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.
