Castillo - Picasso Lithium Project Site Visit

27 Oct 2021 09:50

RNS Number : 4274Q
Cadence Minerals PLC
27 October 2021

Cadence Minerals Plc

("CadenceMinerals","Cadence")

Castillo Copper (ASX/LON:CCZ)to undertake comprehensive site visit to test all known pegmatites at Picasso Lithium Project.

Further to the announcements of 29 September 2021, 7 October 2021 and 20 October 2021, CadenceMinerals(AIM/AQX:KDNC;OTC:KDNCY)ispleasedtoannouncethat the CastilloCopper's(ASX/LON:CCZ)("Castillo") geology team will undertake a field trip to the Picasso Lithium Project, near Norseman in Western Australia.

For the full Castillo announcement, please link here

This is a lithium rich region, as the Mt Marion and Bald Hill Mines are located within 120km to the north-west of the tenure. Moreover, the Picasso Lithium Project is proximal to LTR's Buldania Project which has a JORC compliant resource at 14.9Mt @ 0.97% Li2O2.聽

Highlights

Geology team will visit the Picasso Lithium Project shortly to gather more geological evidence - over a wide area - to verify if known / newly discovered pegmatites host lithium mineralisation

The focus area is the high-density corridor that hosts most of the 69 government mapped pegmatites on the eastern boundary, which is coincident to historical lithium occurrences at surface, coupled with selected outcropping targets seen elsewhere across the tenure1

The scope for the field trip is comprehensive and includes undertaking a drone survey to identify new granite / pegmatites targets; visit and collect samples from prospective zones; determine potential for lithium mineralisation; and update geological maps

Once complete, the team should have ample evidence to finalise the due diligence as significant historical data has already been reviewed, while more than 30 rock-chip samples1聽are due to be received in coming weeks

The Picasso Lithium Project is proximal to Liontown Resources' (ASX: LTR) Buldania Project2聽and is mostly situated on crown land, which makes access a relatively straight forward process

Castillo's Managing Director Simon Paull commented:聽"With the global lithium market showing continued strength, the Board has decided to send a team to site to collect more data points to advance the case for the Picasso Lithium Project. Whilst there is compelling historical evidence already and surface assays pending, the Board is keen to fully map and test all potential targets for lithium mineralisation within the tenure to hasten closing out due diligence."

Cadence CEO Kiran Morzaria added: "Further to the progress made by Castillo in regard to the due diligence at Litchfield, we are pleased that Castillo have also committed to send a geology team to fully assess the potential at the Picasso Lithium Project. We look forward to further progress."

Field Trip - Picasso Lithium Project

Castillo's geology team will visit the Picasso Lithium Project shortly to collect more evidence to ascertain if known and newly discovered pegmatites host lithium mineralisation. The main focus zone is on the eastern boundary which comprises the high-density, government mapped, pegmatite corridor that is coincident with known lithium surface occurrences.聽

In addition, the team expect to survey pegmatite outcropping along the western boundary which is more wide-spread and scattered. Overall, according to government mapped data, there are 69 known pegmatites within the tenure1.

Scope

The geology team have been set a broad scope to collect as much incremental evidence as feasible during the field trip to determine the extent lithium mineralisation is apparent within pegmatites across the tenure. The key tasks comprise:

Conducting a drone survey across a significant area of the tenure;聽

Identify new granite / pegmatites from the drone survey and note dimensions;聽

Visit newly identified granite / pegmatite locations, conduct geological mapping and identify underlying mineralisation; and

Collect as many rock-chip samples as possible from newly identified pegmatites >1m wide and record XRF readings, if any.聽

Once this exercise is complete, the geology team should have sufficient evidence to finalise the due diligence. To date, significant historical data and geological reports have already been reviewed, while more than 30 rock-chips samples1聽are due back from the laboratory in coming weeks.

Overview

Lithium Technologies Pty Ltd ("LT") and Lithium Supplies Pty Ltd ("LS"), in which Cadence owns a 29% shareholding, each own 50% of Synergy Prospecting Pty Ltd ("Synergy") and have granted , as announced on 29 September 2021, Castillo a 90-day option to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of LT and LS and by implication 100% of Synergy.

During this 90-day period, Castillo will be conducting due diligence on all three entities to ensure theunderlying assets are in good standing and there are no material adverse issues. Under the terms oftheoptionagreement,CastillocanexerciseitsrighttoacquireLT,LSandSynergyatanytimeduringthe90-dayperiod.

Castillo Copper Limited is an Australian-based explorer primarily focused on copper across Australia and Zambia. The group is embarking on a strategic transformation to morph into a mid-tier copper group underpinned by its core projects:

A large footprint in the in the Mt Isa copper-belt district, north-west Queensland, which delivers significant exploration upside through having several high-grade targets and a sizeable untested anomaly within its boundaries in a copper-rich region.

Four high-quality prospective assets across Zambia's copper-belt which is the second largest copper producer in Africa.

A large tenure footprint proximal to Broken Hill's world-class deposit that is prospective for zinc-silver-lead-copper-gold.

Cangai Copper Mine in northern New South Wales, which is one of Australia's highest grading historic copper mines.

Optionterms&consideration

The terms of the 90-day option are as follows:

In addition, both parties agree to sign off on a binding term sheet.

Incremental consideration terms are applicable if the following milestones are achieved:

A$1m script payment in CCZ's shares to the Vendor Group based on the 14-day WVAP if two drill-holes produce assayed intercepts greater or equal to a true width of at least 10m @ 1.3% Li2O.Note, the two holes will be at least 100m apart, but not greater than 200m.

A$1m script payment in CCZ's shares to the Vendor Group based on the 14-day WVAP if a JORC compliant total inferred resource of at least 7Mt @ 1.3% Li2O is modelled by SRK Consulting.

In the event of commercial mining operations commencing a 2% NSR will be payable to the nominees of the facilitator.
