Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the announcement today from Auroch Minerals Limited (ASX: AOU) (“Auroch”) that it has initiated a ground-gravity survey at its Arden Project (Arden) near Port Augusta, South Australia. The detailed survey will cover two highly-prospective target areas of the Ragless Range prospect as well as a third target area at the Radford Creek prospect.
Auroch have appointed Atlas Geophysics Pty Ltd (Atlas) to undertake the Arden gravity survey, and it is estimated it will take approximately a week to complete. The survey will be completed on a very close spacing of 15m between stations to be able to define dense mineralised horizons as little as 3m thick. The initial line-spacing has been planned at 125m – 200m, which may be infilled to closer spacing as needed as the survey progresses.
Located some 335km north of Adelaide, the Arden Project boasts a large relatively unexplored exploration area of 1,664km2 and is highly prospective for sedimentary-exhalative (SEDEX) mineralisation. Within the Arden Project, up to three horizons of SEDEX zinc mineralisation were identified from the recent drilling programme at the Ragless Range Prospect extending over 3km of strike and open in every direction.
Cadence currently owns approximately 6.5% of the equity in Auroch Minerals, which is an exploration company targeting principally zinc, cobalt and lithium.

Cadence Minerals CEO Kiran Morzaria commented:“Aidan Platel and the Auroch team continue to build the investment case for Cadence Minerals. We look forward to the survey results and subsequent developments.”
