Cadence Minerals PLC’s (LON:KDNC) investee company Auroch Minerals has significantly expanded its footprint across the Arden and Bonaventura projects in South Australia.
The new licences, which increase the exploration tenure at the projects by 55%, are considered highly-prospective for base-metals and add momentum to Auroch's aggressive exploration programmes, with drilling already underway at both Arden and Bonaventura.

The two projects now encompass a total of 2,079 square kilometres within the Adelaide Geosyncline.
“Auroch CEO Aidan Platel and his team continue to blaze a trail at both Arden and Bonaventura projects, the quality and potential of which is already well documented,” said Cadence chief executive Kiran Morzaria.
“Expanding the project area by 55% and adding these new licenses adds considerable scope for additional discoveries and further underpins the potential of these world-class assets.”
