Palladium One Discovery Indicates Significant Mineralization Potential at the Disraeli PGE Project


December 9, 2020



December 9, 2020 – Toronto, Ontario – A new high-resolution drone magnetic survey discovery has outlined a significant magnetic signature, a key indicator of mineralization in the Mid-Continental Rift (“MCR”), where the Disraeli PGE Project is located, in Ontario, Canada said Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSX-V: PDM, FRA: 7N11, OTC: NKORF) (the "Company" or “Palladium One”) today. The magnetic survey (“Mag”) outlined a large, reversely polarized, magnetic body coincident with AeroTEM electromagnetic (“EM”) anomalies.

“Reversely polarized magnetic bodies are very important indicators of mineralization within the Mid-Continental Rift as demonstrated by nearby palladium-platinum-nickel-copper mineral deposits and mines, which are in part, reversely polarized. The target is high-grade PGE-rich nickel-copper mineralization located within magma conduits similar to Clean Air Metals Inc.’s Thunder Bay North (“TBN”) and Escape Lake deposits.” said Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.

“Disraeli’s Hook Bay zone is clearly a more primitive portion of the greater Disraeli intrusion. The presence of airborne EM conductors coincident with a reversely polarized magnetic body, something that does not occur at TBN, suggests the potential for semi or even massive sulphides. Rare massive sulphide intercepts at TBN have returned impressive grades such 98 g/t PGE (52.8 g/t Pd, 41.5 g/t Pd, 3.9 g/t Au), 3.3% Ni, and 11.6% Cu over 2.6 meters in hole BL10-197 (see Magma Metals Limited News Release February 15, 2010). These grades reflect the very high metal tenor of the sulphides, which is the hallmark of the PGE-rich mineralization in the Nipigon Plate portion of the Mid-Continent Rift.” commented Weyrauch.

An exploration drill permit has been received and the Company plans to drill Disraeli in February 2021, pending winter ice conditions.

Disraeli is located 40 kilometers north of Clean Air Metals Inc’s TBN project and only 50 kilometers east from Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd’s (“Implats”) Lac Des Iles palladium Mine (Figure 1 and 2)

The Eagle Mine operated by Lundin Mining hosts a Measured and Indicated Resource of 4.6 million tonnes grading 3.7% Ni, 3.1% Cu, 0.9 g/t Pt, 0.7 g/t Pd (2017 Lundin NI 43-101 report).

Preliminary Analysis:

The West Nipigon Lineament (Figure 2), is believed to be a control structure for the emplacement of the TBN (Clean Air Metals Inc.), Seagull (Quadro Resources Ltd.), and Disraeli intrusions and is prospective for additional magma conduits such as those found at TBN and Escape Lake.
The high-resolution drone magnetic survey identified a very strong, reversely polarized magnetic body beneath the southeast bay (Hook Bay) of Disraeli Lake. (Figure 3 and 4).
Reversely Polarized rocks are a key indicator for early mafic-ultramafic intrusives associated with PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization in the Mid-Continent Rift. Portions of the nearby TBN, Escape Lake, Sunday Lake (Implats), and Marathon (Generation Mining) deposits are also reversely polarized.
The reversely polarized Hook Bay magnetic body is coincident with several AeroTEM EM anomalies that were outlined by a previous operator in 2011 and 2014 but were never drill tested (Figure 4 and 5).
The presence of airborne AeroTEM EM anomalies suggest the possibility of not only disseminated mineralization but also semi massive or even massive sulphides.
A lake sediment survey conducted in 2020 has shown a consistently greater ultramafic signature beneath Hook Bay compared to the rest of the Disraeli Lake. Ultramafic rocks were also observed along the western shore of Hook Bay. All of which point to this area being a much more primitive part of the Disraeli intrusion, and hence potentially close to the magma conduit which fed the intrusion.
The Disraeli intrusion has seen much less exploration than adjacent intrusions in the Nipigon Plate, only 8 holes have been drilled on the property, and none have tested beneath Disraeli Lake. There is a precedent for magma conduits being located beneath lakes. Both TBN and Escape Lake magma conduits occur beneath the Current and Steepledge lakes, respectively.

Target Model:

High-grade PGE-rich Ni-Cu mineralization located within magma conduits similar to Clean Air Metals Inc.’s Thunder Bay North and Escape Lake deposits.

Palladium One Discovers 4 Meters of Massive Magmatic Sulphides, Near Surface, at Tyko




December 7, 2020 – Toronto, Ontario – Discovery success has been achieved with the first two drill holes of the 2020 Tyko drill program. At less than 30 meters true-depth, a 4-meter and a 2-meter wide drill intercept of massive magmatic sulphide was discovered at the Smoke Lake airborne electromagnetic (“EM”) target said Palladium One Mining (“Palladium One” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PDM, FRA: 7N11, OTC: NKORF) today.

Key Highlights:

Ground-based EM surveys have identified two near-surface, closely spaced conductors, the largest of which has a strike length of over 300 meters.
Hole TK-20-016 intersected 4 meters of massive magmatic sulphides from 29 to 33 meters down hole.
Hole TK-20-015, drilled from the same drill pad, intersected 2 meters of massive magmatic sulphides from 31 to 32 meters down hole.
Drone-based Magnetic (“Mag”) surveying has identified a strong Mag bullseye associated with soil anomalies (up to 565 ppm nickel and greater than 40 times background levels) representing the surface expression of the EM anomaly.
The initial drill holes along with new Mag and EM surveys suggest a shallow southwest dipping massive sulphide body which plunges to the west-northwest.

President and CEO, Derrick Weyrauch commented, “We are extremely pleased with the first two holes at Smoke Lake! This is the first occurrence of massive sulphides on the Tyko project. Given disseminated sulphides produced over 1% nickel in other zones on the project, we have high expectations for this new zone and are eagerly awaiting assay results.”

These are the first drill holes to test the Smoke Lake EM anomaly (see press release January 21, 2020). The 2020 field exploration program confirmed the soil anomaly and discovered nickel-copper sulphide mineralized boulders (up to 0.41% nickel) down ice of the EM anomaly (see press release November 18, 2020). Recent high-resolution drone-based magnetic and ground-based horizontal loop EM surveys further defined the anomaly resulting in the successful discovery of massive magmatic sulphides in the current drill program.

The lithologies in the first two holes closely resemble those found at both the Tyko and RJ showings, located 17-kilometers to the west, which have returned up to 1.06% Ni and 0.35% Cu over 6.22 m including 4.71% Ni and 0.82% Cu over 0.87m in hole TK-16-010 (see press release June 8, 2016).
