Macarthur Minerals Update

Identifies Potential Lithium Brine Zones in Nevada, USA

  

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) reports that Macarthur Minerals Limited (TSX-V: MMS) has announced that it has identified several zones indicative of a lithium brine aquifer at its Reynolds Springs Lithium Brine Project in Railroad Valley, Nevada, USA.

The Railroad Valley has geological attributes that closely match the Clayton Valley, which hosts North America's only producing lithium mine, Albemarle's Silver Peak Lithium Mine.

Cadence has a 15.2% 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 referred to above.

Kiran Morzaria, Chief Executive Officer of Cadence, commented:

"Macarthur Minerals believes this is the start of something very significant in the US lithium sector. We now look forward to the development of a basin-wide geological model, ahead of permitting and drill testing."

About Cadence Minerals:

 

Cadence is dedicated to smart investments for a greener world. 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 £25 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.
