Cadence Minerals plc
("Cadence Minerals", "Cadence", or "the Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2025
Cadence Minerals plc (AIM:KDNC) is pleased to announce its interim results for
the six months ended 30 June 2025.
Highlights
· Robust economics confirmed: Updated Pre-Feasibility Study (December
2024) delivered a post-tax NPV of US$1.97 billion, a 42% IRR, and forecast
average free cash flow of US$342 million per year over a 15-year mine life.
· Early cashflow catalyst underway: Staged development pathway
launched with the recommissioning of the Azteca Plant - targeting
approximately 380,000 tonnes per annum of 65% Fe concentrate, with only US$3.5
million pre-production capex.
· Funding secured with limited dilution: Heads of Terms signed for a
US$4.6 million prepayment offtake facility with a global trading partner.
Cadence will contribute 10-15% of the prepay, targeting a circa 70% IRR on its
share.
· Competitive cost base: Mining costs across the Amapá Project
reduced by 36.7% to US$11.17/dmt, lowering overall FOB costs to US$27.28/dry
metric tonnes ("dmt") and cost and freight ("CFR") costs to US$55.46/dmt -
positioning Amapá amongst the lowest-cost global producers.
· Clear near-term catalysts: Licence issuance, Azteca restart, and
reinvestment of free cashflow into DFS and early works provide a de-risked
bridge to the full 5.5 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") DR-grade project.
Cadence has entered a transformational phase. In just six months we have moved
from project optimisation to a clear, de-risked pathway that can deliver
cashflow, growth, and attractive returns for shareholders.
Our strategy is deliberately phased. By restarting the Azteca Plant with
modest upfront capital, we can generate near-term revenue, reinforce our
licence to operate, and showcase the quality of Amapá's product to the
market. At the same time, we are laying the foundations for the full 5.5 Mtpa
operation - a low-cost, DR-grade project with a US$1.97 billion NPV.
The conditional funding agreement signed with a global trading group
highlights confidence in Amapá's robust economics while reducing dilution for
shareholders. Subject to final contracts and assay confirmation, funding for
the Azteca Plant will be structured through an offtake arrangement. The
offtaker is expected to provide the majority of capital, with Cadence
contributing only 10-15%. Both parties will fund their share upon execution.
Cadence's immediate priorities are to finalise and the complete the offtake
agreement. These milestones set in motion a clear sequence: licensing,
construction, recommissioning, first production and cashflow. This phased
approach is designed to minimise upfront equity dilution, rapidly demonstrate
production capability, and create early revenues that can be reinvested to
drive long-term growth and shareholder value at Amapá.
Outlook
Cadence's flagship Amapá Project is advancing rapidly under a disciplined,
staged development plan. With licences approaching approval and funding
secured through an innovative offtake structure, Amapá is positioned to
transition from developer to producer in the near term.
The Board believes Cadence remains deeply undervalued relative to its asset
base. With an equity stake of approximately 35% in a project carrying a
US$1.97 billion NPV, and near-term cashflow from Azteca, the Company has a
clear bridge from today's modest market capitalisation to a substantially
higher valuation as milestones are achieved.
INVESTMENT REVIEW
Cadence Minerals follows a two-pronged investment strategy, focusing on
private investments where it can add value through active participation, and
public equity investments that offer exposure to assets with growth potential.
PRIVATE INVESTMENTS, ACTIVE
The Amapá Iron Ore Project, Brazil
Interest - 35.7% at 30/06/2025
The Amapá Project is a fully integrated iron ore mine with associated rail,
port, and beneficiation facilities. The Project commenced operations in 2007,
producing 6.1 million tonnes of concentrate in 2012, before suspension in 2014
following a port geotechnical failure.
Investment
In 2019, Cadence entered into a binding investment agreement to acquire up to
27% of Amapá, with the right to increase to 49%. By June 2025, Cadence had
invested approximately US$15.5 million for a 35.7% interest in the Project.
Operations Review
During the reporting period, Cadence and its partners made substantial
progress on the staged development pathway:
· Azteca Plant Restart: Heads of Terms signed with an international
offtaker for a US$4.6 million prepayment facility to finance licensing,
refurbishment, and restart. The plant is expected to produce approximately
380,000 tpa of 65% Fe concentrate, generating circa US$32 million free cash
flow over three years, with first shipments forecast within months of licence
approval. Cadence will contribute approximately 10-15% of funding, with the
balance provided by the offtaker.
· Cost Optimisation for full Amapá Project: Mining contract
re-quotes lowered mining costs by 37%, reducing overall FOB costs to
US$27.28/dmt and CFR costs to US$55.46/dmt, positioning Amapá among the
lowest-cost producers globally.
· Environmental Licensing: By June 2025, the vast majority of
requirements for mine had been completed. Outstanding supplementary studies
(archaeological and water/sewage systems) are expected to conclude prior to
the Azteca Plant restart.
Updated Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS)
The December 2024 optimisation of the Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") reaffirmed
Amapá's potential to deliver 5.5 Mtpa of 67.5% Fe DR-grade concentrate with
improved economics.
As part of this work, engineering consultants identified higher plant
availability, enabling a greater annual run-of-mine feed rate. This prompted a
re-examination of the mine plan and associated disciplines to further optimise
project returns.
The revised schedule now supports a 15-year mine life at a 25% Fe cut-off,
with 13-14 Mtpa of ore delivered to the plant and a low life-of-mine strip
ratio of 0.4:1 (waste: ore). This favourable ratio underpins the Project's
robust cost profile and positions it firmly within the lower quartile of the
global cost curve 1 (#_ftn1) .
An updated financial model was prepared to incorporate the new mine plan,
reduced capital expenditure, and materially lower operating costs secured
through re-quoted mining contracts. All other assumptions were retained from
the December 2024 PFS. While the model assumes 100% equity funding for
presentation purposes, actual financing will comprise a mix of debt and
equity. The results confirm a materially stronger economic case for Amapá, as
outlined in Table 1.1.

Project Permitting
The Amapá Project continues to benefit from its prior operational history,
enabling the Amapá State Environmental Agency ("SEMA") to endorse an
expedited licensing pathway. Ordinarily, a licensing cycle can take up to five
years; however, SEMA has agreed to a compressed process based on previously
approved studies, existing environmental data, and agreed Terms of Reference.
By mid-2025, material progress had been made across all three-installation
licence ("LI") applications:
· Mine LI: Largely complete, with only a supplementary archaeological
survey and final water and sewage system designs outstanding.
· Railway LI: Substantially advanced, requiring only final technical
steps and community engagement programmes.
· Port LI: The most complex due to the historic geotechnical failure;
additional technical studies have been requested, although both state and
federal authorities remain supportive.
In parallel, work to recommission the Tailings Storage Facility ("TSF") is
progressing. A LIDAR survey is under way to finalise the dam break study,
after which remote monitoring and community early-warning systems will be
installed as part of the Azteca capital programme.
The Mine LI and TSF approvals remain the critical path items for the Azteca
Plant restart and will be financed initially through the prepay offtake
agreement.
Secured Bank Settlement Iron Ore Shipments
An in-principal settlement with secured bank creditors was agreed in early
2024. Finalisation has been delayed by approvals and pricing conditions, but
management remains confident in concluding the process as iron ore market
conditions improve.
Development Plan
Cadence and its partners remain committed to a phased development strategy:
· Near-term: Cadence funding to meet development costs for Amapá
and Azteca, finalisation of the Azteca offtake agreement, completion of final
licences, and restart of the Azteca Plant, generating cash flow within months
of licence approval.
· Medium-term: Reinvest free cash flow into working capital, the
Definitive Feasibility Study, and early works.
· Long-term: Full recommissioning of the mine, beneficiation plant,
railway, and port to deliver 5.5 Mtpa of DR-grade concentrate. Discussions
with potential joint venture and strategic partners are ongoing to fund and
de-risk this phase of development.
PRIVATE INVESTMENTS, PASSIVE
Sonora Lithium Project, Mexico
Interest - 30% at 30/06/2025
Cadence holds a 30% interest in the joint venture companies Mexalit S.A. de
C.V. and Megalit S.A. de C.V., alongside majority partner Ganfeng Lithium
Group, in the Sonora Lithium Project, Mexico. The concessions historically
comprised nine licence areas, including El Sauz, Fleur, Buenavista, and San
Gabriel, with Ganfeng developing plans for an open pit mine and lithium
hydroxide processing facility.
In 2022 and 2023, Mexico amended its Mining Law to classify lithium as a
strategic resource reserved for the state. Despite expectations that
pre-existing concessions would remain valid, in August 2023 the General
Directorate of Mines cancelled nine concessions, including those held by
Mexalit and Megalit, citing alleged non-compliance with investment
obligations. Cadence and Ganfeng strongly refute these claims, having
demonstrated that required thresholds were met and exceeded.
In May 2024, Ganfeng initiated arbitration before the International Centre for
Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), challenging the cancellations and
broader legislative measures as violations of international law. In parallel,
Cadence has decided to pursue its own international arbitration under the
UK-Mexico Bilateral Investment Treaty, ensuring independent protection of its
legal and economic rights.
Cadence believes the actions of the Mexican authorities amount to unlawful
expropriation, denial of fair and equitable treatment, and breaches of due
process. The Company remains fully committed to safeguarding its 30% interest
in Sonora and to pursuing all available remedies to protect shareholder value.
PUBLIC INVESTMENTS
Evergreen Lithium Limited (ASX: EG1)
Interest - 5.1% at 30/06/2025
During the six months to June 2025, Evergreen pivoted its exploration strategy
following mixed results at its Bynoe Lithium Project in the Northern
Territory. While drilling confirmed pegmatite bodies, assays did not identify
commercial lithium mineralisation, leading to a $12.5m impairment and a
decision to limit further lithium exploration at Bynoe. Exploration did,
however, highlight gold-bearing structures, which will be the focus of
follow-up work.
In May 2025 Evergreen completed the acquisition of the Leonora Goldfields
Project in Western Australia, containing a JORC-compliant 63,000oz inferred
resource. Initial mapping and site work are defining drill targets with the
aim of expanding the resource base, firmly repositioning Evergreen toward the
gold sector. Subsequent to the period end Cadence disposed of its interest in
Evergreen Lithium.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
During the period the Group made a loss before taxation of £0.841 million (6

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost convention.
The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The
Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024
have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on
those financial statements was unqualified.
The principal accounting policies of the Group are consistent with those
detailed in the 31 December 2024 financial statements, which are prepared
under the historical cost convention and in accordance with UK adopted
International Accounting Standards (IAS).
GOING CONCERN
The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period ending 30
September 2026. The forecasts demonstrate that the Group has sufficient funds
to allow it to continue in business for a period of at least twelve months
from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the
accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting
accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual
results
2 SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Company operates a single primary activity to invest in businesses so as
to generate a return for the shareholders.
3 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of the earnings per share is based on the loss attributable to

BORROWINGS
During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company entered into a Mezzanine
Loan Facility to finance its investment in the Amapá Project.
The Mezzanine Loan Facility ("Loan Facility") involves an unconditional and
committed initial tranche by the Investors of US$ 2 million and a further
conditional Loan Facility amount of US$ 8 million, subject to agreement by the
Investors. The Loan Facility is valid for three years.
The First Tranche of US$ 2 million, drawn down in 2023, has a 24-month term
("Maturity Date"). It has a six-month principal repayment holiday, followed by
18 equal monthly cash repayments thereafter to the maturity Date. The Loan
Facility has an effective annual interest rate of 9.5% and has a 5%
implementation on the value of the First Tranche.
If the Company elects not to settle a monthly payment in cash (each being a
"Missed Payment"), they will automatically grant a right for the Missed
Payment to be settled in shares as per the non-cash repayment terms contained
in the Loan Facility Agreement ("Non-Cash Repayment"). Following a Non-Cash
Repayment, the Investors will be automatically granted conversion rights over
such principal and interest balances due concerning the Missed Payment. The
Investors will then have the right for 12 months to convert such amounts
either at a price equal to 12.7 pence (representing a 30% premium to the
closing price on 25/05/2023) or at a 7% discount to the average of the five
daily VWAPs chosen by the Investors in the 20 trading days preceding its
conversion notice or at the price the Company issues further equity if lower
than the existing conversion price.
Cadence has provided a security package to the Investors as part of the Loan
Facility. This package includes a floating charge over the Company's
investments, placing its holding in European Metals Holdings into escrow and
the issue of new ordinary shares to the Investors ("Initial Issued Shares").
