Palladium One CEO, Derrick Weyrauch, commented: "We are thrilled to complete this financing which positions the Company for a very active start to 2023 at our Green Transportation copper-nickel-PGE properties. Although the global financing markets have been challenging, we increased our initial Brokered Offering from $3.0 million to a successful $4.2 million raise. We are thankful for our existing shareholders and welcome our new shareholders through this financing."

As compensation, the Agents received a cash fee in an amount equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Brokered Offering. Additionally, the Agents received non-transferable broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of FT Units sold under the Brokered Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Broker Unit Warrant") at an exercise price of $0.14 for a period of 24 months. Each Broker Unit Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Warrant Share at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 36 months.

No fees were paid with respect to the Non-Brokered Offering.
