Palladium One (PDM) - Critical Minerals Company Accessing US Market
Jun 25, 2022
Interview with Derrick Weyrauch, President & CEO of Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSX-V:PDM) $NKORF
Our previous interview: https://youtu.be/YS1UunLA-PY
Palladium One Mining Inc. is an exploration stage critical minerals company with assets in both Finland and North America. The company aims to position itself to be a part of the critical mineral sector and provide the expanding green transportation industry. The Läntinen Koillismaa (LK) project of the company is a platinum group element (PGE), nickel and copper project located in north-central Finland and is 100% owned by Palladium One Mining Inc. The Tyko property of the company is a nickel and copper project located in Northwestern Ontario. The newly acquired Canalask Property is a nickel, copper and PGE project located in the Whitehorse Mining District of the Yukon.
The company announced at the start of June 2022 that it had initiated exploration drilling at the Bulldozer intrusion at its Tyko Property. The company also announced that it had received the Induced Polarization (IP) results of its conducted winter geophysical program. The IP results show 4 IP chargeability anomalies at the Bulldozer intrusion and 2 IP chargeability anomalies at the Smoke Lake intrusion of the project. The company is underway with securing the remaining two critical mineral exploration permits covering the Smoke Lake and Cupa Lake concessions of the project.
Palladium One Mining Inc. also announced in June 2022 that it had acquired the Canalask nickel, copper and PGE property from Victoria Gold Corp. The Canalask Property is a 3,400-hectare land package consisting of 179 quartz claims and little historical exploration drilling. The property includes highlights such as numerous high-grade showings, with drill-ready targets, the strong potential for massive nickel sulphide mineralization and a historical mineral resource estimate of 400,000 tons of mineralisation at a grade of 1.35% nickel.

Palladium One Acquires the Canalask Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, Yukon, Canada
June 13, 2022
$NKORF
HIGHLIGHTS
Numerous high-grade showings
Strong potential for massive nickel sulphide mineralization
Hosts both magmatic Norilsk “feeder type” mineralization and epigenic “footwall-type” deposit
Drill ready targets
Historic Mineral Resource Estimate, 400,000 tonnes at 1.35% nickel
Excellent access from adjoining Alaska Highway
Proximal to multiple communities
June 13, 2022 – Toronto, Ontario – Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSX-V: PDM, OTCQB: NKORF, FRA: 7N11) (the "Company" or “Palladium One”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Canalask Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, located beside the Alaska Highway in Yukon, Canada (the "Canalask Property"), from Victoria Gold Corporation (the "Vendor").
Palladium One’s geological team, which is comprised of functional experts in sulphide nickel-copper-PGE deposits, has recognized another over-looked, under explored prospect. With a historical resource estimate dating back to 1968, a top nickel producer, Falconbridge Ltd., initiated exploration activities at Canalask in 2006, however, Xstrata plc’s acquisition of Falconbridge in late 2006 curtailed exploration and the project has had limited exploration since then. The vendor, Victoria Gold, held the project since 2009 and focused its efforts on successfully bringing its Eagle Gold mine into production.
The known occurrences at Canalask are hosted in the White River mafic-ultramafic complex, which hosts other nickel-PGE deposits including the past-producing Wellgreen mine. The prospective horizon extends for more than 10 kms on the newly acquired property.
“The Palladium One team recognizes that the area explored represents a small portion of what is clearly an extensive and highly prospective system capable of hosting a major deposit. Canalask complements the massive sulphide Tyko Project in Ontario, where exploration drilling is currently underway. With $14 million of cash on hand as at March 31, 2022 the Company remains well-funded to add value to its projects.”, commented Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.
Transaction Details
The Canalask Property was acquired through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and structured as an asset acquisition with consideration as follows:
$25,000 shall be payable in cash on Closing.
$200,000 shall be payable in common shares of the Company on Closing.
The Vendor shall retain a 2% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty, with the Company retaining a 50% buyback right.
Contingent consideration includes:
$2,000,000 will be paid to the Vendor upon the earlier of (A) the publication of a Feasibility Study, or (B) the Commencement of Commercial Production; and
$5,000,000 will be paid to the Vendor upon the commencement of commercial production on the Canalask Property.
Completion of the transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Canalask Property
The Canalask Property is located within the Whitehorse Mining District, approximately 300 kilometers northwest of Whitehorse, Yukon and is accessible from the Alaska Highway near Beaver Creek. The Canalask Property consists of a contiguous block of 179 quartz claims covering an approximate area of 3,400 hectares.
Exploration on the project dates to the 1950’s when the Canalask footwall zone was originally discovered, drilled and partially developed. A Historical resource estimate on the Main Zone is quoted at 400,000 tonnes at 1.35% Nickel by Discovery Mines Ltd. in 1968 (Yukon Assessment Report 094599). Early Metallurgical floatation test work returned concentrate grades as high as 19.7% Nickel (Yukon Assessment Report 093256). Exploration continued on the project up to the early 2000’s through a series of surface programs including geochemical surveys, geological mapping and geophysics. During these campaigns numerous high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE showings, such 4.7% Nickel, 0.6% Cu and 6.82 g/t PGE in grade samples at the Discovery zone (Yukon Assessment Report 094599), were discovered along the length of the ultramafic-mafic body. In 2006 Xstrata completed a NI-43-101 Technical Report (Yukon Assessment Report 094599) on the project. Readers are cautioned that the Company has not verified the Historical Mineral Resource Estimate and therefore the data should not be relied upon.
Geology Overview
The Canalask Property covers the lateral extent of the northwest – southeast striking, steeply dipping “White River Intrusive Complex” (WRIC), which is part of the larger Kluane Mafic-Ultramafic Belt. The Kluane belt extends from northern British Columbia to east-central Alaska, within the Pennsylvanian to Triassic Wrangellia Terrane volcanics and sediments. The belt is host to numerous nickel-copper +/- platinum-palladium deposits and prospects, most notably the past producing Wellgreen Deposit, now held by Nickel Creek Platinum Corp., approximately 110 kilometers to the south. The WRIC occurs as a sill-like body of ultramafic and mafic rocks 100 to 150 meters thick and dipping approximately 50 degrees to the southwest. The northern margin of the WRIC represents the basal footwall contact zone while the southern margin delineates the upper hanging wall intrusive contact. The intrusion itself is dominantly composed of peridotite and dunite with a mineralized basal gabbro zone.
The WRIC is a favourable setting for magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralization as it is considered a “feeder system” with a high volume of magma flow. As evidenced by the abundance of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE showings at the base of the WRIC and the discovery of the Ni-rich Canalask footwall deposit, the project hosts strong potential for both “magmatic feeder-type” basal deposits and “epigenetic footwall-type” footwall deposits. The geological setting draws comparison to the world-class Norilsk Ni-Cu-PGE camp.
Note:
The Company has not attempted to verify the historic mineral resource estimate and therefore readers should not place any reliance on the historical estimate.

Matthew Gordon spoke with Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO of Palladium One Mining (TSX-V: PDM) to discuss the global Palladium market, especially in the light of the currently planned sanctions against Russia.
Our previous interview: https://youtu.be/ffKMGTI4u30
Palladium One Mining Inc. is a Platinum Group Element (“PGE”) green energy metals focused company operating in tier 1 jurisdictions. The company boast a highly experienced management team with vast amounts of mining experience. The assets of Palladium One are comprised of the Läntinen Koillismaa (LK) project in north-central Finland and the Tyko Property located near Ontario Canada. The company boasts a diverse asset base with an approximate 50/50 split between battery metals such as cobalt, copper and nickel and precious metals such as palladium, platinum, and gold.
Weyrauch believes that the global palladium market will continue to experience extreme volatility in the foreseeable future. The global Palladium market is very small when compared to other mineral markets, with the global mined amount per annum being only 7 million ounces. The global palladium market is primarily controlled by Russia and South Africa, which are each responsible for 40% of the world’s palladium supply. South Africa is another challenged jurisdiction due to its political climate.
Weyrauch further believes that due to the use of palladium in catalytic converters of vehicle exhaust systems, the international community is hesitant to completely shut down 40% of the global supply. He believes that a dedicated palladium mining industry is required, to ensure supply security in the future.
Weyrauch believes that Palladium One Mining Inc. is well-positioned to meet the impending global demand, due to it only operating in stable jurisdictions. The Russia-Ukraine geopolitical situation, the possible reduction in palladium supply from South Africa and no viable alternatives for palladium in the automotive sector will only add to the minerals scarcity in the future.

Red-hot nickel, copper and palladium bodes well for Palladium One
$NKORF
The current commodity price surge puts Palladium One Mining (TSXV:PDM, OTC:NKORF, FSE:7N11) in the driver’s seat, as it embarks on its next phase of exploration.
By giving investors exposure to palladium and nickel, primarily, but also copper, cobalt and platinum, PDM ranks, in AOTH’s opinion, as one of the best energy metal exploration companies.
And at just CAD$0.25 a share, it is also, in our view, among the most undervalued.
Palladium One is fortunate to have a palladium focus at its LK project in Finland. If it becomes a mine, LK could supply the PGE raw materials for gas-powered catalytic converters expected to serve as a bridge between fossil-fueled internal combustion engines and all-electrics. And Palladium is expected to play a major role in the hydrogen economy, read more below.

By Bharat Gautam
March 14 (Reuters) - Palladium slumped more than 10% on Monday, erasing the bulk of a rally that had taken it to record highs during the Ukraine crisis as supply worries eased. Amid cautious hopes for progress in peace talks, gold also fell more than 1%. Autocatalyst metal palladium , of which Russia is the biggest producer, was down 9.3% at $2,555.46 per ounce by 1102 GMT, facing its biggest daily percentage drop in at least nine months. It fell as much as 11.1% earlier in the session. Tentative hopes of progress in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia lifted equity markets on Monday. Ukraine said it had begun "hard" talks on a ceasefire, immediate withdrawal of troops and security guarantees with Russia after both sides reported rare progress at the weekend. [MKTS/GLOB] "Palladium over-reacted in the first place." StoneX analyst Rhona O'Connell said. "The rally we've seen has been built on straw, rather than on concrete." There was no clear supply disruption and very little industrial demand, she added.
Russian mining giant Nornickel's biggest shareholder told Russian RBC TV on Saturday the group has managed to secure alternative routes for its palladium deliveries even as it faced significant logistics constraints.
A market authority said last week that Russian refiners can continue to sell platinum and palladium in top hub London.
Platinum dropped 3.7% to $1,039.85. Spot gold was down 1.2% at $1,962.01 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures shed 1% to $1,964.00.
While there is a risk-on mood across major markets, "I wouldn't call this (the recent rally) the peak in gold just yet, because this (Ukraine) situation is still uncertain. It's so fluid," Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke said.
Menke also said short-term speculative traders who bought gold due to the war were now possibly booking profits.
Also pressuring non-yielding bullion, benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields surged as the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates at a two-day event later this week. [US/]
Spot silver shed 2.3% to $25.20 per ounce.

$NKORF Palladium One Reports Final Assay Results for Kaukua South Drilling, Finland, returned 4.4 g/t Pd_Eq over 7.5 Meters within 2.6 g/t Pd_Eq over 49.3 Meters
February 7, 2022
Highlights
All assay results have been received for the greater Kaukua area, three Murtolampi Zone drill holes remain pending.
Final Kaukua South results include 4.4 g/t Palladium Equivalent (Pd_Eq) over 7.5 meters within 2.6 g/t Pd_Eq over 49.3 meters in hole LK21-122.
The Far Eastern IP Anomaly was tested with two holes both returning Upper and Lower Zone Kaukua-style PGE-Cu-Ni mineralization, up to 1.5 g/t Pd_Eq over 18.2 Meters in hole LK21-031.
The Far Eastern IP Anomaly is a high priority area for future resource expansion, and permitting in this area has been accelerated.
February 7, 2021 – Toronto, Ontario. Final assay results for Kaukua South are have been received, with intersection up to 4.4 g/t Pd_Eq over 7.5 meters, within 2.6 g/t Pd_Eq over 49.3 meters, in hole LK21-122 starting at 55 meters down hole (Figure 1), said Palladium One Mining Inc. (“Palladium One” or the “Company”).
Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO commented: “Resource definition drilling on Kaukua South has again produced stellar grades and widths. New mineralized zones continue to be discovered, as demonstrated with reconnaissance drilling on the Far East IP anomaly which returned Kaukua-style PGE-Cu-Ni mineralization having typical resource grades and widths. It is apparent that the Far East is the highest priority area for resource expansion in the greater Kaukua area, which hosts an approximately 6-kilometer long mineralized strike length.”
All assay for the greater Kaukua area, with the exception of three holes in the satellite Murtolampi Zone, have now been received (Figure 1, 2, 3). Resource modelling can now begin for the updated Kaukua mineral resource estimate, expected in Q1 2022.
The Far East IP anomaly (Figure 3) was tested with two drill holes which retuned up to 1.5 g/t Pd_Eq over 18.2 Meters in hole LK21-031 in the Lower Zone. Both holes also intersected the Upper Zone, confirming the same stratigraphy found in Kaukua South. The Upper Zone was also well mineralized returning 1.0 g/t Pd_Eq over 12.0 meters in hole LK21-131. It is now apparent that the Far East IP anomaly is simply a continuation of Kaukua South, which has now been drill tested over 4.5 kilometers and represents an excellent target for additional near surface resource expansion.
Drill pad location options for the Far East IP anomaly (holes LK21-130 & 131) were restricted due to the area’s tenure being an Exploration Permit application. Resource definition drilling of the Far East IP anomaly will require receipt of the Exploration Permit as the remaining target area is federally owned land and federal lands can only be drilled with an Exploration Permit.
Drill pad location options are even more restricted for the Western IP bullseye anomaly (Figure 1) and therefore it was only tested with one drill hole, LK21-129. This 401-meter hole was drilled in a suboptimal western direction due to the need to locate the drill pad on an existing Exploration Permit. The hole intersected primarily granophyric intermediate to felsic rock interpreted to be related to thermally altered felsic and intermediate volcanics which form the cap rock of the mafic-ultramafic Kollisamaa Complex. Portion of the granophyric rock contained abundant fine-grained magnetite which may be responsible for the strong chargeability IP response. The rock types intersected in hole LK21-129 suggest that this is the “roof” of the Kollisamaa Complex, indicating that there may be downfaulting along the northeast trending fault to the west of the Kaukua Pit area. Additional testing is planned for this anomaly with more optimal northern drilling directions.

Presumptions Of EV Adoption
Early during the week of January 17, 2022, Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA), the automotive conglomerate formed in 2021 by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and France’s PSA Group, made some comments in an interview with a number of European newspapers that appear to throw some degree of cold water on the pace of electric vehicle (EV) development in North America. This, coupled with the fairly modest size of the luxury car market in the U.S., could call into question the validity of the stock market’s lofty EV growth expectations.
Mr. Tavares’ main point seems to be that, across much of the world, “electrification is a technology chosen by politicians,” not by the auto industry and not necessarily by consumers. This notion may be at least partially validated by recently released car industry data. According to EV-volumes.com, full year 2021 EV unit sales in the U.S. totaled 656,866, equivalent to just 4.4% of the year’s total 14.9 million passenger vehicle sales.

Palladium Soars as Russia Tension Fuels Rush for Metal
Ukrainian troops (Stock Image)
Palladium price hit the highest in four months, with traders looking to secure supplies amid growing tensions over Ukraine as Russia, the top metal producer, amassed troops near the border.
The metal jumped 7.3% to $2,359.79 an ounce on Wednesday, having hit its highest since Sept. 8 at $2,382.82, extending this year’s rally to almost 25%. Platinum climbed 2.1% to $1,047.00.

Heraeus precious metals wrote in a note on Tuesday that palladium would “remain volatile this year as the market is finely balanced and any events which change supply or demand could shift the market further into surplus or into deficit.”
Tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine have heightened concerns supplies may be disrupted, according to Henrik Marx, global head of trading at Heraeus Metals Germany GmbH & Co.
It’s a sharp reversal in fortunes for palladium, which was the worst-performing major commodity in 2021. The impact of the semiconductor shortage on car production soured the demand outlook, causing prices to plummet in the second half of the year. Only iron ore, hit by China’s property market crisis, and silver have come close in terms of losses.

Palladium One Intersects Widest Intercept to Date Southwest of the Kaukua Open Pit Resource Estimate, Finland, 1.6 g/t Pd_Eq over 121 Meters
January 11, 2022
Highlights
Widest ore grade intercept to date, intersected 250 meters southwest and down plunge of the current Kaukua Open Pit Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”).
2.1 g/t Palladium Equivalent (Pd_Eq) over 33.5 meters, within 1.6 g/t Pd_Eq over 121.1 meters, in hole LK21-105, with individual samples grading up to 16.0 g/t Pd_Eq over 0.6 meters.
Three holes (LK21-101, 102 and 105), spread over 220-meters laterally, have all intersected the down plunge, high-grade 'Core Zone' of the current pit constrained Kaukua Open Pit.
High-grade 'Core Zone' of the Kaukua Open Pit remains open to depth.
January 11, 2021 – Toronto, Ontario, Initial down plunge drilling, has intersected the widest ore-grade intercept to date, southwest of the 2019 open-pit constrained MRE of the Kaukua Deposit. Hole LK21-105 intersected 2.1 g/t Pd_Eq over 33.5 meters, within 1.6 g/t Pd_Eq over 121.1 meters, starting at a true depth of approximately 260 meters (Figure 2), said Palladium One Mining Inc. (“Palladium One” or the “Company”).
Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO commented: “We have extended the 'Core Zone' of the Kaukua Deposit 250 beyond the current conceptual open-pit and hole LK21-105 is among the thickest intercepts to date within the Kaukua Deposit and adds significant tonnage to our existing resource endowment. The high-grade 'Core Zone' of the Kaukua Deposit remains open to the southwest for more expansion. An updated NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate is schedule for release in Q1 2022 and will incorporate these valuable results”
These drilling results extend a broad, >200-meter wide 'core zone' of mineralization 250-meters southwest of the existing conceptual open-pit, and it remains open for expansion (Figure 1 and 2, and 3). Importantly, the previous geological interpretations suggested that the Kaukua Deposit was cut-off by a northwest trending fault, occupying a distinct magnetic low and topographic lineament. Drilling has now demonstrated that the magnetic low is the result of a later cross cutting dyke (now referred to as the high-titanium gabbro dyke) and that the Kaukua Deposit remains open to the south. Significantly the high-grade 'Core Zone' of the Kaukua Deposit has been extended 250 meters to the southwest and we have encountered some of the thickest intercepts (>100m) to date within the deposit (see news release November 23, 2021).

Palladium Price Analysis: XPD/USD bears aim for 50-DMA during four-day downtrend
....................

Thanks

Palladium stays pressured around intraday low, keeps pullback from five-month-old resistance line.
50-DMA, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level limits immediate downside.
11-week-old horizontal line adds to the upside filters.
RSI retreat, failures to cross immediate hurdle signal for the downside.
Palladium (XPD/USD) fades bounce off intraday low, down 0.12% on a day around $1,919 during early Monday.
The precious metal rose to the highest since November 22 before stepping back from a five-month-long descending resistance line during the last week.
The pullback moves do gain support from the RSI retreat, which in turn directs the sellers towards a convergence of 50-DMA and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of May-December south-run, near $1,885.
It’s worth noting that September’s low surrounding $1,849 may offer an intermediate halt during the quote’s downside past $1,885 before the bears can aim for the $1,800 threshold.
Meanwhile, recovery moves need to cross the stated resistance line, around $1,965 at the latest, to recall the buyers.
Even so, the $2,000 psychological magnet and tops marked during October-November, near $2,180, will be tough resistances to cross for the XPD/USD bulls before retaking the controls.
