Cadence Minerals is an early-stage investment and development company in the mining space. Its public equity holdings include rare earths and lithium developers, and its non-listed interests include a 32.6% interest in the Amapá iron ore restart project in Brazil.

Cadence continues to de-risk and optimise Amapá, with recent work indicating a potential 33% (US$63.2m) reduction in capital costs for the beneficiation plant and a 4.8% increase in forecast production of product. Studies are continuing to reduce mining costs and potentially upgrade the main product from 65% Fe to 67% Fe, which attracts a premium.

Financials

This year will be important for Cadence Minerals’ major asset, the Amapá iron ore project in Brazil. Cadence recently announced the results of an optimisation study that points to the potential to increase production by 4.8% and lower processing plant commissioning costs by 33%. An updated pre-feasibility study (PFS) level NPV will be published in the near future and we explore some of the sensitivities in this report. We have adjusted our valuation to reflect portfolio changes and the rise in Cadence’s stake in Amapá, although we have yet to include the value uplift of the optimisation of Amapá.
