Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) Joint Venture Partner FE Limited Releases Initial Assay Results on the Hillside Project.

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the announcement today from Macarthur Minerals (TSX-V: MMS) ("Macarthur") that its Joint Venture Partner Fe Limited ("FEL"), has released assay results from a recent field trip to the Hillside Gold and Copper Project in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia.

Samples collected by FEL's geological team during a recent site visit to the Hillside tenements were submitted to the laboratory for analysis in early August. Three of the assays received so far have returned strongly anomalous grades for base metals and gold from different locations.

The base metals results from the gossan outcrop shows similar copper grades to a historical rock chip from a gossan outcrop directly south along strike approximately 6 kilometres away.  Both outcrops lie within a strong magnetic anomaly identified in the SkyTEM electromagnetic survey conducted by MLi in 2018. This gossan will be a high priority drilling target in coming months.
