (FSE: 20B) (OTCMKTS: BMKDF) an oncology-focused company with advanced near-to-market liquid biopsy diagnostic technologies announced today its financial results and operational update for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

We closed out the quarter with great milestone accomplishment that reflect the ongoing momentum we have built towards our commercialization efforts for our blood-based assay designed for early detection and screening of lung cancer. In addition, we anticipate solid progress in lab operations, expansion driven by our entry in the U.S. market, and growth with the establishment of global clinical study collaborations. These initiatives will increase BioMark’s enterprise value,” says Rashid Bux, CEO of BioMark.

Highlights of the First Quarter

  • The Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 5,062,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit for a total gross proceed of $1,265,500 to help accelerate the commercialization of its lung cancer detection technology. In addition, the company secured a non-dilutive line of credit up to C$235,000 through its Québec-based subsidiary, BioMark Diagnostic Solutions Inc. The firm intends to use the C$1.5 million to seek lab accreditation, perform an assay validation and verification study, participate in a large-scale lung cancer screening program in Quebec, and perform business development activities in the U.S.

  • BioMark announced collaborative research agreement with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York (“Icahn Mount Sinai to work on clinical studies related to early lung cancer diagnosis for at risk population using a set of proprietary plasma biomarkers and machine learning algorithms discovered and developed by BioMark. This initiative is part of BioMark’s effort to commercialize its liquid biopsy technology that leverages the latest advances in metabolomics and machine learning algorithms in the U.S. The test developed through this dynamic collaboration would offer the opportunity to screen nearly 16 million individuals eligible for lung cancer screening under current U.S guidelines could be significantly improved with a widely accessible blood-based cancer screening.



  • In June 2022, BioMark and Phytronix presented a poster at the 70th Annual Conference of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) taking place in Minneapolis from June 5-9, 2022. The abstract entitled: “Quantification of Beta-Hydroxybutyric acid and Tryptophan in plasma as metabolic biomarkers of cancer using the LDTD-MS/MS technique” illustrate how metabolomics fingerprinting has the potential to map out early biochemical changes in cancer cells and hence provides an opportunity for faster and more sensitive early diagnosis when treatment can be more effective. The poster attracted interest from many potential companies in the clinical lab space on the use of this novel integrated technology for cancer screening application.
