Cadence Minerals Plc #KDNC – Director Share Purchases
As announced in December 2017 the Directors all entered into a Defined Director Purchase Programme (“DDPP”) in which they will each purchase £1,000 of ordinary shares per month for 12 months. These shares will be purchased from the market on the first Friday of each month starting on 2nd February 2018 and ending the 4th January 2019. The market will be notified of the purchases on the next trading day via a PDMR; Directors dealing notification.

Cadence Minerals #KDNC – Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) Acquires New Pilbara Tenement with Historic Base Metal Mineralisation Identified
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note that Macarthur Minerals (“Macarthur”, TSX-V: MMS) has applied for an Exploration Licence in close proximity to its Macarthur’s Tambourah Lithium Project in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. A review of historical data indicates the area is prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt and platinum group element (“PGE”) mineralization.
Highlights:
- The newly acquired tenement is ideally situated adjacent to the Company’s Exploration Licences E45/4848 and E45/4702, which comprise the Tambourah Lithium Project.
- The tenement is also in close proximity to West Wits Mining Limited’s Tambina Creek Gold Project where previous exploration reported rock chip samples up to 4.7g/t Au and costean trenching returning 5.7 g/t Au over four meters.
- The tenement also lies approximately 45 km South of Venturex Resources Limited’s Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves Cu-Zn volcanogenic massive sulphide Deposits.
- The tenement sits in the East Pilbara Granite–Greenstone Terrain of the Pilbara Craton, a setting that has been defined prospective for VMS style mineralization.
- The Company recently completed a review of historical data, including a geochemical soil and rock chip sampling program undertaken between 2007 and 2008 Haddington Resources Limited and considers the area to be prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt and PGE minerals.
- The collective geochem anomalies and drill hole results provide several targets worthy of further exploration. Further close spaced geochemical sampling is required along these structures and will be undertaken on grant of the Exploration Licence.
Cadence holds approximately 12% of the issued equity interest in Macarthur, which is an Australian mining exploration company focused primarily on lithium, iron ore and gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It also has the lithium project in Nevada, USA.

Cadence Minerals CEO Kiran Morzaria commented: “Macarthur Minerals already has a sizeable land package of 1,328 km2 in the Pilbara area which is highly prospective for conventional gold and conglomerate gold deposits. The company’s Tambourah Lithium Project has already yielded promising rock chip results up to 1.47% LiO2, so the addition of a new tenement with a solid exploration pedigree in our view further enhances the Macarthur Minerals investment case. We look forward to further updates from Cameron McCall and the Macarthur Minerals team.”

Ken Baksh – Do you have enough…..commodities?
Black Rock Commodities Income Investment Trust –ISIN GB00B0N8MF98
Commodities have made a strong start in 2018, rising to a three-year high. The Bloomberg Commodity Spot index hits its highest level since 2014 last week after strong readings for manufacturing activity around the world and increased global demand forecasts. A weaker dollar and various supply constraints/worries such as Libya, Iran, North Sea pipeline affecting oil supply and Chinese shutdowns affecting various metals.
Resource companies themselves have cut spending on new projects and have generally stronger balance sheets and are returning more to shareholders.
One way of accessing this sector is through the Black Rock Commodities Income Investment Trust.
The object of this investment trust is to achieve an annual dividend target, (currently 4p), and over the long term, capital growth, by investing primarily in securities of companies operating in the mining and energy sector.
- The fund predominantly invests in large quoted equities, the split between oil and mining being approximately oil, majors plus exploration/production 38%, mining 46%, miscellaneous 16% as at end November 2017.
- Underlying major mining companies, have for the large part responded to the historic weaker trend in resource prices, maintaining balance sheet discipline and adjusting their cost bases.There have been some examples of spectacular self-help stories e.g. Glencore and Anglo American Mining.
- Recent mining conferences have highlighted the need for increased use of Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel and Copper relating to Electronic Vehicles.BRCI has been building exposure to these elements over the last couple of years. For example, Glencore is now one of the leading global suppliers of Cobalt, a vital component for rechargeable batteries.
- Rising economic growth projections, supply constraints and a changing OPEC stance have significantly helped the prospects of the major oil companies held. Royal Dutch, for instance, has announced much better than expected results and offers a dividend yield over of over 6%. Statoil and Total also confirmed the more favourable trend for oil majors.
- As at End November 2017, the Fund ‘s major holdings featured Royal Dutch (6.1%), First Quantum (9.3%), Rio Tinto (6.7%), BHP (6.6%), Glencore (5.0%), and Chevron (4. 5%).The top ten holdings represented nearly 52% of the total portfolio, a relatively concentrated stance.
- The global nature of these companies provides exposure to non-sterling currencies, especially the US dollar. This can benefit both capital and income when sterling is on a weaker trend.
- On a TECHNICAL NOTE, it should be noted that energy and material stocks represent about 25% of the FTSE100 index. If using this as a broad benchmark, the weighting in these sectors can materially affect the relative performance of UK active and passive funds.
- As well as targeting financially strong dividend paying equities the company also employs option writing strategies and an element of gearing, currently near 3%, to further improve the sources of income.
- On an annual yield, over 5%, (payable quarterly), this trust represents a high income longer term value play, but investors should be aware of the volatility of the underlying sector-maybe another reason to adopt a pooled approach. The trust currently trades at a current discount to net assets of near 6%, near the year’s low, compared with the premium on which it traded for most of the last five years (see graph below). The company operates a discount management procedure from time to time.
