Palladium One Announces Response to COVID-19
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2020) -
Palladium One Mining Inc.
(
TSXV: PDM) (FSE: 7N11) (OTC Pink:
NKORF
) (the "
Company
" or "
Palladium One
") reports that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is suspending the current
exploration program at the palladium dominant, Läntinen Koillismaa ("LK") PGE-nickel-copper project located in Finland.
In response to escalating health concerns for our employees, their families and the communities in which we operate in, travel restrictions, and
a plea from the Canadian government for all Canadians to return home, the Company repatriated all Canadian staff on March 16, 2020 and
upon arrival they began a minimum 14-day quarantine period. The Company would like to thank the professionalism of its Finnish team during
these challenging times.
The Company's exploration program will conclude having completed the full 75-line kilometers of Induced Polarization (IP) and 385-line
kilometers of drone Magnetic geophysical surveys, and approximately 2,000-meters of the planned 5,000-meter diamond drilling program.
"The COVID-19 pandemic and it's repercussions are continuing to evolve. The duration of capital market volatility is unclear. Suspending our
exploration program early allows the Company to maintain a robust liquidity position. We will continue to monitor the situation and plan to
resume the exploration program when appropriate."
commented Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.
