Auroch Minerals (ASX: AOU) drilling confirms Base-Metals Mineralisation at Bonaventura

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note that Auroch Minerals (ASX: AOU) ("Auroch") has successfully discovered a new base-metals mineralised system at its 100%-owned Bonaventura Project, in South Australia. The very first drill-hole DWDD-001 at the Dewrang Target intersected 8.90m at 2.12% zinc and 0.51% lead from 180.6m, including 1.00m at 4.53% zinc and 0.97% lead from 186.7m1.

The drill-hole targeted a significant Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeability anomaly defined by Auroch's IP survey that was completed in June this year. The mineralised interval in the drill-hole correlated extremely well with the high chargeability, indicative that the IP anomaly reflects base-metals mineralisation. The IP anomaly is at least 1.5km long, thus suggesting a significant mineralised base-metals system, and the mineralisation remains open in all directions.

Highlights:

· First drill-hole from the maiden drill programme at the Dewrang Target, within the Auroch's Bonaventura Project, identifies significant zinc-lead mineralisation.

· The drill-hole intersected 8.90m at 2.12% zinc and 0.51% lead from 180.6m, including 1.00m at 4.53% zinc and 0.97% lead from 186.7m (DWDD-001)

· The mineralised interval correlates very well with a geophysical IP anomaly which is up to 1.5km long and which had never previously been drill-tested.

· Assays are pending from additional drill-holes at the Dewrang, Kohinoor and Grainger target areas at Bonaventura.

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: "We stated in our August 15th announcement that Auroch Minerals had reached a pivotal point in its history as a company. With the first drill hole indicating a significant mineralised base-metals system, Auroch looks well placed as the drilling programme progresses. For Cadence Minerals, the discovery provides further validation of our investment strategy, and we await further developments from both Bonaventura and Arden with great interest."

Mexalit is the owner of the El Sauz, El Sauz 1, El Sauz 2, Fleur and Fleur 1 mineral concessions, which forms part of the 20-year mine plan of the Sonora Lithium Project in Northern Mexico; 6.6% of Auroch Minerals Ltd; 4.5% of Clancy Exploration Ltd; 12.1% of Macarthur Minerals Ltd; 4% of the San Luis lithium exploration project in Argentina; 30% free carried interest in one mining lease and six exploration license in part of the the Yangibana Rare Earth Mineral deposit and a 100% interest in and exploration license on the eastern boundary of boundaries of Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited's licences that encompass the world-class Kvanefjeld, Sørenson, Zone 3 and Steenstrupfjeld Rare Earth Element deposits.
