Interview with Kiran Morzaria, CEO, Cadence MineralsRecording date: 5th September, 2025Cadence Minerals presents one of the mining sector's most compelling valuation disconnects, trading at a £10 million market capitalization while holding 35% ownership in Brazil's Amapá iron ore project valued at $1.97 billion NPV. The AIM-listed diversified investment company operates what may be one of the most undervalued mining assets in the current market.The Amapá project stands apart through its fully integrated infrastructure, encompassing mine, railway concession, and port facilities under single ownership. This rare configuration enables the company to target production of 5.5 million tons annually of premium 67.5% Fe grade direct reduction pellets with exceptionally low operating costs of $27 per ton FOB. The integrated supply chain provides both cost leadership and potential third-party revenue streams, with the railway historically carrying 700,000 tons of external material.CEO Kiran Morzaria emphasizes the infrastructure advantage: "One of the reasons that we can keep this low is because we own our own port. We have effectively a renewable concession on the railway, which will renew every 23 years." This positioning allows competitive delivery to China at $55-60 CFR, maintaining profitability even under pessimistic pricing scenarios.The investment thesis centers on two key catalysts. The immediate opportunity involves restarting the Azteca plant with just $3.5 million investment to generate 330,000-390,000 tons annually within nine months, providing cash flow and operational validation. Longer-term value creation requires securing strategic partnerships to access the $370 million capital needed for full-scale development.The company's brownfield advantage, premium product quality, and defensive cost structure position it favorably against market volatility. However, execution depends critically on partnership arrangements, making this a high-leverage play on management's ability to attract suitable joint venture partners while demonstrating operational capability through near-term production.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cadence-minerals-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The Garage Hour: home of microaggressions (plus the other kind) - your favorite gearhead goons got lost in the good stuff (Collegiate Mountains above Salida, Poncha Springs, Buena Vista and St. Elmo) and their trucks will never be the same.  Cohosts White Mark the Diversity Hire and the Walkin' Dude came along, and dragged FOB cohosts Papa Smurf and Mike the Gimp along for the fracas.  Trails?  Tomichi Pass and Hancock Pass (so many rocks), the Bonanza Mine complex (so many options), Mt. Antero (so many feet above sea level), Taylor Mountain (so many llamas), and Billings Lake (so many free beers)...  On the way up and down, new Ineos Grenaders were dropped on old rocks, old 4Runners climbed some new obstacles, an Extreme Outback toolbox compressor got a cohosting credit, and an e-Jeep almost drove itself off a cliff.  See more at "JFSummit3" on Instaspam. Along the way, many sidelong awesomes occurred: Sammy Davis Jr. and the "Cannonball Run", Charlie Daniels and the Beau Weevils, illegal ham and some Bad Fangs, a sweet StayinSalida rental won the cabin versus tent argument, and somebody decided to buy some new shocks.
