Corporate Update - Evergreen Lithium (ASX: EG1) Uncovers Additional Large Lithium Pegmatite Targets at Bynoe

Cadence Minerals (AIM: KDNC; OTC: KDNCY) is pleased to note that ASX listed Evergreen Lithium Limited ("Evergreen") (ASX: EG1) has announced that the last of its Phase 3 geochemical soil sampling results from the Bynoe Project in the Northern Territory have been received. The results further confirm the likely presence of LCT pegmatites within the Bynoe lease. Of further interest is another anomalous zone to the east of those outlined in previous announcements (14/03/24 & 30/11/23). The latest new target area in the east of the tenement further demonstrating the potential for additional lithium spodumene mineralisation in the Bynoe pegmatite field, and within EverGreen's 231 square km of tenure.

Highlights:

·      EverGreen's final Phase 3 geochemical sample results continues to build on positive results at Central Bynoe.

·      Assay results from 1,174 soil samples received reflect similar large-scale lithium trends to those previously identified.

·      Additional large scale lithium pegmatite targets identified.

·      Planned work programs for 2024 include auger, RAB/AC and RC drilling testing geochemical and geophysical anomalies with potential follow-up diamond drilling.

Evergreen Exploration Manager Andrew Harwood commented: "These final soil results add to the picture that the Bynoe Project has great LCT pegmatite potential. Yet another soil anomalous area to the east is a significant outcome for the company. Using a variety of proven exploration tools such as auger, RAB and RC drilling, the team is looking forward to the upcoming exploration season to further test the potential of the project."
