Canadian Palladium Resources Inc. (CSE: BULL) (OTCQB: DCNNF) (FSE: DCR1) is pleased to provide additional analytical results for diamond drill holes EB-20-25 to EB-20-31 on the East Bull Palladium Property, 90 kilometres west of Sudbury, Ontario.
The Company’s 10,000 m drill program is currently extending the Palladium Valhalla Zone resource down dip and towards the west. Interpretation of recent diamond drill core results is also assisting in defining the geological connection between the project’s Valhalla and Garden Zones.
Wayne Tisdale, Canadian Palladium’s CEO, commented, “These recent East Bull results are confirming our expectations – that the Valhalla Zone’s mineralization continues to the west. Our team of geologists are also looking forward to advancing their theses regarding the connectivity between the Valhalla and Garden Zones.”
All holes being reported intersected mineralized zones of greater than 1.0 grams per ton Palladium Equivalent ranging from 2 to 20 metres (Drill core length).

To date, the Company’s exploration team has drill tested just over half of the 3.2 km strike length of the 45o north dipping vari-textured gabbro unit which hosts the Palladium mineralization near the basal contact of the East Bull Gabbro. Drilling has successfully focused on testing the downdip extension of this “contact-type” mineralization. Such mineralization structures are typically tens of metres thick. To date all of the intercepts are shallow and within 150 m vertical depth from surface.
Drill hole intercepts for holes EB20-25 to -31 are reported in the following table. Drill hole locations are provided at the end of the release. A drill hole plan was reported in the October 21, 2020 Press Release (http://canadianpalladium.com).
