Hastings Technology Metals (ASX: HAS) announces 95% Recovery of Ore and 52% improvement in Head Grade from Bulk Ore Sorting Trial.

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to announce Hastings Technology Metals (ASX:HAS) ("Hastings"), Cadence's joint venture partner at the Yangibana Rare Earth Project in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia ("Yangibana" "Yangibana Project"), has announced successful completion of bulk sample testing through an ore sorting circuit. These outstanding results confirm earlier results from smaller drill core derived samples, which were tested with two different ore sorter vendors.

Previous small-scale test work has shown that off-the-shelf x-ray transmission (XRT) ore sorting technology could be applied to separate out a barren waste stream from the ore. This presents an opportunity to remove waste dilution material from the mining process before the material is fed into the processing plant, potentially resulting in energy and reagent savings in the beneficiation circuit.

Cadence Minerals Yangibana Holding:

Cadence owns 30% of the Yangibana, Yangibana North, Gossan, Hook, Kanes Gossan and Lions Ear Rare Earth Deposit, which form part of the Yangibana Rare Earth Deposit. The updated Cadence ore statement can be found on the Yangibana Mineral Resource & Ore Reserve statement from 4th November 2019: https://www.investegate.co.uk/cadence-minerals-plc--kdnc-/rns/yangibana-mineral-resource---ore-reserves/201911041303331852S/.

Highlights:

·; 95.1% recovery of contained Nd2O3+Pr6O11 on 1.8 tonne sorted bulk sample.

·; 52% increase in head grade from 0.71% to 1.08% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 .

·; 37.1% of the sample mass rejected from ore sorting testwork.

·; Standard commercial ore sorting technology, X-Ray transmission (XRT), has proven to be extremely effective at removing dilution on samples used in the testing programme.

·; Technical and engineering programs will continue to investigate the operating scenarios where benefits can be realised for the project.

Hastings COO Andrew Reid commented: "The Yangibana orebody continues to amaze us. Not only with its world-class ratios of Nd2O3+Pr6O11, but now these results have confirmed that ore sorting presents a real and future prospect to gain higher operational efficiencies from the Yangibana Processing Plant."

Cadence CEO Kiran Morzaria commented: "This is another key step for Yangibana, providing further ongoing validation for our investment strategy into the joint venture. We await further news with great interest."
