2534: Cadence Minerals joins the ranks of the producers
Cadence Minerals has received the operating licence for its Azteca iron ore plant in Brazil, meaning it is now permitted to begin production. Subject to the delivery of a final tranche of previously-agreed non-dilutive funding Cadence will now ramp up production at Azteca in short order, with the aim of hitting a rate of 380,000 tonnes.

Cadence’s chief executive Kiran Morzaria joins Vox to tell us what happens next.
