RED BANK, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Tharimmune, Inc. (Nasdaq:THAR) (“Tharimmune” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing innovative therapeutic candidates for inflammation, immunology, and unmet medical needs announced positive results from a recent pharmacokinetic (PK) simulation analysis of its lead clinical asset, TH104, a buccal film formulation of nalmefene. The results reinforce the potential of TH104 as a prophylactic countermeasure for military personnel and chemical incident responders who may be exposed to high-potency opioids, including weaponized fentanyl and its analogues.
Fentanyl and related compounds pose national security threats due to their high potency and the potential for a devastating mass casualty incident if weaponized. There is a critical need for countermeasures that can be administered proactively, prior to potential exposure, to prevent or mitigate the rapid onset of respiratory and nervous system depression from these potent agents.
The analysis used pharmacokinetic simulations of TH104 as prophylaxis for respiratory depression in exposure to synthetic opioids based on data from the literature. The concentrations of TH104 necessary to block fentanyl respiratory depression were derived and simulations involved data from our Phase 1 study to generate concentration time curves above these concentrations. Using a conservative nalmefene concentration target – a threshold effect, (i.e. the protection from respiratory depression) was found to be achieved in approximately 30 minutes post dose and shown to maintain above this protection for about 24 hours. This is a potential key superiority of TH104 compared to currently available options (e.g. naloxone injection products). While naloxone injection can be used as a life-saving rescue medication, its effect is relatively short-lived, often lasting approximately 30-90 minutes. The prolonged prophylactic window of TH104 could be crucial in high-risk environments where exposure is a constant threat and immediate access to medical personnel may be limited. The ability of TH104 to potentially provide sustained protection is a significant advancement in prophylactic care against these potent agents.
The buccal film delivery of TH104 is designed as a non-injectable, rapid absorption and convenient-to-use administration, which may be advantageous for first responders who may be wearing full protective gear. The recent positive feedback earlier this year from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirming that no additional clinical trials appear necessary prior to a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) submission provides a path forward. Tharimmune is dedicated to advancing TH-104 to provide a potentially effective and patient-friendly treatment as an option for those in need, beginning with its critical role in national security.
About Tharimmune, Inc.
Tharimmune is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a diverse portfolio of therapeutic candidates in immunology, inflammation and oncology.

New IRS enforcement efforts highlight risks for self-employed landscapers and lawn care crews who often rely on cash payments.
IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Landscapers and lawn care workers may soon find themselves facing heightened IRS scrutiny, according to tax relief firm Clear Start Tax. With many in the industry relying on cash payments and seasonal work, experts warn that unreported income could lead to unexpected tax bills, penalties, or even audits.
“The landscaping and lawn care industry is built on hard work, but it’s also one where cash payments are common,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “What seems like a simple arrangement can actually create significant risk if income isn’t reported properly. The IRS has made it clear they’re stepping up enforcement in industries where cash is a big part of day-to-day business.”
Tax professionals note that many independent contractors in lawn care – from solo operators to small crews – often underestimate their tax liability. Without withholding or employer contributions, self-employed workers can fall behind quickly.
“Missing quarterly tax payments or failing to keep accurate records can snowball into debt that’s very difficult to recover from,” the spokesperson added. “We’re seeing more landscapers come to us with multiple years of unfiled returns or debts they didn’t realize had grown so large.”
Clear Start Tax advises landscapers and lawn care workers to keep detailed records of all payments, even small cash jobs, and to file returns on time to avoid penalties. For those who already owe back taxes, programs such as the IRS Fresh Start Initiative may provide relief.
By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

Strategic JV Expands ESGold Portfolio with Second Permitted Project Aimed at Cash Flow, Growth and Remediation in South America
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / ESGold Corp. (“ESGold” or the “Company“) (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) announced today that it has entered into a binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Planta Magdalena S.A.S. (“Planta”), a Colombian corporation, to form a joint venture for the development and reprocessing of fully permitted, gold- and silver-bearing tailings in the Department of Bolívar, Colombia.
This strategic move represents a significant step in ESGold’s plan to expand its tailings-to-cash-flow model beyond Québec, applying modern, environmentally responsible processing to legacy tailings in one of South America’s most prolific gold-producing regions. The Company aims to generate high-margin, scalable production while delivering environmental remediation benefits and positioning itself for further growth across the Americas.
Deal Highlights
Structure & Consideration: ESGold will contribute C$1.5 million for a 50% JV interest and will hold a first right of refusal to purchase the remaining 50% within 12 months at fair market value determined by independent third-party appraisal.
Permitting: Planta advises that it holds permits to commence tailings production. ESGold will conduct independent verification of all permits and licences as part of its due diligence prior to entering into a definitive agreement.
Strategic Rationale: The Bolívar JV is designed to replicate ESGold’s low-capex, high-margin tailings model developed at Montauban (Québec), while remediating legacy mine sites and improving environmental outcomes for local communities.
Fast-Track Workplan: Preliminary due-diligence fire-assay sampling of tailings (27 samples) has been completed. Concentrate tests on the assayed tailings are being finalized at Montauban and will be shipped to ACTLABS in Val-d’Or for analysis. On-site geological and metallurgical visits are being scheduled to finalize the proposed circuit and recovery parameters.
Path to Production: Subject to a definitive agreement, verification, and commissioning, the Company’s objective is to add a second high-margin operation alongside Montauban, with a target start-up in 2026.
“Bolívar has a long and storied history as one of Colombia’s most prolific gold-producing regions, with decades of artisanal and small-scale mining contributing significantly to the country’s overall output,” said Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold. “The region still processes hundreds of thousands of tonnes of ore annually, yet much of it is handled using rudimentary mercury amalgamation methods that leave behind a substantial amount of gold and silver in the tailings. This creates an immense opportunity for ESGold to apply modern, environmentally responsible recovery technology that can significantly improve yields while remediating legacy mine sites. The early validation from our due-diligence sampling is highly encouraging, and it underscores the scalability of our tailings-to-cash-flow model as we aim to build a second high-margin operation in one of the most prolific gold-bearing districts in all South America.”
Initial Due-Diligence Sampling
As part of joint ESGold-Planta due diligence, 27 tailings samples were collected across the tailings sector and submitted to ACTLABS. Highlights (sample IDs as received) include:
SS806: 42.683 g/t Au
SS816: 19.284 g/t Au
SS817: 18.332 g/t Au
SS825: 10.787 g/t Au
In total, 8 of 27 samples assayed above 5 g/t Au, including several high-grade results; multiple samples also returned notable silver values exceeding 190 g/t Ag.
Cautionary Note: The samples referenced above are selective in nature, were collected for due-diligence screening, and may not be representative of the tailings as a whole. No mineral resource or reserve is being declared. Additional systematic sampling, QA/QC, and metallurgical test work are required to determine grade continuity, recoveries, and economic parameters. Results will be disclosed following Qualified Person (QP) review.
ESGold is finalizing bulk-sample concentrate tests to confirm recovery rates for the proposed mining circuit. Testing will be completed at the Company’s Montauban facilities with confirmed assays at ACTLABS in Québec on an expedited basis.
Why Bolívar, Colombia
The Department of Bolívar is recognized as one of Colombia’s most prolific gold-producing regions, with a mining tradition that spans centuries. Today, artisanal and small-scale miners in the region collectively process an estimated 300,000 tonnes of ore annually, producing approximately 128,000 ounces of gold. Despite this significant output, much of the material is processed using rudimentary mercury amalgamation methods, which typically recover less than half of the contained gold and silver.
This long-standing reliance on outdated technology leaves a substantial portion of precious metals unrecovered in the tailings. Modern, mercury-free processing techniques can materially improve recovery rates while eliminating the environmental harm caused by mercury. The combination of a large, continuous feed of tailings, a skilled local workforce, and the region’s established mining infrastructure creates a unique opportunity to launch a high-margin, environmentally responsible operation with near-term scalability potential.
By starting in Bolívar, ESGold positions itself to demonstrate the economic advantages of its tailings-to-cash flow model in one of South America’s most prolific gold-bearing districts, while delivering tangible environmental remediation benefits to local communities.
“The Bolívar opportunity perfectly fits our vision for ESGold’s growth,” said Paul Mastantuono, Chairman and COO. “This is a permitted project in one of South America’s most prolific gold districts, with the potential to quickly generate high-margin cash flow using our modern, environmentally responsible processing. The initial sample results are encouraging, and we’re eager to complete the next stages of technical and legal due diligence. Our team sees this as a launchpad to scale our proven model across multiple jurisdictions, delivering value for shareholders while making a measurable positive impact in the communities where we operate.”
Next Steps & Conditions
Definitive Agreement: Finalize binding terms with Planta Magdalena following the completion of legal, technical, and financial due diligence. This includes title and lien verification, litigation search, licensing and permitting review, and confirmation of compliance with Colombian mining and environmental regulations.
Technical Verification: Conduct QP-supervised site visits to the Bolívar project for systematic tailings sampling, full QA/QC protocols, metallurgical recovery testing, and circuit engineering design. The Company foresees this to occur in the beginning of September.
Bulk Concentrate Testing: Finalize ongoing bulk-sample concentrate tests from Planta Magdalena to confirm recovery rates for the proposed mining circuit. Testing will be completed at the Company’s Montauban facilities with confirmed assays at ACTLABS in Québec on an expedited basis.
Montauban Development: Continue construction and commissioning work at Montauban, where concentrate testing and process fine-tuning are progressing well. A detailed 3D geological model is nearing completion to refine high-priority drill targets, and the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) will incorporate enhanced economics to reflect higher metal prices.
Implementation Planning: For the Bolívar JV, confirm and validate all operational frameworks, develop a localized community engagement plan, and finalize environmental management measures consistent with ESGold’s clean-processing standards.
Why This Matters to Shareholders
With Montauban fully permitted and under construction in Québec, the Bolívar opportunity marks a pivotal step toward building a scalable, self-funded, high-margin platform for precious metals production across the Americas. By securing permitted tailings projects in prolific mining districts, ESGold can generate predictable, repeatable cash flow that funds exploration and discovery without relying on continual equity dilution. This disciplined model pairs near-term production with the upside of exploration, creating a balance of stability and growth rarely seen in the sector. Coupled with our commitment to environmental remediation and community benefits, this strategy positions ESGold to compound value over time, transforming legacy mine waste into both shareholder returns and lasting positive impact across multiple jurisdictions.
