"We welcome Glencore as a shareholder and are pleased that our efforts to build a portfolio of nickel - copper sulphide projects in Tier 1 jurisdictions has been recognized and endorsed by an industry leader. We believe this transaction highlights the deep discount to fundamental value and strategy that PDM's shares represent.
"By utilizing its financial resources and expertise Palladium One will continue to execute its strategy of maximizing exposure to critical minerals on a per share basis.
"We look forward to working with Glencore's exploration team to advance our common exploration and development goals," commented Derrick Weyrauch, Chief Executive Officer of PDM.
"We are very pleased to become a cornerstone investor in Palladium One. The management team has been able to put together a sizeable land package focused on critical minerals. The exploration results to date have been very encouraging and we look forward to working with Palladium One to build on the success the team has had to date," commented Wayne Ashworth, Head of Nickel Assets for Glencore.
