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

Cadence Minerals is a mining-focused investment company with unlisted investment assets that the market appears to be clearly mis-pricing. It holds a portfolio of public investments, but its major non-public asset is a 33.6% stake in the Amapá iron ore project in Brazil; we believe a conservative base-case valuation for the asset to be £41.2m at its current stage of development, significantly above the valuation for Cadence in its entirety. We see significant further de-risking of the project in 2024, including licensing and further engineering and optimisation work, with this progress increasing the value of Candence’s stake.
