Palladium One Reports Infill Drill Results Between the Kaukua Open Pit Resource and Kaukua South, Finland

Research, News, and Market Data on Palladium One Mining

January 20, 2021 – Toronto, Ontario. Infill drilling in the Gap Zone has resulted in a better understanding and a new geological model for the area. Gap Zone drill results include 2.2 g/t Pd_Eq over 4.4 meters, within 1.3 g/t Pd_Eq over 21.6 meters, in hole LK21-209 starting at 138 meters down hole (Figure 1), said Palladium One Mining Inc. (“Palladium One” or the “Company”).

Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO commented: “We have made significant progress infilling the area between the Kaukua Open Pit Resource and Kaukua South. Though Gap Zone mineralization is thinner, it could play a significant role in joining Kaukua and Kaukua South into one larger and more efficient Open Pit mine.”

The Greater Kaukau area is now subdivide into three blocks separated by northeast trending faults (Figure 1, 2 and 3), Kaukua Open Pit, Gap Zone, and Kaukua South. These blocks though closely related geologically, differ in their orientation, and thickness of mineralization. Kaukua Open Pit and Kaukua South both dip to the south and posses core zones with thickness in excess of 100 meters, whereas the Gap Zone, which dips west, demonstrates mineralization thicknesses in the 10-20 meter range. All three fault blocks contain Upper Zone mineralization while the width separating the Upper and Lower Zones varies in each fault block.

Figure 1. Historic and current drilling in the Kaukua area having a drill data cut-off date of September 30, 2021 (hole LK21-137), assays have been received for holes up to LK21-120, the remainder are pending. Background is Induced Polarization (“IP”) Chargeability.

* Pd_Eq calculated using in-situ values and prices from the 2021 NI43-101 Haukiaho Mineral Resource Estimate; $1,600/oz Pd, $1,100/oz Pt, $1,650/oz Au, $3.50 Cu, and $7.50/lb Ni, and $20/lb Co. Limited historical metallurgical work on the Kaukua Deposit indicates final recoveries in the range of 73% Pd, 56% Pt, 78% Au, 91% Cu, 48% Ni and 48% Co and are used in the Estimated Recovered Pd_Eq grade calculation.

Palladium Equivalent

The Company is calculating Palladium equivalent using US$1,600 per ounce for palladium, US$1,100 per ounce for platinum, US$1,650 per ounce for gold, US$3.50 per pound for copper, US$7.50 per pound for nickel, and $20 per pound cobalt consistent with the calculation used in the Company’s September 2021 NI 43-101 Haukiaho Resource Estimate.
