Cadence Minerals #KDNC – Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS, ASX: MIO) – Arrow Land Tenure Agreement and Applications Lodged for Haul Road and Rail Siding for Lake Giles Iron Project
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note that Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) (“Macarthur”) has announced the completion of an agreement with Arrow Minerals Limited (ASX: AMD) (“Arrow”), for the grant of rights to apply for tenements which will support the development of infrastructure associated with a proposed magnetite processing circuit at Lake Giles.
Cadence also notes that on 25 June 2020, Macarthur lodged applications with the Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (“DMIRS”) to develop a 93km haul road from its Lake Giles Iron Project to a proposed rail siding adjacent to the Perth to Kalgoorlie rail line in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia
Arrow Land Tenure Agreement
Pursuant to the Agreement, originally entered into in December 2019, (“Agreement”), Arrow will permit Macarthur to apply for and obtain a general purpose lease and a miscellaneous licence over a site within the boundary of Arrow’s exploration licences E30/393 and E30/394, to support the development of infrastructure associated with its planned magnetite processing circuit for its Lake Giles Iron Project (“Project”). The substantial package of land covers approximately 4,950ha and is adjacent to the Moonshine magnetite deposit. The tenure will be used for constructing supporting infrastructure for the mine including a processing plant, camp, airstrip, tailings storage facility and waste rocks dumps.
The terms upon which Arrow agreed to permit Macarthur’s application included a cash payment of A$250,000 (paid in December 2019) (“Cash Payment”) and a share payment comprising the issue of Macarthur shares to Arrow to the value of A$250,000 (exclusive of GST) at an issue price per share equivalent to a 20% discount to the average VWAP of the shares trading on ASX for the 5 trading days preceding the issue date, and on which trades for the shares were recorded (“Share Payment”). Macarthur made the Share Payment on 23 June 2020, resulting in the issue of 1,702,997 shares at an issue price of A$0.1468 per share.

Road and Rail Links
Subject to obtaining required approvals and completion of construction, the proposed haul road and rail siding will provide optionality for the transport of iron ore by rail to either Esperance Port or the Port of Kwinana.
This key infrastructure is intended to support the development of Macarthur’s flagship Moonshine magnetite deposits at Lake Giles, targeting a +65% Fe beneficiated magnetite concentrate, and opens up the opportunity to exploit Direct Shipping Ore (“DSO”) from the Ularring hematite deposits.
In 2012, the Company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study for the mining of iron ore from its Ularring hematite deposits targeting a +60% Fe beneficiated fines sinter product. Given the current robust iron ore market, the Company is currently examining the opportunity to accelerate operations for the mining of DSO (as Stage 1) from its Ularring hematite deposits with the objective of generating early revenue flows. The development of new road and rail siding infrastructure has the potential to facilitate this, in addition to supporting the development of the Company’s flagship Moonshine magnetite resource (Stage 2) following completion of a successful Feasibility Study for the Lake Giles Iron Project which is currently being progressed.
The full Haul Road and Rail Siding Application release can be found at: https://web.tmxmoney.com/article.php?newsid=7029129052456326&qm_symbol=MMS
Macarthur President and Executive Chairman Cameron McCall commented: “The completion of the agreement with Arrow has secured the rights necessary to enable the design and location of critical inf rastructure associated with the magnetite processing plant which will be finalised as part of the Feasibility Study for the Lake Giles Iron Project.”
“Defining route-to-market infrastructure has been the core focus for the Company throughout 2020. Completion of the Lake Giles Iron Project Feasibility Study will require Macarthur to have engineering designs and tenure for a haul road from the Lake Giles Iron Project to a rail siding with access to the existing rail network. The proposed haul road and rail siding also creates the opportunity to support Stage 1 hematite mining operations at Lake Giles ahead of the commencement of Stage 2 commercial magnetite mining operations. The Board considers that advancing early-revenue generating operations would support re-rating of Macarthur as a producer and will complement the announced pathway for the development of its flagship high-grade Moonshine magnetite resource at Lake Giles.”
Cadence CEO Kiran Morzaria commented: “We are pleased to note that Macarthur is steadily advancing the Lake Giles Iron Project, and backed by a robust iron ore market is looking to accelerate operations for the mining of DSO. In our results announcement earlier today, our Chairman noted our ‘timely focus’ on iron ore opportunities. Certainly the developments announced today further validates our investment strategy, both in regard to a potential re-rating of Macarthur as a producer and into our own efforts in developing the Amapá iron ore project.”

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
For the year ended 31 December 2019
___________________________________________________________________________________
First and foremost our thoughts are with families and friends, shareholders and investors during this shape-shifting pandemic. The Board and I hope all have found comfort and safety, well being and support during these extraordinary and unprecedented times.
There is no doubt that such turbulent conditions have created major disruptions and dislocations. However the Board has been well prepared and ready. I thank my fellow Board members for this dynamism and effort. Cadence Minerals (“Cadence” or the “Company”) staff and management have been used to working remotely and via phone/ video conference and quickly adapted to this new challenge.
The Board has continued its driven agenda to proceed with the support for portfolio companies whilst at the same time progress with the main target of the Amapá iron ore project in Brazil.
To this effect and to highlight a few of the achievement by our portfolio companies I would like, with the Board to offer congratulations to MacArthur Minerals on the successful conclusion of its convertible note, the life of mine Off -take agreement with Glencore and the successful listing on the Australian Stock Exchange. These are noticeable achievements for the company and combined with the ongoing successful drilling campaigns at Lake Giles bodes well.
Further European Metal Holdings successfully concluded a lengthy negotiation with the Czech utility company CEZ. This will allow EMH to complete many of its strategic goals and to become one of Europe’s largest and lowest cost lithium producers.
Hastings Technology are JV partner in the Yangibana Rare Earths project also concluded and completed a negotiation with the German based Schaffler Group that will enable the company to pursue its targets.
The Board hope that the next few years will witness a significant harvest as projects progress to operation and revenue, and previously identified opportunities realise higher valuations. All management companies of the portfolio companies within Cadence are wished the best of success.
The recent economic contraction has been severe and turbulent. However our investments have always been based on long-term assumptions and not the idiosyncrasies of the market. There is significant hope that recently announced global stimulus measures will lead to a re opening and recovery sooner than later. This will contribute to a significant appreciation in the company’s portfolio and therefore revenue and shareholder return.
Cadence’s focus on iron ore opportunities appears particularly timely. The stimulus measures specifically relate to infrastructure which benefits Steel demand which by derivative benefits Iron Ore consumption. Argus publications have reported April and May 2020 China steel production higher than that in 2019 and have predicted that China will produce over 1 billion tons of Steel in 2020. This will require more Iron Ore globally and should support the long term Iron Ore price.
China have announced over $140 billion in provincial bonds with increasing government incentives in real estate and infrastructure, which account for over fifty percent of Chinese domestic Steel demand. It is clear that steel production and therefore Iron Ore demand is at the front and center of global stimulus policy.
A rapid global supply response to higher iron ore prices and steel demand has some serious headwinds and constraints. The tragic events at Vales Brumadinho operations and the higher capital costs of new projects represent such challenges. Economic and political struggles combined with higher governance and regulation means operational consistency and good fortune is required to continue to supply the insatiable Steel demand.
Cadence has focused enormous efforts on the Amapá iron ore project. It is immensely pleasing for the board that significant milestones and hurdles were recently achieved, all whilst the global economy was on ” pause” Cadence and its partners, lawyers and consultants all maintained dialogue and pressure to focus on the process to achieve significant results. This will initially result in the movement of of iron ore currently stockpiled and ultimately in the rehabilitation of the Amapá system. As the opportunity progresses the Board is cognizant of the need for sustainability at all levels of the opportunity. The performance and Governance metrics that will be required to re habilitate the mine; port and rail will be stringent and strict.
Cadence has proven its ability to be flexible, opportunistic and survive and thrive. The Board feels the underlying conditions are developing to optimise the portfolio.
I would like to personally thank all Cadence’s management, fellow board members, staff ,consultants, partners and of course all Shareholders for their support and confidence in the Company.

UK Investor Magazine – Cadence Minerals #KDNC – Transformation Cycle
AIM listed Cadence Minerals (AIM: KDNC) continues to make substantial progress with the former Anglo American Iron Ore mine, railway and port at Amapá in Brazil.
Since September 2018, the board has conducted an exhaustive, ongoing round of due diligence and legal processes to bring the mine out of administration, into a recommissioning programme and ultimately back to production.
Back in April 2020, Brazil’s Commercial Court of São Paulo ruled that DEV Mineração S.A., owner of the Amapá iron ore project and 99% owned by Cadence, could commence shipment of the iron ore stockpiles situated at the wholly-owned port in Santana, Amapá, Brazil.
Independent surveys of these iron ore stockpiles indicate that some 1.39 Mt of iron ore in three stockpiles are available for immediate export with an average Fe grade of 62.12%.
Despite the impact of the Covid-19 lockdown in Brazil, shipment is still expected
to commence on schedule late Q2, early Q3 2020. The net proceeds will go to pay labour and small creditors, invest in the recommissioning of the assets and essential maintenance.
Currently rehabilitation of the mine, railway and port is expected to be completed in 2022. A production ramp up will see 5.3 million tonnes of iron ore produced per annum within 3 years of completion of the rehabilitation. The local economy will also see significant benefits, with hundreds of new jobs and employment opportunities.
The financials make impressive reading too.
Net revenues after shipping from the former Anglo American mine is forecast to be approximately $265m per annum, with EBITDA of approx $136m per annum based on a conservative iron ore price of $61 per tonne. Currently the iron ore price squeeze sees the commodity trading at up to $100 per tonne.
“This is a huge step change for Cadence,” says Cadence CEO Kiran Morzaria.
“Our range of lithium and iron ore investments continue to add value, but once
settlement is finalized with our creditors, Cadence will own 27% of Amapá, with options to acquire up to 49%. Our EBITDA forecasts will deliver a material change to current valuation metrics for our company.”
While the focus is certainly on Amapá, the rest of the Cadence portfolio is nonetheless impressive. Cornerstone stakes in projects such as the Cinovec Lithium and Tin Project in the Czech republic and Macarthur Minerals’ Lake Giles Iron Project in Western Australia has provided Cadence with opportunities to invest into assets such as Amapá.
Cinovec, 50% owned by European Metals Holdings (AIM: EMH) and Eastern European utility giant CEZ is set to become a major European and Global lithium supply hub to meet the boom in batteries and electric vehicles, with demand anticipated to grow some 800% by 2030. Cadence also has a range of other lithium and rare metal investments, plus a joint venture at the Yangibana Rare Earths project in Australia with Hastings Technology Metals (ASX: HAS).
Cadence Chairman Andrew Suckling is also a non-executive director of Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS, ASX: MIO) and chairman of the Audit Committee. Macarthur stated recently it was ‘encouraged by the robust iron ore market’, and also buoyed by the recent share price performance of Cadence Minerals, one of its largest shareholders.
City institutions are also waking up to Amapá’s potential, with broker WH Ireland noting that the “healthy margin from sales of the easy to ship iron-ore stockpile could be used to pay senior bank creditors, complete a feasibility study into the reopening of the mine and pay for some of the new infrastructure required.”
AIM listed Cadence currently trades on an asset backed market cap of just £7m, although with the current transformation cycle the company is undergoing, that
could be unlikely to last.
Cadence Minerals #KDNC – Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS, ASX: MIO) Joint Venture Partner Fe Limited announces FIRB approval for sale of Iron Ore royalty
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note that Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) (“Macarthur”) Joint Venture Partner, Fe Limited (“FEL”) has announced that the sale of its Evanston royalty interest to Trident Resources PLC (LSX: TRR) has been granted approval from Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).
The transaction has already received approval from FEL’s Shareholders, and the announcement by FEL that FIRB approval has also been granted is another important step. The transaction remains subject to Trident commencing trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, which has been targeted to occur by 2 June 2020.
FEL has entered into an earn-in agreement with Macarthur for eight tenements in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, including the Hillside Gold and Copper Project. Under the terms of the earn-in agreement, Macarthur acquired 5.4% of the ordinary shares in FEL in August 2019 as consideration for the stage 1 Option Exercise Fee. The Evanston royalty transaction will provide FEL with the necessary funding to support its ongoing exploration programs, including follow-up works to the recent drilling program completed at the Hillside Gold and Copper Project.
Macarthur President and Executive Chairman Cameron McCall commented: “The confirmation that the sale of FEL’s royalty interest to Trident Resources has cleared a key regulatory approval requirement in Australia with the FIRB is further pleasing news for our joint venture partner FEL and its ability to fund its ongoing exploration programs, including further exploration activities on Macarthur’s Pilbara tenements encompassing the Hillside, Panorama, and Strelley projects. Macarthur looks forward to working with FEL on furthering these opportunities and delivering value to its shareholders.”

Cadence Minerals (KDNC) – Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) announces that further exploration for gold and copper is planned for the Hillside Project.
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note that Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) (“Macarthur”) has today provided an update on planned exploration activities at its Hillside Gold and Copper Project by it’s Joint Venture Partner, Fe Limited (“FEL”) .
Cadence Minerals Holding in Macarthur
Cadence holds approximately 3.1% 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.
Highlights:
- Down dip extension of mineralised gossan intercepted in two holes
- Anomalous results received include:
- HRC 001: 1m @ 0.19% Cu, 230ppm Co, 0.14% Zn, 0.07ppm Au from 28m
- HRC 022: 1m @ 0.74% Cu, 349ppm Co, 0.41% Zn, 0.14ppm Au from 83m
- HRC 036: 1m @ 0.18% Cu, 0.12% Zn from 25m, 1m @ 0.27% Cu from 40m
Results from the first phase drilling program reported by FEL in ASX announcement February 10, 2020 were very encouraging with three holes positively identified to have intercepted down dip extensions of a surface gossan. The three identified holes showed anomalous intercepts spanning the full length of the 14 km strike. In a cost saving measure, roughly half of the drilled samples were assayed in the lab where there was a logged record of visible quartz or sulphides in the samples. The remaining samples are now being analysed in the office using a portable XRF in case any anomalous samples were missed. If any are found, these will be sent to the lab for formal assay.
Once the results are received (lab and pXRF), the data will be interpreted using geochemistry to try to differentiate between different flows of basalt as a method of targeting possible sedimentary horizons deposited during volcanic hiatus. It is not yet clear whether outcropping and downhole mineralisation is the result of a volcano-stratigraphic massive sulphide deposit or a hydrothermal shear hosted depositional model.
FEL is planning a field trip in Q2 to conduct similar pXRF testing in the field ahead of further drilling or possible close spaced ground geophysics as well as follow up exploration of promising manganese outcrops in a neighbouring tenement.
