Cadence Minerals #KDNC – European Metals Holdings #EMH – Extension Granted to all Cinovec Exploration Licenses

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the announcement by European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH, OTCQX: EMHXY, ERPNF and EMHLF) in regard to the granting of an extension to all four Cinovec Exploration Licences (“the licences”). These licenses fully cover all three granted Preliminary Mining Permits (“PMP’s”) comprising the Cinovec Project. All four licences have been extended until 31 December 2026. The granting of this extension follows a comprehensive evaluation by the relevant state authorities of results achieved to date in exploring the deposit. Plans for future exploration work, including further resource drilling, and compliance with conditions set by the Czech Ministry of Environment were also assessed.

The extension was necessary as the granted PMP’s, whilst conveying the sole and exclusive rights to apply for a Final Mining Permit, do not allow for further drilling until the final mining area is granted. As the Company plans to conduct further metallurgical and measured resource drilling, an extension to the exploration licenses due to expire in December 2023 was sought.

The licences extension applies to the Exploration Areas Cínovec, Cínovec II, Cínovec III and Cínovec IV, which fully cover the East, South and NorthWest PMP’s.
