Cadence Minerals #KDNC – Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) Announces Glencore #GLEN Participation in Financing.
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the announcement today from Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) (“Macarthur”), that further to the announcement of March 19, 2019, a subsidiary of Glencore plc (“Glencore”) has agreed to participate in the US$6 million secured Convertible Note (“Note”) on a private placement basis for US$2 million.
Glencore’s participation in this financing, strengthens the life-of-mine long-term strategic relationship between the parties in line with the previously announced binding Off-Take Agreement (“Agreement”) with Glencore for sale of iron ore to be produced from the Lake Giles Iron Project (“Project”) in the Yilgarn Region of Western Australia.
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.
Key terms to the note:
- Each Note has a face value of US$10,000 following adoption of a loan note instrument.
- The Notes (including accrued but unpaid interest) can be converted at any time after 12 months into common shares of Macarthur at the Noteholder’s option at a conversion price that reflects the greater of 80% of the average VWAP over 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of a notice of conversion and C$0.10 (in each case with appropriate equivalence to USD), with attaching warrants offered for one fourth of the commitment amount exercisable at the greater of C$0.10 or the average VWAP over 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Advance Date (such term being defined in the definitive documentation) (in each case with appropriate equivalence to USD).
- The Notes will have a term to maturity of 3 years and bear interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum.
- The Notes include a restriction on conversion that provides that such conversion may not have the effect of causing Noteholder to own 20% or more of the common shares of Macarthur or becoming a control person.
- The iron ore mining licences held by Macarthur (or a subsidiary of Macarthur) in respect of the Lake Giles Iron project region of Western Australia will act as security for the Notes issued to the Noteholder.
Any shares issued upon conversion of the principal amount of the Note and any accrued interest will be subject to certain resale restrictions, including a restricted (or “hold”) period of four months and one day following the distribution date of the Note and warrant, under applicable Canadian securities legislation.
The consummation of the US$2 million financing commitment from Glencore is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including that of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board and satisfaction of the other conditions set out in the Investment Agreement entered into by the Glencore and Macarthur.

Cadence Minerals Chairman Andrew Suckling commented: “To secure a US$2 million investment from Glencore following the recently announced take-off agreement marks another significant milestone for Macarthur and its shareholders. As with the Exception Capital financing agreement announced yesterday, the terms are attractive, and provide Macarthur with funding certainty while potentially minimising dilution to Cadence shareholders.”

On December 12th 2017, GLEN published an investor update, and said that the outlook for its “Tier 1” commodities – copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc & thermal coal were underpinned by persistent supply challenges and robust demand. GLEN added that it was the best placed large cap resources company for the Electric Vehicle revolution. CEO Ivan Glasenberg said the Company expects 2018 illustrative EBITDA of c.$16.2bn at spot/forward prices, adding that GLEN “looks to the future, confident in our ability to continue to create superior returns for our shareholders.”
Along with the other large cap resource giants listed on the FTSE100, GLEN has seen a resurgence in value since summer 2017. The mid December dip in the stock flagged the opportunity and trend both across RV (Relative Value) and RT (Relative Timing) metrics. RV, an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential, logged at 1.55, which VectorVest considers excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. Added to this, the GRT (forecasted Earnings Growth Rate) for GLEN logs at 37.00%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent, and despite a fair RS (Relative Safety) rating of 0.93 (scale of 0.00 to 2.00), at 409p the stock trades a long way below the VectorVest valuation of 610p.
The chart of GLEN is shown above in my normal format. The blue line study in the window below the price shows Earnings per Share (EPS) growing strongly. The share is trending strongly upwards after breaking and subsequently testing a 52 week high.
Summary: To some investors, mining companies represent a greater degree of investing risk. However, in the view of VectorVest, the sheer size and diversity of the Glencore business results in a relatively safe and stable investment proposition, while a resource hungry world and the EV revolution provides a huge market opportunity and a compelling growth story to buy into.

Looking forward the film release programme for the second half of the year includes a number of key releases namely “Justice League”, “Paddington 2”, “Thor: Ragnarok”, “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” and “Star Wars: Episode VIII”, and many more. Based on the H2 film slate the group remains confident of delivering a performance for the year as a whole in line with current market expectations.
DFS Furniture DFS publishes a pre-close trading update, and says H2 has been weaker than expected owing to significant declines in store footfall and customer orders across April, May and June. Overall, Group H2 revenues were 4% lower than the prior year, and following an increase of 7% in H1, expects to deliver growth of 1% over the year as a whole. FY EBITDA will be at the low end of the £82-£87m range previously given.
