Southern Palladium (ASX: SPD, "Southern Palladium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its quarterly activities summary for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company's primary focus is the advancement of its exploration programme at the Bengwenyama PGM (platinum group metals) project, in which it holds a direct 70% stake.

Following its successful ASX listing, Southern Palladium is well-funded to accelerate a multi-phase exploration programme at Bengwenyama, which already contains at Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 18.8Moz (3PGE+Au). The Company is led by an experienced on-ground management team including some of South Africa's experienced mining industry executives.

Bengwenyama PGM Project

The Bengwenyama project is a large shallow advance exploration and predevelopment Platinum Group Metal ("PGM") opportunity situated on the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa.

Detailed planning and community engagement initiatives continue to progress well, ahead of the two- phase drilling programmes at the Bengwenyama PGM project. Key project elements underway include property access, employment initiatives, tender processes and exploration related construction projects, in accordance with benchmarks agreed with the Bengwenyama community and in accordance with management's long-term development strategy.

Pre-drilling activities

The Company announced the successful completion of a high-definition,helicopter-borne Total Magnetic Field (TMF) gradient and gamma-ray spectrometry survey at Bengwenyama.

The TMF data confirmed the previous structural models for two ore horizons -- the UG2 chromitite and Merensky Reef -- which forms the framework of the 18.8Moz Inferred Mineral Resource.

The imaging data also confirmed an absence of anomalous (Loss of Reef) features in the target area for the Company's pending phase 1 drill programme.

In that context, the results helped underpin confidence in the existing geological structure of the reef upon which the Phase 1 drilling programme has been planned.

September Quarter Planned Activities

Phase 1 drilling programme

Key activities in the September quarter will be highlighted by the commencement of the Phase 1 drilling programme, which will comprise a 63-hole (~24,500m) diamond drill programme scheduled to commence in August 2022. The programme will target the shallowest PGM ore zones less than 500 m below surface which are within the project area of interest .

Preparations at the site are underway after the Company awarded a drill contract to Geomech Africa (Pty) Ltd, following a successful tender process.

Contractor GeoMech has set out its laydown area to commence drilling within the newly- constructed security fence

Geological services will be provided by Minxcon (Pty) Ltd ('Minxcon'), an established mining and exploration consultancy based in South Africa. Minxcon will manage the drilling programme for the Company

The primary focus of Phase 1 drilling is the UG2 horizon at depths of less than 500m (see shaded area in Figure 2 over-page). The drilling will commence on a wider grid spacing and thereafter work toward a closer spaced grid.

This will allow for changes in the drilling programme should the need arise. However, major changes to the programme are not expected following the results of the heliborne magnetic survey.

The Phase 1 programme is designed to support the preparation of a Scoping and Pre-Feasibility Studies at Bengwenyama, which are expected to form the basis of a submission for a Mining Right Application.

Consulting company Minxcon will commence with a Concept Study to increase the understanding on the UG2 and also test the Merensky Reef viability under the currently improved PGM price environment.
