The deal values ESS at ~$136m, or 50c per share –a 44.9% premium to the last closing price.

Australian medical technology company LBT Innovations (ASX:LBT) has been engaged by global biopharma AstraZeneca for the full product development for its APAS Pharma product.

And helium company Grand Gulf Energy (ASX:GGE) has expanded an existing Gas Sales & Processing Agreement (GSPA) with Paradox Resources to include the Jesse-2 well.

Paradox is owner of the advanced Lisbon helium processing plant, 20 miles north of GGE’s Red helium project.

“The expansion of the offtake agreement with Paradox continues the relationship with a proven helium refiner and seller with deep helium processing and marketing experience,” GGE managing director Dane Lance says.

“Grand Gulf is well placed to capitalise on one of the world’s most critically scare commodities with the ability to quickly monetise a commercial well with minimal time and cost.”
