Macarthur Minerals Update

Identifies Potential Lithium Brine Zones in Nevada, USA

Cadence Minerals (AIM/NEX: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) reports that Macarthur Minerals Limited (TSX-V: MMS) has announced that it has identified several zones indicative of a lithium brine aquifer at its Reynolds Springs Lithium Brine Project in Railroad Valley, Nevada, USA.

The Railroad Valley has geological attributes that closely match the Clayton Valley, which hosts North America's only producing lithium mine, Albemarle's Silver Peak Lithium Mine.

Cadence has a 15.2% equity interest in Macarthur, which is an Australian mining exploration company focused primarily on lithium, iron ore and gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It also has the lithium project in Nevada, USA referred to above.

Kiran Morzaria, Chief Executive Officer of Cadence, commented:

"Macarthur Minerals believes this is the start of something very significant in the US lithium sector. We now look forward to the development of a basin-wide geological model, ahead of permitting and drill testing."
