TORONTO, ON, Dec 03, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (OTCQB: NKORF) (FSE: 7N11) (the "Company" or "Palladium One") is pleased to announce that it has increased the previously announced brokered private placement from $3 million to $4.2 million.

The Company will issue up to 21,000,000 units on a charity flow-through basis (the "Charity FT Units") at a price of $0.20 per Charity FT Unit (the "Charity FT Issue Price") for gross proceeds of up to $4,200,000 ("Offering"). Each Charity FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Charity FT Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Charity FT Warrant"), and each Charity FT Share and Charity FT Warrant will be issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each Charity FT Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one non flow-through Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance thereof. The Charity FT Units will be offered for sale to purchasers in all the provinces and territories of Canada (other than Quebec) in reliance on the listed issuer financing exemption available in Part 5A.2 National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106") and will not be subject to any statutory hold periods.

The Offering will be led by Echelon Capital Markets ("Echelon", the "Lead Agent") and along with Sprott Capital Partners LP and Research Capital Corporation (collectively "Agents"). As compensation, the Agents will be entitled to a cash fee in an amount equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Offering. In addition, the Agents will receive non-transferable warrants (the "Broker Warrants") exercisable at any time prior to the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date to acquire that number of units (each comprised of one common share and one-half of one warrant with an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 36 months) which is equal to 6.0% of the number of Charity FT Units sold under the Offering at an exercise price equal to $0.14.

In addition, the Company's non-brokered flow-through unit financing ("FT Units") to be issued at unit price ("FT Unit Price") remains unchanged.

There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.palladiumoneinc.com. Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision.

An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Units and Charity FT Units will be used to incur, on the Company's Canadian mineral exploration properties, Canadian exploration expenses that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and that will also qualify as "eligible Ontario exploration expenditures" within the meaning of subsection 103(4) of the Taxation Act, 2007 (Ontario) (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures"). The Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred on or before December 31, 2023 and will be renounced by the Corporation to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2022 to the initial purchasers of the FT Units and Charity FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Units and Charity FT Units. In the event that the Corporation is unable to renounce the FT Issue Price and Charity FT Issue Price on or prior to December 31, 2022 for each FT Unit and Charity FT Unit purchased and/or if the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Corporation will as sole recourse for such failure to renounce, indemnify each FT Unit and Charity FT Unit subscriber for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber to the extent permitted by the Income Tax Act (Canada) as a result of the Corporation's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.

The Offering and the Non-Brokered Offering are expected to close on or about December 20, 2022, or such other date or dates as the Company and the Lead Underwriter may agree (the "Closing Date") and are subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the applicable securities regulatory authorities.
