Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the announcement today from Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) (“Macarthur”) that it has engaged Orbit Drilling Pty Ltd (“Orbit Drilling”) to commence an infill drill program at its Moonshine Magnetite Project at Lake Giles (“Project”) in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia.
Highlights:
- Macarthur has contracted Orbit Drilling to complete a 30 hole infill program at the Moonshine Magnetite Project.
- The drill program has been planned to upgrade the Inferred Mineral Resource estimate to a Measured Mineral Resource of approximately 100 million tonnes (“Mt”) at the Project.
- Drill-hole planning was conducted by CSA Global Pty Ltd (CSA), Macarthur’s independent geological consultants.
- The Measured Mineral Resource will underpin the bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) of the Project to be completed in 2019.
Drilling Program
Macarthur states that the drilling program is designed to coincide with the BFS for the Project to be undertaken in 2019. Mining and processing studies will be based on Measured Mineral Resources to provide greater confidence in the outcomes of the study. The program aims to convert approximately 100 Mt of the Inferred Mineral Resource to a Measured Mineral Resource at the Moonshine deposit. Drill planning has been completed by CSA Global, who completed the early resource modelling and estimations for the Moonshine Magnetite Project.
The drilling program is also planned to obtain diamond core for the purpose of further metallurgical test-work. Diamond core is required for the BFS to refine the process flow design and provide greater understanding of ore variability. This metallurgical test-work program will commence mid-way through the drilling program as core becomes available.
Drilling is planned to commence in early May on receipt of required drilling permits, with an initial campaign of approximately 12 weeks.
Moonshine Magnetite Project
Macarthur states that the Moonshine Magnetite Project contains an Inferred Mineral Resource consisting of 1,316 Mt @ 30.1% Fe.

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.
The full release can be found at: https://web.tmxmoney.com/article.php?newsid=5047835856823328&qm_symbol=MMS
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 #KDNC – Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V:MMS) updates on Nickel exploration at Lake Giles project
Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note that Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) (“Macarthur”) has provided a further update on the results of its drilling of high priority nickel sulphide targets at its Lake Giles project in Western Australia. Surveying at targets derived from recent geophysical surveys using Moving Loop Electromagnetics (“MLEM”) successfully delineated two bedrock conductors, MC01 and MC02 at Moonshine, with a further bedrock conductor identified at the Snark prospect.
Highlights:
- Results for the two Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill holes completed at Moonshine North have returned encouraging assay results.
- Anomalous nickel in hole 18MRC001 with average of 0.2% Ni over 31 metres (“m”) from 26m.
- Potassic alteration indicated in hole 18MRC001 from 140m to 146m (20% Potassium content) marginal to the sulphide intersection in the hole.
- Anomalous gold associated with sulfidic chert in interval 106m to 113m (average gold content 159 part per billion (“ppb”) over the interval).
- Both holes had successfully intersected sulphide minerals at depth and semi-massive sulphide comprising 20% pyrite/pyrrhotite was recorded over 12m in hole 18MRC002 from 185m to end of hole (“EOH”). Sulphide mineralisation is open at depth and on strike with the hole ending in sulphide mineralisation.
Prior to Macarthur’s acquisition of the Lake Giles project, there were two previous periods of limited exploration activity for nickel over parts of the present tenement package. The recent review and evaluation of geochemical and geophysical data has identified significant exploration targets for nickel. These targets include some fifteen areas considered prospective for discovery of sulphide style nickel within the belt of ultramafic rocks.
