AIM - LOSERS

Cadence Minerals PLC, down 40% at 1.65p, 12-month range 1.65p-5.75p. Conditionally agrees to a letter of intent with Hesperian Metals SL to invest in and acquire up to 40% of two prospective tungsten, antimony, and gold exploration packages in Spain and Portugal. Says it will fund the investments through a placing with mainly institutional investors for gross proceeds of £1 million. Says the exploration tenement packages include the Pompeya project in Spain, a potential source of tungsten which ‘covers a sizeable former mining province’. The other tenement package, the Sarzedaz project, contains several old mine workings prospective for antimony, tungsten and gold near Castelo Branco in eastern Portugal. Chief Executive Officer Kiran Morzaria says Cadence is ‘mindful of the changing macro landscape and our priority to ensure...maximum exposure to the critical minerals needed for energy and technology markets. As such, we are excited by the potential opportunity with the Pompeya and Sarzeda projects, particularly given the increasing importance of tungsten as a strategic raw material.’
