Cadence Minerals (KDNC) – Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) Progress Towards Rail Haulage Agreement.
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the announcement today from Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) (“Macarthur”) that it has partnered with Australian freight haulage company Aurizon (“Aurizon”) to finalise a rail haulage contract for its Lake Giles Moonshine Magnetite Project (“Project”) in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia. This news follows the Company’s recent announcement that it has signed a binding Life-of-Mine Off-Take Agreement with Glencore International A.G. for the sale of iron ore to be produced from the Project from the commencement of commercial production.
Macarthur has entered into a Negotiation Agreement with Aurizon to provide above rail haulage services including the supply of rolling stock for the purpose of transporting iron ore from the Project to the Port of Esperance. Aurizon already has rolling stock available that was previously used by other iron ore operators in the region including 325 wagons. The rolling stock is fit for purpose and compatible with rail unloading infrastructure at the Port of Esperance. This represents a key component of the logistics solution for the Project.
Aurizon was selected as the preferred operator based on its superior supply chain experience, safety and operating capability and its expertise in bulk rail freight that includes the transport of over 40 million tonnes of bulk freight and iron ore throughout Australia. Aurizon has significant rail marshalling, maintenance and traincrew facilities at the Port of Esperance, a legacy investment from its previous Cliffs iron ore haulage contract. The open access rail network owned by Arc Infrastructure has available capacity and is accessible within 90 km of the Project and runs directly to the Port of Esperance.
Cadence holds approximately 10% of the issued equity interest in Macarthur, which is an Australian mining exploration company focused primarily on iron ore, nickel, lithium and gold in Western Australia. It also has a lithium project in Nevada, USA.

Cadence Minerals Chairman Andrew Suckling commented: “The partnership with Aurizon to advance Macarthur’s rail haulage requirements represents an important step forward for the Lake Giles Moonshine Magnetite Project take off agreement recently announced between Macarthur and Glencore.”
“Equally significant will be the potential benefits of this agreement to the economies of the local mining communities surrounding the Moonshine Magnetite Project and those of the Port of Esperance community of Western Australia. As stated by Macarthur, these areas have recently suffered from a significant decline in iron ore export.”

Cadence Minerals (AIM: KDNC) – European Metals (AIM: EMH) Cinovec Project Update – Battery Grade Lithium Hydroxide Sample Produced.
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the Cinovec Project update published today by European Metals Holdings Limited (“European Metals” or “EMH”) highlighting the outcomes from a recently completed engineering assessment of the flowsheet and subsequent testwork aimed at demonstrating the ability to produce lithium hydroxide from Cinovec ore. The move by the company to develop a process for the production of lithium hydroxide from the Cinovec project is in response to market forces that continue to move Czech and European manufacturers towards the production of advanced technology batteries.
Highlights:
- Flowsheet successfully developed and tested for the production of lithium hydroxide from Cinovec ore.
- A potential production rate in excess of 25,000 t/a lithium hydroxide has been demonstrated to be possible utilising a robust process route proven in the lithium production sector.
- A formal update of the project PFS reflecting the production of lithium hydroxide is underway and will be completed within the next 6 weeks.
The data produced from the engineering assessment and associated testwork is now being used as the foundation for an update of the PFS such that the final product from the process will be battery grade lithium hydroxide with the option to produce battery grade lithium carbonate should the market support both products.
Cadence holds approximately 19.1 percent of the equity in European Metals, which, through its wholly owned Subsidiary, Geomet s.r.o., controls the mineral exploration licenses awarded by the Czech State over Cinovec.
The full release can be found at: https://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/EMH/14024475.html
Cadence Minerals Chairman Andrew Suckling commented:“Today’s news confirms that EMH have taken another step along the road to producing battery grade lithium hydroxide. As CEO Keith Coughlan says, it is an exciting development that will enable the Company to supply its final product into the European marketplace. We are also impressed by the potential production rate numbers quoted by EMH, and we look forward to the updated PFS results.”

Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, holders of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) have until the Termination Date to surrender their ADSs for cancellation and to take delivery of the underlying shares. Holders are reminded that any time after the Termination Date, Deutsche Bank (“the Depositary”) may sell the securities represented by then outstanding ADSs and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, without liability for interest. If ADS holders surrender their ADSs for delivery of the underlying shares, they must pay a cable fee of $15.00 and a cancellation fee of $0.05 per ADS surrendered and any applicable U.S. or local taxes or governmental charges. For more details and for official instructions on how to surrender ADSs please contact adr@db.com.
