PALISADES GOLDCORP ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OF EXCESS CASH INTO PHYSICAL BULLION

VANCOUVER, BC, March 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Palisades Goldcorp Ltd. (TSXV: PALI) ("Palisades" or the "Company"), a leading investment company in the junior resource sector, is pleased to announce a strategic decision to allocate a portion of its excess cash into physical gold, silver, and platinum bullion. This move underscores the Company's commitment to metals, with the aim of preserving purchasing power and enhancing long-term value for its stakeholders amid the evolving economic environment.

• With a robust financial position and a forward-thinking approach to portfolio management, Palisades is leveraging its excess cash to acquire tangible assets in a form that cannot be manipulated by external forces. The Company views physical bullion as a critical component of this strategy due to its unique attributes: it serves as a reliable store of value independent of financial systems, offers protection against inflation and currency devaluation, and provides a tangible asset that cannot be diluted and is less easily manipulated by central banks or market intermediaries. By investing in physical gold, silver, and platinum, Palisades is positioning itself to capitalize on the continued strength of these assets, ensuring long-term stability and diversification within its holdings.
  
  
• Palisades is purchasing and storing its bullion with Singapore-based Silver Bullion Pte Ltd. ("Silver Bullion"), which owns and operates The Reserve (Figures 1 and 2), the world's highest capacity silver vault, providing segregated ownership of physical metals while minimizing storage, counterparty and jurisdictional risks in a manner that traditional financial institutions cannot. Silver Bullion was founded by Palisades director Gregor Gregersen and bullion is being offered to the Company at a preferential premium to spot prices.
  
  
• Palisades made an initial purchase of approximately C$500,000 on February 28, 2025, comprising 30% gold, 35% silver, and 35% platinum. The Company may decide to increase or decrease these holdings based on market pricing and liquidity requirements.

"We are confident that investing in physical bullion is a prudent and strategic use of our excess cash," stated Collin Kettell, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Palisades. "Holding physical gold, silver, and platinum ensures we have direct ownership of assets with intrinsic value, free from counterparty risk or digital vulnerabilities. This decision reflects our disciplined approach to capital allocation and our focus on safeguarding shareholders' wealth while positioning the Company for future growth in an increasingly uncertain economic landscape."

The acquisition of physical bullion complements Palisades' existing portfolio and reinforces its prominence in the resource sector. By prioritizing assets that have historically retained value through economic cycles, the Company is bolstering its resilience against market volatility and reinforcing its role as a steward of enduring wealth. Palisades remains committed to exploring additional opportunities to maximize shareholder value while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
