Auroch Minerals (ASX: AOU) Stakes Highly-Prospective IOCG Project at Lake Torrens

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note the update published today by Auroch Minerals (ASX:AOU) 'Auroch' that it has applied for a large exploration tenement package in the Lake Torrens region of South Australia. Auroch's Torrens East Copper Project comprises two exploration licence applications (ELAs) covering a combined area of 1,622km2 and is considered highly-prospective for IOCG (iron oxide - copper - gold) mineralisation.

Highlights:

· Auroch has pegged 1,622km2 of ground considered highly-prospective for Iron Oxide -Copper - Gold (IOCG) mineralisation in the Lake Torrens region of South Australia.

· The large exploration licence applications (ELAs) are situated adjacent to the Torrens JV (70% Aeris Resources Ltd; 30% Argonaut Resources NL) and cover the same large gravity anomaly.

· The ELAs are located approximately 50km from BHP's recently-announced drilling in the Olympic Dam copper-gold province, host to the world-class Olympic Dam (BHP Group Ltd) and Carrapateena (Oz Minerals Ltd) IOCG deposits.

· A review of all historical geophysical and geological data is underway with an exploration programme planned for early 2019.

The Torrens JV (70% Aeris Resources Ltd (ASX:AIS); 30% Argonaut Resources NL (ASX:ARE)) lies immediately west of Auroch's Torrens East Copper Project within the Torrens Hinge Zone of the Olympic Dam copper-gold province. High-resolution aeromagnetic and gravity geophysical surveys within the Torrens JV has identified a coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly similar to, but larger than that of Olympic Dam. The JV intends to commence a drilling programme to test this geophysical target before the end of this year. BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) has also been actively exploring for copper in the Olympic Dam copper gold province. Results announced from their recent drilling programme approximately 50km from Auroch's Torrens East Copper Project include:

· 425.7m @ 3.04% Cu and 0.59g/t Au, including 180m @ 6.07% Cu and 0.92g/t Au;

· 406m @ 0.66% Cu and 0.35g/t Au;

· 124.5m @ 0.52% Cu and 0.48g/t Au; and

· 77m @ 2.11% Cu and 0.54g/t Au.

BHP is currently evaluating and interpreting these results and intends to commence a follow-up drill programme in early 2019.

Cadence currently owns 6.6% of the equity in Auroch Minerals, which is an exploration company targeting principally zinc, cobalt and lithium.

Cadence Minerals CEO Kiran Morzaria commented: "Following on from the exciting developments announced recently at Auroch's Arden project, Aidan Platel and his team continue to add value to the Auroch investment proposition with the highly prospective Lake Torrens IOCG tenement. Given the exceptionally strong set of drilling results from BHP Group at the nearby Olympic Dam copper gold province, and the encouraging survey data from the adjacent Torrens JV, we at Cadence believe there is ample evidence to support Auroch's exploration programme across these new license areas."
