Auroch Minerals - Update

More Cobaltite Identified in Drilling Tisova Project, Czech Republic

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to report that Auroch Minerals, in which Cadence currently owns a 7.7% equity stake, has announced that all drill holes to date have intersected multiple zones of massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation within a wider sulphide halo as predicted in the 3D geology model. Hole TIDD003 intersected visible cobalt and copper minerals within a 130m thick zone containing 1-5% disseminated sulphides.

The full release can be found at: http://clients3.weblink.com.au/pdf/AOU/01919087.pdf

Highlights from the Auroch Minerals Release

·      Third hole (TIDD001) intersects multiple zones of semi-massive, disseminated and vein hosted sulphide mineralisation above target zone

·      Sulphides include cobaltite (Co), chalcopyrite (Cu), sphalerite (Zn) and pyrrhotite (Fe)

·      TIDD001 drilled to 79.1m after intersecting historic void and underground scrap preventing further drilling - hole to be redrilled

·      Fourth hole (TIDD004) commenced, completion expected by end of November

·      Samples from first two holes despatched to ALS in Romania

·      Auroch's 3D model confirmed:

o   Sulphide halos more than 100m true thickness

o   Multiple lenses of massive semi massive sulphides within target halo

·     Existing infrastructure of 30 Km + of underground development, including a 400m shaft down to 9 level (400m below surface) is present at Tisová

·      Auroch's best results for Cobalt, Copper, Gold and Silver at Tisová:

o   0.69% Cobalt, 17.1% Copper, 3.7 ppm Gold and 178 ppm Silver

The planet needs rechargeable batteries on a global scale - upcoming supersized passenger vehicles, lorries and buses - require lithium and other technology minerals to power their cells. Cadence is helping find these minerals in new places and extracting them in new ways, which will meet the demand of this burgeoning market. With over £30 million vested in key assets globally, Cadence is helping us reach tomorrow, today.

Cadence invests across the globe, principally in lithium mining projects. Its primary strategy is taking significant economic stakes in upstream exploration and development assets within strategic metals. We identify assets that have strategic cost advantages that are not replicable, with the aim of achieving lower quartile production costs. The combination of this approach and seeking value opportunities allows us to identify projects capable of achieving high rates of return.

The Cadence board has a blend of mining, commodity investing, fund management and deal structuring knowledge and experience, that is supported by access to key marketing, political and industry contacts. These resources are leveraged not only in our investment decisions but also in continuing support of our investments, whether it be increasing market awareness of an asset, or advising on product mix or path to production. Cadence Mineral's goal is to assist management to rapidly develop the project up the value curve and deliver excellent returns on its investments.
